The Chimp

“They call me The Chimp. Seems like you may be a worthy high-climbing rival.”

—The Chimp, Super Mario Galaxy 2

Mario meets The Chimp.

The Chimp is a monkey character appearing in Super Mario Galaxy 2. He resembles a blue-furred Ukiki with sunglasses and a piece of long blue and yellow hair sticking out over his head, as well as showing a competitive nature. Mario meets The Chimp in Fluffy Bluff Galaxy just after finding the Captain of the Toad Brigade, which he shows interest for a climbing race against the plumber after watching him using the Cloud Flower. The Chimp later challenges Mario to a contest where he has to stomp on enemies and collect the coins, to get 10,000 points or more, with a time limit of 2 minutes (120 seconds).

Later, he appears in Freezy Flake Galaxy, where he challenges Mario to a Whack-a-Mole style of game, where he has to get 500 points or more, while avoiding the spiky Gummits, and hitting the green or gold ones.

In Melty Monster Galaxy's Secret Star, Mario needs to knockdown Pinheads with the Rock Mushroom. Getting 5,000 points or more, the Chimp gives him a Power Star. He next shows up in the Shiverburn Galaxy and challenges Mario to another skating challenge. Even after, he appears in Honeyhop Galaxy, where Mario needs to defeat enemies to get points. If the player get 10,000 points or more within the 2-minute time limit, The Chimp gives Mario another Power Star.

He makes his final appearance in the Slimy Spring Galaxy where he challenges Mario to another point challenge. This challenge is unique, however, in that it is done mostly underwater, where Mario must shine a shell's light on Snoodles and Boos. If the player can defeat this challenge and score 10,000 points or more in 180 seconds (three minutes), he gives them a star, after requesting that Mario teaches him some of his moves.
