'''Toad Houses''' (or '''Toad houses'''), also known as '''Toad's Houses''',<ref>''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' instruction booklet, page 7.</ref> are [[mushroom]]-shaped buildings that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They have since made appearances in more recent games. Toad Houses are usually located across every [[world]] map except for the last world within the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games. Toad Houses always hold either a useful surprise or reward for the player, most frequently power-ups. Within most games, Toad Houses are generally run and hosted by ally characters such as [[Toad]], [[Toadsworth]], and a variety of other [[Toad (species)|Toads]].

There are also three different-colored Toad Houses in the bonus [[World-e]] in ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''. However, instead of containing items in boxes, they have [[minigame]]s that reward random items. To unlock the gates blocking them, one must collect the required number of [[Advance Coin]]s.

In ''[[BS Super Mario Collection]]'', Toad House is a screen with a pink background where the player simply chooses one of the three boxes, which may include [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. They appear in week 2 and 3 installments, which are based on ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

A variant known as 「{{hover|なえのいえ|Nae no ie}}」 (Nae's house) is hosted by Nae Yūki, who narrated the game with live audio. This house appears as a [[Fire Flower]] panel on a world map on all the known installments. Similar to Toad Houses, they are screens with a yellow background. By answering yes to both of Nae's questions, players activate 「{{hover|おばけモード|Obake mōdo}}」 (ghost mode) that allows them to become [[Fire Mario]] as they exit a level but prevents them from participating in rankings.

A giant [[Roulette Block]] alternates between a [[Super Mushroom]], [[Fire Flower]], [[Blue Shell]], and [[Mini Mushroom]].

If a brother has a backup item already and the item chosen has less or equal value to the original backup item, 1,000 [[point]]s are awarded instead.
