Albatosses are bird enemies that appear in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and its Western counterpart, Super Mario Bros. 2. The enemy's name is a portmanteau of "albatross" and "toss," which refers to its attack method.
History
Super Mario series
Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic / Super Mario Bros. 2
In Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2, Albatosses used to be normal residents of Subcon until Wart took control.[1] Albatosses carry Bob-Ombs and drop them, attempting to hit one of the playable characters: Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, or Toad. An Albatoss can be defeated if the player's character throws a vegetable at it or touches it under the Starman effects. Unlike most other enemies, Albatosses cannot be picked up and thrown. If an Albatoss flies low enough, the character can jump on its back and ride on it. World 6-2 and World 7-1 require the player's character to ride Albatosses to reach otherwise inaccessible parts of the level; these Albatosses do not carry Bob-Ombs.
Super Mario All-Stars / Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3
An Alabatoss makes a cameo appearance in both the Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 versions of Super Mario Bros. 3, where the king of The Sky is turned into an Albatoss; in the original version, he is turned into a regular bird.
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!
Template:Quote2 Albatosses make a few appearances in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! They are usually used as bombers by King Koopa, and they sometimes capture Mario and company in nets. Albatosses are also seen in the show's intro. In this show, they have a dark-brownish head, instead of matching their bodies' red color.
In the episode "Jungle Fever," Mario and his friends ride an Albatoss to get off the bridge King Koopa sliced. The one in this episode is shown to be able to speak, as shown after getting a Birdo egg on its face. Koopa's rocket also slightly resembles the head of an Albatoss. Additionally, the character Hooded Robin somewhat resembles an Albatoss.

King Koopa's Kool Kartoons
In King Koopa's Kool Kartoons, an Albatoss would deliver mail to King Koopa's character.[2] The Albatoss was a brown bird prop dangled with strings to simulate it flying.
Super Mario-kun
In a part of Super Mario-kun, an Albatoss carries Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi, but then it hurls them into a wall.
Profiles
Super Mario Bros. 2 / Super Mario Advance
- Super Mario Bros. 2 instruction booklet: "He used to be only a resident in the world of dreams. Now, by order of Wart, he works as a carrier of Bob-Ombs."
- Super Mario Advance instruction booklet: "Albatosses were just average residents of Subspace until Wart ordered them to carry Bob-ombs about."

Trivia
- In Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, Albatosses move at two frames, while in Super Mario Bros. 2, they move at seven frames; an eighth frame exists, showing the wings moving back upwards, but is unused due to a glitch.[12] The Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance remakes restore the missing frame.
- In the Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten, Albatosses are erroneously referred to as pterosaurs and simultaneously listed as "dinosaurs" for their species category.[13] While modern scientific consensus is that birds are indeed a subspecies of dinosaur, pterosaurs were phylogenetically separate reptiles.
