Pidgit

Pidgit is an enemy which appears in the Mario series.

Super Mario Bros. 2
Pidgit first appears in Super Mario Bros. 2 as a common aerial enemy. Pidgit's first level appearance is in World 1-2.

In the game, Pidgit attacks the player by attempting to swoop right into him/her. As the Pidgit descends from the sky, the player must jump atop it or its carpet and throw Pidgit off to gain a ten second control of the carpet until the carpet vanishes. This carpet is normally used to reach inaccessible areas in a level.

Pidgit reappears in the Super Mario Bros. 2 game as a part of Super Mario All-Stars and in Super Mario Advance. Instead of its black coloration, its color is changed to blue (purple as depicted in the art).
