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.
'''Toadies''' (singular '''Toady''' or sometimes '''Toadie''') are small [[Magikoopa]] relatives with propellers on their heads and are normally dressed in red, causing them to also somewhat resemble [[Fly Guy]]s. The most prominent Toadies are [[Kamek's Toadies|a particular group of four]] that work for [[Kamek]], though singular Toadies also appear. The word "toady" means "underling" (usually in the context of bullying or otherwise intimidating), and its use does not always refer to Toadies as a species, one such example being [[Fawful]] referring to himself as one in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''.


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''.

====''Yoshi's New Island''====
[[File:YNI Solo Toady.png|thumb]]
Toadies appear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. Kamek's Toadies look and act the same as before. Solo Toadies also reappear, now depicted as having purple robes and ordinary-colored skin and lacking shoes, though Green Toadies are absent.


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 by throwing eggs at them. 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.
===''Yoshi's Story''===
[[File:YSToady.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', four red Toadies resembling Kamek's Toadies carry [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s off to [[Bowser's Castle]] if they are defeated. However, if the player rescues a [[White Shy Guy]] in one of the levels and completes it, he will be able to save one captured Yoshi, essentially making him the equivalent of a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. They also are seen in the ending, where they help out [[Baby Bowser]] after he is defeated by one of the newborn Yoshis by carrying him out of the castle in a similar manner to how they carry defeated Yoshis.


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). In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Toadies run the [[Item Shop|Item Shops]] in [[Bowser's Warped Orbit]].
===''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''===
[[File:MKSC totem pole.png|frame]]
Toadies make a minor appearance in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' in the course [[GBA Sunset Wilds|Sunset Wilds]], where their likenesses are carved on two totem poles featuring it on the bottom, a [[Snifit]] in the middle, and a [[Shy Guy]] on the top. In the ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' iteration of the course, the totem poles are replaced by more cacti.
{{br|left}}


A group of Toadies appeared in ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', assisting Kamek, yet again.
===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party 5''====
The orb item depicting a Toady in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' is incorrectly labeled as "[[Magikoopa]] Capsule". When a player uses this capsule, the player will swap their capsules with another player's capsules. The player chosen is determined by a roulette.


The groups of red Toadies have not been seen to directly attack anything and can not be attacked themselves by Yoshi. 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.
====''Mario Party 6''====
The orb from ''Mario Party 5'' reappears in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', now correctly named the "[[Toady Orb]]". Using it places a trap on the board that steals an orb from any player who lands on it, giving the orb to the player who set the trap.


==Appearances in Other Media==
====''Mario Party Advance''====
[[Image:ToadiesCN.jpg|thumb|Some Toadies seen in "Mario in Mariozilla".]]
[[File:MPA Kamek Krew Live Dialogue.png|frame|The [[Kamek Krew]]]]
Toadies also appear as Kamek's assistents 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]] in order to transform their master back.
{{quote|Biggety-big ups, yo! You'll help? Whoa...|Toady|Mario Party Advance}}
In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', one of the missions includes [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]] or [[Yoshi]] helping a group of Toadies named the [[Kamek Krew]] find a stage for them to perform at. They live on the second floor of the [[Mushroom Condo]], where they go through their routine between performances. They are spoken with through their leader, himself just called Toady. He constantly speaks in rhyme, with every line being said as if he was rapping. Toady asks the player for help when the group is in need of a gig, which leads into the [[Kamek Krew Live!]] quest. In the quest, Toady explains that the group is in need of a venue for their next show, but they have been unsuccessful in finding one. He asks the player to find a venue for them, pointing them in the direction of the [[desert area]] in the hopes of finding a "stadium". After Toady is visited again once the [[Mushroom Stadium]] is secured as a venue, he thanks the player for their hard work, rewarding them with the [[Bull's-eye]] [[Gaddget]]. According to the end credits, Toady's gig at the Stadium was a huge success.


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.
Toady is also mentioned in the description for the minigame [[Broom Zoom]], although in an inversion to their appearance in ''Mario Party 5'', their name is seemingly used in reference to standard [[Magikoopa]]s.
 
==== ''Mario Party 7'' ====
In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', the Toady Orb returns from ''Mario Party 6'', serving the same function. However, if it is a red or yellow orb, the Toady will set it on a random space on the space owner's behalf, but if the orb is green or blue, the Toady will keep the orb for itself.
 
====''Mario Party 8''====
[[File:MP8 Toady.png|thumb|150px|A Toadie, selling candy to [[Mario]] in ''Mario Party 8''.]]
In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Toadies run the [[Candy Shop]]s in [[Bowser's Warped Orbit]], one of the Toadies drives [[Bowser]]'s convertible which appears when someone lands on a [[Bowser Space]] in [[Koopa's Tycoon Town]], and two of them hold the 7,000 points sign in [[Test for the Best]].
 
====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====
Many Toadies appear in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' in the [[Kamek's Carpet Ride]] board. They can be seen bustling about the library area. They also assist [[Kamek]] in moving characters forward or backward a number of spaces when he uses Kamek Time.
 
====''Super Mario Party''====
In ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', Toadies (now called Magikoopas in the British English version of the game<ref>{{cite|author=BeardBear|date=October 5, 2018|url=youtu.be/-6r3VwQ9-LM?t=677|title=Super Mario Party: Walkthrough Part 4 - Kamek's Tantalizing Tower (4 Players Gameplay)|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 6, 2024}}</ref>{{dead link}}) appear during tutorials holding a scroll which shows images related to the tutorial. They also appear in [[Kamek's Tantalizing Tower]], where they carry players who land on [[Event Space]]s to a different space, and host an item shop. However, the item shop run by Toady in Kamek's Tantalizing Tower forces the player to buy an item, which is limited to the choices of a Dash Mushroom, Poison Mushroom, or Custom Dice Block. In [[Super Mario Party#Challenge Road|Challenge Road]], if the player fails to complete a minigame challenge three times in a row, a Toady will fly down and offer the player a chance to skip the challenge. In this game, they all wear brown shoes instead of being barefoot and have fingered-clawed hands much like Kamek. When speaking to [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] they have special dialogue for them. Instead of calling them by their normal names, a Toady from the [[Shady Shop]] in Kamek's Tantalizing Tower will add "Lord" to the name.
 
====''Super Mario Party Jamboree''====
{{new subject|section=y}}
In ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', a Toady (again referred to as a Magikoopa in the British English version)<ref>{{cite|author=NintenU|date=October 17, 2024|url=youtu.be/FBEIgUHNLtM?t=1636|title=Evolution of - Intros in Mario Party 1998-2024|timestamp=27:16|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=October 18, 2024}}</ref> is transformed into [[Impostor Bowser]] by [[Kamek]] at the start of the game. Toadies are also seen carrying a cage containing a [[Chain Chomp]] in the introduction to the Showdown minigame [[Jr.'s Jauntlet]] and one of the possible challenges in the minigame itself is mashing a button to escape the Toadies grasp before being carried away.
 
===''Yoshi Touch & Go''===
{{multiframe|align=left|[[File:YT&G Solo Toady.png]] [[File:YT&G Purple Toadies.png]]}}
In ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'', green Toadies appear in the primary gameplay, where they make a beeline for Baby Mario or Yoshi to attack. In Time Attack mode, an enormous group of purple Toadies that can each absorb one hit guard Kamek's Toadies, who are twice as strong.
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
Toadies appear as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', using artwork of Kamek's Toadies.

Toadies (singular Toady or sometimes Toadie) are small Magikoopa relatives with propellers on their heads and are normally dressed in red, causing them to also somewhat resemble Fly Guys. The most prominent Toadies are a particular group of four that work for Kamek, though singular Toadies also appear. The word "toady" means "underling" (usually in the context of bullying or otherwise intimidating), and its use does not always refer to Toadies as a species, one such example being Fawful referring to himself as one in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.

History[edit]

Yoshi's Island series[edit]

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit]

Solo Toady from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Green Toady from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Toadies in general debut alongside Kamek's Toadies in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. While Kamek's Toadies kidnap and carry Baby Mario away if Yoshi allows the timer to go down when the baby is off his back, the singular versions, separately localized as Solo Toadies[1] and Green Toadies,[2] have slightly different appearances and behaviors. Solo Toadies have purple skin and wear a dark-pink cloak and pink shoes, and they swoop in and seize the baby immediately after he is dislodged from Yoshi. Green Toadies have pale skin and blue shoes, and attempt to grab Baby Mario while he is still riding Yoshi. Unlike Kamek's Toadies, Solo Toadies and Green Toadies do not fly off immediately but instead hover around with Baby Mario, making it difficult for Yoshi to get him back.

Yoshi's New Island[edit]

A Solo Toady in Yoshi's New Island.

Toadies appear in Yoshi's New Island. Kamek's Toadies look and act the same as before. Solo Toadies also reappear, now depicted as having purple robes and ordinary-colored skin and lacking shoes, though Green Toadies are absent.

Yoshi's Story[edit]

Sprite of a Toady from Yoshi's Story

In Yoshi's Story, four red Toadies resembling Kamek's Toadies carry Yoshis off to Bowser's Castle if they are defeated. However, if the player rescues a White Shy Guy in one of the levels and completes it, he will be able to save one captured Yoshi, essentially making him the equivalent of a 1-Up Mushroom. They also are seen in the ending, where they help out Baby Bowser after he is defeated by one of the newborn Yoshis by carrying him out of the castle in a similar manner to how they carry defeated Yoshis.

Mario Kart: Super Circuit[edit]

Sprite of a totem pole from Mario Kart: Super Circuit

Toadies make a minor appearance in Mario Kart: Super Circuit in the course Sunset Wilds, where their likenesses are carved on two totem poles featuring it on the bottom, a Snifit in the middle, and a Shy Guy on the top. In the Mario Kart Tour iteration of the course, the totem poles are replaced by more cacti.

Mario Party series[edit]

Mario Party 5[edit]

The orb item depicting a Toady in Mario Party 5 is incorrectly labeled as "Magikoopa Capsule". When a player uses this capsule, the player will swap their capsules with another player's capsules. The player chosen is determined by a roulette.

Mario Party 6[edit]

The orb from Mario Party 5 reappears in Mario Party 6, now correctly named the "Toady Orb". Using it places a trap on the board that steals an orb from any player who lands on it, giving the orb to the player who set the trap.

Mario Party Advance[edit]

“Biggety-big ups, yo! You'll help? Whoa...”
Toady, Mario Party Advance

In Mario Party Advance, one of the missions includes Mario, Luigi, Peach or Yoshi helping a group of Toadies named the Kamek Krew find a stage for them to perform at. They live on the second floor of the Mushroom Condo, where they go through their routine between performances. They are spoken with through their leader, himself just called Toady. He constantly speaks in rhyme, with every line being said as if he was rapping. Toady asks the player for help when the group is in need of a gig, which leads into the Kamek Krew Live! quest. In the quest, Toady explains that the group is in need of a venue for their next show, but they have been unsuccessful in finding one. He asks the player to find a venue for them, pointing them in the direction of the desert area in the hopes of finding a "stadium". After Toady is visited again once the Mushroom Stadium is secured as a venue, he thanks the player for their hard work, rewarding them with the Bull's-eye Gaddget. According to the end credits, Toady's gig at the Stadium was a huge success.

Toady is also mentioned in the description for the minigame Broom Zoom, although in an inversion to their appearance in Mario Party 5, their name is seemingly used in reference to standard Magikoopas.

Mario Party 7[edit]

In Mario Party 7, the Toady Orb returns from Mario Party 6, serving the same function. However, if it is a red or yellow orb, the Toady will set it on a random space on the space owner's behalf, but if the orb is green or blue, the Toady will keep the orb for itself.

Mario Party 8[edit]

In Mario Party 8, Toadies run the Candy Shops in Bowser's Warped Orbit, one of the Toadies drives Bowser's convertible which appears when someone lands on a Bowser Space in Koopa's Tycoon Town, and two of them hold the 7,000 points sign in Test for the Best.

Mario Party: Island Tour[edit]

Many Toadies appear in Mario Party: Island Tour in the Kamek's Carpet Ride board. They can be seen bustling about the library area. They also assist Kamek in moving characters forward or backward a number of spaces when he uses Kamek Time.

Super Mario Party[edit]

In Super Mario Party, Toadies (now called Magikoopas in the British English version of the game[3][dead link]) appear during tutorials holding a scroll which shows images related to the tutorial. They also appear in Kamek's Tantalizing Tower, where they carry players who land on Event Spaces to a different space, and host an item shop. However, the item shop run by Toady in Kamek's Tantalizing Tower forces the player to buy an item, which is limited to the choices of a Dash Mushroom, Poison Mushroom, or Custom Dice Block. In Challenge Road, if the player fails to complete a minigame challenge three times in a row, a Toady will fly down and offer the player a chance to skip the challenge. In this game, they all wear brown shoes instead of being barefoot and have fingered-clawed hands much like Kamek. When speaking to Bowser and Bowser Jr. they have special dialogue for them. Instead of calling them by their normal names, a Toady from the Shady Shop in Kamek's Tantalizing Tower will add "Lord" to the name.

Super Mario Party Jamboree[edit]

This section is referring to a subject in an upcoming or recently released game. When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this section may need major rewriting.
This notice should be removed after a month has passed since the game was first released.

In Super Mario Party Jamboree, a Toady (again referred to as a Magikoopa in the British English version)[4] is transformed into Impostor Bowser by Kamek at the start of the game. Toadies are also seen carrying a cage containing a Chain Chomp in the introduction to the Showdown minigame Jr.'s Jauntlet and one of the possible challenges in the minigame itself is mashing a button to escape the Toadies grasp before being carried away.

Yoshi Touch & Go[edit]

In Yoshi Touch & Go, green Toadies appear in the primary gameplay, where they make a beeline for Baby Mario or Yoshi to attack. In Time Attack mode, an enormous group of purple Toadies that can each absorb one hit guard Kamek's Toadies, who are twice as strong.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

Toadies appear as a spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, using artwork of Kamek's Toadies.
