Today I was lucky
enough to find a Toad Amiibo figure. Toad
was never a popular character when I was a kid.
The most popular of course was Mario, so that’s why Nintendo made many
games that featured him. Then one day
Nintendo decided to make a game featuring Toad as the protagonist in Captain
Toad: Treasure Tracker. The game looked like
fun and had lots of charm to it. It
always amazes me how Nintendo is able to launch a relatively small character
into superstardom with their own franchise like they did with Luigi in Luigi's
Mansion, Donkey Kong in Donkey Kong Country, and Yoshi in Yoshi’s Story.
Now that Toad has his
own spin-off series, I had to buy his Amiibo figure. Amiibo Toad was officially released on March
20th, 2015. I’m thankful that
the release date was more organized than other releases. Toad is part of the Super Mario Amiibo
figures which I consider the second series of Amiibo, the first one being Super
Smash Bros. Toad is well painted and
sculpted, and it shows that the manufacturer is getting better at producing
these figures. I’m glad Nintendo decided
to honour Toad with an Amiibo and I’m excited to see what the future holds for this
loveable little guy.
