What's the whole point behind their creation? Why can't we just have regular toad for the mainline platformers?
blue toad was in super mario bros 2 man, show some respect.

Toadette marry
>>750601938But those are two regular toads anon?
>>750601938They are absolutely necessary, can't think of a single other character that would work for a 4 player mario game
>>750602442I'm pretty sure the toads are genderless like sea sponges.
>>750601938They were made early on during the Mario Mandate era.Miyamoto would rather commit seppuku than see Wario or Waluigibin a 2D mainline game.
>>750602545Your post reminded me of this.>was 13>few months after NSMBW launched>watching a streamer on Justintv play the game while talking to his friends on Skype>they were all Sonic fans>the topic of yellow/blue Toad comes up>one of them says it should've been Sonic and Tails instead>all of them cheerfully agree and they talk about how amazing that would've beenI wanted to call them retarded but I would've been banned.

>>750602910When did shiggy say this?>>750603362Not cool dude!
Super Mario Bros. 2 US did it right back in 1988.>Mario>Luigi>Peach>ToadThis is all they had to do with New Super Mario Bros., just copy that format from SMB2 and you're gold. This was also a new opportunity to bring in Wart to a new audience and potentially other villains if Bowser couldn't kidnap Peach like always, because heaven forbid they don't recycle that shit for the 300th time.>>750602545Peach alongside THE Toad, not yellow/blue/red/green/purple toad, THE toad with a red cap and blue vest. If Peach has to be kidnapped, than Toad and say, Yoshi as a fully playable character, not a powerup or semi-invincible character. You also have Wario a la Super Mario Land and Waluigi to finally get him in the mainline Mario games. They got plenty to work with, and Wonder was definitely good with its presentation, but dogshit in everything else. When NSMB is more appealing, you know you fucked up real bad.
>>750601938blue toad best
>>750605949Post one with yellow toad.
>>750601938because red toad is a little slut
>>750602349I wish they properly distinguished toad as "a more capable and distinct toad" than the rest. Like Kirby has done with Bandana dee. That way you could have blue toad in mario party while red toad sells you stars. Blue toad as a playable character in more games. Instead we just got SMB2, 3d world, and some of the NSMB games. Toad is absolutely my favorite character in 3d world, the speed from toad, and the switch speed buff saved that game in my eyes.
>>750601938>3 and 4-player slot fillers>peach is reserved for damsel in distress role>one of them has been replaced with Toadette as the token girlI'm personally glad Yoshi has been promoted to playable, but they made him a second-class citizen (can't use powerups, so some collectibles are out of reach)>>750606810Toadette is already the token Toad character
>>750606913Fuck toadette. She can be fine as an alternative blue toad skin for girls, but blue toad should have been the one toad that isn't useless.
>>750606810I always figured Captain Toad was The Toad.
>>750606970What about yellow toad?
>>750607064NSMB should have been blue toad and toadette, but of course they didn't have toadette created by that point. Or better yet, they should have let peach be playable and had bowser be more creative instead of kidnapping her again. I love having the 4 different characters with 4 different sets of stats like SMB2 and 3d world had.
Toadette thread?Toadette thread.
>>750601938if toad is player 3, then who will be player 4 if peach is busy? and don't say toadette
>>750609786wario
so every player gets a distinct colour.Helps for readability, when lots of things are happening on screen.Plus, I guess toad was technically blue in SMB2 or something.
>>750609786Toad number 2
>>750609850what would his gimmick be? mario is the standard. luigi can jump high. toad is fast. peach could float. i don't think being fat and slow is very fun.
>>750609975elbow bash
>>750609975Tackle can break empty blocks instead of using a shell or tail/cape whip to break them.
The Japanese are the real life Toads and the Mushroom Kingdom is Japan
>>750603362Toadette as a fujoshi works so well
>>750606558>>750608243>sampleDeath
>>750609786A special game-specific character>NSMBWii introduces yellow toad which can stay because the disc forming the YXBA colors of the japanese snes controller's cute>NSMBU has Nabbit because insteadof the usual spiel of bowser kidnapping peach, it's a different new villain (basically a bowser equivaent of the nabbits)>NSMB2's whole theme of coins would have Mario, Luigi, BToad and a living coin guy (imagine that hockeypuck disc with limbs from ToyStory 1 but as a coin from mario)>3D Land's 4th player could be an animal, maybe a Spriixie from 3d world to act as a prelude to 3d world (which is where peach is playable, but could aso have said Sprixiecharacter)>Mario Maker would have its own OC with a hardhat helmet (imagine a metool from Megaman but with hands and stylized like a mario thing)>Mario Wonder's yellow toad equivalent should be Florian, or Yellow Toad has a subplot of him having romantic love with one of the flower kingdom toad-lookalikes and you play as said thingYellow Toad is still my nigga though. But having a game specific character as his equivalent works well.
>>750601938blue toad is tuff fuck you
>>750602349The ingame colors of various NES sprites are not meant to be literal. IDK why, it can't be a technical limitation for obvious reasons, but Toad is still red in all the promo art.
