While Toad is the name of an individual, it also refers to their entire species. The series also includes other named individual Toads, such as Toadette and Toadsworth. The most prominent trait of the Toads is their large, mushroom-like head.
The Toads typically have assisting roles in the Mario franchise, but are occasionally featured as protagonists. An example includes Yellow Toad and Blue Toad, who were featured as playable characters along with Mario and Luigi in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U. Toad himself returns as one of the playable characters in Super Mario 3D World. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker featured Captain Toad as the main character, and was the first game to have a Toad as the titular character.
