“Toad houses. Ah, the simple life.”

—Kersti,Paper Mario: Sticker Star

AToad House (alternativelyToad house), also known as aToad's House^[1] (alternativelyToad's house)^[2][3] orMushroom House,^[1] is a type ofmushroom-shaped building that first appears inSuper Mario Bros. 3. Toad Houses are usually located across everyworld map except for the last world within games of theSuper Mario series. Toad Houses always hold either a useful surprise or a reward for the player, most frequently power-ups. Within most games, Toad Houses are generally run and hosted by ally characters such asToad,Toadsworth, and a variety of otherToads.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Bros. 3 /Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

The Toad's House interior, from the NES (left), SNES (middle), and GBA (right) versions

Every world inSuper Mario Bros. 3 has a Toad's House exceptDark Land. When the player character enters a Toad's House inSuper Mario Bros. 3, he is greeted by Toad and can open one of threetreasure boxes, each having a random item.^[4] Some Toad's Houses have only one item, typically one that is more advantageous. After choosing a box, the player leaves the Toad's House and cannot re-enter, although Toad's Houses become permanently accessible inSuper Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 after totalcompletion.

InWorld 1-3, if the player holds on theWhite Block near the end,Mario orLuigi falls behind the level scenery and can continue behind the black background at the end to get aMagic Whistle from a secret Toad's House.

The Toad's Houses are either red or yellow, with differences, but the Toad's Houses in World 2 and World 3 (except the last one) ofSuper Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 are mostly red.

White Mushroom House[edit]

AWhite Mushroom House,^[5][6][7] also known as aWhite House,^[8] appears after the player collects a certain number ofcoins in a specific level. The White Mushroom House has a single box with aP-Wing in odd-numbered worlds, or anAnchor in even-numbered worlds. White Mushroom Houses are colored blue inreissues, but their name was not updated to reflect this. InSuper Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, after the player clears the game, aMushroom Coin showing the number of coins needed to reveal the White Mushroom House is at the start of the following stages:

World-e[edit]

Three differently colored Toad's Houses appear inWorld-e ofSuper Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, each hosting aminigame, and the gates blocking the entrance to them can be opened only by collecting at least a certain number ofAdvance Coins. In original North American releases, a maximum of only 49 Advance Coins could be collected, so only the first minigame was unlockable, while no Advance Coins appear in otherWestern releases. With every level available in theVirtual Console andNintendo Switch Online ports, all three minigames can be played in any regional release.

BS Super Mario Collection[edit]

Toad's House inBS Super Mario Collection

InBS Super Mario Collection, Toad's House is a screen with a pink background where the player simply chooses one of the three boxes, which may include1-Up Mushrooms. They appear in week 2 and 3 installments, which are based onSuper Mario Bros. 3.

A variant known as 「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 aFire Flower panel on a world map on all the known installments. Similar to Toad's Houses, they are screens with a yellow background. By answering yes to both of Nae's questions, players activate 「おばけモードObake mōdo」 (ghost mode) that allows them to becomeFire Mario as they exit a level but prevents them from participating in rankings.

New Super Mario Bros.[edit]

Toad Houses reappear inNew Super Mario Bros. on the world map, often requiringStar Coins to open (or completing a bonus, lettered level). Toad Houses (except the Blue Toad House) disappear after one use. However, if the Mario Bros. can complete all 80 levels in the game, all Toad Houses will reappear and become permanent (marked by a blue circle on the world map), providing up to 99 lives and infinite items to help find all the Star Coins. Manned byToadsworth, the Toad Houses supply all the helpful items in the game in four different varieties.

Red Toad House[edit]

Red Toad Houses (orred Toad houses)^[9] are capped by red mushrooms on the world map. A giantRoulette Block alternates between aSuper Mushroom,Fire Flower,Blue Shell, andMini Mushroom. Whatever is displayed whenMario orLuigi bumps it from below is what will be kept as theStored Item. If the player character has a backup item already and the item chosen has less or equal value to the original backup item, 1,000points are awarded instead.

Green Toad House[edit]

Green Toad Houses (orgreen Toad houses)^[9] are capped by green mushrooms. Six? Blocks are spread out. Three contain a1-Up Mushroom card. One contains a 1-Up Mushroom ×3 card, which is equal to three 1-Ups. One contains a ×2 card. One contains aBowser card. The ×2 card doubles all cards already revealed, and the Bowser card ends the minigame (though Mario keeps any 1-Ups revealed). Up to twelve 1-Ups can be won, and if Mario hits the ? Block with a Bowser card right away, no extra lives are awarded.

Orange Toad House[edit]

Orange Toad Houses (ororange Toad houses)^[9] are Toad Houses that look likeMega Mushrooms. When Mario or Luigi enters an Orange Toad House, Toadsworth creates aMega ? Block. When the block is hit, a Mega Mushroom is stored; it overrides any item in the item slot. Like with other houses featured inNew Super Mario Bros., Mario usually has to pay five Star Coins to pass thesignpost leading to the Orange Toad House. These Toad Houses are featured in every world ofNew Super Mario Bros.

Blue Toad House[edit]

ABlue Toad House (orblue Toad house)^[10] is found at the beginning ofWorld 1 connected toWorld 1-1 after the player beats the game. Inside it, there are blocks with different designs on them. These are the different backgrounds the player can select for theirNintendo DS's touchscreens, and they cost 20 Star Coins each. After Mario or Luigi opens all the Star Coin Signs in the game, a fifth background can be chosen.

Extra Toad Houses[edit]

By ending the level with the last two numbers of thetime limit being the same (except 00), three things are triggered: TheSuper Mario Bros. "Course Clear" theme plays instead of the normal one,fireworks go off (one for ending in 11, two for ending in 22, and so on, awarding 4,000 points per explosion for a maximum of 36,000), and an extra Toad House appears at the starting point where Mario first enters the world. Time limits ending in 11, 22, and 33 yield a Red Toad House that awards items; 44, 55, and 66 yield a Green Toad House for an extra life minigame; and 77, 88, and 99 yield an Orange Toad House for a Mega Mushroom reward. None of these houses are permanent, even after the player completes all of the levels in the game.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

Icons for the three different Toad Houses

Toad Houses reappear inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii. Unlike the firstNew Super Mario Bros., this game does not require Mario to collect Star Coins to open Toad Houses. Instead, the player automatically unlocks them when certain levels are completed. Also, a Toad House will appear at the start of the world if fireworks are triggered, like in the predecessor. In single-player mode, this is accomplished by rescuing aToad. In multiplayer, all players must reach thepole when the last two digits of the remaining time are the same. In both modes, the last digit of the remaining time tells how many fireworks are set off, and each one adds 4,000 points to the player's game score. After using a Toad House, the players get a tip reminding them to use items on a tough course in Red Toad Houses or to visitPeach's Castle to watchhint movies in Green Toad Houses. There are three colors of Toad Houses: red, green, and yellow. If Mario gets a Red Toad House, he will playPower-up Panels. If he gets a Green Toad House, he will play1-up Blast. If he gets a Yellow Toad House, he will get aSuper Star as a reward in thechest. All Toad Houses become permanent in this game, as well, when the player's save file contains five stars.

Red Toad House[edit]

In Red Toad Houses, Power-up Panels is played by matching two items. If twoBowser orBowser Jr. icons are matched, the game ends and Mario keeps the items earned from the game.

Green Toad House[edit]

In Green Toad Houses, 1-up Blast is played by hopping into acannon and pressing to shoot out and pop balloons to earn extra lives.

Yellow Toad House[edit]

Yellow Toad Houses contain one Super Star in a chest, and they are much rarer than the other Toad Houses. These houses have white roofs with multiple stars around the houses.

Extra Toad Houses[edit]

Like inNew Super Mario Bros., Toad Houses can appear at the starting points of worlds by using the same strategy. In multiplayer mode, the strategy is exactly the same, but since there are no Orange Toad Houses, Yellow Toad Houses appear when the time limit's last two digits show 77, 88, or 99, and the times for the Red Toad House and Green Toad House are flipped. In single-player mode, the strategy is slightly different. Instead of finishing the stage with the last two digits of the time limit being the same, if Mario or Luigi saves the Toad in the level and takes him to the end, only the last digit counts (e.g., 1, 2, and 3 make a Green Toad House appear instead of 11, 22, and 33). Once again, these Toad Houses are not permanent.

Super Mario 3D Land[edit]

The inside of a Red Toad House inSuper Mario 3D Land

Toad Houses make a reappearance inSuper Mario 3D Land, where they are manned by Toad himself, a Blue Toad, or a Yellow Toad (these are Tanooki Toads in the Special Worlds). Unlike in previous games, Mario can explore a Toad House's surroundings before entering the building itself. Red Toad Houses provide Mario with power-ups that will be able to help him on his journey. If Mario or Luigi opens thegift without collecting its power-up, the Toad House will still disappear upon him exiting.

The Toad Houses also allow players to access gifts that they receive via StreetPass, known asStreetPass Gifts. The number of power-ups that Mario can receive from StreetPass Gifts depends on how many times the player has encountered the sameMii with StreetPass. A maximum of five power-ups can be received at the same time, from amongSuper Mushrooms,Fire Flowers,Super Leaves,Boomerang Flowers, andStatue Leaves.^{[11][dead link]} Without StreetPass, only Super Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, Boomerang Flowers, and Super Leaves can be received.

Toad House interiors also appear upon the player continuing after aGame Over, usually with a Super Leaf or, less commonly, a Fire Flower; these provide basic gameplay tips. Game Overs also restore all Toad Houses on the world maps.

A single Blue Toad House, run by Blue Toads, is found inWorld 3, where players can see an album of the photos they have received (12 in total).

New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

A Red Toad House's interior inNew Super Mario Bros. 2

Red Toad Houses, Green Toad Houses, and Yellow Toad Houses return inNew Super Mario Bros. 2. Like in the originalNew Super Mario Bros., some of them require Star Coins to access, while others are unlocked either automatically or by secret exits in other levels, like inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii. Completing all levels in the game, includingWorld Star (withoutWhite Raccoon Mario), makes the Toad Houses stay permanently on the map, providing the player with endless items, includingGold Flowers andSuper Stars. Unlike in the previous two games, Toad Houses cannot be summoned by fireworks, as that feature is replaced byRainbow Courses.

Red Toad House[edit]

Red Toad Houses are run by Toad again, and Mario and/or Luigi may select one of the power-ups provided by Toad as an inventory item, if it is empty (should be chosen first), and another as the current power-up. The player can choose not to include an inventory item too. In the first Toad House, Toad provides aSuper Mushroom and twoFire Flowers. After that, Toad Houses provide the same three items: a Fire Flower, aSuper Leaf, or aMini Mushroom.

Green Toad House[edit]

A Green Toad House inNew Super Mario Bros. 2

Mario/Luigi plays a simple minigame in this house. He needs to hit a glove from below to knock1-Up Mushrooms that Toad throws in the beginning to an above platform down to him so he can collect them to earn extra lives. It is possible to miss the 1-Ups that come down, wasting them.

Yellow Toad House[edit]

Yellow Toad Houses function in a similar way as they did inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii. In all of these houses, though, Mario gets a Gold Flower from Toad this time around instead of a Super Star. However, a single Yellow Toad House in World Star that can be unlocked by getting all Star Coins in the game gives Mario a Super Star to use in his item reserve.

New Super Mario Bros. U /New Super Luigi U /New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

Mario inside a Red Toad House inNew Super Mario Bros. U

Red and Green Toad Houses reappear inNew Super Mario Bros. U,New Super Luigi U, andNew Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. Additionally, there is also a Purple Toad House betweenAcorn Plains andSparkling Waters. No Toad Houses appear if the player gets double digits on the timer at the end of a course; rather, a Toad appears behind the end-of-level fortress and gives the player an item. A Red Toad House can be seen in the background during the game's credits; later,Nabbit is seen robbing the Toad House.

Red Toad House[edit]

There are two Red Toad Houses: one involving hitting the right? Block for the items, and another that involvesBaby Yoshis. In the first one, there are three, four, or fiveFlying ? Blocks. One has an icon of a Super Star, another has a Super Mushroom, and the rest haveBowser'semblem on top. They then disappear into the ? Blocks, and the blocks fly around the Toad House, swapping positions. When they stop moving, the player has to hit the ? Blocks, and they get whatever power-ups are inside the blocks. If the player hits the ? Block with the Bowser emblem, the game ends, but they get to keep whatever power-ups they earned before hitting that block.

In the latter, Baby Yoshis swallow icons that give the player a chance to win or lose the minigame.Balloon Baby Yoshis have the item icons that determine what power-up the player will get,Bubble Baby Yoshis hold multiplier icons that determine how many power-ups the player will get, andGlowing Baby Yoshis hold a Toad icon or a Bowser icon. The former allows the player to get the power-up, and the latter automatically marks as a loss. The player must fit the Baby Yoshis in their respective color spots.

Green Toad House[edit]

On both sides of the Toad House arecannons, which shoot out 1-Up balloons,coins, and Bowser balloons. The player(s) must collect more 1-Up balloons than Bowser balloons and coins to gather up lives. Collecting the Bowser balloons decreases the number of 1-Ups the player(s) get(s) in total (except those technically earned from coins). The game is over when the timer runs out.

Purple Toad House[edit]

There is a single Purple Toad House situated onSecret Island, and it can be reached via aPipe Cannon only after the game is completed. The Toad House contains various records, such as how many coins players have collected and how manyBoost Blocks were placed. Since the musical motif is reused from the "Catch Nabbit!" fanfare, the house likely belongs to Nabbit.

Super Mario 3D World[edit]

Mario inside a Toad House inSuper Mario 3D World

Toad Houses also appear inSuper Mario 3D World. They work like the houses inSuper Mario Bros. 3, but they contain twopresents (big and small) instead of three. When a player opens one of the boxes, the other one disappears, and there is a 75 percent chance that the chosen box contains four power-ups and a 25 percent chance that it contains only oneSuper Mushroom. Each world's Toad Houses are hosted by Toads of different colors. Yellow Toads host houses inWorld 1 andWorld 2, Green Toads inWorld 3 andWorld 4, and Purple Toads in the rest of the worlds with the exception of the special worlds (World Star,World Mushroom,World Flower, andWorld Crown). Some Toad Houses are hidden in bushes, pipes, or buildings in the worlds. They reappear if the player gets aGame Over or beatsThe Great Tower of Bowser Land.

Super Mario Run[edit]

InSuper Mario Run, Toad Houses were initially in theMushroom Kingdom, before Bowser destroyed everything. Toad Houses arebuildings that can be purchased from the Shop, then placed as in the Mushroom Kingdom in the Kingdom Builder mode. They can be in all five of the Toad colors in the game: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Purple. They also come in one of three variations.

• [Color] Toad House: A Toad House that most directly resembles prior depictions, being a single building of the specified color shaped like a mushroom. [Color] Toad Houses fit in a 1×1 area.
• Posh [Color] Toad House: A Toad House with a "cap" that is taller than a normal Toad House. The cap has an additional window. Posh [Color] Toad Houses are within a fenced area with a garden containing another mushroom. A stump below the mushroom makes it appear to be a small building. A Posh [Color] Toad House fits in a 1×2 area.
• Classy [Color] Toad House: A Toad House that is larger than a normal Toad House. The body has two windows, and there is a second level with another mushroom that has its own window. There is a second large mushroom on their left, which is also a building with a window. They are surrounded by a fence, with a path to the house. The garden contains two mushrooms that are not buildings. A Classy [Color] Toad House fits in a 2×2 area.

The descriptions for these items indicate that Toads generally live in houses that match their colors. Houses are noted as being "perfect" for Toads of a specific color a number of times, with the Classy [Color] Toad Houses saying they were "designed exclusively" for Toads of their color.

There are also three special Toad Houses that can be placed in the Kingdom Builder, named [Color] Bonus Game Houses. These appear similar to Yellow Toad Houses from prior games, as their caps have star markings that use the specified color while the cap itself is a light yellow. If the player taps one, they can play a bonus game for that house. They can be played only as Mario. Each one is timed, and once time runs out, the game ends. After being played, the house shrinks and the bonus game cannot be played. Tapping on one displays a timer until the game is playable again, and the timer counts down in real time. As special buildings, only one of each can ever be obtained.

• Red Bonus Game House: The minigame has Mario walk forward and choose one of twoWarp Doors, separated solid terrain. The higher door leads to a higher area, while the lower door leads to a lower area, but only one has a large box of coins to collect. They are separated bybridges that are too high to jump up. Next, Mario must choose between four Warp Doors, separated by additional bridges that let him jump up to higher doors. However, as Mario cannot fall through bridges, taking the top Warp Door earlier prevents him from using the bottom two doors. Once through, Mario ends in an area of the same height as the door he entered. One area has three rows of coins, another has two rows of coins, and the last two have only one coin. All four rows have atreasure chest at the end. Once Mario reaches the end, all chests open to revealRally Tickets, but Mario receives the tickets only from the chest he walked into. All but one chest have one Rally Ticket; the last one has three Rally Tickets. There is a 90-second timer, though since Mario moves automatically, it does not elapse unless the player stalls bywall-jumping. This game takes place in aGhost House interior, rather than a Toad House interior. It takes four hours for a Red Bonus Game House to open again.
• Blue Bonus Game House: The minigame is based on thebonus game fromSuper Mario World. Mario is standing below a set of nine blocks in a three-by-three grid; the outer blocks revolve around the center one clockwise. Each outer block's icon changes between a single coin, three coins, and Rally Tickets, while the inner block displays only three coins. Mario has 99 seconds to hit each spinning block to make the icon stop. Once all blocks are hit, the blocks stop moving and Mario is rewarded based on the number of lines of each icon he made. Coin icons are worth 500 coins per line, three-coin icons are worth 1,000 coins per line, and Rally Ticket icons are worth three Rally Tickets per line. It takes six hours for a Blue Bonus Game House to open again.
• Yellow Bonus Game House: The minigame is based on the Battle Mode stage fromSuper Mario Bros. 3. It features a green pipe shooting out coins, Rally Tickets, and fireballs. Mario is freely allowed to move around, changing directions at walls as though he is in aTower. Coins, including the occasionalPink Coin, spill onto the ground and quickly disappear. Rally Tickets flutter downward, and fireballs fall off the screen in an arc. Mario has 30 seconds to collect as many items as he can while avoiding the fireballs, which end the game instantly. It takes eight hours for a Yellow Bonus Game House to open again.

The Bonus Game and Super Bonus Game of the Remix 10 mode take place in a Toad House interior. The background gets dimmer each time Mario hits the special ? Block. The background of the Super Bonus Game starts dimmer than normal.

Toadette's House, a special building in Kingdom Builder that unlocksToadette as a playable character, appears to be a Toadette version of a Toad House. It has her colors and pigtails. The chimney is brown and square instead of gray and circular, and the cap has an open window. The other playable characters' houses have the stump as a base that Toad Houses use.

The Shop in Kingdom Builder mode has an interior similar to a Toad House.

Super Mario Maker 2[edit]

InSuper Mario Maker 2 versions 3.0.0 and later, three different types of green Toad Houses can be placed on a world map in theWorld Maker mode. Each type of Toad House has its own minigame that can be played to earn extra lives, and the different minigames are distinguished by the icon on their roof in the editor: The three minigames—Catch & Win!,Match & Win!, andPop & Win!—are represented by abaseball, aSuper Star, and aPower Balloon pump, respectively. However, when the player is on the world map, these icons are not visible and all of the types of Toad Houses appear identical, meaning that the player cannot determine which of the minigames is contained inside until they enter the Toad House. After the player plays a minigame, the Toad House disappears.

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Toad's house as seen onThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3

OnThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, Toad Houses are shown to be the actual residences of theMushroom People living in the Mushroom Kingdom.Toad's house in particular is a frequently used location during the course of the series. In addition to the houses, most commercial buildings are shaped like Mushrooms, such as theMushroom Land Central Library and theMushroom Kingdom Orphanage.

Yoshi's Island series[edit]

InSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Mario's parents' house, seen at the end of the credits, closely resembles a Toad House. InYoshi's New Island, the same Toad House is shown in the introduction, and a Toad House that more closely resembles its modern design (Mario and Luigi's actual parents' house) is shown in the closing scene.

Paper Mario series[edit]

Mario Party series[edit]

Mario Party 9[edit]

Toad Houses appear inMario Party 9. They can be accessed only by landing on aLucky Space. They are run byYellow Toad, and they give the player the items on the back of the cards they turn over. There are always four cards, and one card always contains nothing on it. Before the player gets to turn over the cards, the cards are shuffled, making what the player wins random.

The player can win any of these items:

• 1-2-3 Dice Block
• 0-1 Dice Block
• 4-5-6 Dice Block
• Slow Dice Block
• ThreeMini Stars

The item all depends on the two cards the player turns over.

The Toad Houses also appear in severalminigames, such asGoomba Village,Goomba Bowling, andToad and Go Seek.

Mario Party 10[edit]

Toad Houses reappear inMario Party 10, appearing only in Mario Party mode. When a player passes by a Toad House, all of the players enter the Toad House to obtain Special Dice Blocks. Additionally, the current captain's roulette cycles more slowly, and they have the option to discard one of their Special Dice Blocks if they already have two, unlike the other players, who cannot obtain another Special Dice Block if they already have two. Toad Houses also appear as background elements on theToad Board.

Mario Golf: World Tour[edit]

InMario Golf: World Tour, Toad Houses appear in theToad Highlands downloadable course as objects that may be hit.

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition[edit]

Toad Houses appear inPuzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition, where the player can make their teammates stronger or enhance their Skills using the six spots inside. Toad Houses appear at the start of each world, but the player can also access one from the Select World menu.

Edit Team[edit]

Hosted by a green Toad, Edit Team allows the player to create and edit up to six teams of allies before entering a course.

Power Up[edit]

Hosted by a red Toad, Power Up allows the player to raise theXP of an ally enough to level up by depowering other allies for their XP. Depowering allies removes them from the player's Ally Box, and up to five allies can be depowered at a time. Teammates getting an ally's XP will receive 50% more if their attributes match.Coin Coffers and King Coin Coffers provide a significant power-up for teammates using this method.

Aside from experience points, an ally being powered up may sometimes receive additional stats in the form of stars next to their current stats called pluses from depowered allies. For a listing of which allies provide which type of plus for allies being powered up, seeList of plus bonuses in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition.
