Condarts are enemies appearing in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They are small yellow birds with a red face, stubby black feet, and a huge beak with a black tip. Their English name is a portmanteau of "condor" and "dart".[1]

Condarts first appear in the level Condarts Away! They are merely seen flying in one spot until they spot the player, at which point they will dart towards the player in the direction they were facing, either horizontally (if they are facing left or right) or downwards (if they are looking down), though they will get their beak stuck in place if they fly into an impenetrable object, similar to Conkdors. If they become stuck, they struggle for a few seconds to pull themselves out of the object by using their wings to push against it before eventually popping out and slowly flying back to their original location. They can also destroy Brick Blocks.
