Toad "came into the picture" as a character who thanked Mario for completing the levels, but informed him that Princess Toadstool (now known as Princess Peach).The actual quote is "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!" He first appeared in "Super Mario Bros." and was at the time known as a "toad retainer" but not really a specific character until "Super Mario Bros. 2" From then on, he became more popular as the success in the Mario Games grew. Well, he is named Toad because he is a Mushroom... he comes from the Mushroom Kingdom. And another word for mushroom would just so happen to be "Toadstool". Hence, "Toad" Here is actually a pretty interesting article on him from wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toad_%28Nintendo%29
