During gameplay, a sprite plays a key role by helping [[Toad]] clear out monsters by providing him with [[Bomb (object)|bombs]]. However, if the player does not keep the gauge full, she will be replaced with a [[Pidgit]], which is also symbolized when Wario replaces [[Birdo]] on the sidelines. The Pidgit will simply shower down more monsters while Wario attempts to knock the [[Thwomp]] down, but the sprite returns once the gauge refills, making Wario leave and Birdo come back. Two of them are also seen in the VS Mode and act identically, except Birdo and Wario do not appear. Presumably, their lives return to normal after the events of the game. | ||
