They're practically the same. Both spit eggs, both look nearly the same. Did Nintendo rip off a non-Nintendo created character and end up with it through sheer licencing lawry?
>>12632997>non-Nintendo created characterDDP wasn't a Nintendo project?
>>12632997Males can't produce eggs, so Birdo must genetically be a female who thinks she's a male who thinks he's a female.
>>12632997Yoshi shits eggs.
>>12633189haha
does brian from family guy have a circular shaped hole in his snout just about his mouth just like birdo here, or doe they both just ave tat black dog nose tipps???
>>12632997Yoshi was conceived before Birdo, being conceived for SMB1, but Nintendo didn't achieve Mario riding another character until the Super Nintendo.Birdo (among others like Shy Guy, Ninji, and Bob-Ombs) were designed for a licensed game made for Fuji TV.Everyone knows about Doki Doki Panic by now, but those characters didn't debut as Mario series characters.Birdo's design probably did inform Yoshi's final design though, since they share much of the same body shape and type.
>>12633423>Yoshi was conceived before Birdo>Birdo's design probably did inform Yoshi's final design though, since they share much of the same body shape and type.revisionist history is fun - just say it was conceived "before", then rip-off design.I think Shigefumi Hino got suggested to use the smb2 sprite as a base for yoshi (or just ripped it off, with permission of course) because it's closest thing to a dinosaur character in mario world series. this is why they look so very similar
>birdo is a girl who can't make eggs>yoshi is a boy who canLiterally the first, and I think only trans couple in gaming.
>>12633189they're egg-shaped snot rockets.
>>12633441That wasn't trans back in 1987/88 when Mario 2 came out.
>>12633435Nothing I said was contradictory, conceived doesn't mean finalised or complete.Bowser was fucking blue in his first box art appearance.Point being is that the visual identity of the Mario series was still in flux at that time.
>>12632997DOUGH KEY. DOUGH KEY. PICNIC.
>>12633476>d-d-d-doesn't count!!Go cry about it on facebook
Birdo a troon. Gay boys pick yoshi in mario kart? Dinos are lgbt
>>12632997
Birdo is a tranny
