The Thunderbirdo[1] is a purple, colossal Birdo who only appears in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Toad Warriors." Its name is a portmanteau of "Thunderbird" and "Birdo."
King-of-the-Road Koopa, attacking the Rebel Fort in Car Land, gives Mouser orders to call for the Thunderbirdo, a member of the Koopa Pack whom he brings forward on a car, to use in the attack. Once in position, the Thunderbirdo fires a giant egg at the Rebel Fort, which explodes violently upon the building, heavily damaging it. After this first attack on the Rebel Fort, the Thunderbirdo continues blasting the building with more explosive eggs.
Later, after Mario and Princess Toadstool drive away from the semi-demolished Rebel Fort in a spaghetti sauce tanker truck, the Thunderbirdo, riding a car driven by Mouser, tries attacking them. Before the Thunderbirdo fires an egg at the tanker truck, Princess Toadstool, who is riding on the truck's top, throws a Bob-Omb bag into the Thunderbirdo's snout. The Thunderbirdo unwittingly swallows it on reflex, causing it to blow up.
When the Thunderbirdo is introduced, its lower body is depicted as green with a yellow belly rather than purple with a white belly; later, just before its explosion, the shot of a panicked Mouser also shows its tail as green.
