In the NON CANONICAL US Super Mario 2 manual, there is a small blurb about Birdo thinking he is a she.

For one, Birdo\'s true name is Catherine. Does that sound male to you? Doesn\'t to me. :o

Possibly both Birdo and Yoshi don\'t have a gender, though.

I have that manual somewhere, BTW.

Honestly, are you blind?

Nintendo ceased referring to Birdo as a male since Super Mario All-Stars, retconning the idea that Birdo has gender confusion issues. Furthermore, this ambiguity does not exist in Japan, since Birdo is known there as \"Catherine\" and purportedly enjoys being called \"Cathy\".

Japan = maker of Mario. Japan = all knower of Mario characters genders. Duh.

Don\'t think just because of a US manual, you know all. Samus was called a he in the NES manual, so that obviously means Samus is male, right? :rolleyes:

Who said I read it in a manual? Not I!

Moving on.... I believe Yoshi\'s popularity is about equal to Luigi\'s if not a little less than. What do you think?

This is what we\'re explaining to you. Birdo was never a guy in concept. Japan always had Birdo as a she. The US just got it wrong.

I just don\'t want this topic to be closed! I find it entertaining! Not to mention the fact that Yoshi rocks yet there was never (as far as I know) a Yoshi topic before. (please don\'t try to disprove that)

Just stay on topic and I won\'t have to bear my fangs. (ohhhhh noooooo:P)

Best stage name quote EVER.

I don\'t know. I always thought it was kinda strange that Yoshi could eat FIREBALLS, but couldn\'t stomach something just because it was made of metal. Also, suddenly in Yoshi Story for the N64, Yoshi couldn\'t eat red peppers. I think he\'s starting to wuss out, maybe? ^^; Maybe it\'s because the Yoshis in that game are supposed to be kids, so they\'d be pickier.

Fine fine, I\'ll chill out..... that quote reminds me of a scenario from the \"Yoshi\'s Island 3\" Sprite movie called \"Touch Fuzzy, Get Wasted\":lol:

Now on to your question; perhaps baby Yoshi\'s stomachs aren\'t capable of engulfing spicy stuff....yet. Kind of like human babies, whos stomachs can\'t digest as well as an adult\'s can, thus they puke alot more than adults do. Maybe that\'s why.

As far as being on-topic goes, I think my first post pretty much answered everything anyone wants to know about Yoshies and laying eggs.

From what I understand, the Male seahorses simply have a pouch where the female deposits their eggs. It\'s true that the young seahorses are born there, but it\'s incorrect to say they give birth...

As far as Yoshi\'s are concerned, I think that there are definite Male and Female genders. My theory is that both genders can lay eggs, but only the females can actually lay eggs that produce young Yoshies, whereas Males are only able to lay eggs which encase various parts of the things they eat, resulting in items or coins.

And if that doesn\'t convince you, you\'ll notice that our friend Yoshi has never actually produced a baby from his eggs.

As far as the leather is concerned, just assume that females can make babies, AND items, whereas males can ONLY make items. Xp

And as far as eating is concerned, the baby yoshies aren\'t tempered to eat dangerous things like fire and such. It\'s something they learn to deal with over time, hence why our elder Yoshi friend can do it.

Back from another thousand-year hibernation.

Yeah, the gender thing\'s done. (and the answer was right under my nose! *slaps self across face* YOSHI\'S STORY!!! IT SAYS HE, AND HIS, AND SHE! and other whatnot! Why didn\'t I check that in the first place!?) As for the egg laying; the gender thing is tied to that so that\'s done as well. The lether...? You make a good point FlareMan! Yoshi\'s are born with high levels of intellegence so... perhaps they know to put the shoes and saddle on BEFORE the egg even hatches! And who says dinosaurs are dumb?

Sorry to bump this (and for double posting), but I have found the only known authentic picture of a Yoshi who lacked decent footware! (I\'ve never played Super Mario RPG so I never had a clue about this)
Behold!
right click the \"broken\" jpeg and select \"view this image\" to view.

The only reason I didn\'t know about Boshi before is because I\'ve never played Super Mario RPG in my life, but here he is now!

I think that Birdo is a girl and Yoshi is a guy, and I think that they are of the same species. Also, I have never played Super Mario 2 (at least not since I was like 3) but I know that Birdo was pink wore a bow and shot eggs at people. So, in my opinion: to heck with what other people say, Birdo is a girl in my opinion I dont want to refer back to facts(I am not saying that your guy's opinions dont matter Im sayin what game books and nintendo says doesnt matter to me).

Birdo's original name as per stated by the SMB2USA booklet is Catherine, and he was a transvestite. *Laughs*

Of course the American booklet and the Japanese timeline conflict. But it's still funny to think what the boys at NOA came up with back then.

*points up*

Read my posts. Especially the bold text. BUT I must say, Miyamoto has said that he purposely leaves alot of things "unknown" so the players can fill in the blanks. Still, Birdo is a girl, and only fangirls who get off on Birdo being a man wearing stockings (just look at DA) think of the US manual as truth. :o
