I swear, those Toads are out to troll me.

For those who don't have this game, occasionally on the map screen there will be this annoying "HELP ME!" voice yelling in the background. When you go to check it out, there's this crying Toad icon near a level marker.

When you go in the level, you're supposed to hit one of the ? blocks and a Toad will pop out. You need to carry him to the goal. If sucessful, you get a chance to stock up on items or lives. Sounds pretty easy eh? Oh, it isn't.

Why? Because when you drop the toad it has a bad habit of running around everywhere. Oh no Toad, watch out for that Goomba! Don't fall off that ledge Toad!

Unfortunately, the idiot Toad makes a suicide pact and runs right into the Goomba, falls off the ledge, and any other weird and wonderful way to kill himself.

It's near impossible to carry him to the goal on certain levels too. I think it was World 3-3, the one with the falling icicles. You can't carry him under a certain row of icicles because they'll touch Toad when you try to walk under them and he'll die. Yeah, I know he takes two hits but it doesn't help when he's running around.

Throw him under there? Nice try buddy, the icicles are still too close to each other.

Toad was my most disliked character in Super Mario anyway.. I mean cmon, so Bowser Jr put all the Toads in certain ? blocks. They're servants, who cares. I hated them on the original one too, they pop out of a chest and go "Sorry but the Princess is in another castle!" Yeah, mind telling me which one? They're prone to leading you on a wild goose chase.

Toads may be annoying, but they sure as hell aren't as annoying as the Postman from Twilight Princess. Only 1 or 2 of his mails are useful, the rest I could give less than a damn about. At least I can actually avoid the Toads >_>
