| '''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==
| | They aren't always too accurate though. |
| ===''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''====
| | {{stub}} |
| 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''===
| | [[Category:Sub-Species]] |
| 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.
