    The most interesting thing about Toadette is this weird reoccurring connection she has with Wario
    - In Mario Party 6 their team names are 'Secret Friends' and in Mario Party 8 they're 'Double Agents'
    - Wario is a treasure hunter in the Wario Land series and later we see that Toadette also gets into treasure hunting
    - Both don't believe in workers rights (Toadette being anti-union in Mario Maker 2 and WarioWare employees having to fight for their paychecks)
    It's all probably a coincidence but the fact there's this much evidence makes me believe she has some sort of criminal double life 😂

      Well that's... tenuous.
      But did you know, the ancient Greek (because modern changes it a bit) word for peaces is Dorakinon? And dora-kinon would take the first syllables from Dragon and Kinopio: the two allies of Peach, Yoshi and Toad. Peaches of course are related to persimmons, which are the third variant of Goombas, since goombas, galoombas and goombrats are desgined after shiitakes, chestnuts and persimmons.
      So if you ever wondered, why is a MUSHROOM prncess named PEACH? And why is her mushroom ENEMIES named 'Kuribo', after Japanese for chestnut?
      Well, fungus is well known for invading fruiting trees like chestnut. Bleeding canker may attack a genus called Horse Chestnut, so... grow some HAIR on a horse plant maybe? So there's a TURN into a 'horse hair plant', but not because mushrooms were forced there, but rather THEY parasitized it themselves.

    I know Captain Toad was said to not be “the” toad but honestly I can’t help but see them as the same person. I mean even the evolution of the jacket from blue to red in sunshine can be seen in galaxy which would then lead to an explanation on why blue toad took over. Plus now that the film is basically fusing the characters together I can see Nintendo essentially doing a soft retcon since the confirmation of them being separate characters was only said in a Miiverse post

    My favorite Toad is Toad, the change to blue spots doesn't bother me that much since its done more for him to stand out from Mario, I just wish they'd be consistent about it and stop using generic characters for playable slots. I also think not making Toad and Captain Toad the same character was a missed opportunity to tighten up the Mario continuity a bit. On a side note, I don't find the statement that they originally didn't have a sex in mind for the toads when they first created them to be a confirmation of them being actually genderless, it sounds more to me like Nintendo doesn't care and is undecided one way or another unlike with the Yoshis.
    Also the disappearance of Toadsworth is a travesty considering he was the closest thing Peach had to a father in full on canon. He should've been in the movie.

  • @doctahelghast6306
    @doctahelghast6306 Před 11 měsíci +11

    I think the Mario Movie left even more confusion on Toad and Captain Toad being seperate characters. In the movie, when Toad first appears, he has the Captain Toad theme playing, in addition to him carrying around the backpack most common with Captain Toad. If this is the case, i'd like to think Toad may give the title of captain to another Toad in a future movie to continue going on quests with Mario and the gang. Sort of like an arc for Toad.

    On Blue Toad being called Toad in 3D World: his and Yellow Toad’s names don’t actually have the color in their name. They, and the main Toad, are all named Toad, but since there were two playable Toads in NSMBWii, NSMBU, and NSMBUDX, they had to be differentiated. Due to this, I’ve noticed the NSMBWii community refer to them as Boad and Yoad.

    @20signup Před 11 měsíci +18

    I was really disappointed to find out that Toad and Captain Toad weren't the same character. The first time I ever saw Captain Toad was in 3D World, the same game that had a blue Toad accompanying the main group. So when we later meet a red spotted Toad named Captain Toad I just assumed "Oh, so Toad is just having is own side adventure". Then in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker he's with Toadette, a character whose been partnered with og Toad loads of times, which furthered my belief that they were the same person. So imagine my surprise when I find out that they're completely different people.
    This annoys me because I thought they were expanding on Toad's character and giving him a chance in the spot light. It feels really redundant to have them be separate people and also shows that Nintendo are really bad at trying to differentiate the MAIN Toad.
    I honestly think they should just retcon them into being the same person. It would be an easy segue and only add more layers to Toad. I know that Captain Toad first appeared in Galaxy 1 but that game ended with the universe being reset, so they could just say that from that point Toad got an interest adventuring.

      Ngl I’m with you bro. I hate that Nintendo does weird things with their characters like that.
      Toad is a main character with red spots for years. Captain Toad stars a toad with red spots. *different toad* it just don’t make sense to deliberately make things more difficult than they need to be. Same with the inconsistency with Mario & Donkey Kong/DK Jr
      Or replacing Toadsworth with a random toad, despite Toadsworth being a main character(he was even in the concept art).
      Making the kooplings related then unrelated to Bowser for some reason. Going out of their way to make Waluigi and Wario look similar and hang out all the time only to claim they’re not related.
      Refusing to put Daisy in any games(even the ones that star Luigi) etc etc
      Just weird things like that which raise more questions than answers. It’s not even fun to speculate it’s just disappointing and confusing.

Side note, the Mario franchise has so little lore and contentenuedy that I feel like it would be alright to just ignore what the devs say sometimes and make our own headcanons and assumptions, especially considering how they can retcon themselves at anytime if they feel like it. In my eyes Captain Toad is the Toad because it just makes the most sense to me, and Wario and Waluigi are related because it would just be stupid otherwise. I also always just assumed that Bowser adopted the Koopalings, and that they just aren't blood related. I also ship Toad and Toadette, because why not, I think it's cute.

    Sometime between _Sunshine_ and _Galaxy,_ this Toad has seemingly shown promise enough that Peach and Toadsworth have appointed him *Captain of the Royal Guard,* or something - thus now being named *Captain Toad!*
    While not _the Original, definitive Toad,_ Captain Toad is likely *Nintendo's attempt to create a Marketable Variation of Toad* (just like _Toadette and Toadsworth)_ that wouldn't cause confusion amongst Players when stood alongside the other people of the Mushroom Kingdom. _It was technically a Failure,_ as people *still* got Confused, thinking Captain Toad was meant to be _OG Toad rebooted,_ rather than *a standalone Character.* And while Toadsworth was _somewhat Hit-and-Miss_ wherever he appeared, once Captain Toad got *his distinct Individual Appearance,* he became popular with players enough that _a Minigame_ (then a *Full Game* based on it!) was given to promote him!
    All in all, _Toadsworth and Captain Toad_ are part of Nintendo's Innovations during *the GameCube Era,* where they tried many other Unique Game and Character Designs and _breaking New Ground in Gaming._ The same Time saw games like _Luigi's Mansion_ (and the *Introduction of Professor E. Gadd),* _Mario & Luigi_ *(AlphaDream's* Spiritual Successor to Super Mario RPG/Paper Mario), _Metroid Prime_ (the *first True 3D Metroid* Title) and many Other Titles within _and outside_ the Mario Universe - all with Characters and Gameplay *Brand-New to their respective Series'!*

    To answer some inconsistencies, I think the Toad Brigade is its own cast & crew. Sunshine introduced them, then Galaxy expanded upon them. Pretty sure the group is called the “Toad Brigade” in both games, meaning Red Toad is a seperate character who becomes Captain Toad (which would make sense given the Miiverse post and the fact he evolves from a Toad with a distinct red vest, then red vest and a headlamp, and finally full captain attire).
    We know Blue Toad from the Brigade is seperate from SM3DW Blue Toad because the Brigade one wears glasses and is playable in the Switch port. The Toads in the Brigade look and act a lot younger in Sunshine so my headcannon is after that game he had his first visit to the eye doctor.
    I’m surprised you didn’t talk more about the Brigade as they all have a bit of personality sprinkled in. Blue is always giving hints to the player/Mario, Green was known as Banktoad in Galaxy and fittingly opens a store in the Lost Kingdom in Odyssey, Purple was the mailman then curiously got shafted from the group, and Yellow Toad has consistently been portrayed as sleepy, even in Mario Maker 2. For this reason I doubt he’s the NSMBWii/U Yellow Toad.
    Toad is my favorite and I still learned a few things from this video, but I think there’s a bit more lore under the hood of the Brigade! (though I’m probably just biased)

    • @UltraFG5488
      @UltraFG5488 Před 10 měsíci +1

      I think the Yellow and Blue toads from Mario Sunshine could be both the Toad Brigade members and the NSMB toads. I know you said that NSMB yellow toad probably isn't the Toad Brigade yellow toad because the latter is always sleepy but the sunshine toad doesn't have sleeping problems in sunshine. Maybe Yellow Toad developed sleeping problems after Sunshine and the NSMB games.

    • @__Soya__

    For clarity i'll tell differences of Toad and Captain Toad.
    Toad is a loyal member of the princess, he is shown to help peach prepare cakes or assist in hair make-up, his relation with Kinopio-kun is a friend, with Toadette it can be anything, they did dance together in their freetime they enjoy being together.
    Toad is very cheerful, has a big heart(as in feeling), hard-working, and loyal(same as his friends)
    Captain toad is a treasure hunting adventurer, and in his game trailer a male voice described him as " he is a bit scatterbrained" and "kind of a scaredy-pants" as the person in the trailer said, or a "reluctant hero".

    I think the main toad is the one from SMB2, he's commonly playable in many projects after SMB2 as the only playable toad in spin offs like Mario Kart and Mario Party, and why else would Mario dream about a random Toad unless he knew him personally. My guess on yellow and blue toad is they're friends of the Mario brothers and the princess, because both colored toads occasionally join them on adventures or trips. (NSMB, SM3DW, & LM3.) Captain Toad is just a red vest Toad when he isn't in his gear but again, is a friend.

    I think that Toad didnt have an Identity, Red Spots, Blue Vest, everyone just called him Toad, he worked for Princess Peach, same with his twin brothers and his cousin, Blue Toads, and Yellow Toad. One day Bowser, trying to kidnap Peach, kidnapped Princess Toadette and Toad decided that him and his Brothers and Cousin should save Toadette, one Blue Toad would get knowledge of every kingdom and gave them information on where they have to go, Captain decided that the smartest and safest way to get to the Bowsers castle was to mine there, Yellow Toad and the Other Blue Toad deafeted the enimies they faced in the caves but eventualy they made it to Kameks tower they deafeted Kamek, took his wand, went to Bowsers castle, one Blue Toad, and Yellow Toad deafeted the enimies in Bowsers castle, Toad, used Kameks wand to put Bowser in some lava and save Toadette, quickly, the word spread about all the Toads heroics, but the Blue Toads and Yellow Toad told the media to thank Toad for being the real driving source in the recsue, he got the nickname Captain Toad form his heroics during the adventure. and yes, I think Toadette is the princess of the Toads, One step higher than Toadsworth in terms of Power but One step below Peach in terms of power

    For some reason I always thought the Archivist Toadette in SMO and the Chief in SMM2 were different Toadettes, like there are different Toads. But I guess there isn't really evidence for that either way.
    Also Kinopio-kun has done some interesting things such as an extremely brief let's play of Undertale, and a recording of him singing "Jump Up, Super Star!"

    The Citeleview is such a lost relic that can never truly be re-lived. Even if the games that got made for have been released and patched for SNES emulators, the full experience with the narration and voice acting and such can't be experienced, since said content only existed through the satellite broadcasts.
    If only Nintendo knew how much people were interested in it, and then MAYBE released restored versions with the satellite content for the games on virtual console, WITHOUT a need for a live broadcast.
