Toadies (singularToady or sometimesToadie and referred to asMagikoopas in certain English localizations) are smallMagikoopa relatives with propellers on their heads and are normally dressed in red, causing them to also somewhat resembleFly Guys. The most prominent Toadies area particular group of four that work forKamek, 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 beingFawful referring to himself as one inMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Additionally, the stageFight Toadies w/ Toadies inYoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, it is used to refer toenemies in general.

Toadies in general debut alongsideKamek's Toadies inSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. While Kamek's Toadies kidnap and carryBaby Mario away if Yoshi allows the timer to go down when the baby is off his back, the singular versions, separately localized asSolo Toadies^[1] andGreen Toadies,^[2] have slightly different appearances and behaviors. Solo Toadies have purple skin and wear a dark-pink cloak and pink shoes, and they may occasionally 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]

Toadies appear inYoshi'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]

InYoshi's Story, four red Toadies resembling Kamek's Toadies carryYoshis off toBowser's Castle if they are defeated. However, if the player rescues aWhite 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 a1-Up Mushroom. They also are seen in the ending, where they help outBaby 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.

Yoshi Touch & Go[edit]

InYoshi 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.

Mario Kart: Super Circuit[edit]

Toadies make a minor appearance inMario Kart: Super Circuit in the courseSunset Wilds, where their likenesses are carved on two totem poles featuring it on the bottom, aSnifit in the middle, and aShy Guy on the top. In theMario 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 inMario 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 fromMario Party 5 reappears inMario 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]

TheKamek Krew

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

—Toady,Mario Party Advance

InMario Party Advance, one of the missions includesMario,Luigi,Peach orYoshi helping a group of Toadies named theKamek Krew find a stage for them to perform at. They live on the second floor of theMushroom 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 theKamek 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 thedesert area in the hopes of finding a "stadium". After Toady is visited again once theMushroom Stadium is secured as a venue, he thanks the player for their hard work, rewarding them with theBull'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 minigameBroom Zoom, although in an inversion to their appearance inMario Party 5, their name is seemingly used in reference to standardMagikoopas.

Mario Party 7[edit]

InMario Party 7, the Toady Orb returns fromMario 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]

InMario Party 8, Toadies run theCandy Shops inBowser's Warped Orbit, one of the Toadies drivesBowser's convertible which appears when someone lands on aBowser Space inKoopa's Tycoon Town, and two of them hold the 7,000 points sign inTest for the Best.

Mario Party: Island Tour[edit]

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

Super Mario Party[edit]

InSuper 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 inKamek's Tantalizing Tower, where they carry players who land onEvent 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. InChallenge 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 toBowser andBowser Jr. they have special dialogue for them. Instead of calling them by their normal names, a Toady from theShady Shop in Kamek's Tantalizing Tower will add "Lord" to the name.

Super Mario Party Jamboree[edit]

InSuper Mario Party Jamboree, a Toady (again referred to as a Magikoopa in the British English version)^[4] is transformed intoImpostor Bowser byKamek at the start of the game. Toadies are also seen carrying a cage containing aChain Chomp in the introduction to the Showdown minigameJr.'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. In addition, a Toady makes an appearance as a selectable reaction from the reactions list.
