Though not quite as agile as the world famous plump plumber Mario, Toad, the lovable fungus, is still one of the most fun characters to use while playing Super Mario Run. Thankfully, he is also by far the easiest character to unlock in the game, requiring no special tasks to complete.

Gaining access to Toad in Super Mario Run is relatively simple — it's basically just a matter of linking an official Nintendo account to the mobile game, and finally claiming this endearing character as a prize once the task is completed. If you'd like the full rundown on how it's done, just keep reading further.

Link Nintendo Account

To get started, you'll first need to link your My Nintendo account in the game by going to your kingdom (the main screen) and tapping on the Nintendo icon in the upper-right corner. You'll now be taken to a prompt detailing the benefits that come along with linking your account, so go ahead and tap on the "Link to Nintendo Account" button, and select "Sign in" or "Create a Nintendo Account."

From there, sign in to your Nintendo account using your credentials. If you don't already have an account, you can quickly create on by choosing to sign in with your Facebook, Twitter, or Google account. After your Nintendo account is created or logged into, follow the prompts and select accordingly to finish up, then tap "OK" when you're greeted by the "Mission Cleared!" page.

Redeem Toad

With your Nintendo Account created and successfully linked, you'll be automatically taken to a rewards page showing the points and prizes you've accumulated. You'll notice that Toad is available and requires no points to redeem, so tap on his picture, then choose "Redeem" once prompted.
