'''Robirdo'''<ref>''Nintendo Power Advance'' V.1, page 23.</ref><ref>Stratton, Bryan. ''Super Mario Advance'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Pages 10 and 41.</ref><ref>Farkas, Bart G. ''Super Mario Advance'' Official Pocket Guide. Page 49.</ref> (alternatively '''RoBirdo'''<ref>Arnold, J. Douglas, James Yamada, and Mark Elies. ''Super Mario Advance'' Official Perfect Guide. Page 45.</ref>) is a huge, robotic version of [[Birdo]] that appeared in the game ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', a remake of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. It replaces [[Mouser]] from the original game as the boss of [[World 3-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3-3]]. Despite bearing physical and behavioral traits from the pink Birdo, Robirdo speaks with a robotic version of the red Birdo's voice, using a couple of her direct quotes during boss intro and upon being defeated ("How ''could'' you?!"). Its name is a portmanteau of "robot" and "Birdo", as well as a possible pun on "Roberto".

Robirdo has three attacks: the first has it fire giant eggs from its mouth. The second attack is a direct charge towards the player, used after taking damage or following one of the other attacks. The player can avoid this by grabbing one of the chains hanging from the ceiling. The third attack is used once Robirdo has taken at least one hit - a [[Ground Pound]]-like jump that immobilizes the player. The only way to damage Robirdo is to throw the giant eggs back at it; it takes five hits to defeat. After it takes three hits, however, it continuously moves its head up and down when performing the charge attack, causing the player to possibly take damage when riding on top of it.
Robirdo has three attacks in battle. The first attack is a classic Birdo attack - firing eggs from its mouth. This is immediately followed by its second attack, which is charging directly towards the player. The seven chains hanging from the ceiling assist the player to avoid this attack. The third attack is used once Robirdo has been damaged - a [[Ground Pound]]-like jump that immobilizes the player. The charge also follows the third attack. The only way to damage Robirdo is to throw the giant eggs, which it shoots from its mouth, back at it. It takes five hits to defeat her.


Coincidentally, the filter used for Robirdo's voice clips is similar to the one used for [[Metal Mario]] starting from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', as well as [[Pink Gold Peach]].  
The ending credits depict her without the bow just like the normal Birdoes were originally depicted to be consistent with the characters retaining their NES sprite counterparts in the ending credits.

Robirdo makes an appearance also in volume 26 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. It appears in a short segment involving ''Super Mario Advance'' at the end of the chapter of the main story. The [[Shy Guy]]s unleash Robirdo on Mario, but Mario defeats it by throwing a [[Mega Guy|Giant Shy Guy]] at it.
