Broke: Birdo is Birdetta's deadname (makes it seem like Mario and co. Have been deadnaming their friend for 30+ years which they would never do and is out of character for all of them)

WOKE: Her full preferred name is Birdetta, however she prefers to go by the shortened versions, Birdo and sometimes Birdie

Name: Toad

Debut: Super Mario Bros. 2

Sit your ass down and listen the fuck up. We need to talk about the most badass motherfucker in the Mushroom Kingdom. We need to talk about

mother

fucking

Toad.

I can already hear you with your “but toad was in the first game he says your princess is in another castle” NO he fucking isn’t. These are just Toads, not THE Toad, and you will put respect on his name. I don’t give a shit if it’s confusing that he shares his name with his entire species. It’s raw as hell. It’s him just declaring himself the best out of his entire species, and they all go along with it, because he’s fucking Toad, understand? Good.

Super Mario Bros. 2 is where Toad made his REAL debut, and immediately made it clear what’s what around here. Not only is he the fastest, leaving those other assholes in the dust, he’s the STRONGEST. This little shit is pure POWER. He’s also all blue in this game, just to prove that he can do whatever he wants, it’s not going to change the fact that he’s fucking TOAD.

Mario Kart wouldn’t be shit if Toad wasn’t in every goddamn installment, and they know it. TOAD knows it. In Mario Kart 64, he is not only voiced by the legendary Isaac Marshall, but he’s known for proclaiming “I’m the best!”, because of course he would. Anyone else saying this would sound like a fucking asshole, but when Toad says it, it’s a fact. Are you going to argue against that? He has his own fucking turnpike. But that’s nothing compared to some other tracks.

You KNOW Mario Kart 7 is not fucking around when the first track it throws at you is TOAD CIRCUIT. That’s right, not Mario Circuit or Luigi Circuit. Toad Fucking Circuit. This track’s layout is deceptively simple, but then you see the massive Toad balloons all over the place, and holy fucking shit this is badass as hell. No other starting circuit comes close.

Then they brought it back for the Booster Course Pass and oh my fucking god. Toad Circuit, in HD. They went out of their way to model the goddamn HANDS on the Toad balloons this time. They did NOT need to go this hard, but they did, and you just know fucking Toad himself must have pulled some strings with the higher-ups to make his course really stand out compared to the others from the wave, which frankly look like shit.

What more do you really need me to say about Toad? The fucking body horror implications of his attack in Smash, where he sprays spores as a counter? Imagine inhaling that and having thousands of little Toads growing in your fucking LUNGS. Jesus Christ.

I’ll just leave you with the fact that Toad has become more popular than ACTUAL TOADS. Holy shit.

[C] 'Greg Martin' Style: Super Mario Bros 2 (1988) by Mast3r-Rainb0w

A commission made via DeviantArt. Here I was tasked to mimic the artstyle of the LATE video game artist Greg Martin (1956-2013), for the all-time classic 1988 NES game Super Mario Bros. 2! I hope I have paid tribute to Mr. Martin’s legacy with this fanart mock-up here! Enjoy!

Birdo is a transgender icon that deserves way more love then she normally gets!

Officially licensed 1989 Super Mario Bros. 2 greeting cards that depict Wart as (at least partially) friendly, directly at odds with his characterization in the game, where he is depicted as a purely malevolent entity.

Interestingly, in 1993, Wart would return in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (under his original Japanese name, Mamu, but officially recognized as the same character) and actually be friendly there, making these cards inadvertently appear prescient of the future of the character.
