The Traveling Toad is a Red Toad from Paper Mario: Sticker Star. He travels the world striving to go on "a journey of self-confidence." The Traveling Toad also has a friend found in Decalburg who he will write to each time he meets up with Mario. He is a key part of a side quest in the game, in which he is attacked by a group of a enemies in every world he travels to. When Mario attempts to save the Traveling Toad, he can either bribe the enemy, or fight them. Once Mario has successfully bribed or defeated the enemies, the Traveling Toad will give Mario a rare or special item.

Encounters[]

The Traveling Toad first appears in the Bouquet Gardens, and is attacked by a 2-Fold Goomba. It can be bribed for 20 coins. Once saved, Mario will get a Cat-o-Luck Thing and the Traveling Toad will mail a letter to his "bud" describing his heroic encounter with the foe (He will continue to take credit for Mario's deeds until the final encounter). The Traveling Toad's second appearance is in the Drybake Desert, where his attacked by a 5-Fold Paragoomba. Mario can bribe it for 25 coins. Once the enemy is defeated/bribed, Mario will get a Shiny Mushroom. In World 3, the Traveling Toad is by 2 Poison Bloopers in the Stump Glade. They can be bribed for 50 coins. The reward is a Shiny Mushroom. In World 4, the Traveling Toad is attacked by 2 Shy Guys. They can be bribed for 100 coins. When saved, the Toad rewards Mario with a Secret Door (Sticker). Mario's final encounter with the Traveling Toad is in the Jungle Rapids, where the Toad is attacked by 2 Spear Guys. They can be bribed for 500 coins. After Mario has defeated the enemies, the Traveling Toad will give up on his "journey of self-confidence" and return home to help rebuild the Sticker Fest. If Mario returns his "Bud's" house, he will confess in a letter to the Bud that Mario has been helping him all along, and that he is giving up on his journey. The Bud will then tear up and give Mario an HP-Up Heart.
