Toad Mario Coloring Pages

Free Toad Mario Coloring Pages: 21 printable PDF designs of Princess Peach’s loyal mushroom attendant, with Toad smiling, screaming, looking bored, running, waving hello and goodbye, dressed in a wedding suit, folded flat in Paper Mario style, and behind the wheel in three Mario Kart Wii scenes. Kids pay nothing for any of the 21.

Toad first appeared in Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. in 1985, where a mushroom retainer greets Mario at the end of each castle with the famous news that the princess is in another castle. He became playable in the North American Super Mario Bros. 2 in 1988, pulling up vegetables faster than anyone else. Toad has raced in every Mario Kart since Super Mario Kart in 1992 and even headlined his own puzzle game, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, in 2014. Nintendo staff have explained that his spotted cap is part of his head, not a hat. In The Super Mario Bros. Movie from 2023, Keegan-Michael Key voices him.

Toad’s round cap and small body suit young children. Kart scenes and the wedding suit give older fans more parts to color.

What’s Inside This Collection

Classic portraits, moods and faces, action and greetings, Mario Kart Wii scenes, and drawing guides make up the 21 designs.

Classic Toad Portraits

Six pages show Toad in his standard pose from the Super Mario games. Keep the cap White with big Cherry Red spots, the vest Royal Blue with a Gold trim, and the pants crisp White.

Moods and Faces

Five sheets show Toad smiling, happy, cute, bored, and screaming. Add Peach cheeks to the cheerful faces and draw a dark Navy open mouth on the screaming page.

Action and Greetings

Five designs feature Toad running, waving hello, saying goodbye, dressed in a wedding suit, and drawn in Paper Mario style. Color the wedding suit a sharp Charcoal with a Scarlet bow tie, and keep the Paper Mario Toad flat with no shading at all.

Mario Kart Wii Scenes

Three pages show Toad with his racing car, holding a green shell, and driving in Mario Kart Wii. Paint the kart in Sky Blue with a Red mushroom emblem and give the green shell a Kelly Green top with a White rim.

Drawing Guides

Two sheets show simple drawing versions of Toad. These are good for practicing clean outlines before coloring the bigger scenes.

What Toad Mario Coloring Pages Do

Turning a helper into a hero. Toad spent his first game delivering bad news, then became a racer, a treasure hunter, and a playable star. That journey makes him a great example of a small character who keeps trying. After coloring, parents can ask which job Toad does best and talk about how helping others, like Toad, helps Princess Peach. It is its own kind of bravery.

Practicing round shapes and spots. Toad’s giant cap is a big dome dotted with circles, which gives children an easy way to practice coloring inside curved shapes. Filling each spot neatly and then coloring the White around it trains careful hand movements. Among the American Academy of Pediatrics’ checklists for toddlers and preschoolers, copying a circle sits among the hand skills expected around age 3, and Toad’s spotted cap is basically a page full of them.

Exploring emotions through faces. The smiling, happy, bored, and screaming pages show how much a face can say with just eyes and a mouth. Kids can match each page to a feeling and act it out. Teachers can use the set during social and emotional learning time, asking children when they last felt bored or excited and how Toad might handle the same moment.

Unwinding with a familiar favorite. Coloring a character kids already love feels relaxing rather than like a task. Nancy Curry and Tim Kasser reported in Art Therapy Journal, 2005, that people who colored patterned designs became less anxious than those drawing freely after a stressful exercise. The repeating spots on Toad’s cap offer that same calm, steady pattern.

How to Color Toad Mario Pages Well

• Spotted cap: Color the spots a bold Red first, then leave the rest of the cap White or shade it with pale Gray along the bottom. Coloring spots first keeps them perfectly round.
• Blue vest: Use Royal Blue for the vest and outline its edges in Gold or Yellow. The trim makes the vest look like his classic outfit.
• Face tone: Fill Toad’s face with a light Peach and add a hint of Pink on his cheeks. Soft cheeks give him his cheerful look.
• Big eyes: Color the eyes Black and leave a tall white highlight in each. The highlight keeps his face friendly and full of life.
• Kart details: Use a bright color for the body of the kart and Gray for the wheels. Bold kart colors show speed and energy.
• Paper Mario style: Keep colors flat and bright with thick outlines on the Paper Mario page. Flat color matches the paper-craft look of that series.
