{{stub|section=y|Incorporate information from the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series.}}
===''Wario Land II''===
Gulls in ''[[Wario Land II]]'' are harmless creatures found flapping their wings in one place in midair. [[Wario]] can use them as [[platform]]s to reach remote locations; however, they fly away before long once he touches them but come back shortly afterwards. Like the game's enemies, gulls can be defeated with a [[Dash Attack]] or a [[Ground Pound|ground pound]], respawning only if Wario leaves and re-enters their area. Gulls first appear in the level [[Get in the Tea Cup]].

===''Game & Watch Gallery'' series===
Seagulls, here identified as '''albatrosses''',<ref>{{cite|author=World of Longplays|date=March 18, 2017|url=youtu.be/VKWaU3iqGqQ&t=13925s|timestamp=3:52:05|title=Game Boy Advance Longplay [148<nowiki>]</nowiki> Game & Watch Gallery 4 (Part 4 of 4)|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=January 19, 2019}}</ref> appear in the Modern version of the [[Game & Watch]] title ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (New Wide Screen)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]'' and ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]''. In these games, when [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] gets the [[key]] on the second stage, an albatross appears and acts as a platform so that he can reach [[Donkey Kong]]'s cage. Unlike its ''Wario Land II'' counterpart, the albatross does not fly away when Donkey Kong Jr. touches it. However, it does regularly fly away for a short time, forcing Donkey Kong Jr. to time his [[jump]] carefully. An albatross also occasionally appears in the background at sunset in the Modern version of ''[[Fire (Game & Watch)|Fire]]'' from ''Game & Watch Gallery 4''.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
Seagulls in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' occur throughout [[Isle Delfino]], flying on the breeze. They can be heard calling when near and often occur in small flocks. Seagulls cannot be interacted with, unlike the parrot-like [[Bird (Super Mario Sunshine)|bird]]s. Flocks of seagulls appear on the title screen.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====

Seagulls in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' occur flying through the air in beach-themed [[Galaxy|galaxies]]. They do not land during normal gameplay, but they appear grounded during the hidden cutscene with [[Rosalina]] in the [[Gateway Galaxy]]. Their profile is embroidered into flags present in the Sea Slide Galaxy, depicted eating a mushroom. Seagulls are the only ambient birds in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Unlike [[butterfly|butterflies]], they have no interactive elements.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
Seagulls in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' retain the same design and behavior as before, appearing in the air of beach-themed galaxies, and they occur around [[Starship Mario]], likely to strengthen Starship Mario's allusion to seafaring vessels.

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
Seagulls in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' appear in beach-themed courses, flying through the sky. They have a slightly more simplified design than they did in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games. Unlike [[small bird]]s, seagulls do not land or respond to [[Mario]]'s actions.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:SMO Art - Seaside Kingdom Card.png|thumb|170px|Seagulls in Bubblaine in ''Super Mario Odyssey'']]
Most kingdoms have a unique, interactable bird species in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. In most of them, the bird is a type of small bird, but seagulls are the species in the [[Seaside Kingdom]]. Seagulls are skittish and fly away when approached by Mario or if [[Cappy]] is tossed towards them. If Mario falls asleep in the Seaside Kingdom, seagulls may flock near him and one may even roost on his nose. During the [[Mission|objective]] "[[List of Power Moons in the Seaside Kingdom#Bird Traveling Over the Ocean|Bird Traveling Over the Ocean]]", a glowing seagull holds a [[Power Moon]]. It releases it when Mario makes contact with the bird.

Seagulls appear alongside all other birds in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]] once [[Princess Peach]] and [[Tiara]] are rescued.

====''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
Seagulls in the ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' campaign spot cat ears, and they appear throughout [[Lake Lapcat]]. Seagulls fly away if Mario or [[Bowser Jr.]] comes near, or if a [[Koopa Shell|Green Shell]] is kicked or thrown at them. All seagulls fly away immediately when the rain that signals [[Fury Bowser]] is about to rampage begins.

===''Mario Party 8''===
Seagulls in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' appear on [[Goomba's Booty Boardwalk]]. Aside from appearing in the background, seagulls are ordered by [[Captain Goomba (Mario Party 8)|Captain Goomba]] to transport the player to the beginning of the [[board (Mario Party series)|board]] after giving them a [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]].

===''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''===
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'', seagulls appear as ambient creatures that fly away when approached by Mario and Luigi.
