- “I came to this island a few days ago... I kept sinking in the sand! And got chased by those shark monsters! So I got stuck here. I thought I'd never see my friends again! Or return to the Mushroom Kingdom!”
- —Red Toad, Mario & Luigi: Brothership
Toad in the Sand is a side quest in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. In this quest, Mario and Luigi must rescue and return a Blue Toad to a Red Toad on Allsand Island.
Toad in the Sand becomes available after linking Skorcheen Island or Slippenglide Island and expires after the first visit to Wayaway Island. Clearing the side quest awards two Ultra Syrup Jars and a Super Candy.
Side quest
To start the side quest, Mario and Luigi must speak to a Red Toad located on a high up ledge near the lighthouse of Allsand Island. The Ball Blitz Bros. Move is needed to use a ramp to reach to higher elevation. UFO Spin must then be used to travel across the wide gaps and reach the Toad. After talking to the Toad, he requests to have his picture taken, to which Mario and Luigi agree. The Toad then realizes that it is the Bros. who have taken his picture and tells them about his experiences on Allsand Island. A Blue Toad then calls for help, and the Red Toad determines him to be the Toad he came to the island with. Mario and Luigi agree to help him out.
The Blue Toad is on solid ground to the left of the lighthouse, on low elevation. After reaching to and speaking with the Blue Toad, he excitedly thanks the Bros. for saving him, but he accidentally falls in the quicksand. He is brought back to his friend, who gives Mario and Luigi their rewards. Before heading to Shipshape Island, the Red Toad requests another picture to be taken as a memento of the event, this time with the Blue Toad. Precisely when the photo is taken, Luigi trips and ends up in the shot as well, surprising the Toads. The side quest is then complete.
