Waddlewings are enemies that debuted in New Super Mario Bros. U. They are orange flying squirrel-like creatures with brown hands and feet, beady eyes, a red nose and a mouth with two incisor teeth. They also have orange membranes attached to their hands and feet and a cream-colored hindhead, ears and belly.

History

Super Mario series

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

Waddlewing
A Waddlewing carrying a Super Acorn

Waddlewings are common enemies, mainly found in Acorn Plains and sky levels, in New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and their Nintendo Switch version. Most of the time, Waddlewings glide from side to side. When they land, they will walk slowly and try to walk off a ledge to glide in that direction. If they bump into a wall or tree while gliding, they will cling to it for a second and then glide the opposite direction. Waddlewings can also carry Super Acorns and drop them if they are defeated. They behave like the Super Koopas from Super Mario World, but instead of obtaining equilibrium in flight, they will always glide diagonally. Additionally, if they are in the middle of gliding whenever the "paah" plays during the stage music, Waddlewings will perform a front flip. If they are on the ground when the "paah" plays, they will instead tuck and roll.

Mario Party series

In the Mario Party series, Waddlewings appear in a few minigames. In Mario Party: Island Tour, Waddlewings cameo in Starring Artist and Match Faker. In Mario Party 10, Waddlewings appear in Goomba Gallop, where they fly across the screen in an attempt to briefly obscure the players' view, in Mega Goomba's Ladder Leap, where contact with one deducts one point, and in Meanie Match as selectable enemies.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

While Waddlewings themselves don't appear in Mario Kart 8 or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a glider based on them called the Waddle Wing does.

Dr. Mario World

In Dr. Mario World, Waddlewings appear in World 25 after an area is cleared.

Super Mario-kun
