So you're being immature. Look, there's a better way to phrase your disappointment than say "I wish they'd stop making something I personally dislike".

It's not immature to want something you used to really like to end because you think it's gotten significantly worse. It tarnishes a legacy.

Like how Simpsons should have ended like a 15 years ago.

Get rid of Rosalina, Wario, Waluigi and Daisy first.

 

[TLZ]

You can't get rid of toads because they're citizens of peach's kingdom. Who's going to complain to Mario when she's kidnapped?

Get rid of Rosalina

Oh heeeeeell nah. That's my bae.

 

[phanphare]

Yes, because then we'd never get another Captain Toad game.

pretty much, yeah

can't believe how good that game was

 

[Theanine3D]

I don't want him to go away completely. He's still adorable. But everything in moderation. Nintendo has definitely overused him.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Toad doesn't need to go away, Toad just needs to be good. I really don't like that Toad is being pushed as some kind of mascot and is being given priority over original characters in spin-off material.

 

[Jimm]

Captain Toad is one of the best games on Wii U

Keep him so we get a Switch sequel!

 

[Maintenance]

That's the thing, if Toad was actually good at his job, Mario would be useless.

 

[Gilby]

Get rid of Rosalina first.

Yup, emo space-witch was only good in SMG1, everything else she looks weird and out of place.


And OP, you're a monster!

 

[iGeodude]

Hell yes I would, because he's the best! Without Toad there's no joy in the Mushroom Kingdom.

 

[Wowfunhappy]

Toad is adorable. Shut up.

In fact, how about we just get rid of Mario and replace him with Toad. Mario isn't cute.

 

[Gitaroo]

Captain toad was more fun than all the mario games I have played so yes, that would be sad.

 

[Zebei]

Toad is like my 2nd favorite mario character so yeah I would be mad

 

[robotrock]

I wouldn't even be mad if Nintendo got rid of Mario for good. I have no attachment to his character, I just love his games.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I have a question. Is Captain Toad the same toad from Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, and RPG?

 

[NorthAndSouth]

Toad is literally one of my favourite characters in the Mario universe alongside King Boo! I would sincerely be devastated if Nintendo forgot about him

 

[NathanS]

Every game in the Paper Mario franchise like Color Splash and Sticker Star will just further my resentment, and they clearly don't seem like they are going to cancel it anytime soon. So the only other way I won't feel angry about it is if they stop making the games.

I know Nintendo isn't exactly famous for their good PR, but this year has been especially bad.

Or, stop getting mad at changes to things that are beyond your control and aren't otherwise effecting your life. I don't know sounds like the saner route to take to me.

 

[daTRUballin]

I wouldn't even be mad if Nintendo got rid of Mario for good. I have no attachment to his character, I just love his games.

Really? You wouldn't be bothered at all if they got rid of Mario? Like, not even a little bit? I don't believe you.

Getting rid of Toad is one thing. Getting rid of Mario is a whole 'nother level.

 

[Chiramii]

I wouldn't care. Never enjoyed the character after the VA changed to a grainy 60 year smoker kind of type. Give me MP1-3/MK64 Toad back.

 

[Maintenance]

As long as the superior brother, Luigi, is still in, Mario can go take a hike.

 

[Vibranium]

No, Toad is cool. Nintendo needs to have more variety in their designs though.

Get rid of Rosalina, Wario, Waluigi and Daisy first.

My men Wario and Waluigi are waiting for a team-up adventure game, it's just up to Nintendo to make it happen.

 

[Vital Tundra]

Sorta. I like Toad because he is just as much apart of Super Mario as Mario, but at the same time he is a bastard.

 

[disappeared]

Get rid of Rosalina.

Absolutely not.

 

[The Hermit]

are you fucking nuts?

Toad rules

Ask anyone who is the best driver in Mario Kart since the SNES days... people would fight for him.

 

[Maintenance]

That will release simultaneously with the next mainline Metroid and the next F-Zero game.

 

[daTRUballin]

This!

If it wasn't for Mario, Luigi wouldn't even exist. So have some respect for motherfucking Mario, bitches.

You mean green Mario?

 

[phanphare]

Get rid of Rosalina, Wario, Waluigi and Daisy first.

woah woah woah

there's so much wrong with this post

 

[tanooki27]

the OP doesn't list any reason why he hates Toad. give us some bullet points or something

 

[Holy Order Sol]

It's not immature to want something you used to really like to end because you think it's gotten significantly worse. It tarnishes a legacy.

Like how Simpsons should have ended like a 15 years ago.

Any time there's a new anything there's a chance of it being good.
I play games not legacies.

 

[Fox Mulder]

The generic toads just need a more competent leader that can build their economy so they can take on better jobs, but she keeps getting kidnapped. Not their fault.

Captain toad is a role model and a great game.

 

[Toxi]

the OP doesn't list any reason why he hates Toad. give us some bullet points or something

Let me list mine

• He has an annoying voice
• He has no personality; when a Toad gains a personality, he becomes a distinct character like Captain Toad
• He's the worst bodyguard ever with how many times Peach has been kidnapped
• He's named "Toad" even though he's clearly a mushroom
• He's in a million fucking games, I'm sick of looking at him
• He's not playable in Smash Bros because Sakurai realizes how awful he is
• Seriously, his voice is the worst

 

[Gilby]

Let me list mine

• He's named "Toad" even though he's clearly a mushroom
• Seriously, his voice is the BEST

Toadstool.

 

[Portugeezer]

I love Toads.

 

[Toxi]

Let me list mine

• He's named "Toad" even though he's clearly a mushroom
• Seriously, his voice is the WORST EVER

Toadstool.

They should have called him Stool instead, it would fit him better.

 

[nickgia]

Then who would be in paper mario????


I like toad. Especially with his mario kart 64 voice.

 

[Alex]

I'm kind of down on Toad after the last Paper Mario. Of course, that's the fault of a bad game moreso than the character, I guess.

 

[KingBroly]

I'm tired of generic Toads. I want characters, not just personalities out of generic-looking Toads.

That's why Captain Toad is awesome

 

[sheaaaa]

It's not immature to want something you used to really like to end because you think it's gotten significantly worse. It tarnishes a legacy.

Like how Simpsons should have ended like a 15 years ago.

But the stuff you really liked still exists and is as enjoyable as ever. And the new stuff could have its own fans, who would then turn into fans of the older stuff.

I really like Sticker Star and think it's one of the most unfairly maligned games I've ever seen. But the original Paper Marios still exist and aren't going anywhere. It's really childish to want Paper Mario to die just because Sticker Star and Color Splash are very different games.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

Toad is indispensable.

There's no reason for Mario to even be Mario without all the things that have come to be around him, and have stuck.

 

[Daingurse]

I don't really care. Don't see why Toad would deserve the boot, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Toad is a character essential to the Mario franchise since the very first Super Mario Bros.
So yeah, I would be fucking pissed if they'd retire Toad.
I like him. Even if he's Nintendo's current filler character for everything (like in Paper Mario Sticker Star and Color Splash).

 

[Pokemaniac]

Toad doesn't need to go away, but the generic ones sure need to be pushed back into the background where they belong. If we're spending any significant amount of time with a specific toad, they need to be distinct.

 

[Terrell]

Without Toad, there can be no Toadette.

Therefore, OP is a goddamn monster.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Toad is the only Mario character worth fucking anything and if you fucking NERDS would've realized that maybe we wouldn't have global warming

 

[Toxi]

All Toad did in the very first Super Mario Bros was say "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!" Essential my ass.

 

[blamite]

Just give him his Mario Party 1/2 voice back...

I have an important question. Nintendo has also just released Mariokart 7 for the 3DS. In every iteration of Mariokart, I’ve always preferred to play as Toad. Who’s your favorite character?

That’s the most challenging question! I’m sorry that I cannot come up with an interesting answer. Somehow, it’s habit to me, but I play with Mario. He’s a very balanced character.

Who’s your least favorite character?

Toad. [Laughs]

My favorite character is your least favorite character?

I understand that he has some popularity. Somehow.

 

[Demoskinos]

Toad is objectively the worst Mario related character.

Shiggy Straight Savage

Also I don't particularly care for Toad but he'd feel out of place if he just up and went missing. And Captain Toad is great and his game is great. He's overused I know but there's no need to go #KillAllToads on them.

There is a list of Mario characters I'd like to see get fired and not return. Toad is not on that list.
