BIRDO

SLUMBERS INTO BATTLE

Birdo, questionably one of the 8-bit era's most controversial characters. Acting as the Miniboss in the American Super Mario Bros. 2, Birdo's made many cameo appearances in Sports, Party, and RPGs in the years to come. Like Yoshi, there are many different kinds of Birdos- each having different colours, strengths, and weaknesses. But we'll be focusing on the Pink Birdo who's made many appearances.

Birdo's weight is probably around Yoshi's, she's not light as a feather and can take many hits. Her moveset involves some punches and kicks, but any attacks done with her right hand have the "slash" effect, thanks to her diamond ring. Her Up Smash is Yoshi's old Up Smash, involving a fierce headbutt. Birdo can zone her opponents out with projectiles, but her range is certainly lacking when compared to other fighters. Luckily, while she's not as fast as Yoshi, she has average speed, allowing her to get in. She also shares Yoshi's egg shield.

Neutral Special - Egg Shot: This is Birdo's trademark attack. Birdo shoots an egg from her nosemouth! The move is very similar to Diddy Kong's Peanut Popgun and Bowser Jr.'s Cannonball attack, in that you can charge it for more power and velocity. Birdo can fire Eggs behind her in the air for a horizontal recovery!

Side Special - Vacuum: Birdo uses her nosemouth to suck in one opponent. This is a command grab, similar to Bowser's Koopa Claw in Melee and Diddy Kong's Monkey Flip. Birdo can choose where to fire her opponent after sucking them in- Upwards, Downwards, or Forwards. She'll gain momentum in the direction opposite of where her opponent was thrown. The hitbox is surprisingly small on this attack.

Up Special - Pidgit Carpet: The Melee Stage "Mushroom Kingdom 2" featured Birdo in her Super Mario All Stars appearance, but also had a guest spot from a Pidgit, a floating enemy also from Mario Bros. 2. The two partner up for Birdo's Up Special. Birdo grabs onto the Pidget Carpet as it rises, and gently falls- similar to Peach's Parasol. You can cancel the lightly falling into the traditional free falling at any point.

Down Special - Fireball: In Super Mario Bros. 2, only Red and Green Birdos can shoot fire. Birdo will begin to charge the fireball on the first press, pressing again will shoot the fireball. It's similar to most charge moves, so a dodge or a shield cancels the charging. The more you charge, the stronger the attack, but the slower it'll go. A fully charged Fireball will be useful as a close ranged attack, but a basic fireball would be very similar to Birdo's eggs in length. A Fully charged Fireball could be a great edgeguard tool.

Final Smash - Robirdo: Exclusive to Super Mario Advance, Robirdo served as the Boss of World 3 in place of Mouser. When Birdo obtains the Smash Ball, she essentially rides atop the mechanized monstrocity. Like the Landmaster, you can control where Robirdo goes. The strongest part of Robirdo is her massive Egg cannon, so it's best to get foes while their in the air.

Entrance: Birdo jumps out of a Warp Vase, blowing kisses to the camera before landing.

Taunts:
-Birdo fixes her bow.
-Birdo blows a kiss and makes a noise
-Birdo covers her nosemouth and giggles, laughing.

Victory Pose:
-Birdo shoots a few eggs up in the air, before posing at the camera.
-Birdo lands on the ground, spins in place for a bit, before striking a fabulous pose!
-Birdo comes out of her egg shell, winks at the camera, before giggling.

Alt Colours:
-Red
-Green
-Blue
-Grey (Mouser)
-Orange (Boxart)
-Hawkface
-White (White Yoshi)

Assist Trophy:

[spoiler]Sans


One of the two Skeleton Brothers you meet in Undertale, Sans is the lazier brother of Papyrus. He's an adept comedian, pulling out every lame bone joke in the book, much to his brother's chargin'. He is the weakest monster in the underground, with a HP stat of 1, but he doesn't seem interested in fighting.


In actuality, Sans is the last bastion of defense in the world of Undertale if the Fallen Child plans to venture down the Genocide Path. and when summoned in Super Smash Bros? He shares a fraction of his power. You'll have a bad time if you're victim to his power.

After being summoned, Sans will hide his hands down his pockets, essentially looking cool. But if he comes into contact with ANY attack, he will avoid it. It's then when he uses his Blue Attack. Pointing downwards, the opponents are meteored down to the ground. Like Arceus' gravity attack, this has the potential to send them rocketing toward the bottom blast zone, if they're not careful.

Dependent on where Sans is standing, he'll cover the immediate area with bones that rocket upwards every time you land. Giving you only a short time to jump to avoid them. The bones won't send you flying, but they'll do constant damage while you're in them. You'll need a fast reaction time when dealing with Sans.
