“Whack-OOWWWWWWW!!! Don't hit me!”
Whacka, Paper Mario

Template:Species-infobox Whackas are sentient blue mole-like creatures that live on the west side of Mt. Rugged, near the shore of Keelhaul Key, and near Downtown of Crag. Hitting one on the head with a Hammer or a Shell will make a Whacka's Bump, an edible and valuable item, appear. However, this causes internal injuries to the Whacka. If they are hit too many times, they will die, releasing a few coins. Since their bumps are so valuable, Whackas are an endangered species and should be treated with care. According to Wonky, there is only one Whacka left in the world; Russ T. said the same, attributing the disappearances of the Whackas to hunting. However, this may be false as, in Mario Party 6; on the Snowflake Lake board, Whacka-like creatures can be seen popping up out of the snow.

When Whacka disappears in Super Paper Mario, a Cragnon named Norite appears where Whacka popped out. She claims that the Whacka was her friend.

At one point, the Whacka on Mt. Rugged sends Parakarry a letter stating he one day dreams of flying. The Whacka that appears in Super Paper Mario's Catch Card can be obtained by collecting three hundred shop points.


Catch Card

Whacka's Catch Card.

Card Type: Rare

Card Description: This odd guy sprouts pastries when whacked on the head. Sadly, his kind is on the verge of extinction. Please headwhack in moderation.

Tattle Information

Paper Mario Tattle

  • He's a Whacka. When you hit Whackas, they get Bumps that fall off. I heard that they're yummy. You know, I'm not normally into hitting Whackas, but once I heard of their tasty Bumps...I got the urge to whack'em!

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door Tattle

  • That's a rare Whacka. I don't think you see many of his kind anymore, nope. If you whack a Whacka, they drop a Whacka Bump. Those are supposed to be delicious. They fetch a high price in gourmet auctions, too. Yup, super-precious delicacies. Still, whacking a defenseless creature to get one... You'd never do that, right, Mario?

Trivia

  • Whacka's name is derived from the popular arcade game "Whack-a-Mole" where the player has to hit a mole that comes out from a hole.
  • In addition to a Whacka actually appearing in Super Paper Mario, a Sammer Guy by the name of Wrath of Whacka appears, hoping to avenge the smitten Whackas of the dimensions.
  • If Mario uses Bombette to hit the Whacka, it'll be hurt. However, it won't drop any Bump.
