Description
Did you know Birdo has one of the strangest character histories in Super Mario history? 🤯
When Nintendo introduced Birdo in the North American Super Mario Bros. 2 instruction manual, the description raised some eyebrows! Originally described using male pronouns and the name "Birdetta", Birdo's gender has been portrayed differently across Nintendo games and regions over the years.
From being called Catherine in Japan to having an "indeterminate" gender in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Birdo has certainly had an unusual history!
Today, Nintendo generally refers to Birdo as female, but her original backstory remains a fascinating piece of retro gaming history.
