Birdo (Life & Death)

Birdo (キャサリン, Catherine) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Life or Death.
Birdo first appeared in both Doki Doki Panic and its Americanized version, Super Mario Bros. 2 as a boss and a member of Wart's Army known as the 8-bits. After a series of sporadic appearances in games such as Wario's Woods alonside Toad save for remakes, Birdo returned alongside Princess Daisy in Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64, becoming a staple of the Mario spin-offs alongside Daisy, even becoming Yoshi's most common partner in the games, with a possible romantic link between them.
Birdo is voiced by Kazumi Totaka in-game, who also voices Yoshi and Olimar in-game.

 	Name 	Description
Neutral Attack 	N/A 	A front kick followed by a roundhouse kick.
Forward Tilt 	N/A 	Swings her tail in a forward direction.
Up Tilt 	N/A 	Brings her tail upwards, going from front to back.
Down Tilt 	N/A 	Lays on all fours and spins her body around to attack with her tail. The attack does the least amount of damage out of all her tilts but has the lowest ending lag out of all of Birdo's tilts.
Dash Attack 	N/A 	A far-reaching sidekick.
Forward Smash 	N/A 	Rears her head back to perform a headbutt.
Up Smash 	N/A 	Performs a bicycle kick.
Down Smash 	N/A 	Crouches and swings her tail forward, and then backward.
Neutral Aerial 	N/A 	A flying sex kick.
Forward Aerial 	N/A 	Rears her head back and then performs a downward headbutt.
Back Aerial 	N/A 	Hits three times with her tail.
Up Aerial 	N/A 	Flicks her tail upwards.
Down Aerial 	N/A 	Birdo performs a series of downwards kicks that closely resembles her Flutter Jump.
Grab 	N/A 	Opens her mouth and uses it to suck her opponents in.
Pummel 	N/A 	Chews the opponent.
Forward Throw 	N/A 	Spits the opponent forward.
Back Throw 	N/A 	Turns around and spits out the opponent. Otherwise, extremely similar to forward throw.
Up Throw 	N/A 	Spits the opponent upwards.
Down Throw 	N/A 	Spits the opponent down to the ground.
Neutral Special	Egg Shot 	Birdo chews the opponent and traps them in a Birdo Egg before shooting out the egg. When the opponent is trapped, they can escape by button mashing. They stay trapped longer the more damage they have. Upon escaping, opponents gain brief intangibility.
Side Special 	Egg Roll 	Birdo will encase herself in a large Birdo Egg after a small hop then rolls around the stage. Damage dealt is proportional to momentum. Can jump once during the move. The attack has limited usage due to its predictable movement, slow startup and end lag, and lack of armor or disjoints. It does not deal damage until it first touches the ground. Can stall at the ledge if the control stick is not held towards it, but does no damage when stationary. It can be canceled earlier by hitting the special button. Can move through shields.
Up Special 	Egg Throw 	Throws a Birdo Egg that travels on a controllable, parabolic arc. When used in midair, the first three throws cause Fall Breaks that grant Birdo significant vertical distance based on his current vertical momentum, with the largest possible jump being nearly as high as her double jump. After three uses in midair, it no longer grants upward momentum, and Birdo must land to recover this. A very effective projectile that can now bounce upon hitting the ground, which makes it a more versatile option.
Down Special 	Birdo Bomb 	A Ground Pound that produces damaging stars upon landing.
Final Smash 	Subcon Stampede	Birdo rushes forward and attacks the opponent with an upward headbutt. If the attack hits, it cuts to a cinematic cutscene that takes place in Subcon. Suddenly, a stampede of multicolored Birdos, Bob-ombs, Shy Guys, Mousers, Pidgits, Cobrats, and Ninjis are seen rushing down the gorge, and they attack by trampling the opponent. It has a striking resemblance to the Super Smash Bros. Melee opening movie, unlike Yoshi's version, Birdo's version is set in Subcon and features many species of the 8-Bits instead of one species.

==Fighter Spirits==
Birdo's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Birdo in The Kiss of Death allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Life & Death.
