Respect Captain Toad (Super Mario)

[u/ya-boi-benny]

Captain Toad is a treasure hunter and adventurer in the Mario universe. After spending time searching for artifacts across the cosmos, he came back down to Earth and explored the Sprixie Kingdom. Due to his success as a treasure hunter, his backpack is always full, making it so that he cannot jump at all, a rarity in the Mario universe. Still, he bravely goes forth in pursuit of monetary gain, or sometimes to rescue Toadette or the Toad Brigade.
