In the film, Toad is shown to be much braver than his fellow Toads, and quickly befriends Mario and joins him alongside Princess Peach, on their quest to save Luigi and to stop Bowser from taking over the Mushroom Kingdom. Toad also got his own spin-off game fairly recently with Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (2014), where gamers solve puzzles with the less athletic, but still determined hero. Though he made a bad first impression on fans when he told players that the princess was in another castle, Toad has become a welcome member of the Mario family, always guiding Mario and the rest of the gang onto the right path and leading his fellow Toadstools of the Mushroom Kingdom.
