What really needs to happen is to have Toad in more playable roles so that people will stop calling all Toads Toad and only the one Toad Toad.
I don't get why so many people confuse the race with the character. It baffles me since nobody gets this confused when talking about other things that are races and characters (Yoshi, Birdo, Koopa, Para Troopa, ShyGuy, ect..)
I really hope a game featuring Toad is on the way, but I might as well give up. I've been hoping that for the last ten years or so..
