Birdo (キャサリン, Catherine) is a character from the Mario universe.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
Birdo appears as a stage hazard in Mushroom Kingdom II. It appears on either side of the screen, shoot three 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 shielded, jumped on, and air grabbed, and sometimes items come out of them. It is possible to attack Birdo, who flashes blue when taking damage, and even KO it, but no bonus points are awarded and it will return to the stage later on.
Egg damages
- Does 24% when thrown normally
- Does 49% and explodes when smash thrown
- Breaks when used
- Will rarely release an item
- It is the only item which will always explode in one circumstance and never explode in another

Trophy Description
Obtaining the Birdo trophy unlocks Mushroom Kingdom II.
First seen in Super Mario Bros. 2, Birdo is known for shooting eggs and fireballs from her mouth. Mario and friends would have to jump on to the eggs in midair, pick them up and throw them back at her. Long missing from the Nintendo scene, Birdo recently reappeared in Mario Tennis and Super Mario Advance.
Game: Super Mario Bros. 2 (10/88)
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Birdo only appears as a trophy.
Trophy Description
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!
In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
Once again, Birdo only appears as a trophy.
Trophy Description
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!

That's how Birdo joined the Mario Bros. family!
