'''Toadies''' are enemies from that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. They usually travel in groups of four and are usually depicted as followers of [[Kamek]] the [[Magikoopa]].

The groups of red Toadies have not been seen to directly attack anything and can not be attacked themselves by Yoshi (save for in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> Time Attack mode). However, in the final boss battle in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', they could be accidentally shot down with eggs that were thrown so high they went off-screen. The red Toadies plummeted slowly from the top of the screen to the bottom.

==History==
===''Yoshi'' series===

In ''Yoshi's Island'', four red-cloaked Toadies will carry [[Baby Mario]] away if [[Yoshi]] allows him to float free for too long. There were also the seldom seen green [[Solo Toadies]] who would swipe Baby Mario if he fell off Yoshi's back, and another dark pink variety that would swoop in and seize the baby immediately after he was dislodged from Yoshi. Unlike the red Toadies, the Solo Toadies did not fly off to Kamek immediately but would hover around with Baby Mario, making it difficult for Yoshi to get him back. A group of Toadies appeared in ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', assisting Kamek, yet again.

In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', the Toadies would appear and carry defeated Yoshis off to [[Bowser's Castle]]. In ''Yoshi Touch & Go'', Yoshi must stop the Toadies from stealing Luigi in Time Attack mode by throwing eggs at them. The four red Toadies (each of which had two hit points, giving the group a total of eight) would carry Luigi at the top of the screen, shielded by a group of many purple Toadies who could each absorb one hit. If Yoshi were to break through the purple Toadies and defeat the red ones before time ran out, he could save Baby Luigi. Small green Solo Toadies also appear as generic enemies in ''Yoshi Touch & Go''; rather than following a determined path, they would make a beeline for Baby Mario or Yoshi.

The Toadies reprised their role in the direct sequel to ''Yoshi's Island'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Serving Kamek who had traveled back in time, the Toadies also kidnap babies from all over the Mushroom Kingdom, including [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Peach]]. Baby Mario's and Baby Peach's captors were attacked by the [[Stork]] who saved them from being kidnapped. Toadies also appeared in the mini-game [[Scratch and Match]], which is featured as a bonus challenge in ''Yoshi's Island'' and ''Yoshi's Island DS''.

Toadies also appear as Kamek's assistants in the [[Club Nintendo]] comic "[[Mario in Mariozilla]]." They help him invade Mario's garden, but when his plan to shrink Mario fails, they flee. The Toadies are later seen during a fight between Mario and Kamek, supporting the Magikoopa. After Kamek and Mario get shrunk by the abilities of the Magikoopa's broom, some Toadies work together with [[Dr. Light]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] in order to transform their master back.

In this comic, Toadies looked different from their appearance in the games: their actual eyes and pupils were visible behind their glasses, rather than just the spiral form; their characteristic teeth were missing; they wore armor with round short sleeves instead of their usual robes; and they had fingers.

===''Mario Party'' series===
The orb item depicting a Toady in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' is incorrectly labeled as "[[Magikoopa]] Orb". This is corrected to "Toady Orb" in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', although the ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' mini-game [[Broom Zoom]] seems to confuse them with Magikoopas again (saying that Toadies use brooms, while it is actually Magikoopas who use them). Also in Mario Party Advance, one of the missions includes Mario or Luigi helping find a group of toadys a stage for them to perform at. In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Toadies run the [[Item Shop|Item Shops]] in [[Bowser's Warped Orbit]], and two of them hold the 7000 points sign in [[Test for the Best]].

== Trivia ==
* Toadies are known as コカメック (Co-Kameks, or Small Kameks) in Japan. Whether this means they are merely [[Kamek]]'s followers or actually [[Magikoopas]]-in-training is unknown. This explains the translation confusion in the Mario Party series.
* The name "Toady" is taken from a word meaning "underling." Considering that "Toady" is only capitalized in certain games, the name may have been intended as a mere use of the non-proper word before Toadies were confirmed as a species.
*[[Fawful]] describes himself as a Toady. However, he appears to have more in common with [[Beanish]], save the spectacles.
