'''Ukikis'''<ref>As renamed in ''Yoshi's New Island'', ''Yoshi's Woolly World'', and various ''Mario'' games.</ref> (initially spelled '''Ukkikis''',<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide. Page 9.</ref> though '''Ukiki the Monkey'''<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #52, page 42.</ref> was also in use), originally known as '''Grinders'''<ref>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide, [[Media:SMW2 Guide 127.jpg|page 127]], and ''Tetris Attack''.</ref> and sometimes simply referred to as '''monkeys''',<ref>''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' stage titles, ''Yoshi's Island DS'' World 2 introduction, and various ''Mario'' games.</ref> are a species of monkey found in the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' and ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' franchises. They originally appeared in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', with ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' giving them a different name across languages and slightly different appearance. Due to this, it is possible they were not originally intended to be the same thing, but were merged in later games, starting with ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.

===''Yoshi'' franchise===

[[File:Grinder SMW2YI sprite.png|frame]]

Grinders first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its remake, ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. They usually show up in jungle stages and attack [[Yoshi]] in a variety of ways, including spitting seeds and grabbing [[Baby Mario]]; when hit, they turn a darker shade of brown and run away. Some Grinders drop bombs, and were named '''Short Fuses''' in the [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]].<ref name="guide">Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. [[Media:SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|Page 128]].</ref> Others drop [[Needlenose]]s, and were named '''Seedy Sallies'''.<ref name=guide/> Some Grinders are harmless and simply run around the stage, acting as a source of eggs; others swing in long chains. Fleeing Grinders jump onto vines and climb them as high as possible, jumping off and running if a Yoshi gets too close. Grinders can also swim slowly in water. Grinders can be stunned with [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]s or a stomp, after which Yoshi can defeat them by eating them or running over them while they are unconscious. However, they are difficult to eat while running because of their speed. Grinders cannot be defeated while in water, as stunning them instead causes them to "flail" in place. A larger Grinder that wears a red tie and attacks by throwing barrels (a clear reference to [[Donkey Kong]]) was planned, possibly as a boss, but is not implemented in any way in the final release, though its graphics can be found [[List of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island pre-release and unused content|unused]].

 

A Grinder appears in ''[[Tetris Attack]]'' alongside [[Poochy]] in every mode as one of [[Yoshi]]'s opponents. Due to a spell cast by [[Bowser]] and [[Kamek]] that brainwashed them, they tried to stop Yoshi on his adventure to stop Bowser. Once the Grinder is defeated, he and Poochy are freed from the spell and are unlocked as playable characters, though Poochy is used for the icon and the sound effects during gameplay.

[[File:Ukiki Yoshi's Island DS.png|frame|left]]

Ukikis make a reappearance in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. One of them kidnaps [[Baby Peach]] at the beginning of the level [[Baby DK, the Jungle King!]]. They are all harmless, but are still difficult to catch due to their agility. If a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] goes near them, they immediately run away or climb away on nearby vines, though they usually stop once they make it off-screen. They can be stunned by jumping on top of them or by throwing eggs at them. They can be defeated by eating them, or by taking a second hit while they are stunned. Ukikis can be viewed in the Land Enemies exhibit in the Island Museum.

They once again appear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. In this game, Ukikis cannot be eaten (though they can still be defeated by other means, such as a [[Ground Pound]]), and are prominent in the stages [[Ukiki Jammin']] and [[Ukiki Trouble in Clawdaddy Cove]], though they also appear in other levels of [[World 3 (Yoshi's New Island)|World 3]], including [[Rise of the Nasty Nep-Enuts]], [[Harry Hedgehog's Labyrinth]], and [[Ride the Blarggwich]]. They remain almost entirely unchanged from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''

====''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''====

[[File:Ukiki Yoshi's Woolly World.png|thumb|75px|left|An Ukiki from ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']]

Yarn-like versions of Ukikis appear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', where they resemble their in-game sprites from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', instead of their artwork from said game like most appearances. Once again, they cannot be eaten, but can be defeated via other means. Seedy Sally and Short Fuse types also appear in this game.

====''Yoshi's Crafted World''====

[[File:YCW Ukiki.png|thumb|75px|right|Several Ukikis on a vine in ''Yoshi's Crafted World'']]

Ukikis return in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' where they are seen in two levels: [[Jumping to Victory]] and [[Bombs Away on Pirate Island]]. They behave like in previous games and are often seen on vines. Short Fuses return and a new kind of Ukiki that tosses down Yoshi Eggs appears. This marks the first time that Seedy Sallies do not appear. A [[Kong]]-like Ukiki known as [[Uckykong]] makes an appearance, as well as a blue variant called [[Snow Ucky Kong]]. Unlike previously, spitting them out on water can defeat them.

[[File:Ukiki 64.png|thumb|left|75px|A model of an Ukkiki from ''Super Mario 64'']]

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', two Ukkikis inhabit the course [[Tall, Tall Mountain]]. One can be seen following [[Mario]] around and doing tricks. However, if Mario grabs him, he will steal [[Mario Cap|Mario's cap]] and wear it. It will also gain it if it is blown off Mario by the [[Fwoosh]] further up the mountain. To get it back, Mario has to grab him again; this is made more difficult by the fact that Ukkiki now runs away from Mario and jumps over him if he gets cornered. In [[Mystery of the Monkey Cage|the second mission]] of Tall, Tall Mountain, Mario has to catch a different Ukkiki on the very top of the mountain. This one tries to run away from Mario, rather than bother or chase him. When caught, the monkey will promise to give Mario something really good if Mario lets him go. If the player accepts, the Ukkiki will make its way down to the cage (which has the course's [[Power Star]]) and jump on it, making it accessible for Mario to collect. This Ukkiki only appears when the second mission is selected.

====''Super Mario 64 DS''====

[[File:SM64DS - Ukiki Screenshot.png|thumb|200px|Mario encounters an Ukkiki on Tall, Tall Mountain in ''Super Mario 64 DS''.]]

The two Ukkikis reappear in Tall, Tall Mountain in the remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', with the same roles as in the original game. Their design now resembles their artwork from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and replaces the ''Super Mario 64'' design as their standard appearance for further games. With the introduction of different playable characters in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Ukkiki is also given an additional role during gameplay. If any character is wearing another character's [[cap]], Ukkiki will take it. This will cause the disguised character to transform back to their normal selves. An in-game glitch allows [[Wario]] to pick up Ukkiki with the [[Metal Cap]]. Using this method, it is also possible to carry Ukkiki into the water. If [[Yoshi]] eats him, he will tell Yoshi that he will give him a stomachache, but Yoshi can eat the other Ukkiki and spit him out for the Power Star.

In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', Ukkikis make their ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series debut and appear in the mini-game [[Picking Panic]], where they drop the cherries for the player to grab.

In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', Ukikis make an appearance, keeping their look from ''Super Mario 64''. They appear on [[Koopa's Seaside Soiree]], on two junctions on either side of the board. Once a player reaches it, an Ukiki tosses a banana peel that the player immediately slips on. They are forced to continue in whichever direction they slipped in. Ukikis also appear in the [[minigame]] [[Tree Stomp]], in which they throw banana peels at players, cheering if one of them slips. They occasionally throw a [[Golden Banana|golden banana]] that makes any player who picks it up move faster for a while.

[[File:Ukiki Capsule.jpg|thumb|left|50px|The [[Ukiki Capsule]] in ''Mario Party 5'']]

In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', they appear in the minigame [[Chimp Chase]], in which four variants of Ukikis make an appearance: gray, blue, red and very rare gold ones. Besides a difference in appearance, they all behave the same. In the minigame, baby Ukikis are running around, and they have to be grabbed and delivered to the adult Ukiki that is colored correspondingly to it. Delivering a baby to the wrong adult makes them scream in rage, paralyzing the player who delivered the baby and freezing all of the baby Ukikis of the same color. Golden baby Ukikis occasionally appear, running much faster than the others, and not only can they be delivered to any adult, but they are also worth more than the others. An [[Ukiki Capsule]] also appears; using it, whether by throwing it onto a space and landing on it or used directly on the player for ten [[coin]]s, summons an Ukiki that randomly selects another player and throws all of their [[Orb|capsule]]s onto random board spaces.

[[File:MP6 Mario.jpg|thumb|right|An Ukiki with [[Mario]] in ''Mario Party 6'']]

In ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', Ukikis appear in [[Castaway Bay]] hosting a special [[coin]]-collecting minigame. They also appear in various minigames such as [[Snow Brawl]] in the day, where they act as allies to the solitary player, and [[Strawberry Shortfuse]], where they deliver plates with either cakes or explosives. They also appear in the Memory Quiz, the Variety Quiz, the Comparison Quiz, and the Counting Quiz of [[Speak Up]].

[[File:MPA See Monkey Screenshot.png|thumb|left|A group of Ukikis in [[See Monkey?]]]]

Two Ukiki characters appear in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'': [[Ukiki (character)|Ukiki]], the mayor of the [[Jungle Area]], and [[Akiki]], Ukiki's niece. The two of them live in the [[Ukiki House]]. Generic Ukikis also appear in the minigame [[See Monkey?]], which involves saving ten Ukikis from drowning in a lake while the player rides in a boat. Once the player come into contact with an Ukiki, they are given a lifebuoy and get attached to the boat. The minigame is failed if any of the Ukikis are missed once the time limit runs out.

[[File:UkikiMP7.png|thumb|Some Ukikis cleaning the floor]]

In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', Ukikis appear as the main hazard in the [[Apes of Wrath]] minigame, as well as in the background of the forest-themed Duel minigames like [[Camp Ukiki]]. They also cameo in the backgrounds of the Minigame Cruise, cleaning [[Peach's Cruiser]], and the [[Royal Rumpus]] minigame, playing on swing sets. As of this game, Ukikis began to consistently appear in their ''Yoshi's Island'' design.

[[File:CardUkiki.png|thumb|100px|left|An Ukiki on a card in [[Cardiators]]]]

In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Ukikis appear in [[DK's Treetop Temple]], where they are summoned if a player lands on an [[Event Space]]. They roll down the stage on barrels, knocking over anyone in their path and taking ten coins from them. Mechanical Ukikis appear in the minigame [[Flip the Chimp]], with each player controlling an Ukiki; they have to make their Ukiki climb to the top of a tree while avoiding falling coconuts. They also appear in the battle minigame [[Snipe for the Picking]], where two Ukikis are seen turning cranks in the introductory cutscene, and in the duel minigame [[Cardiators]] on the "2" card and the "6" card. If the "2" card is chosen, a single Ukiki attacks the opposing player for two damage, and if the "6" card is chosen, three Ukikis attack the opposing player for six damage.

Ukikis return in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', in the minigame [[Strawberry Shortfuse]] from ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', and have the same role.

Ukikis reappear in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', in the minigame Picking Panic from ''Mario Party 3'', and have the same role. They are one of the collectible encyclopedia pages.

Ukikis appear in ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'' in the [[Banana Storm]] minigame. They can drop bananas, which Mario or Luigi collects, and [[Spiny Egg]]s, which stun Mario or Luigi.

===Other appearances===

[[File:MG64 Pin Shot Ukiki.png|thumb|right|An Ukkiki appearing after a Pin Shot in ''Mario Golf'' (N64)]]

Grinders appear in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]'' as enemies in the modernized ''[[Greenhouse]]'' minigame.  

Ukikis have made appearances in several games, including ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', and ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', as members of the audience, though they do nothing but cheer. The name "Ukkiki" also appears on the scoreboard in ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]] and ''[[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|Mario Golf]]'' for the [[Game Boy Color]]. If the player gets a [[Pin Shot]] in the Nintendo 64 version, they will see an Ukkiki climbing down the flagpole.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', an Ukiki makes an appearance as a [[spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]].
