Rapecopter Who knows? Apparently he's Wario's brother, though.

Not sure. Originally they were all referred to as "Mushroom Retainers", while the character Toad was just "Toad". Now, they're all called "Toads". The character Toad is still Toad, it's just everyone else is a Toad too.
The same thing happened with Yoshi.

As a matter of fact, NES sprites could have four colors plus a transparent color. In some cases, as many as six colors could be present. The NES's PPU featured four selectable sets of three colors for sprites, as well as four sets of three colors for tiles, and one background color (a total of 25 colors out of the system's 64) to be used on one scanline.
