History[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario Galaxy[edit]
Yellow Toad makes his first appearance inSuper Mario Galaxy and reappears in itsNintendo Switchport as one of the members of theToad Brigade. Out of the group, Yellow Toad seems to be the most careless and lazy Toad in the group, as he is often seen sleeping in the game. He even sleeps in the snow in theFreezeflame Galaxy. At times when he is not asleep, Yellow Toad can be seen as a rather immature character as seen in thePurple Coin challenge inDeep Dark Galaxy, where he is seen dancing under a spotlight while the other Toads stay around the area cautiously.
Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]
Yellow Toad is a character inSuper Mario Galaxy 2 and its Nintendo Switchport. He often appears in different galaxies, either available to help Mario or is just asleep like in the previous game. He is also one of the many characters that can be found on theStarship Mario. He stands near a Warp Pad that leads to the Toad Brigade'sStarshroom.
Super Mario Odyssey[edit]
InSuper Mario Odyssey, Yellow Toad can be seen as an employee of a travelingCrazy Cap store inside the Toad Brigade'sStarshroom alongsideMailtoad, located in theLost Kingdom,Moon Kingdom andMushroom Kingdom; he runs the yellow coin section. He also appears near theOdyssey on theDark Side after the story objectiveArrival at Rabbit Ridge! is complete and says that he andtheotherToads are there on a big expedition. In this game, he retains his exploration outfit and backpack fromCaptain Toad: Treasure Tracker, and also wears asafari hat when on the Dark Side. Largely contrasting his other appearances, he is always fully awake and does not seem to retain his laziness.
Super Mario Maker 2[edit]
Yellow Toad appears in the Story Mode inSuper Mario Maker 2. Unlike the other colored Toads in it, he retains the personality and traits of his counterpart fromSuper Mario Galaxy. During the first part of the story, he remains asleep to the right of the castle, but part of the way through, he will offer Mario a set of three jobs, each of them revolving around completing a level with aStone in hand. With each job completed, Yellow Toad will use the Stone to build an 8-bit sculpture of a differentSuper Mario franchise enemy. Once all three are finished, he tells Mario that he is exhausted and wants to take another nap.
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]
Yellow Toad appears inSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury as a playable character in theCaptain Toad's Adventures levels, when playing as P4. He has the same appearance as inCaptain Toad: Treasure Tracker. He also appears in theBowser's Fury mode, though not before the main story has been completed. Along with the other members of the Toad Brigade, he appears to have been separated from Toadette, who anticipates them onFur Step Island. Mario may find Yellow Toad hidden below the bridge supportingSlipskate Slope, reaching by simply hopping off the bridge, alleviated with the use of aPropeller Box. Finding Yellow Toad rewards Mario with one ofLake Lapcat'sCat Shines. As with his rarer though more recent appearances, he appears alert with no symptoms of grogginess.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker[edit]
Yellow Toad reappears inCaptain Toad: Treasure Tracker. Much like his previous appearances, Yellow Toad is almost always seen sleeping. His sleepiness is seen to be contagious as he is capable of even makingCaptain Toad fall asleep beside him if he stands near him. Much like the other Toad Brigade members in this game, Yellow Toad sports a uniform similar to the Captain and a backpack.
However, there are instances in which Yellow Toad aids the Captain and is seen to be fully awake. Such situations involve certain levels where Yellow Toad and the other Toad Brigade members must follow Captain Toad in order to unlock certain bonuses and tools in order to find the Power Star.
Super Smash Bros. series[edit]
Yellow Toad makes a few cameo appearances in theSuper Smash Bros. series. InSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, Yellow Toad appears in the Toad Brigadetrophy, and he and the other Toads are all depicted using theirSuper Mario Galaxy appearance. InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, Yellow Toad is part of the artwork on the Starship Mariospirit.
