History

Mario Kart series

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

Mushroom City
The Turbo Birdo in action

The Turbo Birdo first appears in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! as Birdo's kart. It can be unlocked by completing the Flower Cup in 150cc. It is the heaviest middleweight karts in the game and has average speed, acceleration, and steering capabilities.

In terms of actual stats, the Turbo Birdo has the same top speed as the Bloom Coach, but is tied with the Red Fire, Bullet Blaster, and Parade Kart for the weakest acceleration of all the three star acceleration karts. It is one of the four karts to have stats "out of the ordinary" for its weight class, with the others being the Green Fire, the Boo Pipes, and the Barrel Train.

The Turbo Birdo, Turbo Yoshi, Toad Kart, and Toadette Kart all share the same engine sound.

Mario Kart Tour

The Turbo Birdo returns in Mario Kart Tour alongside Birdo as part of the Holiday Tour, where it is classified as a Super kart. Similar to the Turbo Yoshi, it only has one handlebar rather than two as in its original appearance, the rear of the kart curls up to resemble Birdo’s tail, replacing the original kart's platform, and the joints of the first handlebar have moved to make room for the driver's emblem. Boosting from Mini-Turbos lasts longer and yields more points while using this kart. It uses the Turbo Yoshi's tires (although in the splash art for the Yoshi Tour, it had the Pipe Frame's tires instead). The game also introduces two variants, the first one known as the Light-blue Turbo Birdo was introduced in the Vancouver Tour, and the second one known as the Yellow Turbo Birdo was introduced in the Yoshi Tour. Both variants are also classified as Super karts.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
