Editing Birdo Ray

[[Image:BirdoRayMissile.jpg|thumb|The missile of the '''Birdo Ray''', as seen in a simulation.]]

The '''Birdo Ray''' was a large, seemingly unstoppable superweapon, and was an extension of [[Bowser|Darth Koopa's]] [[Koop Star]]. Despite its name, the Birdo Ray does not resemble an actual [[Birdo (species)|Birdo]]; instead, it is named for the fact that it is a [[cannon]] that can fire an egg-shaped missile. The missile, if it were to have hit a planet, would have covered the surface in a yolk-like substance, presumably killing all life on the planet.

The Birdo Ray was featured in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[Star Koopa]]", where Darth Koopa threatened to destroy the [[Mushroom Colonists' Planet]] with it unless they were to surrender their planet to him. After capturing [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], Darth Koopa showed her, as well as [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Toad]] a simulation of the Birdo Ray destroying the Mushroom Colonists' Planet, implying that he wanted Princess Toadstool to order the [[Toad (species)|Mushroom colonists]] to surrender.

As Princess Toadstool refused to surrender, Darth Koopa ordered [[Mouser (character)|Mouser]] to activate the Birdo Ray, which would fire after a thirty-minute charging time. After narrowly escaping from Koop Star, Mario's group made it to the [[Mushroom Colony]] with only fifteen minutes left until the Birdo Ray was set to go off. [[Obi-Wan Toadi]] explained that the only way to stop the Birdo Ray was for someone to penetrate Koop Star in a [[Mushroom Starfighter]], so that they could disable it manually.

Mario and his friends agreed to help, and after fighting off enemy [[Stormtroopa Starfighter]]s, Mario succeeded in blowing up the foundation of Koop Star with a [[Bob-omb]]. As a chain reaction, Koop Star as a whole blew up, taking the Birdo Ray with it, just as it had finished charging.

==Trivia==

*Birdo Ray is a pun of Death Ray.
