Mailtoad: Difference between revisions

The '''Mailtoad''' is a purple [[Toad (species)|Toad]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', who is a member of the [[Toad Brigade]]. Unlike the other Toad Brigade members, Mailtoad is unique in that he periodically delivers messages to Mario in the [[Comet Observatory]] and on [[Starship Mario]]. Once his team is rescued in the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]], he will start delivering his mail. He also goes on missions to various other galaxies with the rest of the Toad Brigade. He is the only member of the Toad Brigade that does not appear in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''.

==History==

[[File:Mailtoadsmg.png|thumb|left|200px|Mailtoad talking to Mario at the Comet Observatory.]]

After the Toad Brigade is rescued by Mario, Mailtoad will have a letter from [[Princess Peach]] containing five [[extra life|1-Up]]s (or 20 if the player selects [[Luigi]]) every once in a while. He continues to deliver mail to Mario throughout the entire game, and will post certain messages on the [[Wii]] message board. Mailtoad will also give Mario various other letters, such as when Luigi finds a [[Power Star]] and needs rescuing, and Mailtoad includes a picture of where Luigi and the Star are. At the start of the game he is located near the Garage but after Mario gets his second [[Grand Star]] he will have moved near [[Rosalina]].

In the ''[[Super Mario 3D All-Stars]]'' version of the game, in "The Star Festival", Mailtoad now has different dialogue. The "Yes" or "No" text is removed and thus the two images obtained by him are automatically sent to the [[Nintendo Switch]] picture album if the player talks to him. In addition, the message that was originally read by the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' staff sent to the [[Wii#Wii Message Board|Wii Message Board]] is now read by Mailtoad in-game.

Mailtoad stands on [[Starship Mario]], ready to deliver letters whenever Mario returns from a Power Star mission. If Mailtoad has a letter or postcard, a small letter symbol appears over his head. The player needs to speak to Mailtoad to receive the message. Some letters are from Peach and include bonus 1-Up Mushrooms. When Mario receives an invitation for a special event or challenge, Mailtoad also presents this to the plumber. Mailtoad keeps all delivered mail handy, so if Mario ever wants to revisit a past correspondence, he can just speak to the mailtoad, unlike in the first game where past messages from Mailtoad could not be read again.

Additionally, if the player loses a certain amount of lives in one save file, then talks to the Mailtoad in another save file, they will receive the same number of 1-Up Mushrooms on the latter save file.

After being absent in ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'', Mailtoad returns in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. He runs the [[regional coin]] section of a traveling [[Crazy Cap]] store inside the Toad Brigade's [[Starshroom]], appearing in it along with [[Yellow Toad (Toad Brigade)|Yellow Toad]] in the [[Lost Kingdom]], the [[Moon Kingdom]] and the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]]. He also appears on an expedition to the [[Dark Side]] with the [[Hint Toad|other]] [[Banktoad|Toads]] after the story objective [[Arrival at Rabbit Ridge!]] is complete, where he comments on the many [[rabbit]]s and pieces of [[Hint Art]]. In this game, he wears an exploration outfit and backpack to match the rest of the Toad Brigade, as well as a [[Crazy Cap#Explorer Hat|safari hat]] when on the Dark Side.
