==History==

The Mario Bros. encounter the Chuckolator during their search for a cure to save [[Queen Bean]] from a [[Belly Blech]]-related disease. When they request some of the Reserve from Bubbles, he explains the amount of time and effort he had invested in perfecting it before showing the Bros. [[Popple]] and [[Rookie]], who had been captured attempting to steal the Chuckola Reserve. Popple yells that the soda was no ordinary beverage and they couldn't stand up to it; the Chuckola Reserve itself then springs to life from its barrel and attacks, sending the thieves flying as Bubbles praises his creation's wonder. He then sets the monster after [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], forcing them to battle it.

==Battle==

The Chuckolator starts out with a wooden shield made from part of its barrel, and is fairly resistant to [[jump]]-based attacks; the best means of damaging the Chuckolator is to first destroy the shield, which it will use to protect itself from the Mario Bros.' [[hammer]] attacks. The Chuckolator attacks by shooting [[bubble]]s of soda from its rifle-like right arm; this is dodged by jumping, with the right arm pointing at the target brother before it shoots. It can also line up with Mario or Luigi and use the sword-like left arm to send blobs of soda straight at its target; these must be stopped with the hammer. Both projectiles possess the same eyes as the Chuckolator itself.

The shield is normally worn on the right arm, and the Chuckolator switches the shield to its "off-hand" when using the other arm for an attack; the shield remains in whichever arm last served as the "off-hand". This does not affect its actual ability to defend against hammer attacks; however, in the original game, the Chuckolator's speed is lower when using the bubble-shooting attack, and switching between attacks will "raise" its speed and possibly allow for consecutive attacks. Destroying the shield makes the Chuckolator more vulnerable to hammer-based moves such as the [[Chopper Bros.]] and lowers its defense in the original game. In the 3DS remake, the Chuckolator's defense is unchanged, only rising when using its sword arm, since the shield is held out in front of it; without the shield, it has the same defense as it does when using its rifle arm.

In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', the Chuckolator is one of the few bosses not to gain the [[Fury]] status after losing half its HP or more, since it instead takes a weaker form as it did in the original.
