Afterwards, they reach a "Chucklehuck Woods Chuckalola" area, where they meet Mother Chuckalola herself: a tan, smiling tree with pink leaves and a large, striped trunk. Amidst Chuckalola is also a door-like entryway; Mario and Luigi use this to access Chuckalola's (surprisingly long) insides, which [[Cork and Cask]] had aptly described as a sanctuary. In the hollow tree, they find [[Bubbles]] and the Chuckola Reserve itself, as well as an unfortunate pair of Popple and Rookie, both of whom were kidnapped by the insane Bubbles. The Chuckola Reserve then erupted into [[Chuckolator]], who attacked the Mario Bros., resulting in a battle within the depths of Mother Chuckalola; the last of the great tree was seen when Bubbles broke a hole in her to make Mario and Luigi forcedly fall into an underground labyrinth below her.
Chuckalola is first mentioned by [[Chuckleroot]], who informs [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] that the "great tree" is right ahead.

After the Chuckolator's defeat, it reverted into the Reserve and Bubbles collapsed the floor of Mother Chuckalola, sending it, along with Mario and Luigi, to an underground cavern.


As she plays a very minor part in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', little is known about Mother Chuckalola; as a matter of fact, it is not confirmed that she (being a tree) even possesses gender. It is also unknown if she, like Chuckleroot and his unnamed granddaughter, is sapient, although her trunk does include what would appear to be a face. As Chuckleroot is the only one to actually call Chuckalola by her presumably full name "Mother Chuckalola", it is possible that she literally is Chuckleroot's mother (or, if the living trees of Chucklehuck Woods are to be thought of as more realistic, the plant that produced Chuckleroot's seeds); finally, little is known about Mother Chuckalola's importance to Chucklehuck Woods.

Mother Chuckalola, found at the end of Chucklehuck Woods

Mother Chuckalola, also known simply as Chuckalola, is a large tree found at the very end of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga's Chucklehuck Woods area, where she houses the Chuckola Reserve. She is a tan tree with pink leaves and a large, striped trunk with a door-like entryway at her base. Her name is a play on "Chuckola" and the female given name "Lola".

Chuckalola is first mentioned by Chuckleroot, who informs Mario and Luigi that the "great tree" is right ahead. The brothers then come upon and enter the tree, however they were preceded by Popple and Rookie who are promptly captured by Bubbles, the man who tends to the Chuckola Reserve. Upon Mario and Luigi's arrival, the Chuckola Reserve morphs into Chuckolator and Bubbles sends it after the brothers. After the Chuckolator's defeat, it reverted into the Reserve and Bubbles collapsed the floor of Mother Chuckalola, sending it, along with Mario and Luigi, to an underground cavern.
