TheParakeet (known as theBudgie in the PAL version ofSuper Mario Maker) is abudgerigar originating from theNintendo DSi application titled Nintendo DSi Sound, and appearing again in theNintendo 3DS Camera andNintendo 3DS Sound application. Occasionally, he would play recorded sound clips through a distortion filter.
The Parakeet returns inSuper Mario Maker, where he is able to record off the built-in microphone on theWii U GamePad. The sound recorded by the player can be then placed into the level. Only one sound can be saved to the level at a time, and when uploading the course online, the recorded sound will be replaced by a generic parakeet chirp. A bird will also flutter on screen for a short second whenever activated. The Parakeet option can be accessed by going into theSoundfrog menu. He is not to be confused withYamamura, the rock dove that appears in the game. There is a similar, alternate chicken icon that behaves in a similar way; it will either play a chicken cluck or a sped up or slowed down recording of the player.
The Parakeet is also one of theofficial course makers inSuper Mario Maker, and has created two levels:Parallel World andBurning Barrage.
