An '''Albatoss''' is a red bird found in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of the words "[[wikipedia:Albatross|albatross]]," a bird, and "toss," which refers to their attack method.

Albatosses make a few appearances in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' They are usually used as bombers by [[Bowser|King Koopa]], and they sometimes capture Mario and company in nets. Albatosses are also seen in the show's intro. In this show, they have a dark-brownish head, instead of matching their bodies' red color.
 
The only episode where an Albatoss has a speaking role is "[[Jungle Fever]]," where Mario and his friends ride one to get off the bridge King Koopa sliced, only for it to get a [[Birdo's Egg|Birdo egg]] on its face. [[Koopa's rocket]] also slightly resembles the head of an Albatoss. Additionally, the character [[Hooded Robin]] somewhat resembles an Albatoss.
 
Albatosses are featured in the following episodes:


One Albatoss, [[Hooded Robin]], was the only "enemy" in the show who was actually nice to [[Mario]] and Co. This Albatoss also had a knack for mimicking others' voices to trick his enemies. In the episode Jungle Fever, Mario and his friends rode an Albatoss to get off of the bridge King Koopa sliced. Also, [[Moon Man Koopa's Spaceship]] resembles the head of an Albatoss.

Albatosses are bird enemies that appear in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and its Western counterpart, Super Mario Bros. 2. They fly with Bob-ombs in their talons and drop them when a player character is below. The enemy's English name is a portmanteau of "albatross" and "toss," which refers to its attack method.

Their means of attack is invocative of bombers and their overall design is similar to large birds of prey in the order Accipitriformes, like eagles, hawks, and Old World vultures. Despite the lack of resemblance, the Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten states that Albatosses are pterosaurs, prehistoric flying reptiles that are unrelated to birds.[1]

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic / Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

In Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2, Albatosses used to be normal residents of Subcon until Wart took control.[2] Albatosses carry Bob-Ombs and drop them, attempting to hit one of the playable characters: Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, or Toad. An Albatoss can be defeated if the player's character throws a vegetable at it or touches it under the Starman effects. Unlike most other enemies, Albatosses cannot be picked up and thrown. If an Albatoss flies low enough, the character can jump on its back and ride on it. World 6-2 and World 7-1 require the player's character to ride Albatosses to reach otherwise inaccessible parts of the level; these Albatosses do not carry Bob-Ombs. Albatosses are seen carrying Bob-Ombs in World 3-3 and World 6-2, while in World 7-2, the Bob-Ombs drop from behind the Albatosses the moment they appear on-screen. The Albatosses with Bob-Ombs in World 6-2 also fly faster than the others seen in the game.

In Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, Albatosses move at two frames, while in Super Mario Bros. 2, they move at seven frames; an eighth frame exists, showing the wings moving back upwards, but is unused due to a glitch.[3] The Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance remakes restore the missing frame.

Super Mario All-Stars / Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

An Alabatoss makes a cameo appearance in both the Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 versions of Super Mario Bros. 3, where the king of The Sky is turned into an Albatoss; in the original version, he is turned into a regular bird.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show![edit]

Albatoss
Three Albatosses carrying Bob-Ombs in the episode "The Bird! The Bird!" of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!
“Albatoss leader to squadron, Bob-Ombs away!”
Albatoss, "Jungle Fever"

Albatosses make a few appearances in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! They are usually used as bombers by King Koopa, and they sometimes capture Mario and company in nets. Albatosses are also seen in the show's intro. In this show, they have a dark-brownish head, instead of matching their bodies' red color.

The only episode where an Albatoss has a speaking role is "Jungle Fever," where Mario and his friends ride one to get off the bridge King Koopa sliced, only for it to get a Birdo egg on its face. Koopa's rocket also slightly resembles the head of an Albatoss. Additionally, the character Hooded Robin somewhat resembles an Albatoss.

Albatosses are featured in the following episodes:

King Koopa's Kool Kartoons[edit]

In King Koopa's Kool Kartoons, an Albatoss would deliver mail to King Koopa's character.[4] The Albatoss was a brown bird prop dangled with strings to simulate it flying.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

Albatoss. From page 70 of volume 6 of Super Mario-kun.

In a part of Super Mario-kun, an Albatoss carries Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi, but then it hurls them into a wall.

Profiles[edit]

  • Super Mario Advance instruction booklet: "Albatosses were just average residents of Subspace until Wart ordered them to carry Bob-ombs about."[page number needed]
