| '''Chucksters''', also known as '''Pianta Throwers''',<ref>{{cite|author=Black, Fletcher|title=''Mario Party 8'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=26|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=May 25, 2007|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-5618-4}}</ref> are a variant of [[Pianta]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They are capable of throwing [[Mario]] a good distance behind them or above them. Chucksters usually toss Mario after he speaks to them.

| ==History==
| | '''Chucksters''' are a variant of [[Pianta]]s in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They are capable of chucking [[Mario]] a good distance behind them or above them. This is especially helpful for speedy nearby navigation. Talking to a Pianta is often what reveals them as a Chuckster, as they throw Mario immediately afterward. |
| ===''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''====
| | 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. |
| 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''===
| | A particular Chuckster 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 Chuckster again for another attempt. |
| 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.

|
| ==Quotes==
| | The angle at which Mario speaks to a Chuckster is a major factor for where he will wind up afterward. This concept is the focus of the bonus area of [[Pianta Village]], which features a variety of Chucksters. Some must be spoken to at a specific angle to either move on to the next or collect items. |
| *"''I'm a chuckster!''"
| | |
| *"''Don't hold back! Grrrarrgaah!''"
| | In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', Chucksters are found throughout, and exclusively throughout, [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]]. Mario does not need to initiate dialogue with them to be thrown. |
| *"''I may be little, but I never give up!''"
| | |
| *"''Higher! Higher!''"
| | In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', if the player lands on an [[Event Space]] in [[Goomba's Booty Boardwalk]] in front of a yellow Pianta, the Pianta tosses them a short distance in a manner similar to that of a Chuckster's. |
| *"''Howdy! Throw me a coin, and I'll throw you for a loop!''"
| |
| *"''Yeeaaah! And awaaaaay you go!''"
| |
| *"''My wife can toss people farther than I can!''"
