They are gentle forest creatures who lived comfortably in the [[Wario's Woods (location)|Peaceful Woods]], but become in danger of losing their home when [[Wario]] takes it over, renaming it "Wario's Woods" and populating it with monsters. During gameplay, a Sprite plays a key role by helping [[Toad]] clear out monsters by providing him with [[Bomb (object)|bombs]]. However, if the player does not keep the gauge full, she will be replaced with a [[Pidgit]], which is also symbolized when Wario replaces [[Birdo]] on the sidelines. The Pidgit will simply shower down more monsters while Wario attempts to knock the [[Thwomp]] down, but the Sprite returns once the gauge refills, making Wario leave and Birdo come back. Two of them are also seen in the VS Mode and act identically, except Birdo and Wario do not appear. Presumably, their lives return to normal after the events of the game.

==Trivia==
*The species of [[Wanda]], the fairy character from ''[[Mario & Wario]]'', shares the same generic name in Japanese, although she hails from a [[Yōsei no Mori|different forest]] and is said to be more elusive. She is also referred to as a "sprite" in English pre-release materials.<ref>{{cite|quote=In this game, you play the part of Wanda, the flying sprite who steers Mario and creates blocks to allow him through the obstacle-ridden stages.|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 52|date=September 1993|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|author=Tilden, Gail, et al.|page=110}}</ref>
**In manga adaptations of ''Wario's Woods'', however, Wanda takes the Sprite's place.
