So I’ve been playing a totally legit copy of Captain Rainbow on my totally not modified Wii and it goes into the whole “what gender is Birdo” thing in a way that’s relevant today. (Which just means that we are going backwards.)
So Mappo (a robot from Giftpia, which is another game I hope gets at least mostly translated someday) arrests Birdo for “using the wrong bathroom.” He takes a picture of her standing in front of the woman’s bathroom as proof.
To get Mappo to release her you have to go to her house and grab her vibrating “proof of her femininity.” (Which doesn’t necessarily prove anything, but still.)
I concluded from this that she was able to get bottom surgery. That or this is a different Birdo. I think “Birdo” was supposed to be the name of the species and not the individual. (That, or she changes color/abilities.)
I shot them both into space.
What’s actually criminal is how underrated this game is! It only sold a little over 20,000 copies. A lot of the people who worked on this game also worked on Chibi-Robo, which is also a criminally underrated game.
