ToadstoolTour Birdo Mugshot

Birdo is a medium-weight character who rides medium bikes and karts.


Background[]

Birdo lives in the Mushroom Kingdom. She's a medium weight character. She debuted in Super Mario Bros. 2, as a boss; she spat eggs out of her mouth at the character. Since then, she's taken on more friendly roles in spin-off games, even having some romantic ties with Yoshi. Birdos are probably a sub-species of Yoshis. They come in different colors. In some games she has a normal voice, but she mostly makes roaring sounds.

Trivia[]

  • Her boyfriend is Yoshi.
  • Birdo is widely considered to be transgender, based on her entry in the North American manual for Super Mario Bros. 2 which uses "he" to refer to the character. Although, this has never been directly confirmed within any Mario game.
