Its name is a play on the word "Pigeon". ==History== ===''Super Mario'' series=== ====''Super Mario Bros. 2''==== Pidgits first appeared in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA)|Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where they were a common aerial enemy in [[Subcon (place)|Subcon]]. To attack, a Pidgit would attempt to fly into [[Mario]] or one of his friends. Thus, Mario should [[Jump]] on top of the Pidgit during its descent and thrown it off the magic carpet. Mario can then ride the magic carpet for short distances. Often, Mario needs to use these magic carpets to reach inaccessible parts of certain levels. In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version, Pidgit was depicted black as usual - the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] editions changed it to blue. ====''Super Mario World''==== In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', if Mario or [[Luigi]] clear all the levels of the [[Special World]], [[Bullet Bills]] will be changed to resemble Pidgits and be renamed [[Pidgit Bill]]s. Also in ''Super Mario World'', the [[Lakitu]]s' clouds could be ridden like a Pidgit's carpet, whereas the Pidgit Bills don't even have carpets, but are merely blasted through the air. ===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''=== Pidgits made a few rare appearances on ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', where they were capable of flying naturally. Instead of riding on Magic Carpets, they would eat them. The mainly appeared in the episode "[[Mario's Magic Carpet]]", where [[Bowser|King Koopa]] called a service known as [[List of Implied Organizations#Pidgit Express|Pidgit Express]], and ordered for a dozen Pidgits to eat away at Mario's Magic Carpet. This ended with Luigi remembering that he knew how to speak the Pidgits' own language (named "Pidgit"), and telling them to eat away at King Koopa's Magic Carpet instead, which they proceeded to do. Another, single Pidgit made a brief appearance in the episode "[[The Unzappables]]", where it played a saxophone at the [[Koopa Klub]] alongside a [[Goomba]] pianist and a [[Shy Guy]] cellist. ===''Wario's Woods''=== Additionally, Pidgits appear as [[Wario]]'s monsters in ''[[Wario's Woods]]''. In that game, they were known as '''Black Bats''', and overcame [[Wanda]] during the common event of Wario replacing [[Birdo]]. In this game, Pidgits served the same purpose as Wanda, although they dropped extra monsters down on the [[Toad]] while [[Thwomp]]s summoned [[Bomb (item)|Bomb]]s. Also, they could somehow fly in this game; it is possible that Black Bats are different entities than Pidgits (although this is unlikely, as they appear to be identical). ===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''=== Pidgits make a cameo appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. They appear in the level [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] and ride magic carpets. While its magic carpet is three-dimensional, the Pidgit is a two-dimensional sprite. The fighters could hop on the magic carpet as long as the Pidgit was on the screen. A [[trophy]] of a Pidgit can also be obtained in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. ===''Super Princess Peach''=== In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', two groups consisting of several Pidgits appear at the ending of the game, where they fly in formations spelling "NICE SHOT" and "CONGRATULATIONS." These Pidgits possessed flight and had red beaks, making them resemble the [[Pidgit Bill]]s of ''Super Mario World'' more than standard Pidgits. Pidgits shockingly reappeared after a long disappearance as common enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. They are located on [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]]. To attack, a Pidgit would fly its magic carpet high in the air, then come crashing down into Mario or [[Luigi]]. If a Pidgit is on the left, it would attack Mario. If it's on the right, a Pidgit would attack Luigi. Occasionally, during its attack, a Pidgit will jump, briefly stalling and throwing off Mario or Luigi's counter-attack. However, if a Pidgit jumps before it begins its attack, Mario and Luigi will know that the bird will also jump (and stall) during its attack, allowing the plumbers to adjust their timing for a counter-attack. Additionally, some Pidgits carry a bag in battle; these special Pidgits have a higher Speed rating than normal Pidgits, give up more coins if beaten, and can flee battle. ==Trophy information from ''Super Smash Bros.

They live in Subcon, a land contained within Mario's dreams, where they fly around on magic carpets. Mario and friends were able to use these carpets for short distances once they dislodged the piloting Pidgit.'' |} [[Category:Mario enemies]]
