Pluckys are yellow birds in Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park. They serve as delivery people for the Toad Brigade. They wear a red neckerchief, much like Captain Toad.

At the Toad Brigade Training Camp in Bellabel Park, a Plucky is perched on a mailbox containing reports from the Recruit Poplin.^:2:46 A Plucky also delivers eyewitness reports from the recruit regarding sightings of the Koopalings.^:2:17 Pluckys also appear before and during the Koopaling fights, where they are seen dropping ? Capsules containing power-ups to the player character.^:4:26

A Plucky is playable in the Co-Op attraction Fly Free, Captain Toad! In this attraction, one player controls Captain Toad, who cannot jump; the other player must therefore control the Plucky perched on his head to help lift him off the ground.

Three weeks prior to Meetup in Bellabel Park's release, a Plucky debuted in Super Mario Run as a statue alongside Captain Toad in an event promoting the game running from March 5, 2026, to April 3, 2026. The statue can be obtained by completing the second stamp card.
