Oh wow, I had no idea. I didn't even own the manual back in the day because I played it on Mario All Stars on the SNES.
Where were you with this info in the mid 1990s?
Lol!
I was wrong, there's THREE PAGES in the manual on the subject! ๐

Huh, transgender Birdette is in there too.
I thought this comment was a joke. lol
For anyone else out of the loop, here's a screenshot from the linked manual above:
(also, apparently his name is supposed to be Birdo, but it was misprinted in the manual as "Ostro". Ostros are the big flamingo looking things)
I feel like the version we had definitely had its name printed as Birdo and not Ostro. I have always called that thing Birdo.
The name is also shown in the cast roll at the end of the game, so you might remember it from there. :)
Man, I miss manuals like this.
