—Fortune Toad, Paper Mario: The Origami King

The Fortune Toad is a minor character in Paper Mario: The Origami King. He is a green Toad set up just outside the Earth Vellumental Temple in Picnic Road, next to an accessories stand. Mario can purchase fortunes from him for 100 coins each. Each fortune Mario buys has a direct, minor, and immediate impact on what happens to him after reading it. The effects can be positive, negative, or neither.

His stand is a reference to O-mikuji, a type of fortune telling performed outside Shinto shrines and Buddhist shrines in Japan. The tiers of fortune, in the Japanese text, are 大吉 (great blessing), 中吉 (middle blessing), 小吉 (small blessing), 凶 (curse), and 大凶 (great curse).

The way the fortunes are determined is by first rolling a fortune category, then picking a random fortune from that selection.

  • "Great Fortune!": 10%
  • "Lucky You!": 35%
  • "A Boring Blessing": 20%
  • "It's Nothing": 15%
  • "An Actual Curse": 20%

The first fortune is rigged to be a 30% chance to pull "Great Fortune!" and a 70% chance to pull "Lucky You!". Mario cannot get the exact same fortune twice in a row, and he cannot get the same category more than twice in a row.

  • Great
    • Great Fortune! - You are a superstar! = A Super Star falls from the sky.
    • Great Fortune! - You will feel a rush of good health! = Mario is healed for 100 HP.
    • Great Fortune! - Your path is paved with wealth! = A small trail of 100-Coins spawns nearby.
    • Great Fortune! - Your path leads to a useful item! = A Shiny Hammer spawns nearby.
  • Good
    • Lucky You! - Someone will pay you a compliment! = The Toad gives Mario a compliment along with a small burst of confetti.
    • Lucky You! - You'll soon be feeling better! = Mario is healed for 20 HP.
    • Lucky You! - You may find a small fortune! = A small trail of 10-Coins spawns nearby.
    • Lucky You! - You might find something useful... = A Fire Flower spawns nearby.
  • Small Blessing - All of these have no effect. In the Japanese version, these represent 小吉.
    • A Boring Blessing - At least it's not a bad one!
    • A Boring Blessing - Nothing bad will happen!
  • Misfortune - These also have no effect. In the Japanese version, these represent 凶.
    • It's Nothing - Nothing will happen. Congrats?
    • It's Nothing - You just wasted your time reading this.
  • Bad
    • An Actual Curse - Uh-oh! Look out below! = A huge Thwomp crushes Mario and he loses 20 HP.
    • An Actual Curse - Your path is paved with pain! = Mario loses 1 HP every few seconds.
    • An Actual Curse - You're gonna get less rich, quick. = Mario loses 10 coins every few seconds.
    • An Actual Curse - You're about to lose your grip... = Mario drops his consumable items (Mushrooms and Fire Flowers). One of each can be picked back up, but the rest are gone.
