| '''Birdos''' are brightly-colored, large-snouted creatures from the ''[[Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series. In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', only one Birdo is shown to exist; [[Birdo|she]] is named after her species, and is later developed into a major character in numerous spin-offs. ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' is the first source in which other Birdos appear. Other Birdos later appear as spectators in various ''Mario'' titles, starting in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', and make playable appearances in ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' and ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''.
| |
| | |
| Birdos have the ability to shoot [[Birdo Egg|egg]]s and [[fireball]]s out of their mouth. They are sometimes associated with [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] because both species use eggs as projectiles.
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| ===''Super Mario Bros. 2''===
| |
| [[File:Birdos.png|frame]]
| |
| [[Birdo]] is first encountered as a boss serving under [[Wart]]. Depending on the encounter, she appears pink, red or grey (green in the remakes) and has different abilities. When she's pink she shoots [[Birdo Egg|eggs]], when she's grey or green she uses [[fireball]]s and when she's red she shoots both.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]'', Birdo's alternate colors were reimagined as three separate characters and voiced by different voice actors.
| |
| | |
| ===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''===
| |
| Birdos appeared in various episodes of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' as part of the [[Koopa Troop|Koopa Pack]].
| |
| | |
| ===="The Unzappables"====
| |
| In "[[The Unzappables]]", a Birdo with a mustache wearing a tuxedo and a top hat can be seen dancing with an Ostro in the [[Koopa Klub]].
| |
| | |
| ===Nintendo Comics System===
| |
| [[Image:NCS Birdo1.JPG|thumb|Mario defeating the Birdo guard in a Nintendo Comics System comic.]]
| |
| As seen in the Nintendo Comics System comics "[[Bedtime for Drain-Head]]" and "[[Betrayal Most Proper]]", after losing control of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], Bowser employed Birdos as castle guards. Mario came to grips with these guards on two occasions. Under the delusion that he was [[Dirk Drain-Head]] in "Bedtime for Drain-Head," Mario entered [[Bowser's Castle]] to save Toad. After laying waste to a large number of enemies outside of the castle, a Birdo blocked Mario's path as he tried to enter the castle, shooting eggs at him. However, Mario quickly picked them up and threw them back, defeating this Birdo as he had defeated the Birdo in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. The second occasion, in "Betrayal Most Proper," Mario and [[Toad]] were attempting to rescue [[Wooster]] when they were attacked by Birdos in [[Bowser's Castle]]. When Mario and Toad's movement was impaired by a conveyor belt moving in the opposite direction they were running, the Birdos began firing eggs. Rather than defeat the Birdos, the rescuers simply ran onwards.

| ===''Mario Tennis'' series===
| |
| Many different colored Birdos appear as background NPCs in cutscenes in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' for the GameCube, most notably the red Birdo in Bowser's trophy acceptance cutscene.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Strikers'' series===

| |
| Soccer is the one sport that a substantial number of Birdos participate. In the original ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' tournaments, teams of Birdos can be selected by certain high-profile captains to help them achieve victory. When compared to the other species involved, members of the Birdo species are the most aggressive, scoring the hard hits against opponents necessary in the sport. The events are also a huge draw for Birdo spectators.
| |
| | |
| The next iteration of the sport, ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', also draws much attention from the Birdo species as a whole. Once again, multiple Birdos compete as sidekick players, this time breaking away from all Birdo teams and playing alongside other species. And again, Birdos are one of the many species filling the stadiums.
| |
| | |
| | |
| The following is a list of Birdo colors appearing in ''Mario Strikers Charged''.
