The Toad Brigade is a group of five Toads who aid Mario in Super Mario Galaxy. They first accompanied Mario and Princess Peach to Isle Delfino in Super Mario Sunshine.
Residing in Toad Town, the Toad Brigade were scattered across the galaxy after Bowser kidnapped Princess Peach on the Star Festival. They followed Luigi until they were eventually seperated, and then discovered by Mario. Shortly afterwards, the Toad Brigade join Mario at the Comet Observatory, where they decide to help him in his quest to gather the Grand Stars. They are then seen throughout several galaxies in search for the stars, and often cheer Mario on during battles.
The five members of the Toad Brigade each have special attributes: the leader is a red Toad who strongly resembles the character Toad, the purple toad is the Mailtoad, the blue Toad wears glasses, the green Toad carries a pickaxe, and the yellow Toad is a coward who often falls asleep.
