| '''Cataquacks''' are duck-like creatures that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' on [[Gelato Beach]]. When they sense [[Mario]] nearby, they speed up and approach him. If they make contact, they will use their beaks to forcefully hurl Mario into the air. They can be both useful and dangerous; the height at which Mario is thrown will damage him if he lands on the same plane from which he was launched. The blue Cataquacks are said to become nervous when confronted by strangers, but never want to harm them. However, the red Cataquacks will harm any strangers that are in their way. Their name may be based on the words ''catapult'' and ''quack'', referring to their behavior and appearance (similar to a [[Wikipedia:Duck|duck]]), respectively. Cataquacks, like [[Plungelo]]s, resemble [[Wiggler]] segments.

| ====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
| |
| In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', Cataquacks come in two colors, red and blue. The blue Cataquacks cannot damage Mario (unless he touches them directly), but the red ones can. The blue variety tends to be rather lazy and will fall asleep if left undisturbed. The red version is reportedly new to the area. However, as the game continues, more and more red Cataquacks are seen, as well as the number of the Cataquacks in general increases. In the end, only one blue Cataquack is remaining. By running into a Cataquack and getting thrown upwards, Mario can get high-floating [[coin]]s. When sprayed with [[F.L.U.D.D.]], they turn over, and Mario can jump on them for an additional coin. When turned over, they will be stunned for a second, but when jumped on, they will be stunned for several seconds. If Mario sprays them over sand, then they'll naturally sink into the sand, eliminating the need for him to jump on them. However, they can only be truly defeated by [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], or when getting catapulted into the air by the outburst of a nearby [[Dune Bud]]. In the eighth episode of Gelato Beach, The Watermelon Festival, Cataquacks have swarmed from the beach to the higher areas of the level. They hinder Mario from rolling the watermelon to the beach; when the rolling watermelon hits a Cataquack, it is thrown upwards and destroyed.
| |
|
| |
|
| In the first episodes, Mario can get a [[Blue Coin]] by overturning the single red Cataquack and jumping on it, and in the last episodes, he can get a Blue Coin by doing so on the remaining blue Cataquack.
| |
|
| |
|
| A sub-species of Cataquacks called [[Plungelo]]s appear as mini-bosses also in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', in Episode 2 of Gelato Beach. | | Home Home Browse Resources Organizations Sanjivani Bharat Foundation |

| In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', Cataquacks make a reappearance. Mario uses them to fling him to high or out-of-reach places. Only the blue variety is present in this game, found in the [[Gold Leaf Galaxy]] and the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]]. Bees are seen to keep them as pets. In this game, they can only be defeated by luring them into the water, where they will vanish, but will reappear shortly after. If Mario [[spin]]s the tail, they will be knocked out for a few seconds. Unlike in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', Cataquacks are completely harmless in this game.

| |
| In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', Cataquacks are revealed to come in purple and green varieties, in addition to the other red and blue colors. The game also reveals that they are also known as '''Pihanas''' (which is similar to their Japanese name, ''Poihana''). They can be found on [[Peach Beach]]. When a [[kart]] runs into them, the car is thrown upwards, stopping the drivers and making them drop their items. The Cataquacks can be temporarily knocked out by [[Green Shell|Green]] and [[Red Shell]]s, as well as [[Thunderbolt (item)|Thunderbolts]].

| This course reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' with the Cataquacks. In that game, exclamation points appear above their heads when they become aware of any passing karts. They also behave a bit differently when karts come through the beach in the [[Wii]] version. In the original version, Cataquacks would not bother karts that were on the stone path along the edge of the beach. However, karts on the path can be attacked by Cataquacks in the Wii version. On Wi-Fi Connection, they do not chase after anyone.
