Toadette

*“I hope you can achieve your dreams!”*
—**Toadette**, *Super Mario Odyssey*
**Toadette** is a recurring Toad character in the *Mario* franchise. Originally introduced as a playable racing partner for Toad in *Mario Kart: Double Dash!!*, she has since appeared in other games as a playable character and has played supporting roles in several titles, and as a main character in *Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker*. While she has very similar traits to other characters, she is the most commonly recurring female Toad in the *Mario* franchise. Toadette has been shown to be on good terms with such characters as Princess Peach, Toad, Toadsworth, and Mario. Toadette's defining traits are her bouncing pigtails, cheerful and energetic personality, and occasional bursts of creativity.

## History

### *Mario Kart* series

#### *Mario Kart: Double Dash!!*

Toadette first appears in *Mario Kart: Double Dash!!* as Toad's racing partner and an unlockable character. Both Toad and Toadette can be unlocked by winning the Special Cup in 100cc. Additionally, she has her own personal kart, the Toadette Kart. It can only be unlocked by completing the Mushroom Cup in Mirror Mode. Both characters are lightweights, and their special item is the Golden Mushroom. Her artwork depicts her as having a scarlet dress and maroon vest, though in her in-game model, she has a pink dress and vest.

#### *Mario Kart Arcade GP 2*

While Toadette herself does not make an appearance as a playable racer in the arcade exclusive *Mario Kart Arcade GP 2*, she receives a notable cameo in the race course Yoshi Park 2 where large paper cut out structures of Toadette as well as Toad and Toadsworth (done in the artwork style of the *Yoshi* games) can be seen within the Trick House section of the course.

#### *Mario Kart Wii*

Toadette returns to the *Mario Kart* series as an unlockable character in *Mario Kart Wii*. Toadette becomes playable once the player has raced all thirty-two courses in Time Trials, won 1,000 WFC races, or played 2,550 races. It is stated in the guide for *Mario Kart Wii* that Toadette was excited after getting permission from Peach to race and even stated that she is Toad's sister, though this is unconfirmed. Toadette is a small-sized racer, and she is able to use all the small-sized karts and bikes, each one being recolored white and magenta to match her personal style. Toadette is the only lightweight to have an off-road bonus. She also has a minor speed bonus, which is rivaled by that of Rosalina, Baby Peach, and the player's Mii.

#### *Mario Kart 8* / *Mario Kart 8 Deluxe*

Toadette in *Mario Kart 8*
Toadette appears as an unlockable playable character in *Mario Kart 8*. She is one of the heavier lightweights (she shares this trait with Toad, Koopa Troopa, Shy Guy, Lakitu, Larry, Wendy, and Isabelle), outweighing Lemmy Koopa and the babies, while still being lighter than Peach, Daisy, and Yoshi.

Toadette, along with Rosalina and Wendy, appear on two out of the four 'Women of Racing Organization' posters seen around the track of N64 Royal Raceway.

Toadette is the Normal Staff Ghost for Toad Harbor. She is also the only character from E3 2013 to be locked, making her the only locked character to appear on the loading screen.

*Mario Kart 8 Deluxe* is a remastered port of *Mario Kart 8* for the Nintendo Switch. It returns all characters from *Mario Kart 8*, including Toadette. She is now available from the start, and shares stats with only Wendy and Isabelle. She is also the 200cc Staff Ghost for N64 Toad's Turnpike.

#### *Mario Kart Tour*

Toadette appears in *Mario Kart Tour* as one of the starting playable characters, with the others being Toad and Peachette. However, if Toad or Peachette are the player's starting character instead, Toadette appears as an unlockable Super character; her special item is the Triple Mushrooms. She also has a variant named **Toadette (Explorer)** that uses her design from *Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker*, which appears as the spotlight High-End driver for the second week of the Exploration Tour, alongside the Clackety Kart and Pink Gold Paper Glider. Peachette also appears as a playable character in this game alongside Toadette. The Pink Mushmellow, a kart based on her, appears as a Gold Pass exclusive kart which could be obtained in the Paris Tour. Like all other unique characters, she has her own cup.
