Welcome to our boss guides for Super Mario RPG on Nintendo Switch and SNES.

Super Mario RPG didn't forget about Birdo, and she once again returns as one of Mario's enemies. The fight with the pink dinosaur (?) at Nimbus Castle isn't terribly difficult, so you shouldn't have too much trouble. But if you need a trampoline to fall back on, we're here.

In this guide, we'll be telling you the best strategy to beat Birdo in Super Mario RPG

How to beat Birdo

Recommended party: Mario, Bowser, Geno — but anyone will do.

Birdo starts the battle inside her egg, which is easily broken with a few physical moves. She'll then hatch out of the egg and show her face.

Even after she’s hatched, physical moves are still the way to go. Birdo’s egg-spitting attacks do quite a bit of damage, so make sure to heal up when you need it with Peach.

Overall, the battle is fairly easy. Keep attacking and you’ll eventually defeat Birdo. It really is that simple.
