Nintendogs, simply referred to as dogs in Super Mario Odyssey, are puppies from the Nintendogs series. Nintendogs are named after their debut game, which in turn is a portmanteau of "Nintendo" and "dog". Nintendogs have appeared in a few Super Mario games.
History
WarioWare series
Nintendogs appear in the microgame Nintendogs in WarioWare: Smooth Moves, where the player has to high-five the puppies. Nintendogs also appear in a similarly named microgame in WarioWare Gold, where the player must rub them. They appear again in WarioWare: Move It! alongside cats in the microgame nintendogs + cats, where the player must pet both at the same time.
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
A white Labrador Retriever Nintendog became an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. When it is activated, it will distract the players by covering most of the screen and start clawing and barking, although it only works on actual players. Occasionally, pausing the game while the Nintendog is on the screen instantly causes it to leave. Nintendogs also appear as stickers and a trophy in the game.
According to Masahiro Sakurai, Nintendogs were briefly considered to be a playable character in Brawl, but were ultimately dropped as Sakurai did not consider such a character to be suited for battle and would work better as an Assist Trophy instead.[1]
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the Nintendog returns as an Assist Trophy, though in this game it is a French Bulldog. A number of Nintendogs also appear on the Living Room stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.
If the game is paused while the Nintendog is on-screen, while it still appears in front of the screen, moving the camera causes it to be missing at every angle and zoom.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Nintendog returns as an Assist Trophy, though in this game it is a Toy Poodle. As the Living Room from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS returns, a number of Nintendogs also appear. All three Nintendogs that have appeared as Assist Trophies in the series appear as spirits, tying with Andross, Waluigi, and Zero for having the most spirits for an Assist Trophy.
The series name "Nintendogs" is not capitalized in this game, matching the stylization of the series' name.
Super Mario Odyssey
The fedora-wearing Shiba Inu that appears throughout Super Mario Odyssey is a Nintendog.[2] Mario can play fetch with the dog by throwing Cappy, whom the dog will then retrieve. It shows up in various kingdoms after the kingdom's boss has been defeated. The dog appears in the Sand Kingdom, Seaside Kingdom, Metro Kingdom, Moon Kingdom (wearing a space helmet), and Mushroom Kingdom, where it leads Mario to buried coins and Power Moons. Furthermore, in the other kingdoms left, the dog appears inside the Odyssey after finishing the game at least once. A Toad in the Mushroom Kingdom claims to be the dog's owner. Also, if Mario falls asleep, the dog will fall asleep next to him. The dog is also seen in attendance at the wedding of Bowser and Princess Peach. The dog's fedora cannot be removed, indicating it cannot be captured. It also occasionally barks at enemies.

|
DS nintendogs (08/2005) 3DS nintendogs + cats (03/2011) |
This is one of the many adorable dogs you can care for in nintendogs + cats. It's hard for them to wag their little tails, but they make up for it with that cute face. In Smash Bros., they want to get right up in your face, blocking your view of the battle. They just want to be loved! |
| Nintendo 3DS version only | |||
| Toy Poodle | 
|
N/A | Those adorable eyes and curly hair may remind people of teddy bears more easily than dogs. But unlike a stuffed animal, these dogs are active and love to play. One reason the dogs are so popular is that they are quite easy to train. They appear in Toy Poodle & New Friends. |
| Shiba Inu | 
|
N/A | The Shiba is one of the oldest breeds in the world. These Japanese dogs can be very loyal, and in the past their agility and active nature proved useful to their owners on hunting trips. You can look after and train one of these dogs in Golden Retriever & New Friends. |
| Beagle | 
|
N/A | Hunting wild rabbits used to be a popular sport in England, and the beagle, an active and playful breed, was a popular companion for it. Perhaps sleeping beagles nowadays dream of chasing rabbits like their ancestors. You can choose this breed in Golden Retriever & New Friends. |
| Jack Russell Terrier | 
|
N/A | This breed originated in England and is especially good at chasing foxes. With no foxes in the living room, though, it'll chase toys instead. Terriers are tough, athletic, and curious–a perfect fit for someone who is the same! You can choose this breed in Toy Poodle & New Friends. |
| Golden Retriever | 
|
N/A | This large breed was originally from Scotland and was used to hunt waterfowl. They're smart but way to friendly to make good guard dogs. They come in a variety of shades, but all members of the breed share the same golden color. This breed is included in Golden Retriever & New Friends. |

Trivia
- There are many Super Mario references in the Nintendogs series. The player can find hats that are the same as Mario's and Luigi's, as well as various toys. These include Mario, Princess Peach, and Bowser karts in the first game (designed with their Mario Kart DS kart style), which can be driven around the room while they play music from courses in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, as well as Mushroom and ? Block toys to throw around. In the second game, the Mario and Peach karts return, while the Bowser kart is replaced by a Yoshi kart.
