is a fictional character in Nintendo's Mario series of video games, including Double Dash!!, two Mario Parties, and The Thousand-Year Door. She is a female member of the Toad species. Little is known about her because she debuted in a mainly multiplayer spin-off game. Her Japanese name is a combination of "Kinopio", and "-ko", a common Japanese female name suffix. She is voiced by Jen Taylor.
Appearances
Playable Appearances
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Toadette first appeared in
Double Dash!!, most likely because Nintendo needed a character to be Toad's partner. Toadette, along with Toad, have to be unlocked. Her personal
go-kart, the Toadette Kart, is unlocked later. Toad and Toadette's special item in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is the Golden King Mushroom.
Mario Party 6 and 7
Toadette is an unlockable character in
Mario Party 6 by buying her at the Star Bank for 30 stars. She is also playable in the 2005 sequel,
Mario Party 7, but does not need to be unlocked. Her unique orb in this game is the Triple 'Shroom Orb, which she shares with Toad. When used, the orb will allow the player to move using two dice blocks for three turns in a row. In
Mario Party 6 and
Mario Party 7 she is voiced by
Jen Taylor and reveals she is Toad's sister.
Mario Superstar Baseball
Toadette is also an unlockable player in
Mario Superstar Baseball. She is a speed type player. She is unlocked by completing Challenge Mode with
Princess Peach as a Team Captain. In Challenge Mode the players she has good chemistry with are
Princess Peach,
Toadsworth, and
Toad. Chemistry in Mario Superstar Baseball means they work well together and can do other amazing stuff together.
Cameo Appearances
Mario Power Tennis
Toadette and Toad have an overlookable cameo in the intro movie to
Mario Power Tennis where they appear as an icon to the left on the tournament board that
Wario and
Waluigi deface. It is likely they were originally intended to be playable characters, and that the plans were scrapped after the intro movie had already been created. Toad and Toadette were probably replaced by
Paratroopa and
Fly Guy.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
In
The Thousand-Year Door, Toadette guides the player through a tutorial whenever Mario receives a jump or hammer upgrade. Also, if the player changes the time on the GameCube's internal clock, the large, brown
Bob-omb called
Lucky will mention that someone changed the clock, causing the lottery numbers to mess up, and will mention how, when he told Toadette this, she cried her eyes out. She is also mentioned on the back of the bulletin board in
Rogueport, where it is revealed that she loves animals.
During the tutorial sections, Toadette blushes slightly whenever Mario successfully performs a new technique, and also runs off crying the last time she teaches you a new move in the game. This could suggest she has a crush on Mario of some sort, but whether it's out of romantic feelings or respect for the hero figure is debatable, but this does show nonetheless she is a very emotional character.
Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix
Toadette appears in level 2-1 of
Mario Mix. She runs a seaside hotel which gets twisted up by accident, and the player must use the magic of dancing to restore its shape. She is voiced by
Jennifer Hale in this game.
