Toad Costume Guide

Dress like Toad from Mario with a spotted beret, Toad costume, brown shoes, and green shell plushie.

ABOUT TOAD:

Toad first appeared in the original Super Mario Bros. game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1985.

He is a loyal follower and servant of Princess Peach, who oversees the whole of Mushroom Kingdom. Although multiple are often seen and all look visually similar, there does seem to be one particular Toad who acts as their leader and spokesperson.

Although a great costume on its own, Toad and Toadette make for one of our absolute favorite couple’s costume ideas!

How To Dress Like Toad

1. HAT – Could we start our guide anywhere else? Toad’s mushroom hat is almost as iconic as Mario’s and we love it!

2. VEST & PANTS – This accessory set is perfect for Toad. Both the waistcoat and the pants are high quality and inexpensive, with these and the hat you are pretty much ready to go!

3. SHOES – Any pair of plain brown shoes will work just fine for this outfit. Because Toad is Princess Peach’s right-hand man, we went for a suitably formal pair of Oxford lace-ups.

4. MUSHROOM PLUSH – Lend Mario a hand with this adorable mushroom plushie.

5. GREEN SHELL – Alternatively, a green shell is another great costume accessory. Look out Mario Karters, Toad is packing heat!
