Birdo (Galactic Battle)

Birdo (キャサリン, Catherine) is a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. Galactic Battle. Debuting in Super Mario Bros. 2, as well as the original version in Japan named Doki, Doki Panic, she was a member of Wart's Army before eventually becoming a main part of the Mario cast.
Birdo is an Echo Fighter of Yoshi while having her neutral special be a fusion of Yoshi, Kirby, and King Dedede's specials, sharing many of the same attacks as Yoshi.
Birdo is part of the Parallel Pass, a downloadable Fighter's Pass comprised of Echo Fighters, a distinction she shares with Roll, Wart, Dark Meta Knight, Ray, Mighty, Ray MK II, and Samantha.
==Differences from Yoshi==
*Birdo's animations are more girly than Yoshi's, reflecting her nature within the various Mario spin-off games.
*Birdo's moves don't use a tongue like Yoshi, instead, Birdo sucks the opponents into her mouth, and shoots them out as eggs, similar to her boss battles in Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA) and Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic.
*Birdo's Final Smash is set in Subcon rather than the rocky gorge present in the opening to Super Smash Bros. Melee, and also features multiple enemies from Subcon as part of the stampede rather than being just multicolored Birdos.
*Birdo uses the Super Mario series fanfare as she represents the Super Mario Bros. games rather than the Yoshi games. This is due to Birdo having not been present in any of the Yoshi games.

Up Tilt 	N/A 	Brings her tail upwards, going from front to back.
Down Tilt 	N/A 	Lays on all fours and spins his 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 	Noggin Dunk 	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 	Flutter Kick 	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 Lay 	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 Wart's Army instead of one species.

==Role in The Elemental Labyrinth==
Due to her status as downloadable content, Birdo does not have a legitimate role in the Elemental Labyrinth. Instead, she is unlocked for use in the mode after freeing 10 fighters from Hearth's control. There is no fighter battle required to unlock this character. If loading an existing save file that meets this condition prior to downloading Birdo, she is immediately unlocked.
==Role in Classic Mode==
Birdo can be fought as an opponent in all variations of Classic Mode, as well as having a possibility of appearing as an ally in all variations as well.
===Ladies' Night Out!===
Birdo's Ultimate style Classic Mode is named, Ladies' Night Out, and features Madame Broode as the final boss with Daisy as an ally. Birdo's opponents are tag teams of female characters that have connections to each other on a friendly term. Daisy appears as Birdo's partner in all battles as a callback to the two being doubles partners in Mario Tennis.

==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. Downloading Birdo 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 Galactic Battle.
