Chuck-Yas,[1] initially formatted as Chuckyas,[2] are a large purple variant of Bob-omb found in Super Mario 64 and its remake, Super Mario 64 DS. Their name comes from a corruption of the phrase "chuck you," referring to their method of attack. In their original appearance, Chuck-Yas 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, Chuck-Yas produce winding sounds, similarly to Heave-Hos.
In Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, Chuck-Yas 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 remake. When Mario is in range of a Chuck-Ya, it charges towards him, and if a Chuck-Ya catches him, it picks him up and throws him in a random direction, similarly to what the Big Bob-omb does. It is possible to escape from a Chuck-Ya's grasp by pressing 
and/or pushing the Control Stick from the inside to the outside 11 times before the Chuck-Ya throws Mario.[3] Chuck-Yas patrol small areas. Usually, Mario can be thrown down a far distance or even into a pit. While moving, Chuck-Yas occasionally pause to turn around. To defeat a Chuck-Ya, Mario must pick it up from behind and throw it, causing it to explode and release five coins. In Super Mario 64 DS, Yoshi cannot defeat Chuck-Yas because he cannot pick up enemies.
In Mario Golf for the Nintendo 64, Chuckya's name is sometimes displayed on the scorecard.
