Yes, absolutely. Toad is the biggest Nintendo character not yet playable and with the exception of maybe Isabelle and even Dixie, he is the last remaining "all-star".

Now, as for what incarnation, that's tricky. I'd be fine with either Captain Toad or the standard Toad. The traditional Toad is the most iconic and important to the series, but Captain Toad is more relevant right now, has greater demand, and has greater potential for a cohesive move set. Whichever one gets added, I'm certain the other would be an alt costume.
 
If a Toad were to be in Smash, it would have to be Captain Toad. That's because he's the most developed Toad in terms of abilities and personality, unlike Toadsworth who didn't have much abilities showcased except for the inexplicit talent at Mahjong, while Toad is comparatively generic. Toadette is in between so I guess she will be an alternate version of Captain Toad.

I would have picked Waluigi over Toad in any case.

Thank you for reading.
 
Absolutely yes, Toad should be in Smash. I've been wanting him since the beginning of the Brawl days and today I feel he is missing from the roster. I don't even care which Toad it is, as long as a Toad is playable, though I do prefer the regular, generic Toad with maybe a Captain Toad alt and a Captain Toad-inspired moveset. Toadette, however, is the Toad character I truly want in the game so I just voted for her.
 
Toad and Captain Toad feel interchangeable to me. Just as long as we get a Toad, it would be real swell. Toad is a highly requested character since Melee, and to not see him when the Mario Karters are in the Rosalina reveal trailer, it's jarring. I voted for Captain Toad in the ballot, after all.
 
I'd support Toad, but I still want Waluigi more despite probably deserving it less. It'd be great if they both made it in to Smash 5.
 
Regular Toad and Blue Toad (If they decided they wanted to rep NSMB/3D World more) were pretty much deconfirmed already. But Captain Toad is still potentially alive. No sign of Captain Toad as an assist trophy yet, and if there are any character reveals in between now and when the game releases. Next month could be a window for a reveal with his game's port to Switch being revealed.

Or he could even be a final roster reveal surprise ala Bowser Jr.
 
Toad and Daisy were my least-wanted Mario newcomers. They've added one already while shafting one of my most wanted. I'd hope they don't do that twice.
 
No, I think that Toad should be as a move, not a playable character.
 
Toadsworth by a landslide. Toadette's fine too, but I know she won't get in without Toad. Toad is a bad choice due to who he is in general, and I'm not a fan of Captain Toad (still better than Toad though).
