    What is up with Toads? It's been a while since we talked about our favorite... people? Mushrooms? Screaming song meme generators? I think that means they deserve a deep dive into what EXACTLY is a Toad and how they do whatever it is Toads do. Theorists, let's go!

    I loved this theory, although there was something overlooked! In the "New Super Mario Bros." games, when a Toad is damaged, their spots reverse. For example, a standard Toad's head is white with red spots, but when damaged, or "small", their head changes to red with white spots. The end result is a Toad looking much like a Super Mushroom!

    as a mushroom nerd, the bleeding tooth fungus was my first choice for toad, because, as you mentioned, red w/ white spots and white w/ red spots is a very important distinction when speaking about mushrooms. I assumed the twist was going to be that toad and toadette aren't the same species, given that toadette is (colour) with white spots and toad is whit with (Colour) spots. they're incompatible, they're different mushrooms. lowkey disappointed this wasn't mentioned. :/

      @tarrenp4021 Před 2 lety +158

      I think he emphasized the bleeding tooth fungus as this was the original design for toad(s) and was hoping to find property basics for the species, rather than assert that every toad, despite being identical in almost any way, is completely different. Red toads are shown to have children with blue toads in canon, etc, so this may be the reason he didn't go down that route.

      He kind of mentions it, but it makes sense that the different colorations could have evolved to help differentiate the different breeding types so toads could easily tell who they could mate with, and doesnt necessarily mean that the mushroom they evolved from was anything other than white and red, the most prevalent coloration.

    And to add on to that, Toads don't always stay as one color. In Paper Mario: The Origami King, somewhere along Picnic Road (IIRC), there is a pile of leaves where you can find a Toad. If you talk to him, he would complain that because he was in the leaves for too long, his colors changes. This means, if color (and, as some others have pointed out, patterns) denote a mating type, it means Toads are VERY type-fluid. Now I'm sure it was played up for laughs but that could show more aspects of Mushroom Kingdom society.

  • @chocmilk
    @chocmilk Před 2 lety +26

    Something I'd like to point out: specifically about Toads and their names. Generally, generic Toads are given names based on their color.(ex: Blue/yellow Toad). But there is only one toad named Toad(usually called the most dedicated servant of Peach, especially after Toadsworth's disappearance).
    He has a white head, red spots, and a blue jacket: a classic toad look, but sometimes toads prefer jackets the same color as their head. It's specified many times, although I wouldn't be surprised if it were ignored several times(for example, all of the toads in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon are called Toad until you meet them).
    Similarly, we generally only see one Toadette. Same with Captain Toad(who I suspect is the same person as Toad) and Toadsworth. I think Toadette is simply another toad who has a specific style: a main character among toads, if you will.
    Also, I've never delved into the original Mario lore, but from the evidence Matpat showed in the video, there are only nine "Mushroom Retainers." Probably just the world development just invalidating previous lore, but it makes sense to me.

    • @DaNintendude
      @DaNintendude Před 2 lety +4

      Captain Toad is a different Toad than the main Toad.
      As we see in the Galaxy games, Captain Toad is a red-vested Toad. And his personality is fairly different than the main Toad as well.
      Captain/Explorer Toadette is the main Toadette, and this is backed up by references in other games. But Captain Toad himself is a different Toad than Toad.
      Another interesting thing is that Toads can possibly change their cap color. The Toad you can play as in Super Mario 3D World isn't Blue Toad from the NSMB series, he's just the main Toad with blue spots. I believe we see a Toad in a modern Paper Mario game claim that his cap color changed as well. And it's possibly based on where they live.
