Editing Ukiki

'''Ukikis''' (initially spelled '''Ukkikis''',<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott, and Dan Owsen|title=''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide|page=9|date=1996|language=en|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> though '''Ukiki the Monkey'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #52|date=July 1997|page=42|publisher=Catalyst Publishing|language=en-au}}</ref> was also in use), originally known as '''Grinders'''<ref name=guide>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|page={{file link|SMW2 Guide 127.jpg|127}}|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en}}</ref> and sometimes referred to as '''monkeys''',<ref>''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' stage titles, ''Yoshi's Island DS'' World 2 introduction, and various other ''Super Mario'' games.</ref> are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. These monkeys appeared in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' soon after, and they were given different names across languages and a slightly different appearance. Due to this, it is possible they were not originally intended to be the same entity, but they were merged in later games, starting with ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Ukikis often take on the role of audience members in various spinoff games, such as ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', the [[Super Mario Stadium (series)|''Super Mario Stadium'' series]], and ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. When they appear as enemies, they steal things like [[Mario Cap|Mario's hat]], which is likely a reference to how real monkeys that have gotten used to human presence are known to steal hats, glasses, and other loose articles in search of easy-to-obtain food.

Grinders appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]]. They are encountered in jungle stages mainly. A Grinder attacks mainly by spitting [[watermelon]] seeds or stealing [[Baby Mario]]. There are Grinders that drop [[bomb]]s and [[Needlenose]]s, named '''Short Fuses'''<ref name=guide2>{{cite|author=Miller and Munson|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|page={{file link|SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|128}}}}</ref> and '''Seedy Sallies'''.<ref name=guide2/> in American English, respectively. Some Grinders run around the stage and others swing on long chains. A Grinder becomes darker when hit and runs away. As a Grinder runs away, it climbs up a vine until approached again, then it jumps off and begins to run. Grinders can swim slowly in water. An [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] or a stomp can stun a Grinder, and [[swallow|eating]] or running into a stunned Grinder defeats it. Grinders cannot be defeated while in the water. Unused graphics of a [[List of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island pre-release and unused content|larger Grinder]] wearing a red tie and throwing barrels to attack, a la [[Donkey Kong]], exists in the game's data.

Ukkikis appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. The latter game replaces their ''Super Mario 64'' design with a new one that resembles their artwork from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' as their standard appearance for further games. Two Ukkikis are encountered on [[Tall, Tall Mountain]]. One follows the player character and performs tricks. If this Ukkiki is grabbed or the player character is blown away by a [[Fwoosh]], it comes in possession of [[Mario Cap|Mario's cap]], or a [[cap]] worn by any character in the [[Reissue|remake]], and starts wearing it. While having a cap, the Ukkiki runs from the player character and jumps over him when cornered, but the Ukkiki loses the hat when grabbed by the player character. The other Ukkiki appears only in the [[Mystery of the Monkey Cage|second mission]], when the player selects it directly, and it is located on top of the mountain. The Ukkiki tries to flee from the player character, but after being caught (or swallowed if the player plays as Yoshi), the Ukkiki promises a reward if the player agrees to release it. The Ukkiki then opens a nearby cage, allowing for its [[Power Star]] to be collected. [[list of Super Mario 64 pre-release and unused content|Unused text]] reveals that the "nice" Ukkiki would have originally revealed that the "enemy" one is his naughty brother, '''Wakkiki'''.<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|title=[[tcrf:Development:Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64)/Dialogue & Text|Development:Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64)/Dialogue & Text]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=April 9, 2022}}</ref> In the remake, the mischievous Ukkiki says that Yoshi will receive a stomachache from trying to eat him.

A Ukkiki is a background character in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. It is depicted in silhouette form with a hat while driving a bus in [[N64 Toad's Turnpike|Toad's Turnpike]].<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo|quote=「ハイウェイバスの運転手（シルエット）は、『スーパーマリオ64』のウッキーです。」(The highway bus driver (silhouette) is an Ukkiki from Super Mario 64.)|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nmkj/index2.html|title=ジュゲムが贈るマル秘密攻略法|publisher=Nintendo.co.jp|language=ja|accessdate=June 24, 2022}}</ref>

Ukiki is a non-playable character in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. He lives with his niece [[Akiki]] in the [[Ukiki House]] within the [[jungle area]], of which he is the mayor. He loves pastries and children.<ref>{{cite|author=In-game description|title=''Mario Party Advance''|quote=A kind soul who loves kids and all kinds of baked goods.|language=en|date=2005}}</ref> Ukiki plays a prank on Akiki at one point, having written a letter stating that he has been kidnapped and gives a clue to his whereabouts,<ref>{{cite|author=Ukiki|date=2005|publisher=Nintendo|title=''Mario Party Advance''|language=en|quote=bIg teAM cAT leaTHEr fLAKE!? blarmpot}}</ref> with the capital letters spelling "I AM AT [[Loch Dorrie|THE LAKE]]." The player agrees to help Akiki find Ukiki when they encounter her. Ukiki is found at Loch Dorrie, and he jumps out, finding the player instead of Akiki, whom he had expected instead.<ref>{{cite|quote=...Wait, you're not Akiki!|author=Ukiki|language=en|publisher=Nintendo|date=2005|title=''Mario Party Advance''}}</ref> After being notified of the situation, Ukiki apologizes and rewards the [[Mini Maze]] [[Gaddget]] before leaving to Akiki. The ending states that Ukiki resigned as mayor and is still on good terms with Akiki.
