Toad

Learn how to leverage Toad's incredible speed and overcome his low jump in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. Discover tips to master this unique character!

Hey there! So, you're curious about playing as Toad in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury? Awesome choice! Toad's been around since the very beginning of the Mario games, but in this one, he's got some seriously cool, and sometimes tricky, abilities that can totally change how you play.

You might notice a Blue Toad in the game, but don't get confused – this isn't the same Blue Toad from New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The Toad you can play as here is the main guy, Peach's loyal attendant, and the same one who was playable in Super Mario Bros. 2. He's got a bit of a different vibe than the usual red-capped Toads you see running around.

Now, let's talk about what makes Toad really stand out: he's the absolute fastest character on the entire roster! Seriously, this guy can zip through levels like nobody's business. If you're facing a level with a super tight time limit, picking Toad is your best bet to finish it quickly. He's all about speed, speed, speed!

But, every hero has their kryptonite, right? For Toad, it's his jump. He has the shortest jump in the game, which can be a real bummer when you need to reach those higher platforms. On top of that, when he's in the air, he falls faster than anyone else. So, while he's a speed demon on the ground, you'll need to be extra careful with your aerial maneuvers and plan your jumps very precisely.
