Their name comes from a corruption of the phrase "chuck you," referring to their method of attack. In their original appearance, Chuckyas have red spheres for hands and purple arms, as well as yellow antennas with red orbs on their heads; their backs have black, diamond-shaped plates, and they move about by sliding across the ground on a metal point. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', they have a somewhat different appearance consisting of grey arms with boxing glove-like hands and white antennas, and the plates on their backs are replaced by gold windup keys, giving them a closer resemblance to normal Bob-ombs. When moving, Chuckyas produce winding sounds, similarly to [[Heave-Ho]]s.
'''Chuckyas'''<ref>''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide. Page 11.</ref>, also formatted as '''Chuck-Yas'''<ref>Knight, Michael. ''Nintendo DS'' Pocket Guide. Pages 327, 348.</ref>, are a large purple version of [[Bob-omb]]s found in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its [[Super Mario 64 DS|remake]]. They have red spheres for hands and purple arms as well as red orbs on a yellow antenna on their heads, their backs have a black, diamond-shaped plate, and they move about by sliding across the ground on a metal point. In the remake, they have a slightly different appearance; their hands are now boxing gloves, their arms are grey and their antenna is white, and they lose the plate in exchange for a gold wind-up key on their backs, making them more closely resemble normal Bob-ombs.


In ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Chuckyas are encountered in [[Wet-Dry World]]; on [[Tall, Tall Mountain]]; in [[Rainbow Ride]]; on [[Tiny-Huge Island]]'s "huge" portion; and in [[Bowser in the Sky]], as well as in [[Battle Fort]] exclusively in the DS remake. When [[Mario]] is in range of a Chuckya, it charges towards him, and if a Chuckya catches him, it picks him up and throws him in a random direction, similarly to what the [[King Bob-omb|Big Bob-omb]] does. It is possible to escape from a Chuckya's grasp by pressing {{button|n64|A}} and/or pushing the Control Stick from the inside to the outside 11 times before the Chuckya throws Mario.<ref>{{cite|author=UncommentatedPannen|date=September 26, 2017|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R8c70zuJSw|title=Escaping from Chuckya's Grasp|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=May 27, 2024}}</ref> Chuckyas patrol small areas. Usually, Mario can be thrown down a far distance or even into a [[pit]]. While moving, Chuckyas occasionally pause to turn around. To defeat a Chuckya, Mario must pick it up from behind and throw it, causing it to explode and release five [[coin]]s. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', [[Yoshi]] cannot defeat Chuckyas, because he cannot pick up enemies.
Chuckyas patrol a small area, occasionally pausing to turn around. When Mario is in range, they charge towards Mario in attempt to pick him up and throw him in a random direction, similar to [[King Bob-omb]]. To defeat a Chuckya, Mario must pick the creature up from behind and throw the Chuckya, causing the enemy to explode and release five yellow [[Coin]]s. [[Yoshi]] cannot defeat these enemies in ''Super Mario 64 DS''. They are found in [[Wet-Dry World]], [[Tall, Tall Mountain]], [[Rainbow Ride]], the "huge" area of [[Tiny-Huge Island]], and [[Bowser in the Sky]], as well as the exclusive [[Battle Fort]] in the remake. The placement of Chuckyas usually means Mario can be thrown down a cliff or platform, taking fall damage upon landing, or even being thrown off the map and losing an [[Extra life|life]]. When moving, they produce winding sounds, similar to [[Heave-Ho]]s.
 
In the original game, it is possible to escape from Chuckya's grasp by either pressing {{button|n64|A}} and/or pushing the control stick from the inside to the outside 11 times before Chuckya throws Mario.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R8c70zuJSw ''Escaping from Chuckya's Grasp'', UncommentatedPannen]</ref>


In ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], Chuckya's name is sometimes displayed on the scorecard.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The Chuckya's method of attack is similar to that of an unused ''Super Mario 64'' enemy named "[[List of Super Mario 64 pre-release and unused content#Enemies|Motos]]," which was discovered in 2020 from assembled source code and shares the same form of attack as the Chuckya, but instead has a [[Bully]]'s weakness to [[lava]] and the Big Bob-omb's slow walking speed and fast in-place turning.
*Chuckya's method of attack may have been reworked from an unused ''Super Mario 64'' enemy named [[List of Super Mario 64 pre-release and unused content#Enemies|"Motos"]], which was discovered in 2020 from assembled source code and shares the same form of attack as Chuckya.
