Who else both loves and hates the MK64 Toad voice clips?!
I came up with the idea of creating a montage of Toad's old voice but also the thought of giving Toad a backstory to how his voice has evolved to today. This was the result! I had a lot of fun coming up with ideas from both older and newer Mario titles. I included a lot of references to mainline Mario and the spinoff series including: Mario RPG, Mario's Story (Paper Mario), as well as the Mario Kart series!
The animation style I was going for was a hybrid between the character designs of the Mario & Luigi series and a blue outline similar to the USA’s Super Mario Bros 2, which was Toad’s first time as a major playable character. I also went a bit ham with the backgrounds this time around :)
All music and sound effects are owned by Nintendo. I ended up voicing Toad, besides for the MK64 voice clips.
