'''Ostros''' are large, flightless birds from ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and a method of transportation in [[Subcon]].<ref name=booklet>{{cite|quote=He serves as a means of transportation in the world of dreams.

'''Ostros''' are large, flightless birds that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', and are said to be a mode of transportation in [[Subcon]].<ref name=booklet>"''He serves as a means of transportation in the world of dreams. Shyguys often ride him.''" - ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' instruction booklet, page 26 (Ostro description).</ref> They are the first species that allow [[Mario]] to ride them, even though they are enemies. In the cast roll of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Ostros' and [[Birdo]]'s names were switched, causing some confusion; this mistake was fixed in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''.

Ostros are ridden by red [[Shy Guy|Shyguy]]s in ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'', ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', and later versions. Shyguys try to Ostros toward the player. If their rider is dislodged, the Ostro travels in a straight line. Players can jump on top of an Ostro and ride it across obstacles even if it still has a Shyguy rider. Ostros can be picked up, but they do not bounce when thrown. Ostros drop [[Heart (item)|hearts]] when defeated in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'' only.

Ostros made their debut in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', where they are ridden by red [[Shy Guy|Shyguy]]s that try to steer them towards the player. If their rider is dislodged, the Ostro travels in a straight line. Players can jump on top of an Ostro and ride it across obstacles even if it still has a Shyguy rider. Ostros can be picked up, but they do not bounce when thrown. In ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', they drop [[Heart (item)|hearts]] when defeated.


Ostros are black with white wings and legs and red eyes in ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', but were subsequently redesigned to be pink with a white belly, wings that are the same color as their body, orange legs, black eyes and a pink feather on their heads. The original artwork's attributes are mostly true to the original sprites, though they have yellow beaks and legs, as well as a white tuft on their heads. The artwork for ''Super Mario USA'' lacks the feather on the head the original artwork had, and depicts it as having three toes on each foot, unlike the original artwork and real ostriches, which have two. This artwork was retouched for ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', coloring it pink, but retaining the lack of feather and white wings.
While Ostros are black with white wings and legs and red eyes in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version of the game, subsequent remakes have depicted them as being pink with a white belly, wings that are the same color as their body, orange legs, black eyes and a pink feather on their heads. The original artwork's attributes are mostly true to the original sprites, those they have yellow beaks and legs, as well as a white tuft on their heads. The artwork for the Japanese release of ''Super Mario USA'' lacks the feather on the head the original artwork had, and depicts it as having three toes on each foot, unlike the original artwork and real ostriches, which have two. This artwork was retouched for ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', coloring it pink, but retaining the lack of feather and white wings.

Several Ostros, though usually referred to as '''{{wp|common ostrich|ostrich}}es''', appear in several episodes of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', where they are usually ridden and used to haul motorless vehicles, much like horses. Due to their role, Ostros never have any speaking lines, and usually make honking noises. They first appear in the episode "[[Butch Mario & The Luigi Kid]]", where several Ostros are used by Mario, [[Luigi]], [[Snifit]]s and several other characters as steeds to travel through the [[Wild West]]. A wild ostrich appears in "[[Too Hot to Handle]]" on the island of [[Waki-Waki]]. Mario, Luigi, and [[Toad]] ride it to reach [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] faster. Like in the game, they are black, but can also be a dark brown color. Additionally, their wings are orange, have pink feathers on their head, and possess a purple saddle, and bridle.

==Notes==
*The ''Super Mario USA'' arc of the ''[[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Super Mario]]'' Kodansha manga interestingly refers to Ostro as "Birdo" in Japanese, reflecting its erroneous name from the English credits of the game. This is possibly due to the enemy not being featured in the Japanese manual for ''Super Mario USA'' under its official Japanese name.
**Inversely, Birdo is referred to by her proper Japanese name of "Catherine" on the same page.
