I loved this theory, although there was something overlooked! In the "New Super Mario Bros." games, when a Toad is damaged, their spots reverse. For example, a standard Toad's head is white with red spots, but when damaged, or "small", their head changes to red with white spots. The end result is a Toad looking much like a Super Mushroom!

[@lankyceiling]

as a mushroom nerd, the bleeding tooth fungus was my first choice for toad, because, as you mentioned, red w/ white spots and white w/ red spots is a very important distinction when speaking about mushrooms. I assumed the twist was going to be that toad and toadette aren't the same species, given that toadette is (colour) with white spots and toad is whit with (Colour) spots. they're incompatible, they're different mushrooms. lowkey disappointed this wasn't mentioned. :/

[@vernanonix]

In fairness, going into the Mat types was interesting and is the kinda stuff I originally subscribed to this channel for.

[@tarrenp4021]

I think he emphasized the bleeding tooth fungus as this was the original design for toad(s) and was hoping to find property basics for the species, rather than assert that every toad, despite being identical in almost any way, is completely different. Red toads are shown to have children with blue toads in canon, etc, so this may be the reason he didn't go down that route.

[@cawareyoudoin7379]

Yeah, exactly! Toadettes seem to be a different species, or at least subspecies of toad.

[@natanieldahle3387]

It makes more sense with Todette being another species of mushrom than Toad is. That would explain why they got diffrent names, colour scheme (Toad withe with coloured spots, Toadette a colour with white spots) and the ponytails.

[@kitkat25195]

Wait… I searched if Mushrooms can breed and if said, quote’A new breed of fungus appeared less than 500 years ago, when the genes of two different types were accidentally mixed. Such hybrid fungi may be a threat to agriculture. Less than 500 years ago fungus spores of two different varieties of fungus met and produced offspring.’ ‘*Such hybrid fungi may be a threat to agriculture*’ Well Peach, you might want the toads to be kept in another castle…

[@UltraAryan10]

Toad with hair is not too uncommon so Toadette is probably just one particular Toad. I mean its not too surprising for Toads to name themselves.

[@hencethebeetroot]

@@UltraAryan10 Toadettes have other differences though: the ponytails - which notably appear to be made of the same material as their cap instead of the more human-like hair seen on Toads - and their color scheme (which is a color with white spots, as opposed to white with colored spots). They're not drastic differences, but they're differences nonetheless, leading me to believe that Toads and Toadettes are related, but still distinct, species.

[@Lectrikfro]

The cap being colored with white spots instead of white with colored spots is even the reason MatPat cited for toads not being the same species as the super mushroom. Why did he suddenly not apply the same criteria to toadette and toad

[@Vulpas]

Ponytail is because she's a girl. Yes, technically males can have them, but she's obviously female and was referred to as such in this very video's Miyamoto clip.

[@crownrabbitofsixsuits3767]

And to add on to that, Toads don't always stay as one color. In Paper Mario: The Origami King, somewhere along Picnic Road (IIRC), there is a pile of leaves where you can find a Toad. If you talk to him, he would complain that because he was in the leaves for too long, his colors changes. This means, if color (and, as some others have pointed out, patterns) denote a mating type, it means Toads are VERY type-fluid. Now I'm sure it was played up for laughs but that could show more aspects of Mushroom Kingdom society.

This may seem off-topic but you should do this Arg. What makes this interesting is that this is an mc map. It just uses the Minecraft map as a medium or a tool to help. It's called "Stick" I'm trying to solve it but it's really difficult.

[@complex2live]

I love how educational this videos are, makes you learn a lot of science before you take the class

[@SPONK223]

I just saw a video debunking this theory

[@SirThilliomAnimations]

@@SPONK223 ME TOO! One of the points was that toad has a skeleton, suggesting that toads are related to humans in someway, except that they had mushrooms growing on their head. Which is probably because they needed a way to survive in nature, and the mushrooms on their heads help them blend right in! Also the fact that storks deliver the baby's in the mushroom kingdom suggest that some of MatPat's research isn't all thought out thoroughly.

[@chocmilk]

Something I'd like to point out: specifically about Toads and their names. Generally, generic Toads are given names based on their color.(ex: Blue/yellow Toad). But there is only one toad named Toad(usually called the most dedicated servant of Peach, especially after Toadsworth's disappearance). He has a white head, red spots, and a blue jacket: a classic toad look, but sometimes toads prefer jackets the same color as their head. It's specified many times, although I wouldn't be surprised if it were ignored several times(for example, all of the toads in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon are called Toad until you meet them). Similarly, we generally only see one Toadette. Same with Captain Toad(who I suspect is the same person as Toad) and Toadsworth. I think Toadette is simply another toad who has a specific style: a main character among toads, if you will. Also, I've never delved into the original Mario lore, but from the evidence Matpat showed in the video, there are only nine "Mushroom Retainers." Probably just the world development just invalidating previous lore, but it makes sense to me.

[@DaNintendude]

Captain Toad is a different Toad than the main Toad. As we see in the Galaxy games, Captain Toad is a red-vested Toad. And his personality is fairly different than the main Toad as well. Captain/Explorer Toadette is the main Toadette, and this is backed up by references in other games. But Captain Toad himself is a different Toad than Toad. Another interesting thing is that Toads can possibly change their cap color. The Toad you can play as in Super Mario 3D World isn't Blue Toad from the NSMB series, he's just the main Toad with blue spots. I believe we see a Toad in a modern Paper Mario game claim that his cap color changed as well. And it's possibly based on where they live.

[@NotCarter]

hey matt i have an idea for a video. the game is called "it steals" (its a horror game) it dosent have any dialog but the monsters are really special. and its very mysterious. so far i havent seen a video about it wich is a shame.

[@THEPinkPikmin]

Hey matpat, I'm surprised that you haven't decided to do some theories about bugsnax, plus the new dlc is out, so go check it out and make sure to chat with Snorpy and Triffany to figure out some stuff
