Talk:Birdo/Archive 1

Birdo's Voice
How does Birdo get her voice back in Superstar Saga? She can speak as "Rookie", so how did she get it back?


 * She also said "Birdo" when they first saw her.


 * Yeah, but how did she get it back?

Maybe that was a different Birdo? 23:41, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

I imagine after the Peach Bots were a failure that they simply would have gone back and retrieved it once it had been abandoned by Cackletta, probably using a similar method as to the way it was stolen originally (E.Gadd was in that game yeah he could have helped?) I'd just assume that it was no pivotal enough of a story line to be included in a cutscene.

You could mention those two possibilities in the article, but say the real reason in not known for sure.

Characters and Species
Information on Birdo, both "characters" and species, will go on this page. There is not one Birdo character, but many, and we are not creating an article on every specific Birdo. Unlike Yoshi or Toad, which started as a character and became a species, Birdo has always been a species and individual Birdos have appeared, such as what happened with Goombas and other enemies. -- Son of Suns

I would think the Birdo with the ring who always hangs-out with Yoshi is always the same person though. -- Sir Grodus


 * I would think the Birdo with the ring who always hangs-out with Yoshi is always the same Birdo though.


 * Corrected! --Bentendo 14:47, 26 March 2007 (EDT)


 * Well, it would not be incorrect to label Birdo a person. Birdo is an intelligent, sapient being, and thus can be labelled a person. Birdo is of course not a human though. Anyways, there are just so many individual Birdo characters, it would be better to keep all info on one page. In this game, a Birdo did this....in this game (likely the same Birdo from that game) did this....etc. -- Son of Suns


 * I was just kidding... 8/ --Bentendo 15:31, 27 March 2007 (EDT)


 * Umm.....well, the second part is still relevant. -- Son of Suns
 * Hey, you guys, shouldn't we make an individual Birdo (species) page? I mean, the species is different than the actual individual Birdo, am I correct? I know for a fact that they are a species from games like Super Mario Strikers. Any thoughts on this? --Jolene
 * My thoughts exactly. Based on the information in Super Mario Advance, each Birdo encountered by Mario and friends was the same (note the voice, and the irritation at their persistence, etc.).  This is proof in my book that there is a special Birdo.  Even Toad does not have that great of a distinction.  Let's take a vote. --Stumpers


 * Well, the birdo in Super Mario Bros. 2 is bad, while the birdo who is Yoshi's friend is good. They're a species. 20:14, 27 February 2008 (EST)

Should the article be separated into Birdo (species) and Birdo as a character?
'PLEASE DO NOT POST HERE. AN OFFICIAL PROPOSAL HAS BEEN CREATED ON Proposals. TRANSFER YOUR VOTE, PLEASE!' 01:38, 1 March 2008 (EST)

Now that we have proposals, this can't decide anything. I've been noticing some new votes coming up, so... should I make one? 09:50, 29 February 2008 (EST)
 * Yup. 09:59, 29 February 2008 (EST)

Support

 * 1) Stumpers
 * 2) Javier12345:Like that is Toads article
 * 21:25, 10 December 2007 (EST) I believe there is only one Birdo in SMB2 and that is the same one that appears in later sports games. Her ring makes her stick out from other Birdos and although she has appeared in less games, she is more distinct than Toad.
 * 1) Walkazo - Per all. But shouldn't we make this an official Proposal?
 * 2) - My comment below.
 * 1) - My comment below.

Oppose

 * 1) Son of Suns - There have been many Birdo characters and its quite clear they are all not the same Birdo.


 * 1) Theryguy512 19:57, 10 December 2007 (EST) Well, the Birdo (character) is a Birdo (species), and if we move this one, we have to move Yoshi, etc.


 * 1) http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/3473/linkswordmi2.gif Paper Jorge ( Talk&middot;Contributions)&middot; http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/3473/linkswordmi2.gif Per Son of Suns-we have no proof all those Birdos are the same. But we already moved Yoshi, Theryguy.

Comments
Please see my above comment for my reasoning. --Stumpers
 * Actually, my point is that we're being inconsistent, since we DO have all of those for Yoshi, Toad, and the like. 20:55, 10 December 2007 (EST)
 * This was started before the proposals were in effect. I don't do proposals b/c I'm very sporatic in terms of Wiki editing, but if you wanted to submit this and transfer the votes you're more than welcome.  01:15, 31 December 2007 (EST)

We have one Birdo and an entire species. Should we split? Yes. One Birdo has appeared, and it happened to be the Birdo we all know. And the species we fight in SMB2. So I see a need why we need to spit them. I know without the two combined, the article would be a bit smaller, but, Birdo deserves to have its own article, and so does the species.

Birdo is definitely a species, because the Super Mario Bros. 2 birdo is bad and the one or ones (I don't care) who hang out with Yoshi are good, as Yoshi is good. It could be split, but since it's not for sure that any two are the same, and there's not much to say about Birdo as a character or species, you should maybe leave it as one, and mention in the article that the Birdo in the sports and party games may be the same, but it's unsure. After all Koopa Troopas are in many sports games, and they're probably not the same. 16:34, 29 February 2008 (EST)


 * The way that the Wiki has previously (Toad, Yoshi) decided whether there could be a character AND a species was whether the character was referred to directly. As in, "Go with Yoshi and save Peach!" rather than, "Go with THIS Yoshi and save Peach!" And, Birdo has been referred to directly as Birdo in Mario Party (as has any "species" character).  Additionally, the manual to Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA) specifically notes Birdo, Mouser, etc. as characters rather than a species.  This idea was further cemented in Super Mario Advance when Birdo was given a voice.  It remained consistent throughout the game.  She voiced continued growing annoyance, and even when a green Birdo showed up (which you would think would constitute a different character), the line was, "I'm ready for you THIS time!" which of course implies that she had seen Mario and friends before.  In other words, if nothing else, the character article should cover "Birdo" from Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA).  You can't deny that.  20:06, 29 February 2008 (EST)


 * But do you really think one Birdo would fight Mario and friends, and then be Yoshi's secret girlfriend? 20:35, 29 February 2008 (EST)


 * I would hold my own opinion below Nintendo's for the purpose of the Wiki in either case, but I gotta admit you have a point. But: love can do strange things, right?  01:06, 1 March 2008 (EST)


 * Heh heh. I'm not sure of their real relationship, but it's obvious they're friendly with each other. I think the best expaination is that the Birdos in the sports and party games are the same, but not the one or ones in SMB2.

Heh

Could there at least be one mention that it's unknown why Birdo changes from bad to good? It doesn't have to say there might be two birdos, just say it's unknown why she- he- it changes alliances.
 * Of course! What I was trying to get away from was speculation regarding solutions to the "plot hole." I mean, I'm fine with speculation when it's needed (ie the Luigi's Mansion Bowser Suit theory), but it's just when the article can be written with out it, I'm pretty sure we're supposed to leave it out.  So, to point out a plot hole is a-ok, and is actually good writing if you ask me.  18:05, 12 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Maybe I'll add it later. I thought that's what you didn't really want me to do.

Birdo image
Can we use this for the first image???Javier12345

Possible vandalism
Has Wario565 been vandalizing the article? Look at the history. He wrote stuff like "ORGINALY BIRDO WAS A BOY BUT THEY CHANGED ITS GENDER TO A GIRL" at the top of the biography section. I reverted it, but he's been doing a lot of stuff to the article. 15:08, 30 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Technically, it's not vandalism, but it should be deleted, so thanks CY. I'll take a look at his edits and probably drop him a message.  18:20, 30 March 2008 (EDT)

Oh great now Birdoshi is spamming the page with vandal. Princess Grapes Butterfly 15:46, 31 March 2008 (EDT)
 * I talked to him/her about putting the images in thumbs. Thanks for cleaning up, Princess Grapes!  16:14, 31 March 2008 (EDT)

Thanks. (So many image on that page O_0.Yay for Grapes I mean me my first time removing vandalism!) Princess Grapes Butterfly 16:19, 31 March 2008 (EDT)

Hey Princess Grapes Butterfly so that you insist on clearing images of Birdo that I put that by the way those images are very real and that all those images come from their respective games and soon your you say that this is vandalism and it is not certain I I put images in the beginning and your you erased them but that was so that I put bad but Stumpers soon! it said to me as to put them or and soon I put them or and your you insist on clearing them and like examples the Birdo that this giving returned from Mario Strikers Charged also the Birdo that give kisses and the Birdo that throws eggs and if this it beams so that you say that either images in this section of Birdo are many then these mistaken since characters like Dry Bones are others and where this normal section also has many images and GIF and when you clean one page of the things that puts another user you must be safe of not erasing the information that or was in that page then that you did your with me since I put images single real and your you erased information for the other affluent beam what beams and lets erase my images who is certain.

En español: Hey Princess Grapes Butterfly por que insistes en quitar las imagenes de Birdo que yo pongo que por cierto esas imagenes son muy reales y que todas esas imagenes vienen de sus respectivos juegos y luego tu dices que esto es vandalismo y no es cierto al principio yo puse unas imagenes y tu las borraste pero eso fue por que yo las puse mal pero luego Stumpers! me dijo como ponerlas bien y luego yo las puse bien y tu insistes en quitarlas y como ejemplos la Birdo que esta dando vueltas de Mario Strikers Charged tambien la Birdo que da besos y la Birdo que arroja huevos y si esto lo haces por que dices que ya hay muchas imagenes en esta seccion de Birdo pues estas equivocada ya que hay otros personajes como Dry Bones y donde esta seccion tiene muchas imagenes normales y tambien GIF y cuando limpies una pagina de las cosas que pone otro usuario debes de estar segura de no borrar la informacion que ya estaba en esa pagina pues eso hiciste tu conmigo ya que yo puse solo images reales y tu borraste informacion para la otra haz bien lo que haces y deja de borrar mis imagenes que son ciertas.

Birdoshi: Please don't use a Spanish-English translator. It's not clear in English. Grapes: Birdoshi's edits are not vandalism/spam. Please see Vandalism. What you're finding issue with is the relevancy/professionalism of the images. Both of you, remember that you should assume good faith (ie, that an edit was made to better the Wiki) whenever possible. You'll notice that Birdoshi has added some very relavent images, although I'm questioning the two animated GIFs. I think we need to take a vote on whether to keep or remove each image. Birdoshi and Princess Grapes, can you please post the images you two are arguing about here and we can discuss them? 02:25, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

I had a feeling that there were offical except the gif. He/She put some image that don`t belong in some sections. How 'bout we just put the offical images in the gallary! (He/She Put a foto of Birdo dancing in his power section. that not showing birdo power.) Princess Grapes Butterfly 06:17, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
 * I think that dancing Birdo was from Super Mario Strikers? In which case it belongs on the Birdo (species) page rather than this page regardless.  16:28, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

Yeah I agree! Princess Grapes Butterfly 17:24, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
 * The other one had her blowing kisses, right? I think that's from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, which does make applicable to this article.  19:00, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

Bueno es que no se hablar muy bien el ingles por eso lo traduzco si quieren pueden pasarme un buen traductor mientras aprendo el ingles y respecto a las imagenes pues es cierto lo de la Birdo que baila bueno ya se me equivoque y es que cuando puse la imagen me falto agregarle al articulo donde vienen los poderes de Birdo que ella gira muy rapido pero bueno la imagen de Birdo bailando ya la voy a poner bien de hecho se las voy a dejar aqui abajo junto con las otras 2 imagenes GIF que por cierto la Birdo que arroja besos si es de Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga correcto Grapes! y aparece en el juego cuando Peach les explica a Mario y a Luigi que cuando vino la bruja y le robo la voz pues que no era ella (Peach) si no que era Birdo transformada en Peach y en eso aparece otra Peach frente a Mario y a Luigi y derrepente se destruye el disfraz y resulta que si es Birdo y ahi ella arroja besos y luego ve a unos niños frijol y se los persigue. Y bien la otra imagen de Birdo que arroja huevos es de Super Smash Bros Melee donde ella aparece en su escenario y arroja huevos a los personajes de Smash.

Good it is that not to be spoken very or english for that reason I translate it if they want can pass a good translator to me while I learn english and with respect to images because it is certain the one of the Birdo that dances good either mistakes to me and is that when I put the image I lack to add to him to I article where the powers come from Birdo that it turns very fast but good the image of Birdo dancing or I am going it to put or in fact I am going away to down leave them along with other 2 images GIF that by the way the Birdo that throws kisses if she is of Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga correct Grapes! and it appears in the game when Peach explains to them to Mario and to Luigi that when the witch came and him robbery the voice since she was not she (Peach) if who was Birdo transformed Peach and that does not appear another Peach as opposed to Mario and to Luigi and destroys the disguise to him and is that if is then Birdo and she throws kisses and soon she sees children bean and she persecutes them. And the other image of Birdo that throws eggs is well of Super Smash Bros Melee where it appears in her scene and throws eggs to characters of Smash.

I thought that this image (The one with the ->) is from Super Mario Advance? (GBA) Princess Grapes Butterfly 20:12, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

Hey Princess Grapes Butterfly watches the photo of Birdo giving returned is a power or that? I think that if so that in Mario Strikers Charged Birdo gives returns when it brings the ball and cradled an enemy she approaches she sends it to fly with his returns.

Hey Princess Grapes Butterfly mira la foto de Birdo dando vueltas es un poder o que? yo pienso que si por que en Mario Strikers Charged Birdo da vueltas cuando trae la pelota y cunado un enemigo se acerca ella lo manda a volar con sus vueltas.

Oh I didn't know! I don't have that game. Princess Grapes Butterfly 20:45, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

oh pobre de ti pero tarde o temprano lo conseguiras esta muy padre el juego pero bueno mira te mando este link para que veas las animaciones de Birdo ya saves cuando ella anota un gol asi celebra ella y en la segunda animacion ella da vueltas y luego arroja un huevo mirala.

oh poor of you but sooner or later you are going it to play this very cool the game but good sight I send east Link to you so that you see the animations of Birdo if when it writes down a goal she celebrates and in the second animation she gives returns and soon she throws an egg.

Oh really (It looks more like dance.) Princess Grapes Butterfly 21:05, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

If I if I have the game and it watches this is the Link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WNYZ7mAJWY&mode=related&search=

and that you think of the video

y que opinas del video

Que pasa ya lo vistes responde pues no que eres buena discutiendo

That it happens already you observed the video then answers not that you are good discussing

As I mentioned earlier, the Strikers pictures and information aren't a problem: they should only be on the Birdo (species) page. The kissing image should be placed under personality or Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. The egg shooting image should be placed under abilities or Super Mario Bros. 2. 22:59, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

ok! Stumpers

There is no personality section, actually. We should have one, we have one for a plant, for heaven's sake. Just it might be hard with Birdo sometimes good and sometimes bad, she (yes, it is she) has no set personality. I told you, Stumpers...

Then I am going to make the section of the pesonality of her

Pues voy a hacer la seccion de la pesonalidad de ella

>.> Um... 'k. She always struck me as a Rouge the Bat sort of personality. Kind hearted at the core, but with very loose morality. Well, if you have problems putting the pieces together to find a set personality, I think I could help. I'm pretty sure the key thing is this:
 * She's flirtatious and very affectionate (kissie, kissie!), even when she doesn't know someone very well. (met Yoshi in Mario Tennis, Popple in Mario & Luigi)
 * She flip-flops in everything according to her desires. She's not afraid to fight her old aquaintences for a new love (Mario & Luigi).

Yeah, that's basically my interpretation. Her personality doesn't change, only her affections. Not the kind of girl you expect to settle down anytime soon! 02:14, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
