Birdo: Male or Female?

[Snowstalker]

We all know the story. In SMB2, Birdo was said to be a boy who think's he's a girl. They later brought the dinosaur back as a female. My theory is that the Birdos are a species, and the one in SMB2 is male, and the one in other games is female.

 

[Sir Grodus]

This species is both genders. Like a select few real world animals (Leeches, Worms, some reptiles and I think mammals).

 

[Smiddle]

Birdos ARE a species, sheeesh...

They are?

 

[Sir Grodus]

There are multiple Birdos in Super Mario Strikers, Mario Strikers Charged, Mario Power Tennis, etc.

 

[Alphaclaw11]

They may be together in games, but there are many yoshis (it's a specie) and many birdos (it's a specie)

 

[Cloud n Candy]

I believe that Birdo's a male. Remember how Nintendo once referred to him as a "he"? :P

 

[Xzelion]

I hope its a girl cause if shes a dude and her and Yoshi are going out then, That means Yoshi is a girl! :O

 

[SiFi]

Feminine voice in SMA.

Masculine/alien voice in MKDD.

My theories get nowhere...

 

[Alphaclaw11]

I hope its a girl cause if shes a dude and her and Yoshi are going out then, That means Yoshi is a girl! :O

or he is very very very happy

 

[Dry Bones]

Birdo wears a bow, it's a girl, well the one that appeares in MK:DD and Mario Partys.

 

[Smiddle]

Not really

You don't have to be a girl if you wear a bow.
(Let's all hope that Birdo's a female.)

Make a wish on the star scepter!

GIRL.

No more gay jokes.

She wears a bow, a ring, and her name in Japan is Catherine. ENOUGH SAID!

But in the Japanese version, Birdo is adressed as a boy despite being called Catherine.

 

[3Dejong]

Which game?

BOO! CROSSDRESSERS!

 

[[ohgodpleasedelete]]

In general, I believe. I could be mistaken.

 

[3Dejong]

You are.

 

[[ohgodpleasedelete]]

I think I'm not.

 

[Snowstalker]

Birdo was called a male in SMB2.

 

[YellowYoshi398]

You are.

He's actually right, or so says our user LinkTheLefty, who seems to have a wide knowledge of Japanese Mario games. I like to think of the whole Birdo-is-male things as retconned in the Western translations, though.

I don't know Japanese. I was just saying what some people I know who know some Japanese were saying. So, my bad.

Wait... I meant you were right, Chaos. According to LinkTheLefty, Birdo is still consistently referred to as male in Japan.

 

[[ohgodpleasedelete]]

I knew it!

I knew it!

Dangit that would mean Yoshi is a...:|
