Conkdor: Difference between revisions

'''Conkdors''' are reoccurring bird enemies in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]], debuting in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of "condor" and "conk", which refers generally to a hit on the head, which fits their method of attacking. They are blue and white birds with long necks, toucan-like beaks (their internal file name is "tuccondor"), a tuft of black hair and purple goggles. Their appearances and attack pattern are based on the myth that ostriches bury their heads in the sand when stressed. They also have a purple spiked shell, protecting their backs from being stomped.

 

Conkdors reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' as part of the background in the desert theme in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, where they are seen slamming their beaks into the ground.

Conkdors reappear in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|ports]] in the levels [[Cagey Conkdor Caper]] and [[Deep Space Gyromajig]], behaving the same as they did in ''Super Mario 3D World''. Additionally, in the bonus episode of the Wii U version of the game, Conkdors appear in the level ''Conkdor Canyon'', returning from ''Super Mario 3D World''.

Conkdors reappear in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' in the minigame [[Rattle and Hmmm]] where players need to identify the correct enemy based on the vibrations made in the [[Nintendo Switch#Joy-Con|Joy-Cons]]. They appear in a set alongside a [[Spike]] and a [[Bob-omb]]. They peck twice when they perform, creating the weakest vibration.

A group of Conkdors appear in [[Palettville]], where they are shown eating the candy corn a Rabbid farmer is attempting to plant.
