Waddlewings are rather common enemies, mainly found in [[Acorn Plains]] and sky levels. Most of the time, Waddlewings glide from side to side. When they land, they will walk slowly and try to walk off a ledge to glide in that direction. If they bump into a wall or [[tree]] while gliding, they will cling to it for a second and then glide the opposite direction. Waddlewings can also carry [[Super Acorn|Super Acorns]] and drop them if they are defeated. They behave like the [[Super Koopa (enemy)|Super Koopas]] from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', but instead of obtaining equilibrium in flight, they will always glide diagonally. Additionally, if they are in the middle of gliding whenever the sound "bah" plays during the stage music, Waddlewings will perform a front flip.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

Waddlewing
A Waddlewing carrying a Super Acorn

Waddlewings are rather common enemies, mainly found in Acorn Plains and sky levels. Most of the time, Waddlewings glide from side to side. When they land, they will walk slowly and try to walk off a ledge to glide in that direction. If they bump into a wall or tree while gliding, they will cling to it for a second and then glide the opposite direction. Waddlewings can also carry Super Acorns and drop them if they are defeated. They behave like the Super Koopas from Super Mario World, but instead of obtaining equilibrium in flight, they will always glide diagonally. Additionally, if they are in the middle of gliding whenever the "paah" plays during the stage music, Waddlewings will perform a front flip. If they are on the ground when the "paah" plays, they will instead tuck and roll.

New Super Luigi U[edit]

Waddlewings return in New Super Luigi U, behaving the exact same way as they did in New Super Mario Bros. U.

Mario Party series[edit]

Mario Party: Island Tour[edit]

Waddlewings make a cameo in the minigames Starring Artist and Match Faker, from Mario Party: Island Tour.

They appear in the minigame Goomba Gallop, where they fly across the screen in an attempt to briefly obscure the players' view, as well as in the minigame Mega Goomba's Ladder Leap, where contact with one deducts one point. They also appear as selectable enemies in Meanie Match.
