Captain Toad (SSBR)

This article is about Captain Toad's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Riot. For the character in general, see Captain Toad.
Captain Toad (キノピオ隊長, Captain Kinopio) is a recurring character in the Super Mario series, debuting in Super Mario Galaxy. Captain Toad is also known as Toad Brigade Captain, but has been on adventures without the brigade as well. Captain Toad recently received his own game, called Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.
==Attributes==
Captain Toad is a middleweight character despite his small appearance, but that's because of all that equipment. Captain Toad uses his items to attack opponents, such as his Pickaxe, his minecart, his rope and even the Green Stars he has collected. However, Captain Toad has some problems jumping, and for a small character his speed is not that good. He can solve this by emptying it, which gives him a small speed and jumping buff. He has powerful Special Moves but he lacks a bit of KO potential.
Captain Toad has this unique speed and strenght change, when he empties his backpack, he turns faster and his recovery increases considerably, but his power decreases. This speed buff is temporal and lasts just for several seconds, meaning he can't use the emptying move while in this status. Captain Toad's grab game is not very good and his aerial combat is pretty poor. He also has lack of projectiles. However, his abilities are performed very fast, meaning they aren't laggy, and they are very powerful but not up for high KO potential.

===Special Moves===
*Neutral special - Pickaxe Strike: Captain Toad takes out his pickaxe and buries it forwards, dealing good damage but low knockback. Rarely buries an opponent into the ground.
**Custom 1 - Pickaxe Slash: Instead of burying it forwards, Captain Toad does a slash with his pickaxe. Deals higher knockback but less damage.
**Custom 2 - Pickaxe Throw: Captain Toad throws the pickaxe forwards. A quick attack but doesn't deal that much damage or knockback.
*Side special - Minecart: Captain Toad hops into a minecart and is able to drive on it for a short period of time, sending opponents flying as he rams into them.
**Custom 1 - Minecart Slam: Captain Toad hops into the minecart and quickly drives forwards. He can't change direction and lasts for 3 seconds. Deals much more knockback.
**Custom 2 - Crazy Minecart: The minecart spins as Captain Toad drives on it. Slower but causes more damage and collapses when reaching its limit or upon contact with an opponent.
*Up special - Power Star: Captain Toad tosses a Power Star (rarely a Green Star, cosmetic change only) upwards, with his rope tied with it. The star floats in mid-air after traveling for 1,5 seconds, and Captain Toad proceeds to reach the Power Star with his rope to recover. The Power Star does damage, while being tossed or to those that touch it while it's still floating in mid-air.
**Custom 1 - Para-Biddybud: Summons a Para-Biddybud and grabs its feet as it flies and lifts Captain Toad upwards. Direction can be controlled with control stick, but it deals mild damage.
**Custom 2 - Propeller: The propeller helmet appears on Captain Toad's head and propels himself upwards. Pokes enemies on the way and causes a smash attack at the end. Captain Toad also descends slowly and the player can control his direction as he falls.
*Down special - Empty Rucksack: Captain Toad puts his rucksack upside-down to empty it. Small items come from it and bounce sideways doing mild damage to any opponent that is near. After using this move, Captain Toad is considerably faster and can jump higher for better recovery. This buff disappears after a brief period of time, and Captain Toad cannot use this move. This move is restored after the buff ends.
**Custom 1 - Spinning Empty Rucksack: Captain Toad spins the rucksack around to empty it, instead of just putting it upside-down. The bouncing items do more damage and are quicker.
**Custom 2 - Item Throw: Captain Toad quickly takes out the items by himself and throws them around. They bounce higher and last longer but deal less damage.
*Riot Move - Giant Turnip: Captain Toad plucks a gigantic Turnip and slams it onto the victim, sending them flying if not KO'ing them.
*Final Smash - Toad Brigade: Captain Toad summons his friends as they get into the battle with the Starshroom. The Starshroom floats around, dealing damage and knockback. The Toad Brigade hop into the stage as they attack on their own. Yellow Toad sleeps and makes an opponent near him sleep as well. Blue Toad tosses books at opponents dealing mild damage. Green Toad runs around dealing damage with a pickaxe and Purple Toad tosses packages at opponents, dealing good knockback. Meanwhile, Captain Toad can attack normally. After the Final Smash ends, the brigade hops into the Starshroom, they salute and depart from the stage.

*Checks his map and then does a confident pose.
*Loses balance due to the weight of his backpack and trips, then stands up again.

*Captain Toad jumps happily around and then makes a happy pose.
