Crows are a species of birds that appear in several Mario series games.
In Donkey Kong for the Game Boy, Crows are enemies that have the same behaviour as Birds. Crows only appear in the Tower in stage 9-4, aiding Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr.. Crows fly out of their nest and cross the screen horiziontally. When they fly over Mario, they stop and try to drop an egg on him. Touching the eggs or the crow itself kills Mario.
Crows make a cameo appearance in the opening sequence of Luigi's Mansion.
Crows also appear in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. They appear up on trees, and when Mario talks to them at first, they exclusively speak in crow language. However, when Mario uses Vivian and hides under a tree, he will be able to understand what they say. Only some crows give tips in the game. The crows in the game all appear only in Twilight Town. They are shown to talk about a variety of subjects, ranging from internet stocks to which university their children should go to.
Crows also make a minor appearance in Mario Party 8. They can been seen in King Boo's Haunted Hideaway.
