Toadette (キノピコ Kinopiko?) is a fictional character in Nintendo's Mario series of video games. She is a female member of the Toad species. Little is known about her because she debuted in mainly multiplayer spin-off games. Her Japanese name is a combination of "Kinopio", and "-ko", a common Japanese female name suffix.

[edit] Cameo/Non-Playable Appearances:
[edit] 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 possible that they were originally intended to be playable characters, and the plans to do so were scrapped after the intro movie was created.
[edit] Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
In Paper Mario: 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 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.
- In the German version, she is, mistakenly, called T. Tanja, in all other games, however, she is called Toadette.
[edit] Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix
Toadette, who is voiced by Jennifer Hale, appears in level 2-1 of DDR: Mario Mix. She has a seaside hotel that was once unintentionally mutated by the S.S. Brass, which the whirlwind jettison the S.S. Brass en route to the second Music Key. She perceived that as vandalism towards her hotel, and demanded them to restitute her hotel. The Mario brothers reversed the damage done to her hotel, and she praised them with a ship allowing them to get the second Music Key much more easily than before.
