Crows appear in the Super Mario franchise as part of the environment in dark and gloomy areas. The first time that crows appear in the Super Mario franchise is in Luigi's Mansion, but they only gain a more prominent role in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door as inhabitants of Twilight Town, and later in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon as enemies. In addition, several species from the Super Mario franchise, most notably Pidgits and Crowbers, are based on crows.
History[edit]
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]
Crows appear in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on trees in Twilight Town. When Mario talks to them at first, they simply caw; however, when Mario uses Vivian's Veil and hides under a tree, they become much more conversational, thinking they are alone. They discuss a plethora of subjects, ranging from internet stocks to which university their children should attend. Some crows even give tips about gameplay. Vivian explains that they only pretend to be ignorant when people are around. At one point in the game, the crows make a reference to Luigi's Mansion.
Models of the crows from this game make a cameo appearance in Super Paper Mario among Francis' toys.
Luigi's Mansion series[edit]
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon[edit]
Crows[1] appear in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon as enemies, this time being tall and stocky and having eyes on the sides of their heads and black feathers, they are now quite short and lean, and have eyes on the front of their heads and purple feathers. They now also appear in large swarms, whereas in the two aforementioned games, they only appeared in groups of two. They can hurt Luigi, but he can suck them up with the Poltergust 5000 or flash the Strobulb to defeat them, which makes them drop a bill or some hearts. Most crows in the game are found in Haunted Towers. Gold crows[2] also appear and fly in a certain direction before disappearing. When the Strobulb is used on one, it drops five bills.
Luigi's Mansion 3[edit]
A crow in the Garden Suites
Crows appear in Luigi's Mansion 3 as enemies along with gold crows. They behave the same way as in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, but they now also have a swooping attack similar to Crowbers in the New Super Mario Bros. games.
