In New Super Mario Bros and Mario 3D World. It's always the stupid blue and yellow toad or one of them. I wanna play as the original Toad from Super Mario Bros 2 with the red dots.

I think it's probably because Mario is the definitive "red" character. With power ups and such taken into account, it might get a bit confusing color-wise to have two red themed characters running around. That's also sort of the reason why Mario's cat suit is yellow in 3D World, I'm assuming. You can tell obvious difference between him and Peach when they're in their regular clothes, but when they're running around in cat suits, it'd be difficult to tell a red and a pink cat apart sometimes.

Probably for colour differentiation in regards to having Toad become the "blue character". He was always represented by the blue colour in Mario Kart as well, so it makes sense especially with Mario being around. Also Toad's original sprite from SMB2 was blue too, so I guess Nintendo just wanted to go back to him being blue in-game.

Also - I think they're trying to make the original Toad become Captain Toad in ways if you believe the captain to being more like the original Toad as opposed to "Blue Toad". They both share similar personalities, and Captain Toad's beta icon was infact an icon of Toad (with red spots and a blue vest) prior to the final release which showed off Captain Toad's new appearance.
