- “Hey, I see that you're small and all, but can I ask you a big favor?”
- —Toadette, Mario Party DS
Toadette is one of the major Toads in the Mario series and its spin-offs. Originally introduced as a playable racing partner for Toad in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, she has since appeared in many other spin-offs as a playable character and has played supporting roles in both Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix.
Much of Toadette's background is undeveloped; however, she has been shown to be on good terms with such characters as Peach, Toadsworth, and even Mario.
Biography
Racing Debut
Toadette first appeared in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! as Toad's racing partner. Both Toad and Toadette need to be unlocked before they become playable characters, and are unlocked by winning the Special Cup at 100cc. Additionally, she has her own personal kart, the Toadette Kart. It can only be unlocked by completing the Mushroom Cup in Mirror Mode, which can only be done after Toadette herself has been unlocked. Both characters are lightweights, and their special item is the Golden Mushroom.
Paper Tutorials
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Toadette appears whenever Mario discovers a Hammer or a new pair of Boots. Toadette hosts a tutorial session with Mario explaining how to use the newfound ability.
Party Girl
Toadette has become a recurring character in the Mario Party series. In Mario Party 6, Toadette can be unlocked by paying the Star Bank thirty Stars. In the sequels, Mario Party 7 and Mario Party 8, she does not need to be unlocked. In Mario Party 7, Toad and Toadette share the same special orb, the Triple 'Shroom Orb, which allows the player to roll two dice blocks for three turns. Though not playable, Toadette makes a minor appearance in Mario Party DS with her own board, Toadette's Music Room. Toadette also appears as a co-host in Mario Party Advance.
Out to the Ball Game
Mario Superstar Baseball was Toadette's first sports appearance. Toadette was a speed character who started out on Peach's team in Challenge Mode. Toadette ties with Yoshi as the fastest character in the game, and she also happens to be the only sub-character with two special abilities: "Sliding Catch" and "Wall Jump". Toadette must be unlocked by playing through Challenge Mode as Peach's team. She also makes another playable appearance in Mario Super Sluggers, where she's avaiable from the start.
Dancing the Night Away
During the events of Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, Toadette opens a hotel by the sea in World 2-1. However, because of the chaos caused by the removal of the Music Keys from Truffle Towers, her hotel becomes twisted like a corkscrew. Mario (or Luigi) arrives and, by the request of Toadette, uses the power of dancing to return her hotel to its original shape.
Returning to Her Roots
Toadette returns to the Mario Kart series as an unlockable character in Mario Kart Wii. Toadette is a lightweight, and is unlocked by completing time trials on all 32 tracks consecutively, or by getting 1000 wins on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Toadette is able to use all of the small sized karts, each one being recolored white and pink to match her personal style. She also has a good off-road bonus, which makes vehicles like the Magikruiser lose less speed than normal when going off-road.
Personality
Toadette is generally happy, bright, and energetic. Toadette is portrayed to be friendly, and enjoys being with others. Toadette has many of the same personality traits as Toad. Toadette can also be rather childish, and easily gets upset, as seen in Paper Mario The Thousand-Year Door. Toadette states that she likes animals, and that she was saddened when Punio stopped visiting the Sewers. Also, if the player changes the time on their GameCube's clock, Lucky, who runs the Rogueport lottery, will mention that the lottery numbers were messed up because someone changed the clock, and that when he told this to Toadette she "cried her little eyes out", showing that at times she can be very emotional. This is also supported when, during the last tutorial session with Mario, Toadette runs off crying knowing she will not see the plumber hero for the rest of his adventure. In Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, it is also proven that she can be quite pushy, forcing Mario and Toad to fix her hotel even though they were in a hurry to find the Music Keys.
Character Description
Toadette is a pink-capped, white-spotted Toad with pink plaits. Like all Toads, she has beady eyes and is very short. Toadette wears a pink dress-shirt with a thin white line going through the bottom of it. She also wears a bright red vest with a light gold trim over her dress. In her earlier appearances, Toadette was depicted as wearing a red dress-shirt and a dark red vest over it. This design was changed in Mario Party 6, in which she was given her current design. Her pigtails had a noticeably darker shade of pink than her mushroom cap in Mario Kart Wii. Her trophy information in Super Smash Bros. Brawl states she is a star among the Toads.
Mario Party DS indicates that she is interested in music and musical instruments (even to the point of going to play in a recital). She stays up late practicing a wide array of instruments ranging from trumpets, to violins, to even a small silver hand bell.
Interactions with Other Characters
Mario
- Main article: Mario
Toadette aided Mario in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, where she taught Mario how to use certain items. whenever Mario used a new item on the first try correctly she blushed. During her last tutorial with Mario, Toadette runs off crying knowing she will not see the him for the rest of the adventure. Toadette also asks for Mario's in help Mario DDR, where she hastily asks for help fixing her hotel, which was ruined by the absence of the Music Keys. Despite this, their chemistry is neutral in spin-offs.
Princess Peach
- Main article: Princess Peach
Toadette has a close relationship with Princess Peach. Evidence of this can be seen in the player chemistry they share in Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers. It is stated in the guide for Mario Kart Wii that Toadette was excited after getting permission from Peach to race, indicating a family-like bond.
This is further supported in Mario Party DS. It is stated that after Peach heard Toadette play an inspiring music piece, she gave her a set of touching trumpets. Peach was touched when she discovered how happy Toadette was to have them. In addition to the trumpets Peach also gave her a table. Toadette currently resides with Peach in her castle.
Toad
- Main article: Toad
As mentioned earlier, much of the background in relation to Toad and Toadette is still unclear at this time. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Toadette was introduced as Toad's partner, which has been continued throughout the current spin-off games. The official guide from Prima for Mario Kart Wii describes the two as being siblings. Their team name in Mario Party 6 indicates that, being the only two playable Toads, are also good friends. Regardless, the two are on good terms, including sharing good chemistry in baseball games. Toad built her a small table which was later given to her by Peach.
Toadsworth
- Main article: Toadsworth
Toadette is of the same species as Toadsworth. The two share good chemistry in various spinoffs. Toadsworth was going to conduct her music recital prior to the events of Mario Party DS. She still keeps his music stand from the would-be recital (which was broken by Hammer Bro.) in her Music Room along with two Mysterious Metronomes that only Toadsworth knows the secrets of.
Hammer Bro.
- Main article: Hammer Bro.
Hammer Bro. caused chaos in Toadette's Music Room during the events of Mario Party DS. He broke many of her instruments (and perhaps even ruined a recital that Toadette would preform in by smashing Toadsworth's music stand). Toadette had to enlist the help of Mario and the gang to get rid of him. In Mario Party 8 their team name was "Smash Success". The two share no chemistry, neither positive or negative, in spinoffs.
