| ==History==
| |
| ===''Super Mario Advance''===
| |
| In ''Super Mario Advance'', Robirdo replaces [[Mouser]] from the [[Super Mario Bros. 2|original game]] as the boss of [[World 3-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3-3]]. Despite being derived from the pink Birdo, both in appearance and function, it speaks with a robotic version of Red Birdo's voice, using a couple of her direct quotes during the boss intro and upon being defeated (''"How could you?"''). Robirdo has three attacks: The first has it fire giant [[Birdo's Egg|eggs]] from its mouth. The second attack is a direct charge towards the player, used after Robirdo takes damage or follows one of the other attacks. The player can avoid this by grabbing one of the [[Chain (object)|chains]] hanging from the ceiling. The third attack is used once Robirdo has taken at least one hit—a [[Ground Pound]]-like jump that immobilizes the player. The only way to damage Robirdo is to throw the giant eggs back at it; it takes five hits to defeat. After it takes three hits, however, it continuously moves its head up and down when performing the charge attack, causing the player to possibly take damage when riding on top of it. The end credits depict it without its bow; this is consistent with the normal Birdo.

| | |
| Robirdo has an [[List of Super Mario Advance pre-release and unused content|unused]] voice clip of her saying, ''"I'm gonna finish you off!"'' presumably a leftover from one of Red Birdo's clips, due to the rest of her voice clips being used.

| ===''Super Mario-kun''===
| | '''Robirdo''' is a huge robotic version of [[Birdo]] in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2#Super Mario Advance|Super Mario Advance]]'', replacing [[Mouser]] as the boss of World 3-3. Robirdo has three attacks in battle. The first attack is a classic Birdo attack - shooting eggs from its mouth. This attack is the only way to kill it. The second attack is only used once Robirdo has been damaged - a ground pound attack that immobilises and damages the player. This is immediately followed by its third attack, which is charging directly towards the player. This attack would be almost impossible to dodge, if it weren't for those seven chains hanging from the ceiling. The player can use them to avoid this attack. The charge also follows the egg attack. |

| |
| Robirdo also makes an appearance in volume 26 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. Robirdo appears in a short segment involving ''Super Mario Advance'' at the end of the chapter of the main story. The [[Shy Guy]]s unleash Robirdo on [[Mario]], but Mario defeats it by throwing a [[Mega Guy|Giant Shy Guy]] at it.

| | The only way to damage this boss is throw giant eggs at it. However, as these eggs are so large, it takes quite some time to pick them up successfully, and unfortunately this gives time for Robirdo to use its charge attack. After picking up the egg, it is advised that the player quickly gets out of the way and throw it at Robirdo. After being hit five times, Robirdo surrenders and the player gains access to World 4. |

| | *Robirdo is a portmanteau of "Robot" and "Birdo". |
| | *Robirdo's ground pound was likely inspired by the first boss battle of ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong '94]]''. However, the player can avoid this on the chains or on Robirdo's head. |
| | *Robirdo speaks with a robotic version of the regular Birdo's voice. One of Birdo's quotes, "How ''could'' you?!", is also said by Robirdo in said voice. |
| | *It is unknown whether or not Robirdo is a sentient being, or of it's a mech that the actual Birdo is controlling from the inside, in a similar manner to [[Magnus Von Grapple]] and [[Brobot]]. |
| | *Interestingly, once Robirdo is on two HP, every time it uses the charge attack, its head changes rapidly from normal face to damaged face. |
