Birdo is a character you can unlock in Mario Kart World. Despite being a regular in the Super Mario series spin-offs since the Gamecube days, she doesn’t start on the roster initially. However, iconic racers like Donkey Kong and Daisy are also unlockable, so it’s not entirely unexpected.
The good news is adding her to your lineup is relatively simple. Completing just a handful of races (four, to be exact) will do the trick! Here’s everything you need to know to get this unique character behind the wheel.
The Best Karts for Birdo
For many racers, the Reel Racer is a superb option for Birdo. However, the Biddybuggy is also a good choice, giving improved acceleration and handling compared to the Reel Racer.
How to Unlock Birdo
To unlock Birdo, simply complete the Banana Cup. The catch? Even if you *don’t* want Birdo, she’s yours after the Banana Cup is over. Your finishing position is unimportant. Whether you snag first place in every event or consistently come in last, Birdo joins your team once the Grand Prix concludes.
Birdo, like Yoshi, is a middleweight racer. That means that she’s generally good at almost everything, without clearly standing out at anything.
All Outfits for Birdo in Mario Kart World
At launch, Birdo features two outfits to choose from. If you’re disappointed by that, realize that Donkey Kong is only given one outfit. Here’s what food you need to unlock these outfits:
- Pro racer: pancakes, donut, cake, burger, fruit salad, curry, ice cream
- Vacation: takoyaki, sushi, pizza, kebab, naan, fish and chips, popcorn
Explore the expansive free-roam world or explore the Mushroom Kingdom via modes like Knockout Tour for chances to get various foods, increasing the likelihood of finding what you need to unlock these costumes. Before too long, you will locate the necessary items and add these outfits to Birdo’s wardrobe!
Mario Kart World is now available on the Nintendo Switch 2.
