'''Pidgits''' are small black or purple flightless [[crow]]s<ref name=DDP>{{cite|quote=「{{ruby|悪|あく}}{{ruby|夢|む}}を{{ruby|招|まね}}く{{ruby|飛|と}}べないカラス。マムーに{{ruby|空|そら}}{{ruby|飛|と}}ぶじゅうたんをもらい{{ruby|空|そら}}を{{ruby|飛|と}}び{{ruby|回|まわ}}っている。」 (''Flightless crows that bring nightmares.

Its name is a portmanteau of {{wp|Columbidae|pigeon}} and either "midget" or "idjit," a slurring of the word "idiot." Pidgits first appear in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

Pidgits have only one variant, [[Dodorigesu Jr.]], which are Pidgit children appearing in ''[[Mario & Wario]]''. They are visually identical to Pidgit's original 8-bit appearance, though they do not fly or ride carpets.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' / ''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[File:Pidgesu.png|thumb|left|150px|Original artwork of a Pidgit from ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'']]
Pidgits are a rare aerial enemy in [[Subcon]], with one appearing in [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-2]], one in [[World 3-1 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3-1]], and two in [[World 5-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 5-3]]. Their magic carpets in this game were provided by [[Wart]].<ref name=DDP/><ref name=NES>{{cite|date=1988|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|quote=He brings evil dreams. He can't fly on his own, so Wart gave him a flying carpet.|title=''Super Mario Bros. 2'' instruction booklet|page=25 (Pidgit description)}}</ref> The player usually needs to use their magic carpets to continue through these levels. Pidgits attack by swooping down. The player can defeat Pidgit by jumping on them and throwing them. The player can then ride the magic carpet for short distances. In the original version, Pidgits are colored black; in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version, they are blue; in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', they are purple. Additionally, in the original version, their carpets are red and white, but in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version, their carpets are orange and white, and in the [[Super Mario Advance|Game Boy Advance version]], they are red and white. The graphics for the magic carpet in the latter remake appear larger in-game due to being stretched, but are the exact same size as they were previously in the data.

====''Super Mario World''====
{{multiframe|[[File:Pidgit Bill SMW.png]][[File:PidgitBillAdvance.png]]|size=128|align=right|Pidgit Bills in ''Super Mario World'' and its Game Boy Advance version}}
In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', [[Bullet Bill]]s resemble Pidgits in [[Fall]], and are also renamed "Pidgit Bills". Their sprite is altered for ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', where they are given a flapping animation and look more like Pidgits in comparison to their static sprite in the original SNES title.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''===
[[File:CartoonPidgit.jpg|thumb|180px|A Pidgit playing the saxophone, from ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' episode "The Unzappables"]]
{{quote|It's no use! Pidgit's favorite food is carpet!|Mario|"[[Mario's Magic Carpet]]"}}
Pidgits make a few rare appearances on ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' They mainly appear in the episode "[[Mario's Magic Carpet]]," which is the only episode where they have a speaking role. Unlike the normal depiction of Pidgits, these Pidgits are capable of flying with their stubby wings rather than magic carpets, and their favorite food is said to be carpeting. [[Bowser|King Koopa]] calls a service known as [[List of implied organizations#Pidgit Express|Pidgit Express]], and ordered for a dozen Pidgits to eat away at Mario's magic carpet. Luigi ends up remembering that he knew how to speak the Pidgits' own language (named "Pidgit"), and convinces them to eat away at King Koopa's magic carpet instead.

A single Pidgit makes a brief appearance in the episode "[[The Unzappables]]," where it plays a saxophone at the [[Koopa Klub]] alongside a [[Goomba]] pianist and a [[Shy Guy]] cellist.
{{br}}

===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
In ''[[Brain Drain]]'', while in [[Iggy|Iggy Koopa]]'s hideout after having his mind swapped with a [[Koopa Troopa]]'s due to the [[Synapse Switcher]], Luigi can order a pizza from Magic Carpet Pizza, a pizzeria run by Pidgits, if he punches the correct number into the cafeteria's KoopaFone.

===''Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up''===
In the coloring book game, ''[[Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up]]'', the coloring page for Zoo Keeper features a Pidgit in a zoo. The description for the job is as follows: ''"Mario the zoo keeper think's he's one lucky fellow. After all, not many zoos in the world have such unusual creatures as Birdo, Tryclyde and Pidgit."''

===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:Pidgit SuperMarioKun.jpg|thumb|A Pidgit in ''Super Mario-kun Volume 8'']]
A Pidgit appears in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 8|volume 8]] of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' as Wart's assistant. It traps [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yoshi]], and Birdo in its flying carpet to take them to [[Subcon]], where its boss awaits them. The Pidgit is later seen beside Wart, commenting on the heroes' progress and the 8 bits' actions.

===''Wario's Woods''===
Additionally, a Pidgit<ref name=WnM>''Wario no Mori'' instruction booklet (fold-out; equivalent to NES pages).</ref> (known as the "'''Black Bat'''"<ref>{{cite|date=1994|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Wario's Woods'' instruction booklet|page=3}}</ref> in the English translation) appears as one of [[Wario]]'s monsters in ''[[Wario's Woods]]'', and overcomes the [[Sprite]] during the common event of Wario replacing [[Birdo]]. The Pidgit serves the opposite purpose of the Sprite, hovering over the field and dropping extra monsters down on [[Toad]] while [[Thwomp]]s summon [[bomb]]s. Two of them are also seen in the VS Mode, where they are tied to a gauge display rather than the appearance of Wario. 

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Pidgit}}
Pidgits appear in the background of [[Mushroom Kingdom II]], a [[stage]] introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and returning in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Here, a Pidgit rides a magic carpet, which players can jump on as long as the Pidgit is onscreen. While its magic carpet is three-dimensional, the Pidgit is a two-dimensional sprite.

The [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] also has a few collectible items of a Pidgit. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', there is a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of a Pidgit, and in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', there is an Advanced-class {{iw|smashwiki|support spirit}} of a Pidgit that slightly increases the power of air attacks when equipped. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] can be found in the {{iw|smashwiki|Mysterious Dimension}} sub-area of the {{iw|smashwiki|Dark Realm}}. It takes place on the Mushroom Kingdom II stage and features [[Princess Peach]] as the opponent.

===''Super Princess Peach''===
In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', once [[Bowser]] is beaten, a cutscene follows where Princess Peach knocks Bowser out of the Castle, followed by several Pidgit Bills carrying signs spelling "NICESHOT!!". Another group appears with signs spelling "CONGRATULATIONS!" once [[Mario]] is saved.
{{br}}

===''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''===
Pidgits appear as enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', and are located on [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]]. To attack, a Pidgit rises high on its magic carpet, then swoops down into Mario or [[Luigi]]. If a Pidgit is on the left, it attacks Mario. If it is on the right, a Pidgit attacks Luigi. Occasionally, during its attack, a Pidgit jumps, briefly stalling and possibly throwing off Mario or Luigi's counter. Additionally, some Pidgits carry a bag in battle; these Pidgits have a higher speed rating than normal Pidgits, give up more coins if beaten, and can [[flee]] battle. They have a higher chance of fleeing if there is only one of them. In non-American versions, most of the normal Pidgits' stats have been decreased, and they also give less [[Experience Point|experience points]].
