Birdo appears as a playable character in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', being available in Wave 4 of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' – Booster Course Pass]] DLC. Most of her voice clips are reused from ''Mario Kart Wii'', while some were reused from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and some are new to the DLC. Similarly to Yoshi and Shy Guy, she has multiple differently-colored variants: pink, orange, yellow, blue, light blue, green, red, black, and white (a total of nine colors). She is once again a middleweight character, sharing statistics with Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, and [[Peachette]]. Art of Birdo also appears on banners in {{classic-link|Tour|Sydney Sprint}}.

Birdo and the rest of her species are dinosaurs with funnel-shaped mouths and a body structure similar to a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], though slightly shorter and with a row of three spikes on the tail, not the head. In several early illustrations, she is depicted as being orange instead of pink, and on the cover of ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', she is depicted with distinct nostrils midway up her snout and what appears to be a tongue in her mouth, though neither of these traits has ever been shown again. In the various iterations of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', her snout ends with a small hole and is somewhat barrel-shaped, inverting while it is open; later games, however, use the latter shape in all situations, likely due to looking that way in her original artwork.

Birdo is mostly pink, with a rounded belly, red tail spikes and purple spots on her cheeks. She has purple eyes, each of which is framed by three long, thin eyelashes. She does not have hair, and instead wears a big red bow atop her head, which is usually her emblem. She has small but pointed claws, with four fingers on each hand and three toes on each foot. More recently, a large diamond ring set in gold is occasionally depicted on her left hand. She has a white belly like a Yoshi, as well as white-padded feet.

Since ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', Birdo commonly wears purple eye makeup. In her team name, "Birdo Bows", from ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', she wears lipstick, which is odd because she does not use lipstick during the game, nor in most of her other appearances. In the Japanese commercial for ''Super Mario All-Stars'', she wears a white stole over an expensive-looking black dress along with a pearl necklace. Overall, however, Birdo's looks have not changed as drastically as many other characters have through the ages.

In addition to eggs, Birdo has also shown the ability to utilize her snout in a manner similar to a vacuum, using it to suck things closer to herself or even swallow them; Birdo displays this ability in both ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', the latter of which also has her leeching away the health of those she sucks up. On occasion, Birdo has enveloped people, including herself, in large eggs, in order to increase defense. She is often classified as all-around in sports games, where she has a great deal of strength. She also has shown this strength when angered in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', when, after discovering that Popple did not actually love her, she knocked him right through a wall, indicating she has super-strength, as well in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' and ''Mario Super Sluggers'' where her strongest stat is batting.

In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', hitting a nice shot while playing as her will cause a rainbow to form similar to Yoshi, but rainbow abilities have since then not been seen. Birdo also has some hints of heart based power similar to Princess Peach as shown in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' in her victory cut-scene and ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'' in her special shot. However, they are not as strong or as useful as Peach's hearts. This often has comedic results, such as when they only succeed in charming Birdo's Golf trophy into the air for a short time until it fell down again, to its owner's great surprise.
