'''Pidgits''' are small black or purple flightless [[crow]]s<ref name=DDP>「{{hover|悪|あく}}{{hover|夢|む}}を{{hover|招|まね}}く{{hover|飛|と}}べないカラス。マムーに{{hover|空|そら}}{{hover|飛|と}}ぶじゅうたんをもらい{{hover|空|そら}}を{{hover|飛|と}}び{{hover|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 slang term meaning "idiot".

Pidgits first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where they 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>"''He brings evil dreams. He can't fly on his own, so Wart gave him a flying carpet.''" - ''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 [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] 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 NES version, their carpets are red and black, but in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version, their carpets are orange and white, and in the [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] version, they are red and white. In ''Super Mario Advance'', the graphics for the magic carpet appear larger in-game due to being stretched, but are the exact same size as they were previously in the data.

Pidgits make a few rare appearances on ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' They mainly appear in the episode "[[Mario's Magic Carpet]]". 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.

===Nintendo Adventure Books===

In ''[[Brain Drain]]'', while in [[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.

A Pidgit appears in volume 8 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. It traps [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Yoshi]] in its flying carpet.

 

Pidgit children known as [[Dodorigesu Jr.]] appear in the Japanese Super Famicom game ''[[Mario & Wario]]''. They are visually identical to Pidgit's original 8-bit appearance, though they do not fly or ride carpets.

Additionally, a Pidgit<ref name=WnM>''Wario no Mori'' Japanese instruction booklet (fold-out; equivalent to NES pages).</ref> (known as the "'''Black Bat'''"<ref>''Wario's Woods'' English instruction booklet, page 3 (NES/SNES) & 4 (NES).</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 (object)|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. Melee''====

Pidgits make a cameo appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. They appear in the level [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] and ride red magic carpets. While its magic carpet is three-dimensional, the Pidgit is a two-dimensional sprite. The players can jump on the magic carpet as long as the Pidgit is on the screen. A [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of a Pidgit can also be obtained.

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====

Pidgits reappear on the Mushroom Kingdom II stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', and act the same as they did in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''; the carpet they ride on has been updated from red to yellow. In addition, a Pidgit appears as an Advanced-class support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] that slightly increases the power of air attacks when equipped. In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate#Adventure|World of Light]], the spirit can be found in the Mysterious Dimension sub-area of the Dark Realm. The spirit battle takes place on the Mushroom Kingdom II stage, with [[Princess Peach]] as the opponent.

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 more 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]].
