Wendy O. Koopa: Difference between revisions

Wendy has displayed some unique abilities throughout her appearances as a boss character. In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', Wendy uses her wand to create up to three [[Ring (projectile)|ring]]s that float around colliding with each other and the environment. The rings can glide through water as well, although at lower speeds, and over time they dissipate. In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', she did not have to use her wand to create rings that would close in on the Mario bros. once they appear beneath them. This game also had Wendy breathing fireballs and creating [[Spiny]]s disguised as clones of herself, an ability shared with Lemmy and reminiscent of how they used similar-looking "dolls" to confuse Mario in ''Super Mario World''. In the interactive anime adaptation ''Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land'', Wendy was demonstrated to utilize actual copies of herself to confuse the Mario Bros., and was shown to utilize a similar ability in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' during her boss fight against them, where she disguised Spinies as herself. Wendy is shown running and jumping in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', and the latter also showed her spinning inside of her shell for offensive and defensive purposes. ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' also showed her as being an adept swimmer. ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' also depicts her as being skilled at ice-skating. In addition, like Bowser and the other Koopalings, she has superhuman durability, surviving near-death situations, such as being dunked into lava (and later having her castle being wiped away while she was still inside in ''Super Mario World''), her surviving being blasted with a [[Fire Flower|fire flower]] in ''Mario is Missing'', her surviving being crushed by Bowser's castle in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', and her surviving being knocked into a lava pit by a newly-gargantuan Bowser in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''.
