'''Pianta Throwers'''<ref>Black, Fletcher. ''Mario Party 8'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 26.</ref> are a variant of [[Pianta]]s in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They are capable of throwing [[Mario]] a good distance behind them or above them. Pianta Throwers will usually toss Mario after he speaks to them.


==History==
This ability appears to be developed and practiced, as is the case with two particular Piantas in [[Ricco Harbor]]. As the player unlocks and plays through more episodes, they become more skilled at tossing Mario, to the point where they are both able to do so with good results.
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
[[File:Secret of the Village Underside.png|thumb|left|The Pianta Village episode Secret of the Village Underside is centered around chucksters.]]
In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', a chuckster can be first found on the roof of a building in [[Delfino Plaza]]. Mario has to have at least one [[coin]] to pay the chuckster to throw Mario behind him, into an isolated room of a building that has the [[Shine Sprite]] of [[Mario Toss]]. In [[Ricco Harbor]], there are two Piantas who become increasingly skilled at throwing Mario in later [[mission|episodes]]. Lastly, chucksters are the main focus of the [[Pianta Village]] episode [[Secret of the Village Underside]], where Mario needs the assistance of several chucksters to move between areas and obtain the Shine Sprite at the end. The angle at which Mario speaks to a chuckster determines where he will be thrown, which is exceptionally noticeable in the episode Secret of the Village Underside, as talking to a chuckster at a bad angle here can result in Mario being thrown into the surrounding [[pit]], costing him a life.


====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
A particular Pianta Thrower is found on the roof of one of the buildings in [[Delfino Plaza]]. If he is spoken to and given a [[coin]], he hurls Mario behind him, into the building in which the [[Shine Sprite]] is held. If thrown off-target, Mario may miss the building and must speak to the Pianta Thrower again for another attempt.
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', chucksters are found exclusively throughout [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]] during the level [[Climbing the Cloudy Tower]]. Mario does not need to initiate dialogue with them to be thrown, as simply coming into contact with them from the front has them throw Mario into the air.


===''Mario Party 8''===
The angle at which Mario speaks to a Pianta Thrower is a major factor for where he will wind up afterward. This concept is the focus of the episode [[Secret of the Village Underside]] in [[Pianta Village]], which features a variety of Pianta Throwers. Some must be spoken to at a specific angle to either move on to the next or collect items. Many of the Pianta Throwers here refer to themselves as "chucksters", though it is unclear what this means, since one of them implies that not all Pianta Throwers are chucksters.
In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', if the player lands on a [[Event Space|Green Space]] on [[Goomba's Booty Boardwalk]] in front of a yellow Pianta, the Pianta tosses them a short distance.
