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 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.

==Notes==
==Trivia==
*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.
