'''Toad''' is a [[Dinohattan]] inhabitant in the 1993 ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' film. He is introduced as a street performer and devout critic of [[President Koopa]], playing anti-Koopa songs in revolt against him, detailing all the bad that he has done in their world. He is initially a [[Dinohattanite]] with a punk-inspired style and look, with a unique spiral-patterned buzz haircut. He is permanently transformed into a [[Goomba (film species)|Goomba]] by President Koopa early in the film. He is portrayed by [[Mojo Nixon]] in his Dinohattanite human-like form, and is portrayed by John Fifer in his Goomba form. | '''Toad''' is a [[Dinohattan]] inhabitant in the 1993 ''[[Super Mario Bros.

The film character appears to be loosely based on the character [[Toad]] from the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' video games (based on namesake and role of assisting the brothers and princess). Aside from this, his blue vest is the only direct reference to the video games' version of Toad. Earlier scripts of the movie had Toad die during the [[Devo Chamber]] sequence, with the friendly Goomba role being fulfilled by an unrelated character "Hark". Ultimately, the two characters were merged into one. In addition to that, earlier scripts of the movie had Toad named as "Lemmy" instead, in reference to [[Lemmy Koopa]]. The [[Super Mario Bros. Trading Cards|''Super Mario Bros.'' Trading Cards]] still erroneously refer to him as Lemmy on the holographic card. | The film character appears to be loosely based on the character [[Toad]] from the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' video games (based on namesake and role of assisting the brothers and princess).
