As the Taskmaster, Toad provides Mario with requests in the form of levels that he can complete to earn coins. Toad also appears in two of the stickers that players can post in Course World, with the same appearance: one of them depicts him high-fiving Toadette, and another depicts the two holding hands together. | ||

Toad returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' for the [[Wii U]] once again as a default lightweight character, only this time as a heavy lightweight. This means that his acceleration, handling, and traction stats are reduced to increase his speed and weight stats. He shares this trait with [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Shy Guy]], [[Toadette]], [[Lakitu]], [[Larry Koopa|Larry]], [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]], and [[Isabelle]]. | Toad returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' for the [[Wii U]] once again as a default lightweight character, only this time as a heavy lightweight.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Additionally, Toad now appears on his own in front of Peach when her standard special move is used, while the latter hides herself. Toad also appears as an Advanced-class Grab-type primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], which can be enhanced to [[Captain Toad]] at level 99. In his spirit battle, the player faces a [[Mii Brawler]] wearing a [[Super Mushroom]] hat and a Toad vest on the [[Princess Peach's Castle (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Princess Peach's Castle]] stage. Toad can also be seen in the artwork used for [[Cheep Charger]]'s spirit. As Peach's Echo Fighter, Daisy has a blue [[Toad (species)|retainer]] performing Toad's functions. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Toad features minor gameplay differences to Mario in this game; notably, he is able to pass through one-block tall gaps, which are usually only accessible to the Mini-Marios, by performing a [[handstand]] walk. Additionally, he can climb ropes fast without needing to perform a two-handed climb. | ||

In the v0.09 prototype of ''[[Hotel Mario]]'', Toad appears when [[Small Mario]] or [[Fire Mario]] opens a door. He either turns Small Mario into [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] or gives an [[extra life]] depending on which form Mario is in.<ref>{{cite|author=Game Pak Rat|date=February 26, 2024|title=Hotel Mario Beta Version - Part 2: Hotel 1, 2, & 3 Differences!|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhXKKouAqEU|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=February 26, 2024}}</ref> In the final game, his sprite was replaced by a blue mushroom.

The only recognizable differences in his current look consists of his physical appearance which included some defining factors in the recent years (such as redesigned eyes and a gold outline that was recently added to his traditional vest), and the corrected number of spots on his mushroom cap (the number of spots on his cap was inconsistent in the older ''Super Mario'' games). The addition of the red polka dot on the top of his head is first seen in the game ''Luigi's Mansion'' where even Luigi acknowledges the top spot and called it lovely if he is to take a picture of Toad with the [[Game Boy Horror]]. | ||

Toad has also been seen in different outfits and costumes throughout the various ''Super Mario'' games; however, it is the ''Mario Party'' series that has given Toad his most different and customized appearances.

In ''Mario Party 2'', Toad (along with the other main characters) often dressed up in different costumes in respect to the boards that the characters were playing on (such as a wizard in [[Horror Land]] or a live boat in [[Pirate Land]]). In ''Mario Party 4'', Toad is depicted to wearing a fancy white and black striped suit with a rather shiny red bow tie in regards to his status as one of the main hosts in the game (in the ending credits of the game, Toad reveals that he and the other hosts had received their new clothes through the appearance of the Party Cube). | ||
In the ''Super Mario'' games, the general appearance of a Toad is often changed drastically depending on the Power-Ups they use (as especially seen in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''). This is no different for Toad himself as games like ''Super Mario 3D Land'' portrayed him in his very own Tanooki suit (with a red scarf) whenever he has gained the power from a [[Super Leaf]] (thus, becoming Tanooki Toad). His alternate forms from ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show'' also portray him in different clothing styles such as his [[Fire Mario|Super Toad]] form (which portrays him with a reversed color pattern of a red mushroom cap and white spots) and the [[Toad Warrior]] (which depicts him in a typical biker outfit). In ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'', Toad is sometimes seen wearing yellow oversized sunglasses when it is hot outside. In the episodes [[Reign Storm]] and [[7 Continents for 7 Koopas]], Toad is seen shirtless wearing green swimming trunks, yellow sunglasses, and purple shoes. The [[Mini Toad]] toy from the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' games also stays true to Toad's original ''Fire Toad'' form by having a reversed colored mushroom cap whenever it becomes a [[Fire Mini Toad]]. | In the ''Super Mario'' games, the general appearance of a Toad is often changed drastically depending on the Power-Ups they use (as especially seen in ''New Super Mario Bros.
