Super Mario 3D World /Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[]
Blue Toad apears for the first time as a playable character in a 3D Mario game along with Mario, Luigi and Peach on the mission to save the sprixies from Bowser. He is characterized by his exceptional speed, making him the fastest runner in the group.

In the game he is just labeld as Toad compared to his previous mario bros playable apearences where he is called as Blue Toad.
