'''Sheep''' are a species of animal that have appeared on both [[Mushroom World]] and [[Earth]] that are responsible for the production of wool. In the ''Mario'' series they have the ability to induce sleep and often appear in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] where this ability is put to plenty of use. Males are known as '''[[Ram]]s''' while females are referred to as '''Ewes'''.  
Throughout the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'']] franchise, '''sheep''' often appear in association with the act of sleeping, a reference to the practice of {{wp|counting sheep}} to put oneself to sleep. For instance, they are depicted as the symbol of the [[Sleep]] status ailment in role-playing games, or as a visual motif in the [[Falling Asheep]] microgame of ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' and the [[Snooze Ewes]] [[Gaddget]] of ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. However, ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' and ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'' forgo this association, featuring sheep as interactive elements of gameplay in settings based on {{wp|animal husbandry}}.

====''Sheep Rustle Hustle''====
In ''Super Mario Odyssey'', sheep are always seen wearing sombreros, which means they cannot be [[capture]]d. Sheep run away from Mario, and run faster if Mario is too close. They can be launched forward by hitting them with a [[Cap Throw]], the [[Jaxi]], with [[Yoshi]]'s tongue, or by landing near one with a [[Ground Pound]]. Sheep are unaffected by being [[stomp]]ed, including landing on the sheep with a Ground Pound. Directly after being hit, they briefly run at the higher speed in the direction the were launched in. Sheep usually cannot walk off of a platform, instead sticking to the edge. If a sheep touches a [[cactus]], it dashes in the opposite direction, ignoring Mario and even knocking him over if they collide. Hitting them with an attack, excluding stomps, launches them and negates this state. If a sheep falls off the map, touches [[poison]], sinks into [[quicksand]], falls into water deep enough to swim in, or enters the fountain in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], it disappears and respawns in a puff of smoke at its original position.

Sheeps make their debut appearance in ''[[The Saturday Supercade]]'' episode "[[Sheep Rustle Hustle]]". In the episode a group of Sheep rustlers attempted to steal a herd of Sheep from the farm of a boy named Biff, but with the help of [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] and his friend [[Bones]], they manage to save the Sheep and capture the rustlers.  


===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
Two [[Power Moon]]s can be obtained by guiding a number of lost sheep to their owners. Each situation ends with a space that has raised edges, which the sheep can be lured or launched into but cannot run back out of. A tune plays when a sheep enters as an indicator. If a sheep leaves, an alternate tune plays. Three sheep appear [[Sand Kingdom]]. They belong to an unnamed [[Tostarenan]], who asks [[Mario]] to regroup them as they all escaped. After Mario herds them back to the the Tostarenan's stone pen, he rewards Mario with the "[[List of Power Moons in the Sand Kingdom#Herding Sheep in the Dunes|Herding Sheep in the Dunes]]" Power Moon. After the game's finale, another sheep challenge opens up. A Toad in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]] lost six sheep, and rewards Mario with the "[[List of Power Moons in the Mushroom Kingdom#Herding Sheep at Peach's Castle|Herding Sheep at Peach's Castle]]" Power Moon for returning them to their grassy enclosure. The tune does not play for the final sheep in either case, possibly because the Power Moon jingle is used to indicate the Power Moon appearing.
[[File:Sheep.png|frame|left]]
Sheep make their first appearance in a ''Mario'' game in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. An [[item]] known as the [[Mystery Egg (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Mystery Egg]] can be bought by [[Mario]] from the [[Treasure Hunting Toad]], if used ten times the egg will hatch into a Lamb who will then say "You're a great shepherd!" and the Mystery Egg will become the item [[Lamb's Lure]]. A Sheep can be summoned with the use of Lamb's Lure and after being summoned the Sheep will turn an enemy into a Sheep, then both the Sheep and the transformed enemy will fly off the screen. The Lamb's Lure can also be upgraded into the item [[Sheep Attack]], this item can summon an entire flock of Sheep which turn all the enemies on screen into Sheep which will then fly off. These items do not work on bosses or large enemies.


===''Paper Mario'' series===
The [[Wooded Kingdom]] features a area inside a [[Moon Pipe]] with two sheep challenges. Mario must use [[Cappy]] to push a sheep through an obstacle course, so that it can enter an iron enclosure of its [[Steam Gardener]] owner's creation. Another sheep is located on platforms that are much higher up, and its Steam Gardener owner asks Mario to show them how to get this sheep into the same enclosure as the first sheep. The only way to get this sheep into the circle is to launch the sheep over the gap. Each sheep is is tied to a different Power Moon, the first being "[[List of Power Moons in the Wooded Kingdom#Herding Sheep Above the Forest Fog|Herding Sheep Above the Forest Fog]]" and the second being "[[List of Power Moons in the Wooded Kingdom#Herding Sheep on the Iron Bridge|Herding Sheep on the Iron Bridge]]". Both of them are rewarded by the first Steam Gardener. The second one congrats Mario on technique. The jingle for sheep does not play here. In this scenario, the sheep are capable of walking off the platforms. The Steam Gardeners stand alongside the starting position of their sheep, instead of in the enclosure.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', an item known as [[Sleepy Sheep]] appears in the game which can be used to summon a large flock of Sheep which will put most enemies on the field to [[sleep]]. The item does not work on bosses though.

“Ain't these sheep fluffy? Sometimes I wish I was a fluffy sheep... Ah, er...what was I sayin'? Oh, yeah. Try not to bump into the sheep when you're playin' golf. Yeah.”
—Monty Mole, Mario Golf: Super Rush

Throughout the Super Mario franchise, sheep often appear in association with the act of sleeping, a reference to the practice of counting sheep to put oneself to sleep. For instance, they are depicted as the symbol of the Sleep status ailment in role-playing games, or as a visual motif in the Falling Asheep microgame of WarioWare: Twisted! and the Snooze Ewes Gaddget of Mario Party Advance. However, Super Mario Odyssey and Mario Golf: Super Rush forgo this association, featuring sheep as interactive elements of gameplay in settings based on animal husbandry.

History[edit]

Super Mario Odyssey[edit]

In Super Mario Odyssey, sheep are always seen wearing sombreros, which means they cannot be captured. Sheep run away from Mario, and run faster if Mario is too close. They can be launched forward by hitting them with a Cap Throw, the Jaxi, with Yoshi's tongue, or by landing near one with a Ground Pound. Sheep are unaffected by being stomped, including landing on the sheep with a Ground Pound. Directly after being hit, they briefly run at the higher speed in the direction the were launched in. Sheep usually cannot walk off of a platform, instead sticking to the edge. If a sheep touches a cactus, it dashes in the opposite direction, ignoring Mario and even knocking him over if they collide. Hitting them with an attack, excluding stomps, launches them and negates this state. If a sheep falls off the map, touches poison, sinks into quicksand, falls into water deep enough to swim in, or enters the fountain in the Mushroom Kingdom, it disappears and respawns in a puff of smoke at its original position.

Two Power Moons can be obtained by guiding a number of lost sheep to their owners. Each situation ends with a space that has raised edges, which the sheep can be lured or launched into but cannot run back out of. A tune plays when a sheep enters as an indicator. If a sheep leaves, an alternate tune plays. Three sheep appear Sand Kingdom. They belong to an unnamed Tostarenan, who asks Mario to regroup them as they all escaped. After Mario herds them back to the the Tostarenan's stone pen, he rewards Mario with the "Herding Sheep in the Dunes" Power Moon. After the game's finale, another sheep challenge opens up. A Toad in the Mushroom Kingdom lost six sheep, and rewards Mario with the "Herding Sheep at Peach's Castle" Power Moon for returning them to their grassy enclosure. The tune does not play for the final sheep in either case, possibly because the Power Moon jingle is used to indicate the Power Moon appearing.

The Wooded Kingdom features a area inside a Moon Pipe with two sheep challenges. Mario must use Cappy to push a sheep through an obstacle course, so that it can enter an iron enclosure of its Steam Gardener owner's creation. Another sheep is located on platforms that are much higher up, and its Steam Gardener owner asks Mario to show them how to get this sheep into the same enclosure as the first sheep. The only way to get this sheep into the circle is to launch the sheep over the gap. Each sheep is is tied to a different Power Moon, the first being "Herding Sheep Above the Forest Fog" and the second being "Herding Sheep on the Iron Bridge". Both of them are rewarded by the first Steam Gardener. The second one congrats Mario on technique. The jingle for sheep does not play here. In this scenario, the sheep are capable of walking off the platforms. The Steam Gardeners stand alongside the starting position of their sheep, instead of in the enclosure.

If Mario obtains all four Power Moons from herding sheep, the player can unlock the "Master Sheep Herder" achievement by speaking with Toadette.
