They are derived from real-world {{wp|gull}}s. In most appearances, seagulls are ambient components of beach-themed levels, but they have more substantial gameplay functions in a few titles. | ||

In ''[[Wario Land II]]'', gulls first appear in the level [[Get in the Tea Cup]]. They are harmless and are found flapping their wings in one place in midair. [[Wario]] can use them as [[platform]]s to reach remote locations; however, they fly away before long once he touches them but come back shortly afterwards. Like the game's enemies, gulls can be killed with a [[Dash Attack]] or a [[Ground Pound|ground pound]], respawning only if Wario leaves and re-enters their area. | In ''[[Wario Land II]]'', gulls first appear in the level [[Get in the Tea Cup]].

===''Super Mario'' series=== | |||
====''Super Mario Sunshine''==== | |||
Seagulls occur throughout [[Isle Delfino]], flying on the breeze. They can be heard calling when near and often occur in small flocks. Contrasting with the parrot-like [[Bird (Super Mario Sunshine)|bird]]s in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', seagulls cannot be interacted with. | |||
====''Super Mario Galaxy''==== | |||
[[File:SMG Rosalina Intro Screenshot.png|thumb|170px|left|Seagulls with Rosalina.]] | |||
Seagulls occur flying through the air in beach-themed [[Galaxy|galaxies]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They do not land during normal gameplay, but they appear grounded during the hidden cutscene with [[Rosalina]] in the [[Gateway Galaxy]]. Their profile is embroidered into flags present in the Sea Slide Galaxy, depicted eating a mushroom. Seagulls are the only ambient birds in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Unlike [[butterfly|butterflies]], they have no interactive elements. | |||
====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''==== | |||
Seagulls retain the same design and behavior in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' as the did in the previous game, appearing in the air of beach-themed galaxies. In addition to these galaxies, seagulls occur around [[Starship Mario]], likely to strengthen Starship Mario's allusion to seafaring vessels. | |||
====''Super Mario 3D Land''==== | |||
In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', seagulls appear in beach-themed courses, flying through the sky. They have a slightly more simplified design than they did in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games. Unlike [[small bird]]s, seagulls do not land or respond to [[Mario]]'s actions. | |||
====''Super Mario Odyssey''==== | |||
[[File:SMO Art - Seaside Kingdom Card.png|thumb|170px|Seagulls in Bubblaine.]] | |||
Most kingdoms have a unique, interactable bird species in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. In most of them, the bird is a type of [[small bird]], but seagulls are the species in the [[Seaside Kingdom]]. Seagulls are skittish and fly away when approached by [[Mario]] or if [[Cappy]] is tossed towards them. If Mario falls asleep in the Seaside Kingdom, seagulls may flock near him and one may even roost on his nose. During the [[Mission|objective]] "[[List of Power Moons in the Seaside Kingdom#Bird Traveling Over the Ocean|Bird Traveling Over the Ocean]]", a glowing seagull holds a [[Power Moon]]. It releases it when Mario makes contact with the bird. | |||
Seagulls appear alongside all other birds in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]] once [[Princess Peach]] and [[Tiara]] are rescued. | |||
====''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''==== | |||
In the ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' campaign, cat-eared seagulls can be seen throughout [[Lake Lapcat]], and fly away if Mario or [[Bowser Jr.]] comes near, or if a [[Koopa Shell|Green Shell]] is kicked or thrown at them. All seagulls fly away immediately when the rain that signals [[Fury Bowser]] is about to rampage begins. | |||
===''Mario Party 8''=== | ===''Mario Party 8''=== | ||
Seagulls appear in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' on [[Goomba's Booty Boardwalk]]. If [[Captain Goomba (Mario Party 8)|Captain Goomba]] gives a [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] to a player, he will order seagulls to transport the player to the beginning of the [[board (Mario Party series)|board]]. Seagulls can also be seen flying in the background of the board. | |||
