Honestly, Birdetta’s animations in the new Strikers game made me realize how much I like her, she’s got a very different vibe from most of the other characters but it feels so natural for the series. I also like her design, makes me wish they’d put more ‘creature’ish character designs like her and Yoshi into the playable character rotations for the spin-offs, instead of just regular enemies

Birdetta started as a punching bag for me and my friends back in Mario Tennis on the N64. We thought she was gross with her big face hole, obnoxious bow and gaudy diamond ring. We would always set her as the NPC to gang up on, but over the years I’ve grown to love her. She is now my go to character whenever possible, and my top Amiibo wishlist character.

She's been correctly gendered while still being called "Birdo" several more times than "Birdetta" has been used in any context, so if the idea ever was that she wanted to change her name I guess she decided not to. But also, with the Japanese equivalents being Catherine and Cathy, that probably wasn't the intent anyway; she just likes being called by cute nicknames.

I’ve always kinda thought that Birdo’s gender was done originally as a joke as that type of humor was once pretty funny in Japan, but as it became a more sensitive topic, Nintendo started straying further and further away from it until they just canonized her as a female. Like, Nintendo doesn’t participate in pride month, and if they did, Birdo would be a prime mascot. But birdo IS, however, featured on international women’s day.

I thought I liked Birdetta before, but she stays after parties to help clean up? That's rad. I kind of hope that there's more Yoshi/Birdie stuff in the future. Popple was no good for her and she didn't even know Nick. Who can you ask that'd say "Yoshi's a bad guy"? I mean, Birdie probably got bullied a lot growing up in the time period her write up was printed in the 夢 工場 : ドキドキ パニック instruction manual. I digress... dating Yoshi, Birdie might develop a healthier self esteem; tell the heads at Nintendo and be like "I, the canon birdo want to be referred to as Birdetta... and if you don't Yoshi's going on strike!" or some shit idk. I still go by my old name on the day to day... fuck it, at least it's androgynous. lol Maybe they break up because he can't support her in that way. In an RPG setting like スーパーマリオRPG 2 mayhaps. But maybe she doesn't need Yoshi to become a "Superstar", maybe I'm projecting... maybe it's Maybelline. But I'm definitely stoned.

Considering just how much Birdetta just wants a proper relationship, and the whole Yoshi thing isn't really a thing anymore, I'm not surprised with her depiction in Captain Rainbow. Bopple didn't want her, Yoshi eventually stopped being shipped woth her, and now whether she has any interest in anyone else is purely optional in recent games (and that does include Mario in Origami King). Also, it made my day to see Birdetta say, "I hope you get *****!"

Daisy was never made as "Luigi's girlfriend", she debuted in Super Mario Land, a game Luigi wasn't even featured in, as the damsel in distress of the game, replacing Peach likely due to the fact that the game takes place in a different kingdom, Sarasaland, instead of Peach's Mushroom Kingdom. Also Toadette has never been stated to be a love interest for Toad and their relationship seems to be strictly platonic.

You bring up a super good point about Birdetta! The decision by Nintendo's English localization team to continue localizing Catherine's name as "Birdo" is puzzling, particularly given the fact that it primarily just served as a basis for a regrettable two-sentence transphobic "joke" in a NES instruction manual 35 years ago. A significant number of people online may not be aware that the name "Birdo" is, in essence, Birdetta's deadname. By consistently using "Birdo" in successive games, the western divisions of Nintendo have been unfortunately perpetuating an unnecessary slight towards Birdetta's chosen name for over three decades. Ideally, the western branches of Nintendo could rectify this situation by opting for "Birdetta" or "Birdie", names that have been recognized in English localizations as her preferred monikers. However, such a change now could inadvertently bring attention to the fact that she has been deadnamed for all these years, causing potential backlash. Ironically, all this could have been avoided had Nintendo simply preserved her original Japanese name, Catherine! I'm clueless as to why they didn't stick with it in the first place, it fits her way more than either of the "bird" names. 😕

+OmegaGlops Nintendo didn't do what you asked because it was the 1980s! Hahahaha! Nintendo-a Japanese company who is dead center in the midst of Japan-a-phobia with companies like Toyota, Sony, & such taking precedence over American companies only 40-something years after the end of WWII-is selling entertainment to the Children of American Families while the AIDS panic is running wild with Gays as the target. THERE WAS NO ROOM for Controversy under that zeitgeist. You're lucky they pushed Samus Aran as a surprise female protagonist in Metroid let alone allowing the blurb about Birdo's Trans identity to stay intact under the radar in the instruction book. America couldn't even handle the Gays yet much less the Trans & ESPECIALLY not from a Japanese company who could be seen as corrupting America's youth. The Videogame Panic was already bad enough to deal with. You gotta understand the times, OmegaGlops. Nintendo is VERY progressive doing those things AT ALL. There was no ESRB back then. Nintendo had to single-handedly win back America's trust in Videogames. There was no room for error ESPECIALLY being a foreign company.

No, the localizers didn't add a "transphobic" joke. They (for some reason) changed the character's name from Catherine to Birdo. The Japanese manual said that Catherine prefers to be called Cathy (Ack!), so the localizers just came up with a similar nickname.

@OmegaGlops Жыл бұрын
@@KasumiKenshirou I think you are missing a key difference. In the original Japanese version, Catherine’s nickname, Cathy, is still a feminine name that is derived from her full name. It’s like calling someone named Jennifer “Jenny” or someone named Elizabeth “Lizzy”. However, the localizers changed Catherine’s name to Birdo, which is not a feminine name at all. It’s not even related to her original name. It’s like calling someone named Jessica “Frogbert” or someone named Samantha “Hawko”. The sound of Birdo also doesn’t convey the same femininity as Cathy or Catherine. While Birdo is not a real name, and we can’t say for sure what gender it implies, the “-o” ending is more common in masculine names in many languages (such as Mario, Leo, Bruno, etc.). The “-etta” ending in Birdetta is more feminine, as it is similar to names like Julietta, Rosetta, Henrietta, etc. So, it makes sense to think that Birdo sounds less feminine than Birdetta, even though this is somewhat subjective. If the localizers wanted to keep the same idea of Catherine having a nickname that she prefers, they could have used Birdetta as her full name and Birdie as her nickname. That would be more consistent with the original Japanese version.

Birdo to me is the weirdest "main" characters of the extended Mario character. She's one of the oldest, but wasn't even designed for Mario. Is more popular than Wart, the final boss or any other boss. Her inclusion in SMRPG was definitely to reference something super obscure, and most likely someone that wouldn't be a main Mario staple. Yet Mario Tennis comes out and suddenly she's not only a good guy, but this main sports and party staple.

To add also, I didn't even mention the whole gender controversy which you'd think is the weirdest part. You know they were trying to joke about it before but time started making the topic a lot more sensitive and they wrote themselves in a hole. I also find it weird that Birdo just suddenly became Yoshi's partner on the sole fact they're both dinosaurs, but by that logic, you could have had any other dinosaur from SMW take his double partner role. Or even just have it be Baby Mario, and Shy Guy for Birdo. At least with characters like Daisy or Waluigi, they are clearly that main characters best friend, but we never once saw Yoshi and Birdo interact before they established them. Regardless, I like Birdo, I just always find it weird how she just rose the ranks of Mario character when so many others were delegated to obscure.

I can't speak for Japanese humour, Lord knows, they have a style completely their own. But in British comedy in the pre-2010's, the PEAK of comedy was either; a straight man being forced to wear women's clothes, or a straight man "accidentally" being attracted to a Trans Woman or someone in Drag, much to their later horror and disgust. I'm glad we don't rely on that kind of humour anymore, but it's dated a lot of media pretty poorly.

Birdo has always been my favorite character, always rooting for the queen to appear whenever there’s a new multiplayer-Mario game coming out
@Fatih_M177 11 ай бұрын
Birdo is honestly the most fun boss character in any game, I especially liked how she was portrayed in Mario advance 1, her voice is so funny and beating her is very satisfying, would like to see her return as a boss in a 2D game But i don't think This specific birdo would be a boss, maybe instead a birdo species but either way the character is still very cool.
@darkmetaknight7 7 ай бұрын
fun fact: Birdo appeared in every instance of the modern Paper Mario games -She has a cameo song in Sticker star -She has another song and is part of a thing attack in Color splash -And she has a minor important role in chapter 2 of Origami king

I kind of wish both Nintendo and Nintendo fans let this character have more characterization to have her stand out. I just find it annoying that whenever Birdo is brought up the conversation always derails to either "Birdo is a dude lmao" or "Birdo is trans". I don't really care about Birdo's gender I'm just annoyed every single time she's brought up everything derails to talk about gender. I'd love for Birdo to have some sort of more prominent role in a game that doesn't have anything to do with her gender.

Considering we've seen a Birdo hatch in SMRPG I'm going to go on the unpopular opinion that Birdo is its own species, much like how Yoshi is its own species. Some can be friendly (Wario's Woods, Mario Party) or others hostile (SMB2) but I don't think every Birdo is the same Birdo across games.

I'd like to see Nintendo make a game featuring Birdo as the main character. Maybe Super Mario 2-related, where Wart comes back (again)...only this time attempts to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom. Naturally, this gets under Bowser's skin as well. (Honestly, having two villains both wanting to "conquer the world", but fighting with each other over wanting to be the one to do it--the story writes itself!)

my headcanon for birdo/birdetta/catherine is that the one in mario rpg is the same as the one in mario 2 (usa), and that she somehow managed to be magically reborn in the waking world. said rebirth also letting her make the switch so hard it became biological.

I'm pretty sure like most people, I started off as not liking birdo as I found her appearance a bit disturbing but once I started playing Mario strikers charged I decided, "Y'know what? I need a good team so what the heck I'll pick birdo." and after realizing she is a BEAST when it came to scoring shots, I grew to like her design more and more overtime. She's one of the few characters that has claws. Yeah that was it, I like Birdo because she has really nice claws and she was a good teammate in strikers.

My interest in her really started as a simple liking for dinosaurs and the color pink. As a 2000s boy, the latter was a HUGE nope in social settings. Unless you wanted to be called "gaaaay". I remember joining my friends in making fun of them and really hating that. When my friends left, I would choose her in Mario Kart Wii, Mario Party 8, Super Sluggers, etc almost as an apology to her lmao Basically, Birdetta's diva-like attitude, overly affectionate personality, wacky design, on and off relationship with Yoshi, and her origins as a villain turned ally to Mario made her waaay more interesting to me when compared to other characters in the series. Plus, I did end up coming out as gay so her queerness made her an instant fan favorite to me and a lot of other queer Mario fans

Birdo y yoshi son super parecidos hasta en sus diseños antiguos de renders pasaron por estilos similares, creo que lo unico que tiene en comun es eso el diseño y por eso nintendo los quiso empatar en un principio pero después ya no quisieron y bueno sus diferencias son: birdo no tiene zapatos y tiene uñas en las manos, yoshi tiene los dedos mas largos, birdo tiene espinas en la espalda y yoshi en la cabeza, yoshi usa como montura un caparazón de koopa en la espalda y birdo no, birdo usa un moño en la cabeza y un anillo 💍, yoshi tiene los párpados mas cortos y birdo los tiene algo mas grandes y pintados, ademas de tener pestañas, Yoshi tiene ojos azules con negro y birdo azul con morado, la parte blanca de yoshi da en sus cachetes y su pecho hasta la cola y la de birdo solo en su estomago y tiene forma de huevo, birdo tiene 2 manchas en los cachetes y yo creo que lo mas diferente es la boca de birdo/ nariz de yoshi y que uno caga huevos y come con su lengua y el otro succiona a sus enemigos y los escupe en huevos
