The '''S.S. Chuckola''' is a ship visited in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. At first, the ship is landlocked in [[Teehee Valley]]. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] travel here to get the first [[Beanstar]] piece. Upon arriving, some skeleton sailors take the Beanstar piece into the hold because it cracked their ship's hull. When Mario and Luigi venture inside, they notice that all of the sailors are skeletons. Upon speaking to the captain, a red skeleton, the brothers learn that the ship had been washed up on shore long ago. So long, in fact, that all of the sailors turned to skeletons. Mario and Luigi then notice a sailor taking the Beanstar piece into another room. However, a guard permits no entry unless the brothers can get a [[Membership Card]], explaining the cola cellar is too important. It is where they hold all of the ship's [[Chuckola Cola]]. In another room, a skeleton named [[Bink]] who looks surprisingly like [[Donkey Kong]] offers them a job — pushing [[barrel]]s to make rows and columns of seven like-color barrels. Upon completion of the [[minigame]], Bink gives the Mario Bros. a Membership Card, and the Bros. go back to the guard, who lets them pass.

Inside, they find the skeleton with the Beanstar piece. He says he'll give it to them if they can dislodge [[Bloat]], an obese skeleton who got stuck in the wall of the ship after drinking too much Chuckola Cola. One of the sailors hints that Bloat has a secret stash of dynamite somewhere on the ship. The Marios go off in search of it. In the room above the cola cellar, the brothers use their [[Hammer]]s to knock the dynamite down next to Bloat. Mario uses his [[Firebrand]] on the fuse, freeing Bloat. However, before the brothers can receive the Beanstar piece, Teehee Valley's sand starts pouring in the large hole, pushing the ship out to sea. Unfortunately, the S.S. Chuckola hits a large rock and sinks to the bottom of [[Oho Ocean]], where it remains for the rest of the game.

Sailor, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

The S.S. Chuckola (alternatively italicized),[1] also referred to as the Pirate Ship,[2] is a ship landlocked into Teehee Valley and inhabited by skeletal sailors led by a red captain in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. One of the Beanstar pieces lands onto the ship and cracks its hull. Mario and Luigi have to visit the ship in order to retrieve the piece. In the captain's quarters,[3][4] they can learn that the ship sank long ago, when Teehee Valley was an ocean—so long that the sailors have all now become undead skeletons. The duo spots a sailor taking the Beanstar piece into another room, but a guard restricts the duo's entry into said room without a Membership Card. He explains that the room is a cola cellar where the crew holds Chuckola Cola. The Mario Bros. can earn the Membership Card by visiting Bink's room and completing his minigame, which requires matching colored barrels into rows and columns. Upon returning to the cola cellar, the Mario Bros. find the skeleton with the Beanstar piece who offers it in return for the favor of dislodging Bloat, an obese skeleton who has gotten stuck inside a crack in the wall after drinking too much Chuckola Cola. Mario and Luigi locate a stash of dynamite hidden within the ship from using their hammers on blue wooden planks on the left side of the boat. Mario uses Firebrand on its fuse, creating a hole in the wall and freeing Bloat. Before Mario and Luigi can collect their prize, sand begins pouring in through the hole created, with so much force that it pushes the ship back out into Oho Ocean. The ship crashes into a large rock, and it sinks into the Seabed. After this, the ship cannot be reentered for the rest of the game.

Despite being last seen on the ocean floor, the S.S. Chuckola reappears in Cavi Cape in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, albeit with a different design. This is evidenced by the sign attached to a gate, in the original Japanese version of the game, calling the ship by its name. This reference was likely lost in the English version, as the ship's name "Vintage" was instead translated as an adjective.[5] In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, the ship was redesigned to further resemble its new appearance from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, with the same sign now bearing the Chuckola Fruit insignia on the bottom right.[6]
