| | '''The Chimp''' is a blue [[monkey]] NPC appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. He resembles a blue-furred [[Ukiki]] with sunglasses and a piece of long blue and yellow hair sticking out over his head similar to [[Iggy]]'s, as well as showing a competitive nature. [[Mario]] meets The Chimp in [[Fluffy Bluff Galaxy]] just after finding the Captain of the [[Toad Brigade]], which he shows interest for a climbing race against the plumber after watching him using the [[Cloud Flower]]. The Chimp later challenges Mario to a contest where he has to stomp on enemies and collect the coins, to get 10,000 points or more, with a time limit of 2 minutes (120 seconds). |

He is a blue monkey that wears sunglasses and somewhat resembles a [[Ukiki]], with yellow hair on his head in a style similar to [[Iggy]]'s. The Chimp is competitive by nature and challenges [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) to beat his records in various games across different [[galaxy|galaxies]]. | |

| | Later, he appears in [[Freezy Flake Galaxy]], where he challenges Mario to a Whack-a-Mole style of game, where Mario has to get 500 points or more, while avoiding the spiky [[Gummit]]s, and hitting the green or gold ones. |
| Mario first meets The Chimp in the [[Fluffy Bluff Galaxy]], just after finding the [[Captain Toad|Toad Brigade Captain]], when he shows interest in a climbing race against Mario after watching him use the [[Cloud Flower]]. The Chimp later challenges Mario to [[The Chimp's Stomp Challenge|a contest]] where he has to [[stomp]] on enemies and collect the [[coin]]s to get 10,000 [[point]]s or more with a time limit of two minutes (120 seconds).

| | In [[Melty Monster Galaxy]]'s [[Secret Star]], Mario needs to knockdown [[Pinhead]]s with the [[Rock Mushroom]]. Getting 5,000 points or more, the Chimp gives him a Power Star. He next shows up in the [[Shiverburn Galaxy]] and challenges [[Mario]] to another skating challenge, but with 600 points as the target score. Even after, he appears in [[Honeyhop Galaxy]], where Mario needs to defeat enemies to get points.

| | He makes his final appearance in the [[Slimy Spring Galaxy]] where he challenges Mario to another point challenge. This challenge is unique, however, in that it is done mostly underwater, where Mario must shine a shell's light on [[Snoodle]]s and [[Boos]]. If the player can defeat this challenge and score 10,000 points or more in 180 seconds (three minutes), he gives the player a star, after requesting that Mario teaches him some of his moves. |

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Chimp is the only competitor character not to directly challenge Mario to races, a trait differentiating him from his predecessors: [[Koopa the Quick]] (''[[Super Mario 64]]''), [[Il Piantissimo]] (''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''), [[Cosmic Mario]] (''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''), and the [[Spooky Speedster]] (''Super Mario Galaxy'').
| |
| *If the player fails a mission that The Chimp delivered to them via [[letter|mail]], the player will lose a life. However, if they fail a secret mission such as the ice-skating challenge, they will be able to start over without losing a life.
