'''Birdo''' ({{ja|キャサリン|Kyasarin}}, ''Catherine'') is a character from the {{uv|Mario}} series.

 

 

 

===As a [[stage hazard]]===

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.

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.

|desc=First seen in [[Super Mario Bros. 2]], Birdo is known for shooting eggs and fireballs from her mouth. [[Mario]] and his friends would have to jump onto the eggs in midair, pick them up and throw them back at her. Long missing from the [[Nintendo]] scene, Birdo recently reappeared in {{iw|mariowiki|Mario Tennis}} and [[Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Advance]].

|desc=A pink creature of indeterminate gender that some say would rather be called Birdetta. A big ribbon on its head is its most distinguishing feature. In Super Mario Bros. 2, you can return fire on Birdo by jumping on the eggs shot from its mouth. Be careful not to get psyched out by fake-egg fireballs!

|desc-ntsc=Birdo's debut wasn't in a Mario game at all but in a game called Doki Doki Panic. Originally released in Japan, a version of that game made it to the West under a different name. Mario and friends replaced the main characters, and the game was called Super Mario Bros. 2. That's how Birdo joined the Mario Bros. family!

Originally released in Japan, that game made its way to the West with a few changes: Mario and Co. replaced the main characters, and the title was changed to Super Mario Bros. 2. That's how Birdo joined the Mario Bros. family!
