The Toad Brigade are a group of Toads who help Mario in some of his adventures. They first appeared in Super Mario Galaxy and are led by Captain Toad. The group would later expand their roster by adding additional members such as Toadette.
History
Super Mario Galaxy
After Bowser lifts Peach's castle and kidnaps her, the Toad Brigade, along with Luigi, escaped from the castle and wandered across space. However, Bowser attacks them and the brigade are separated from Luigi, who later gets lost in the Ghostly Galaxy. They soon get stranded in the Honeyhive Galaxy, but Mario soon finds and saves them. The Toad Brigade helps Mario at the Comet Observatory by finding the locations of Power Stars and delivering letters. They will also travel to different galaxies aboard their Starshroom spacecraft built for them by the Lumas.
