Toad (, Kinopio?) is a fictional humanoid mushroom in the Mario series that was created by Shigeru Miyamoto. A citizen of the Mushroom Kingdom, Toad is one of Princess Peach's most loyal servants and is constantly working on her behalf. Toad is usually seen as a NPC who provides assistance to Mario and his friends.

However, there are times when Toad takes center stage and appears as a hero as seen in Super Mario Bros. 2 and Wario's Woods. Toad's original role as a helper has been increasingly taken over by Toadsworth causing Toad to appear less frequently than he once had in the main series.

In the upcoming game New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Toad appears as a main character being the 3rd and 4th player characters along with Mario and Luigi. Toad bears a similar appearance to the rest of his species with his large mushroom cap and clothes.

He is extremely small, and has no legs visible, just his shoes show. Unlike other Toads, he features red polka dots on his mushroom head and wears a blue vest with a yellow outline on it. However his coloration will change if he gets a fire flower as his cap's colors will get reverted while his clothes turn red.
