“Ook...oookiii! (I used your capsules!)”
Ukiki, Mario Party 5

Ukikis, also known as Ukkikis or Monkeys, are a species of primate found in the Mario series.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario 64

In Super Mario 64, two Ukiki inhabit Tall, Tall Mountain. One can be seen following Mario around and doing tricks. However, if Mario grabs him, he will steal Mario's hat and wear it. To get it back, Mario has to grab him again; this is made difficult by the fact that Ukiki now runs away from the plumber. In the second mission of Tall, Tall Mountain, Mario has to catch a different Ukiki on the very top of the mountain; when caught, the monkey will jump on a cage with a star for Mario, making it accessible.

Super Mario 64 DS

In the remake Super Mario 64 DS, if any character was wearing another character's hat, the monkey would take it and the character would transform back into himself. A glitch allowed Wario to pick up Ukiki using the Metal Cap and could even carry him into the water.

Mario Party series

Mario Party 4

In Mario Party 4, they toss a banana, which, upon being slipped on, will determine a character's path around the game board.

Mario Party 5

In Mario Party 5, they were revealed to also come in other colors: gray, blue, red and very rare gold ones. They had their own capsule as well: when activated, the Ukiki would use all of another character's capsules.

Mario Party 6

In Mario Party 7, (where they looked like Grinders), Ukikis cameoed in the background of the Mini-game Cruise, cleaning Peach's Cruiser.

Mario Party 8

In Mario Party 8, Ukikis appeared in DK's Treetop Temple, where they would roll down the stage on barrels, taking ten coins from anyone in their path. Mechanical Ukikis appeared in the mini-game Flip the Chimp. Also in the battle mini-game Snipe for the Picking there are two Ukikis turning cranks.

Mario Party Advance

In Mario Party Advance, a female Ukiki named Akiki (who happens to be the niece of an individual Ukiki who is named "Ukiki") appears.
