Blue Toad (aka Yvan) in Super Mario 3D World as one of the playable characters that the player can use. In this game, Toad is depicted with blue spots, which seems to be based off Blue Toad from the New Super Mario Bros. games, as well as Toad's very own in-game appearance in the NES version of Super Mario Bros. 2, where his sprite presented him with blue spots. During the introduction sequence of Super Mario 3D World, Toad is seen taking a late evening stroll with his friends Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach near Peach's castle. However, Toad is the first to notice a strange clear pipe that stood in front of their way in a tilted position. After Mario and Luigi fix the pipe, the gang meet the green Sprixie Princess who warn the four friends of Bowser's evil plot of capturing all the Sprixies. Unfortunately, Bowser arrives to the scene and captures the Sprixie Princess. After Peach falls into the pipe trying to stop Bowser, Toad immediately jumps into the pipe with Mario and a cowering Luigi to start their new adventure.
Toad's abilities during gameplay are very similar to Super Mario Bros. 2. Toad is the fastest playable character, but has the shortest jumping height as well as having the fastest falling speed. When he turns to Small Toad, the colors of his cap are inverted to blue with white spots. When he is Fire Toad, he gains the colors of Fire Yellow Toad. Blue Toad has a Younger Brother named Yellow Toad.
