'''Toad Houses'''<ref>''New Super Mario Bros.'' instruction booklet, page 13.</ref> (also known as '''Toad's Houses'''<ref>''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' instruction booklet, page 7.</ref>) are [[Mushroom]]-shaped buildings that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They have since made appearances in more recent games. Toad Houses are usually located across every world map except for the last world within the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games. Toad Houses always hold either a useful surprise or reward for the player, most frequently power-ups. Within most games, Toad Houses are generally run and hosted by ally characters such as [[Toad]], [[Toadsworth]], and a variety of other [[Toad (species)|Toads]].

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', upon entering a Toad House, [[Toad]] will appear and present the player with three [[treasure chest|treasure box]]es. While it's implied that each box has a different content, the game's code randomly decides the item given only after opening a box, meaning there's no advantage to pick a box over the others<ref>[http://www.the-interweb.com/serendipity/index.php?/archives/127-Toad-Houses-Disassembled.html The Interweb Toad Houses Disassembled].</ref>. Some Toad Houses will only ever have one item, typically a more powerful item. Toad Houses in earlier worlds tend to hold more basic power-ups such as [[Super Mushroom]]s and [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]], while the ones in later worlds may hold [[Tanooki Suit]]s and [[Hammer Suit]]s. The player may only open one box, after which the Toad House cannot be accessed again.

In [[World 1-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-3]], if the player presses and holds {{button|Paddown}} on the white block near the end of the level, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] will fall "behind" the level's objects (bushes, blocks, enemies, etc.). If the player continues to run right, they will end up behind the black background at the end of the level, where a secret Toad House holding a [[Recorder|Whistle]] can be found.

In ''Super Mario All-Stars'' and ''Super Mario Advance 4'', the Toad Houses may either be yellow or red. In the former, there does not appear to be any pattern as to which house gets what color, but in the latter game, those featuring three random items are always yellow, while those that only ever have one item in them are always red.

Dark Land is the only world in the game that does not feature Toad Houses.

=====White Mushroom House=====
{{split|Toad House|Mushroom Coin (''Super Mario Advance'' series)|section=yes}}
[[File:Secret Toad House SMA4.png|thumb|right|The interior of a White Mushroom House in ''Super Mario Advance 4''.]]
If a player collects a certain amount of [[coin]]s in a world's particular level, a '''White Mushroom House''',<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, pages 10, 15, 18, 33, 48, 65.</ref><ref>The ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Player's Guide, pages 18, 24, 49, 55, 70, 86, 99.</ref><ref>''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide back cover.</ref> also known as '''White House''',<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, pages 10, 15, 37.</ref> will appear. Despite their name, they are colored a shade of blue in remakes of the game. Within these special Toad Houses lies a single box. A [[P-Wing|Magic Wing]] can be found in the box in odd-numbered worlds, while an [[Anchor]] will appear in even-numbered worlds.

The following shows the criteria for unlocking the White Mushroom Houses.

{| width=300px border=1 style="text-align:center; border-collapse:collapse;background:white; margin: 0 auto;"
|- bgcolor=#dedede

|-
! [[World 7-2 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 7-2]]
| 46 coins (All) || Magic Wing
|}

In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the player will gain unlimited access to default Toad Houses after total [[completion]]. Also, an extra feature was added: after the game is completed, a Mushroom Coin<ref>Hodgson, David S J. ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 24.</ref> appears at the beginning of the above stages, which displays the number of coins necessary to unveil the White Mushroom House on the bottom-left corner when hit.

=====World-e=====
There are also three different colored Toad Houses in the bonus [[World-e]] of ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''. However, instead of containing items in boxes, they have mini-games that reward random items. To unlock the gates blocking them, one must collect the required amount of [[Advance Coin]]s.

{| width=250px border=1 style="text-align:center; border-collapse:collapse;background:white; margin: 0 auto;"
|- bgcolor=#dedede
! width=50px | Color
! width=100px | Requirement
! width=100px | Mini-Game
|-
|[[Blue Mushroom House|Blue]] || 30 Advance Coins || Dig
|-
|[[Red Mushroom House|Red]] || 50 Advance Coins || Ball
|-
|[[Orange Mushroom House|Orange]] || 80 Advance Coins || Spikes
|}

However, the full complement of [[e-Reader]] level cards were released only in Japan. In North America, the maximum number of Advance coins obtainable in the GBA release was 44 (49 counting the one promotional level), leaving only the first mini-game unlockable, while in other regions, the e-Reader was not released at all.

In the [[Virtual Console]] release of the game, all e-Reader levels were available worldwide without the need for cards, and so all of the mini-games can be unlocked.

====''BS Super Mario Collection''====
[[File:BSSMCToadHouse.png|thumb|left|Toad House in ''[[BS Super Mario Collection]]''.]]
In ''[[BS Super Mario Collection]]'', Toad House is a screen with pink background where the player simply chooses one of the three boxes, which may include [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. They appear in week 2 and 3 installments, which are based on ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

A variant known as 「<span class="explain" title="Nae no ie">なえのいえ</span>」 (Nae's house) is hosted by Nae Yūki, who narrated the game with live audio. This house appears as a [[Fire Flower]] panel on a world map on all the known installments. Similar to Toad Houses, they are screens with yellow background. By answering yes to both of Nae's questions, players activate 「<span class="explain" title="Obake mōdo">おばけモード</span>」 (ghost mode) that allows them to become [[Fire Mario]] as they exit a level, but prevents them from participating in rankings.

====''Super Mario World''====
[[List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content|Pre-release]] screenshots of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' showed Toad Houses were going to appear in this game. The [[Top Secret Area]] has a similar function to the Toad Houses in the final game, but can be used infinitely.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
Toad Houses reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' on the world map, often requiring [[Star Coin]]s to open up (or completing a bonus, lettered level). Toad Houses (except the Blue Toad House) disappear after one use. However, if the brothers can complete all eighty levels in the game, all Toad Houses will reappear and become permanent (marked by a blue circle on the world map), providing up to 99 lives and infinite items to help find all the Star Coins. Manned by [[Toadsworth]], they supply all the helpful items in the game in four different varieties:

=====Red Toad House=====
[[File:NSMBDS Red Toad House.png|frame]]
'''Red Toad Houses''' (or '''red Toad houses'''<ref name=NSMB>Loe, Casey. The ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide. Page 16.</ref>) are capped by a red mushroom on the world map. A giant [[Roulette Block]] alternates between a [[Super Mushroom]], [[Fire Flower]], [[Blue Shell]] and a [[Mini Mushroom]]. Whatever is displayed when [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] bumps it from below is what will be stored as the backup item. If a brother has a backup item already and the item chosen has less or equal value to the original backup item, 1000 points are awarded instead.

=====Green Toad House=====
[[File:ToadHouseGreen.png|frame|left]]
'''Green Toad Houses''' (or '''green Toad houses'''<ref name=NSMB/>) are capped by a green mushroom. Six [[? Block]]s are spread out. Three contain a [[1-Up Mushroom]] card. One contains a 1-Up Mushroom X3 card, which is equal to 3 1-Ups. One contains a X2 card. One contains a Bowser card. The X2 card doubles all cards already revealed, and the Bowser card ends the minigame (though Mario keeps any 1-Ups revealed). Up to twelve 1-Ups can be won, and if Mario hits the ? Block with a Bowser card right away, no extra lives are awarded.

=====Orange Toad House=====
[[File:Mega Mushroom House.png|frame]]
'''Orange Toad Houses''' (or '''Orange Toad houses'''<ref name=NSMB/>) are Toad Houses that look like [[Mega Mushroom]]s. When Mario or Luigi enter this house, Toadsworth will create a [[Mega ? Block]]. When hit, a Mega Mushroom will be stored; it will override any item in the item slot. Like other houses featured in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', Mario will usually have to pay five Star Coins to pass the [[Star Coin Sign|signpost]] leading to the Mega Mushroom House. These Toad houses are featured in every world of ''New Super Mario Bros.''

=====Blue Toad House=====
[[File:NSMB Blue Toad House.png|frame|left]]
A '''Blue Toad House''' (or '''blue Toad house'''<ref name=blue>Loe, Casey. The ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide. Page 128.</ref>) is found at the beginning of World 1 after beating the game. Inside it, there are blocks with different designs on them. These are the different backgrounds the player can select for their [[Nintendo DS]]'s touch screens, and they cost twenty [[Star Coin]]s each. After Mario or Luigi open up all the [[Star Coin Sign]]s in the game, a fifth background can be chosen.

=====Extra Toad Houses=====
By ending the level with the last two numbers of the [[Time Limit|time limit]] being the same (except 00), three things are triggered: the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' "Course Clear" theme plays instead of the normal one, fireworks go off (1 for ending in 11, 2 for ending in 22, and so on, awarding 4,000 points per explosion for a maximum of 36,000), and an extra Toad House appears at the starting point where Mario first enters the world. Time limits ending in 11, 22, or 33 yield a Red Toad House that awards items, 44, 55, and 66 yield a Green Toad House for an extra life minigame, and 77, 88, and 99 yield an Orange Toad House for a Mega Mushroom reward. None of these houses are permanent, even after completing all of the levels in the game.

Toad Houses reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Unlike the first ''New Super Mario Bros.'', this game does not require Mario to collect Star Coins to open Toad Houses. Instead, the player will automatically unlock them when certain levels are completed. Also, a Toad House will appear at the start of the world if Fireworks are triggered, like the predecessor. In single-player, this is accomplished by rescuing a Toad. In multiplayer, all players must reach the flagpole when the last two digits of the remaining time are the same. In both modes, the last digit of the remaining time tells how many fireworks are set off and each one adds 4,000 points to the player's game score. After using a Toad House, the players will get a tip, reminding them to use items on a tough course in Red Toad Houses or to visit [[Peach's Castle]] to watch [[hint movies]] in Green Toad Houses. There are three colors of Toad Houses: red, green, and yellow. If Mario gets a Red Toad house, he will play [[Power-up Panels]]. If he gets a Green Toad House, he will play the game [[1-up Blast]]. If he gets a Yellow Toad House, he will get a [[Super Star]] as a reward in the [[treasure chest]]. All Toad Houses become permanent in this game, as well, when the player's save file contains five stars.

=====Red Toad House=====
In Red Toad Houses, [[Power-up Panels]] is played by matching two of the same items. If two [[Bowser]] or [[Bowser Jr.]] images are matched, the game ends and Mario keeps the items earned from the game.

=====Green Toad House=====
[[File:NSMBW Green Toad House.png|thumb|x100px|left|A Green Toad House.]]
In Green Toad Houses, [[1-up Blast]] is played by hopping into a [[cannon]] and pressing {{button|wii|2}} to shoot out and pop balloons to earn extra lives.

=====Yellow Toad House=====
[[File:NSMBW Gold Toad House.png|thumb|x100px|A Yellow Toad House.]]
Yellow Toad Houses contain one Super Star in a chest, and they are much rarer than the other Toad Houses. These houses have white roofs with multiple stars around the house.

=====Extra Toad Houses=====
Like in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', Toad Houses can appear at the starting points of worlds by using the same strategy. In multi-player mode, the strategy is exactly the same, but since there are no Orange Toad Houses, Yellow Toad Houses appear when the time limit's last two digits show 77, 88, or 99, and the times for the Red Toad House and Green Toad House are flipped. In single player mode, the strategy is slightly different. Instead of finishing the stage with the last two digits of the time limit being the same, if Mario or Luigi saves the [[Toad (species)|Toad]] in the level and takes him to the end, only the last digit counts (e.g. 1, 2, and 3 make a Green Toad House appear instead of 11, 22, and 33). Once again, these Toad Houses are not permanent.
{{br}}

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
[[File:ToadMarioSM3DL.png|thumb|right|200px|The inside of a Red Toad House in ''Super Mario 3D Land''.]]
Toad Houses make a reappearance in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' where they are manned by Toad himself and a variety of other colored Toads (depending on the situation). Unlike in previous games, Mario can explore the House's surroundings before entering the building itself. The Red Toad Houses, which are run by Toad (Tanooki Toad in the Special Worlds), provide Mario with power-ups that would be able to help the hero on his journey. If Mario or Luigi leaves the Toad House without collecting a power-up, the Toad House will still disappear. The Toad Houses also allow players to access [[Gift Box|gifts]] that they receive via StreetPass, known as [[StreetPass Gift]]s. The number of power-ups that Mario can receive from StreetPass Gifts depends on how many times the player has encountered the same Mii with StreetPass. A maximum of five power-ups can be received at the same time, from among [[Super Mushroom]]s, [[Fire Flower]]s, [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]], [[Boomerang Flower]]s, and [[Statue Leaf|Statue Leaves]].<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gW3VXpt4cBc</ref> [[P-Wing]]s may also appear occasionally. Without the use of StreetPass, only Super Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, and Super Leaves can be received. A single Blue Toad House is found in [[World 3 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 3]], where players can see an album of the photos they have received (12 in total).
{{br}}

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[File:CTR-SMB2-12.png|thumb|A Red Toad House's interior in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''.]]
Red Toad Houses, Green Toad Houses, and Yellow Toad Houses return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Like in the original ''New Super Mario Bros.'', some of them requires Star Coins to access, while others are unlocked either automatically or by secret exits in other levels, like in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Completing all levels in the game, including [[World Star (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Star]] (without [[White Raccoon Mario]]) makes the Toad Houses stay permanently on the map, providing the player with endless items, including [[Gold Flower]]s and [[Super Star]]s. Unlike the previous two games, Toad Houses cannot be summoned by fireworks, as that feature is replaced by [[Rainbow Course]]s.

=====Red Toad House=====
These houses are run by Toad again and Mario and/or Luigi may select one of the power-ups provided by Toad as an inventory item, if it's empty (should be chosen first), and another as the current power-up. The player may choose not to include an inventory item too. In the first Toad House, Toad will provide a [[Super Mushroom]] and two [[Fire Flower]]s. After that, Toad Houses provide the same three items: a Fire Flower, a [[Super Leaf]] or a [[Mini Mushroom]].

=====Green Toad House=====
[[File:NSMB2-GMush-House.png|thumb|left|A Green Toad House in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''.]]
Mario/Luigi plays a simple minigame in this house. He needs to hit a glove from below to knock [[1-Up Mushroom]]s that Toad throws in the beginning to an above platform down to him so he could collect them to earn extra lives. It is possible to miss the 1-Ups that come down, wasting them.

=====Yellow Toad House=====
These Toad Houses function in a similar way as they did in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. In all of these houses though, Mario will get a Gold Flower from Toad this time around instead of a Super Star. However, a single Yellow Toad House in World Star that can be unlocked by getting all Star Coins in the game gives Mario a Super Star to use in his item reserve.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
[[File:NSMBUToadHouse.png|thumb|250px|Mario inside a Red Toad House in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.]]
Red and Green Toad Houses reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. Additionally, there is also a Purple Toad House between [[Acorn Plains]] and [[Sparkling Waters]]. No Toad Houses appear if the player gets double digits at the end of a course, rather a Toad will appear behind the end-of-level fortress and give the player an item. A Red Toad House can be seen in the background during the game's credits; later, [[Nabbit]] is seen robbing the Toad House.

=====Red Toad House=====
There are two Red Toad Houses: one involving hitting the right [[? Block]] for the items, and another that involves [[Baby Yoshi]]s. In the first one, there are three, four or five [[Winged ? Block]]s. One will have an icon of a Super Star, another will have a Super Mushroom and the rest will have Bowser's symbol on top. Then they will disappear into the ? Blocks and the blocks will fly around the Toad House, swapping positions. When they stop moving the player has to hit the ? Blocks and they will get whatever power-up is inside it. If the player hits the ? Block with the Bowser symbol, the game ends, but they get to keep what power-ups they earned before hitting that block. 

In the latter, Baby Yoshis swallow icons that give the player a chance to win or lose the minigame. [[Balloon Baby Yoshi]]s have the item icons which determine what power-up the player will get, [[Bubble Baby Yoshi]]s hold multiplier icons that determine how many power-ups the player will get, and the [[Glowing Baby Yoshi]]s hold a Toad icon or a [[Bowser]] icon. The former allows the player to get the power-up, and the latter automatically marks as a loss. The player must fit the Baby Yoshis in their respective color spots.

=====Green Toad House=====
On both sides of the Toad House are [[cannon]]s, which shoot out 1-Up balloons, [[coin]]s, and Bowser balloons. The player(s) must collect more 1-Up balloons than Bowser balloons and coins to gather up lives. Collecting the Bowser balloons decreases the amount of 1-Ups the player get in total (except those technically earned from coins). The game is over when the timer runs out.

=====Purple Toad House=====
There is a single Purple Toad House situated on [[Secret Island]] and it can only be reached after the game is completed via a [[Pipe Cannon]]. The Toad House contains various records, such as how many coins players have collected, how many [[Boost Block]]s were placed, and so on. The house belongs to [[Nabbit]].

====''Super Mario 3D World''====
[[File:ToadHouse_SM3DW.png|thumb|250px|Mario inside the Toad House.]]
Toad Houses also appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. They work like the boxes in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', but contain two [[Gift Box|presents]] (big and small) instead of three. When a player opens one of the boxes, the other one disappears, and there is a 75 percent chance that the chosen box contains four power-ups, and a 25 percent chance that it contains only one [[Super Mushroom]]. Each world's Toad Houses are hosted by Toads of different colors. Yellow Toads host houses in [[World 1 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 1]] and [[World 2 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 2]], Green Toads in [[World 3 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 3]] and [[World 4 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 4]], and Purple Toads in the rest of the worlds with the exception of the special worlds ([[World Star (Super Mario 3D World)|Star]], [[World Mushroom (Super Mario 3D World)|Mushroom]], [[World Flower (Super Mario 3D World)|Flower]] and [[World Crown|Crown]]). Some Toad Houses are hidden in bushes, pipes or buildings in the worlds. They reappear if the player gets a Game Over or beats [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]].
{{br}}

====''Super Mario Run''====
{{rewrite-expand|section=y}}
In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', Toad Houses can be used as buildings in the [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|Kingdom Builder]]. There are also three special Toad Houses can be placed in Kingdom Builder granting access to their bonus game.

*'''Red Bonus Game House''': The minigame takes place in a ghost house.
*'''Blue Bonus Game House''': The minigame is based on the [[Bonus Game (Super Mario World)|Bonus Game]] from ''Super Mario World''.
*'''Yellow Bonus Game House''': The minigame is based on the Battle Mode stage from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. It features a green pipe shooting out coins, Rally Tickets and fireballs.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' versions 3.0.0 and later, three different types of green Toad Houses can be placed on a world map in [[Super Mario Maker 2#World Maker|World Maker]], each with its own minigame that can be played to earn extra lives:

*'''Match & Win!''': Directly based on the [[Spade Panel]] slot minigame from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Making a [[Super Mushroom]] grants the player one life, making a [[Fire Flower]] gives three lives, and making a Super Star gives five lives. If the player fails to make any of those, the Toad House generates the resulting picture as an object and no lives are awarded.
*'''Pop & Win!''': The player has to press {{button|ns|A}} repeatedly to inflate a green Toad House balloon as much as possible. The player can earn one, three, or five lives depending on how large the balloon is inflated before it pops. This minigame is a reference to the Famicom Disk Writer kiosks when it writes new games for the [[Family Computer Disk System|Famicom Disk System]], and even uses an SNES-styled arrangement of the original music and sound effects.<ref>Japancommercials4U2 (February 18, 2009). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKN3uWZ5lrQ&t=4m9s Game Music DVD Bonus - Famicom Disk Writer] (at 4:09). ''YouTube''. Retrieved May 13, 2020.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/Akfamilyhome/status/1252911891615084544 Famicom Disk Writer reference], as pointed out by Akfamilyhome</ref>
*'''Catch & Win!''': The player has to jump and catch 10 baseballs fired by a [[Bill Blaster]]-like cannon so they do not hit the green Toad House behind them. The cannon fires baseballs at varying speeds and trajectories. The player can earn five lives by catching every ball, three lives if the House is hit once, and one life if the House is hit twice. If the Toad House suffers three hits, the player fails the minigame and [[Weird Mushroom (item)|Weird Mario]] appears from inside the house and shoos them away. This minigame uses sound effects and an SNES-styled arrangement of the title theme from the NES game ''{{wp|Baseball (1983 video game)|Baseball}}''.

After playing a minigame, the Toad House disappears.

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
[[File:TAoSMB3ToadHouse.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Toad's house as seen in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''.]] 
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Toad Houses were shown to be the actual residences of the Mushroom People living in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. [[Toad]]'s house in particular was a frequently used location during the course of the series. In addition to the houses, most commercial buildings were shaped like Mushrooms, such as the [[Mushroom Land Central Library]] and the [[Mushroom Kingdom Orphanage]].

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
[[File:ToadHouseGoombaVillage.png|200px|thumb|Inside a Toad House in ''Paper Mario''.]]
[[File:PM Goomba Village Toad House.png|200px|left|thumb|The Toad House of the [[Goomba Village (place)|Goomba Village]] in ''Paper Mario''.]]
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Mario and his partners can restore their [[Heart Point|HP]], [[Flower Point|FP]], and [[Star Power|SP]] at a Toad House. They appear in almost every town, and they are each run by a Toad. The Toad House in [[Goomba Village (place)|Goomba Village]] has the slogan "Refresh your body and mind", while the others have "Refresh your body and soul". In the later [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' games]], the Toad Houses are replaced by [[Inn]]s. Unlike the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|sequel]], Mario can sleep in a Toad House free of charge.
{{br}}

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
Toad Houses reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. They are only seen in [[Decalburg]], and do not serve the same purpose as in the original ''Paper Mario''. A few Toads are trapped in the houses during the beginning of the game. Some notable Toad Houses include the [[Sticker Museum]] and the [[Shop|Sticker Shop]].

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
[[File:PMCS ChateauChanterelle01.png|thumb|A Toad House in ''Paper Mario: Color Splash''.]]
Four Toad Houses appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. [[Prof. Kinopio]] resides in a yellow house in [[Château Chanterelle]], containing a doghouse and a barn in the backyard. The [[Green Energy Plant]] contains a Toad House with electronic equipment in and around it. On [[Vortex Island]], a purple Toad House has an entrance to the parallel world behind it. In the parallel world, the house remains, except a friendly [[Shy Guy]] inhabits it instead.

===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party 9''====
Toad Houses appear in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. They can only be accessed by landing on a [[Lucky Space]]. They are run by [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]], and they give the player the items on the back of the cards they turn over. There are always four cards, and one card will always contain nothing on it. Before the player gets to turn over the cards, the cards are shuffled, making what the player wins random.

They can win any of these items:
*[[1-2-3 Dice Block]]
*[[0-1 Dice Block]]
*[[4-5-6 Dice Block]]
*[[Slow Dice Block]]
*3 [[Mini Star]]s

It all depends on the two cards the player turns over.

The Toad Houses also appear in several [[minigame]]s, like [[Goomba Village (minigame)|Goomba Village]], [[Goomba Bowling]], and [[Toad and Go Seek]].

====''Mario Party 10''====
Toad Houses reappear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', appearing only in Mario Party mode. When a player passes by a Toad House, all of the players enter the Toad House to obtain Special Dice Blocks. Additionally, the current captain's roulette cycles more slowly, and they have the option to discard one of their Special Dice Blocks if they already have two, unlike the other players, who cannot obtain another Special Dice Block if they already have two.

===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
Toad Houses appear in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'' where the player can make their teammates stronger or enhance their Skills using the six spots inside. Toad Houses appear the the start of each world, but the player can also access it from the Select World menu.

====Edit Team====
Hosted by a green Toad, Edit Team allows the player to create and edit up to six teams of allies before entering a course. 

====Power Up====
Hosted by a red Toad, Power Up allows the player to raise the [[Experience Point|XP]] of an ally enough to level up by depowering other allies for their XP. Depowering allies removes them from the player's Ally Box and up to five allies can be depowered at a time. Teammates getting an ally's XP will receive 50% more if their attributes match.
