Since her first appearance, Birdo appeared in various spin-off | Since her first appearance, Birdo appeared in various spin-off games of the ''Super Mario'' franchise, with her original role as an antagonist being ostensibly scrapped in favor of a newer role as a more neutral character. However, she continues to be occasionally classified as an enemy, as is the case with the [[Super Mario Trading Card Collection|''Super Mario'' Trading Card Collection]] and her being grouped with typically antagonistic characters in the driver list of ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. Some games portray her as a close friend or even significant other of [[Yoshi]], while others show her simply allying with whoever catches her interest at that moment. Birdo has also been merchandised into figurines, plush toys, and [[amiibo]] [[List of Mario Sports Superstars amiibo cards|cards]]. | ||
While Birdo is often portrayed as an individual character, there have also been many appearances of multiple Birdos that come in different colors and that sometimes have different characteristics. In most cases, these are depicted with the same feminine characteristics as the main Birdo. | While Birdo is often portrayed as an individual character, there have also been many appearances of multiple Birdos that come in different colors and that sometimes have different characteristics.

The first appearance of Birdo is in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' | The first appearance of Birdo is in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', then in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. She is a boss character serving [[Wart]], and appears in most levels, with the exception of the third level in the first three worlds, as well as the first level of the fourth. Birdo comes in three colors: '''Pink Birdo'''<ref name=color>{{cite|author=Stratton, Bryan|title=''Super Mario Advance'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=9|date=June 7, 2001|isbn=0-7615-3633-7|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us}}</ref> shoots [[Birdo's Egg|eggs]] from her snout, '''Red Birdo'''<ref name=color/> shoots eggs and [[fireball]]s, and '''Green Birdo'''<ref name=color/> only shoots fireballs. In the NES version, Green Birdo also appears as gray in [[World 5-1 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 5-1]] and [[World 7-1 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 7-1]]. Originally, their in-game bows were very small, but the SNES version and other subsequent remakes make them bigger, resembling the size in artwork, and color them orange for the red and green Birdos. | ||

Birdo generally walks back and forth, facing the player character and spitting three projectiles at a given time. To defeat her, the player has to [[jump]] on her eggs or another object and throw them back at her. However, if Birdo is green, the player is required to throw [[Mushroom Block]]s instead. Birdo often holds a [[Crystal Ball]], with three exceptions: Pink Birdo's appearance as a standard enemy in [[World 4-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4-3]], and two Red Birdos in [[World 7-2 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 7-2]], one of which relinquishes a [[key]] needed to get to the [[Mask Gate]] leading to Wart.

Birdo is shown physically holding the ball in ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' and the original ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', although this is harder to see in the latter due to the crystal ball not having the animated red line. In remakes of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', it instead flies from her snout upon defeat. Unlike the remakes, if the player walks away from the Mask Gate after opening it instead of entering it, Birdo will respawn without the Crystal Ball. | ||
The ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' cast roll mistakenly labels Birdo as [[Ostro]] (and vice versa), an unrelated enemy. Later prints of the manual switch their names around as well, but keep the "birdetta" note on the one now labeled "Ostro" despite the inconsistency. | The ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' cast roll mistakenly labels Birdo as [[Ostro]] (and vice versa), an unrelated enemy. Later prints of the manual switch their names around as well, but keep the "birdetta" note on the one now labeled "Ostro" despite the inconsistency. | ||
In the remake ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', there is also a robotic Birdo boss named [[Robirdo]], who takes over [[Mouser]]'s position as the boss of [[World 3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3]]. ''Super Mario Advance'' is also notable for being one of the last games to give Birdo understandable voice acting, as further games would simply allow her to emit honking noises. In this game, Birdo speaks clear sentences such as, ''"This is as far as you go!"'' and ''"Well, hello there!"''. She is portrayed by [[Jen Taylor]] and has the highest-pitched voice out of the different colors, with red and green having sequentially lower voices. The other Birdos have different dialogue lines, implying that they are separate individuals, although Green Birdo's line, ''"I'm ready for you this time!"'', implies that she had fought Mario previously. In this version, the player can steal the bows from Red and Green Birdos, making them resemble their original NES sprites, which have much smaller bows. Throwing a bow back at the Birdo places it back on their head. The cast roll mixup with Ostro and Birdo is also fixed. | |||

While she is in Shelly, she asks Mario to play with her. The battle with her begins when Mario accepts her request. After Mario and his team attack Shelly enough, Birdo hatches from it. She attacks by spitting eggs at the group. After the group attacks her back, she can spit out singular eggs called [[Eggbert]]s. Defending against these eggs cause them to bounce off and surround Birdo's nest. Attacking the Eggberts cause them to explode and hurt Birdo. After her defeat, she gives Mario the [[Castle Key 2]].

She appears next to [[Yoshi]], and the two are seen to be very affectionate. In this game, like Yoshi and [[Baby Mario]], Birdo competes as a speed player, meaning she has a fast running speed. In the intro of ''Mario Tennis'', Birdo is seen entering the court after [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]], and loses to [[Princess Peach]] in the tournament (allowing the latter to move on to a semi-finals match against [[Luigi]]). Later, she is seen with Paratroopa and Yoshi, when [[Bowser]] interrupts the fun. Her own court can be unlocked when the player wins the Star Cup with Birdo in doubles. Also, when the player chooses [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] in the double tournament mode, Birdo would be her default partner. When two players play as Birdo, the color palette changes to blue with a magenta ribbon. This is the first game to introduce Birdo's emblem, which is her ribbon.

In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Birdo debuted in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', as a stage element of [[Mushroom Kingdom II]], which depicts Birdo in her two-dimensional ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' sprite. Birdo comes out from the side of the stage and shoot eggs, hurting any player who comes in contact with them. Like in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', these eggs could be jumped upon and picked up by the playable characters. Birdo can easily be destroyed by a strong attack, however. The Mushroom Kingdom II stage from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', and by extension, Birdo in her ''Super Mario All-Stars''-based sprite form. | |||
Birdo has also appeared in the form of collectible items. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', there is a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of Birdo that is obtained as a random drop, and unlocked alongside the trophy is the Mushroom Kingdom II stage. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', a pink Birdo appears as a trophy, but unlike in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', it does not depict Birdo in a sprite-base form. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Birdo appears in the form of a trophy again, and it depicts her winking and standing near a [[Birdo's Egg]], as well as featuring information about her appearances in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Birdo appears as both an online profile icon and Ace-class Grab-type primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros.

[[File: | [[File:Birdomss.PNG|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Birdo in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'']] | ||
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Birdo helps the heroes by disguising herself as [[Princess Peach]] when [[Cackletta]] and [[Fawful]] visit the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. When Cackletta attempts to steal the princess's voice, she gets Birdo's instead. Then, when the [[Beanish]] witch tried to use the "pure" voice to awaken the [[Beanstar]], it went berserk. All of this is not revealed until later in the game, when [[Toadsworth]] and Peach explained the situation to the Mario Bros. As they spoke, Birdo appears and starts wildly chasing two of [[Lady Lima]]'s [[Pea]]s, after winking at them flirtatiously. | In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Birdo helps the heroes by disguising herself as [[Princess Peach]] when [[Cackletta]] and [[Fawful]] visit the [[Mushroom Kingdom]].

As they spoke, Birdo appears and starts wildly chasing two of [[Lady Lima]]'s [[Pea]]s, after winking at them flirtatiously. | ||
Sometime later, Birdo replaces [[Bowser]] as [[Popple]]'s "Rookie" out of her mad love for the Beanish crook. Oddly, she is now an enemy of the Mario Bros., even though she had been a helper before in the game. Birdo is a powerful opponent, as one of her attacks involves sucking in Mario or Luigi into her snout, chewing on them before spitting them out. If Birdo is successful in this, it will not only hurt the unfortunate Mario Bro. she sucked up, but will also restore her own [[Heart Point|HP]]. The only way to dodge this attack is to hit Birdo with a [[hammer]] as her target is drawn near, making it unavoidable if Popple succeeds in stealing the targeted Bro's hammer beforehand. She can also spit out flaming eggs in a wild, sporadic way. Mario and Luigi must time their jumps to avoid the eggs and the resulting flame each of them creates after their impact. Birdo can also inhale Popple to place him inside one of four protective but deadly egg shields. One egg holds Popple; the other three each contain [[Bob-omb]]s that will rush forward after their egg is broken open and need to be jumped over. The main difference between Birdo's and Popple's first Rookie's attack patterns, however, is that Birdo won't counterattack the Mario Bros. if they attack Popple first, making them both easier to defeat. Birdo, however, becomes stronger after Popple has been beaten, as she turns red and says "You may have defeated my darling, but that's as far as you go!" In this state, her attack power is much higher and she now targets both bros. with her egg attack instead of just one and does it much faster. | |||

After Popple and Birdo fail in their attempt to destroy the Mario brothers, Popple blames it all on Birdo and even goes as far as to fire his latest apprentice. Birdo responds by furiously knocking him away through a wall and ending their relationship. She then gives a short speech about her new dedication to strive towards super-stardom, expresses her anger at Mario and Luigi, and runs away. Although Cackletta stole Birdo's voice, she is still able to speak when [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] battle her and Popple. This appears to be an error in the game, but Birdo may have gotten her voice back after Cackletta used it on the Beanstar. | After Popple and Birdo fail in their attempt to destroy the Mario brothers, Popple blames it all on Birdo and even goes as far as to fire his latest apprentice.

Birdo is imprisoned for using the female bathroom, as the transphobic robot jailer does not believe her when she insists she is a girl.

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 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.

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.

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.

Birdo is somewhat vain, as she perceives herself to be very beautiful and feminine, and often strikes eccentric poses to show off her appearance. Also, she is portrayed to be very friendly, and enjoys being with the whole ''Mario'' crew. This is shown when losing a round of 18 in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]''. She also exudes charm and elegance as shown in many games whenever she wins or appears on-screen, where she waves and blows kisses frequently. Additionally, Birdo always wears a massive diamond ring on her finger. In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', when Birdo gets a [[Star]], she shows off this ring during one of her poses. Birdo appears to enjoy the spotlight, as shown in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series, where she occasionally puts on a singing or theatrical performance in front of Mario and other characters. Her penchant for singing is also alluded to in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where she is shown on banners advertising the Sydney Music Festival in [[Sydney Sprint]]. According to [[Play Nintendo]], Birdo's favorite things are (in no particular order) friends, big red bows, and sparkly things.<ref> | Birdo is somewhat vain, as she perceives herself to be very beautiful and feminine, and often strikes eccentric poses to show off her appearance.

Always looking for love, Birdo has had a variety of crushes and relationships throughout her life. Birdo is very flirtatious and affectionate with others, even when she does not know them very well, as evidenced in ''[[Fortune Street]]'' where her dialogue is very playful, flirty and endearing. This is also seen in Birdo's relationship with [[Popple]] in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' where she expresses her high opinion of love and romance, explaining her flirtatious nature and drive to find love. The effect of these whirlwind romances on Birdo have only been hinted at in her [[Egg Shot]] move in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', which sends broken hearts flying; this is a stark contrast to [[Princess Peach|Princess Peach's]] [[Heart Shot]]. | Always looking for love, Birdo has had a variety of crushes and relationships throughout her life.
