Character Sheet: Birdo (Paper Mario+)

BIRDO

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Oh, Birdo, you strange little creature, you. Birdo appears in Super Mario RPG, Sticker Star, and Color Splash, each time in an increasingly out-of-nowhere cameo appearance. (The trend appears to continue in Origami King). Super Mario RPG is reasonably tied to the plot, as she hatches from an egg Valentina was using as part of her evil scheme, but she doesn't really do a lot during the fight outside of shooting eggs at you. Later in Sticker Star and Color Splash, she puts on a sudden performance at one point and that's about it. I don't know what else there is to say, really.

Here is her moveset:

Standard B: Egg

Side B: Egg Hop

Up B: Pidgit

Down B: Blow a Kiss

Final Smash: Eagle Gate

The gate Birdo stands before will fly into the background, before opening its mouth wide and rushing the stage, swallowing up any enemy caught in its mouth.

Entrance: She will descend on the small platform she appears on in Sticker Star and Color Splash.

Taunts: Maybe her tendency to pace back and forth, also blowing a kiss, doing her whole cabaret musical performance thing.

Next up: Let's cover Petey Piranha, or Petea Piranha, I guess!
