| '''Birdo''' ({{ja|キャサリン|Kyasarin}}, ''Catherine'') is a character from the {{uv|Mario}} series. | | '''Birdo''' is a character that originates from the [[Mario (universe)|''Mario'' universe]] and appears on the [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] stage and as a collectible trophy (which is needed to unlock the Mushroom Kingdom II stage in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''). |
|

|
| ==Origin== | | ==Role in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games== |
| [[File:SMB2bossSNES.png|thumb|left|Birdo as a boss in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', which her appearance in Mushroom Kingdom II is based on.]]
| | Birdo will appear on either side of the screen of the Mushroom Kingdom II stage. It shoots three [[supermariowiki:Birdo Egg|eggs]] from its mouth and then exits on the side of the screen where it came from. Any [[character]] that makes contact with the egg will take [[damage]]. The eggs can be [[shield]]ed, [[jump]]ed on, and [[air grab]]bed. Sometimes [[item]]s come out of the eggs. It is possible to [[KO]] Birdo by attacking it or throwing items at it, but it will return to the stage later on. Birdo will flash blue when it takes damage. A few attacks will KO Birdo. No bonus points are rewarded for doing so. |
| Birdo made her debut in the Japan-only game ''{{s|mariowiki|Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic}}'' (repurposed as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' for international markets) as a recurring boss. She is a pink dinosaur creature with a nozzle-like mouth and a red bow. In her later appearances, she wears a diamond ring. As a boss character, Birdo attacks by spitting eggs at the player. She can be defeated by grabbing the flying eggs and throwing them back at her three times. Later worlds introduce different colored varieties of Birdos which attack by spitting fireballs at the player.

| |
|
| Like much of the content in ''Doki Doki Panic'', Birdo was retained when the game was reworked for its North American release as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Since then, Birdo has appeared in numerous ''Mario'' series games, being a boss once again in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga}}'', and a playable character in many installments of ''Mario'' spinoff series such as ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Party}}''.

|
| Birdo's gender is described as "indeterminate" in ''Brawl'', referencing a long-standing debate in her home series. She was initially described as a male who "thinks he is a girl" in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''{{'}}s instruction booklet, suggesting that she is transgender. Most other game appearances refer to Birdo as female, but usually ignore her transgender identity as a whole. One mission in the 2008 [[Wii]] game ''{{iw|wikipedia|Captain Rainbow}}'' is based on the gender debate, tasking the player with finding evidence that Birdo is female after she was arrested for using the women's restroom.

| | *Does 24% when thrown normally |
| ===As a [[stage hazard]]===

| | *Breaks when used |
| Birdo appears as a stage hazard in the [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] stage. She appears on either side of the screen and shoots one or three [[egg]]s from her mouth before exiting to the side where it came from. Birdo can be attacked and will temporarily retreat after receiving enough damage.
| | *Will rarely release an item |
| | *It is the only item which will always explode in one circumstance and never explode in another |
|
| |
|
| Birdo's eggs deal [[damage]] to those they hit. These eggs can be [[shield|shielded]] against, [[jump|jumped]] on, knocked away with [[attack|attacks]], and [[air grab|air grabbed]]. When air grabbed they are usable as items that deal 24% damage when thrown normally, explode and deal 49% when smash thrown, and occasionally drop items after breaking. It is the only item in the series that can explode by input rather than chance.
