Why did Birdo serve Wart?

(1/2) > >>

Ganon Vader:
Why would Yoshi's girlfriend serve an evil frog? What's in it for Birdo?

Lizard Dude:
Birdo's primary motivation has always been depicted as lust. In SMRPG she gives you a key after calling you cute. In M&LSS she joins Popple because she's in love with him. In Captain Rainbow she immediately makes you her boyfriend after you rescue her from jail. In both PMSS and PMCS she sings about romance.

So even though it's not addressed in-game, I'd say she was undoubtedly serving Wart because she loved him.

The Chef:
Even then, outside of Mario Tennis and Mario Kart, Birdo spends most of her time being an evil henchwoman. Her being Yoshi's girlfriend was probably never a factor in anything, and they didn't even become a thing until well after both Mario USA and Mario RPG.

Not at all. Let's look at every non-sports game with Birdo:

Super Mario Bros. 2 — Evil henchwoman
Wario's Woods — Helpful ally of Toad against Wario
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars — Peacefully sitting in an egg, asks Mario to play. Mario and party RUTHLESSLY SHATTER HER EGG UNPROVOKED, she still plays with them for awhile and then nicely gives them a key. Thought: "I just love life!"
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga — Evil henchwoman
Captain Rainbow — Locked in jail for using the women's restroom and your girlfriend once you free her
Paper Mario: Sticker Star — Pop star
Paper Mario: Color Splash — Pop star

CrossEyed7:
And SMB2 may or may not have been a dream anyway, so really all we have to go on is her working for Popple
