Made some changes to my "Mario" block sprites:
   
Also, happy new year!

Made a better Toad head, with three angles instead of two:
   

Made a Toad with "no arms and legs", "legs and no arms", and "legs and arms" in three angles:
   
What do you think?

Made recolo(u)rs for my custom Toad sprite:
   

Toad might need to be a pixel or two smaller than Mario. Other than that, it looks pretty good.

I have tried shortening Toad's legs (or "legs and arms"):
   

I have also tried shortening Toad through other means:
   

I decided to stick with the "as tall as Mario" Toad.
I have fixed the shading on his standing sprites and made walking sprites for him:
   

Fixed the second frame of my custom Toad sprite's walk cycle and added jumping and falling poses for my custom Toad sprite:
   

Made a crouch pose for my custom Toad sprite and fixed the shading on my custom Toad sprite's "front" and "back" poses:
   

Made climbing and swimming animations for my custom Toad sprite:
   

Made "kicking" and "sliding" poses for my custom Toad sprite and fixed my custom Toad sprite's climbing poses:
   

Finished my custom Toad sprite and changed the fire palette of my custom Toad sprite to be more accurate:
   
Here's a "Ala Gold Yellow" version of it too:
   
And here's the workflow of my custom Toad sprite:
   
What do you think?

Sorry for my late reply.

Anyways, Toad looks good! But one thing I'd point out is that the front arm on walking frames 2, and 5 looks a little thicker and off than his front arm on the stand, and other walking frames. Other than that, I don't see any other problems with Toad.

Finished the Spiny (From the Mario Franchise, not the Sonic Franchise), included here:
