'''Chuckyas''' are large purple creatures that resemble [[Bob-omb]]s and are found in the game ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. They have red hands(boxing gloves in the remake) and gray arms as well as red orbs on their heads, and they move about by sliding on the ground on what appears to be a magnetic tip. They move around a small area, and if [[Mario]] gets too close, they pick him up and throw him in a random direction, an attack method similar to [[Big Bob-omb]]'s.  


Unlike other Bob-omb species, Chuckyas don't attack by exploding. To defeat a Chuckya, Mario must pick the creature up from behind and throw the Chuckya, causing the enemy to explode and release five yellow [[Coin]]s. [[Yoshi]] cannot defeat these enemies in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' due to limits on his abilities. They are found in [[Wet-Dry World]], [[Tall Tall Mountain]], [[Rainbow Ride]], the "huge" area of [[Tiny-Huge Island]], and [[Bowser in the Sky]], as well as the exclusive [[Battle Fort]] in the remake. In the remake, they have wind-up keys on their backs, adding to their mechanical appearance. When moving, they make the sound of a working machine, similar to the [[Heave Ho]].
In ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Chuckyas 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 DS remake. When [[Mario]] is in range of a Chuckya, it charges towards him, and if a Chuckya catches him, it picks him up and throws him in a random direction, similarly to what the [[King Bob-omb|Big Bob-omb]] does.

Variant of Bob-omb

Chuckyas[1][2] (also formatted as Chuck-Yas)[3] are a large purple variant of Bob-omb found in Super Mario 64 and 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, Chuckyas 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, Chuckyas produce winding sounds, similarly to Heave-Hos.

In Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, Chuckyas 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 DS remake. When Mario is in range of a Chuckya, it charges towards him, and if a Chuckya 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 Chuckya's grasp by pressing A Button and/or pushing the Control Stick from the inside to the outside 11 times before the Chuckya throws Mario.[4] Chuckyas patrol small areas. Usually, Mario can be thrown down a far distance or even into a pit. While moving, Chuckyas occasionally pause to turn around. To defeat a Chuckya, 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 Chuckyas, because he cannot pick up enemies.

In Mario Golf for the Nintendo 64, Chuckya's name is sometimes displayed on the scorecard.
