Dodorigesu Jrs. (lit. "Pidgit Jr.") are pitch-black crows[1] that only appear in Mario & Wario. They are the sons of Pidgits.[2]
History[edit]
Mario & Wario[edit]
Dodorigesu Jr. only game apperance is in Mario & Wario. They are very slightly smaller but otherwise nearly identical in appearance to their parents, albeit without flying carpets. Dodorigesu Jr. is among the most basic and least dangerous enemies of the game, remaining in one spot as a mere obstacle that can be clicked away by Wanda.
Super Mario Kodansha manga[edit]
In chapter two of the Mario & Wario volume of the Super Mario Kodansha manga, Wario employs two Dodorigesu Jr. in the Kumotori Yama stage, but Mario ends up kicking them off the stage. Upset, Wario laments that Wart scammed him, as he bought them from him under the impression they were his "best minions."
Super Mario-kun[edit]
A single Dodorigesu Jr. appears in chapter 11 of volume 9 of the Super Mario-kun manga. He uses Wario's eggshell buckets to transform into Tamagodon. When Mario beats the creature, revealing the Dodorigesu Jr. inside it, Yoshi uses his fire breath to roast him like a chicken and eat it with his friends and the other Yoshis.
