Revision as of 00:11, March 19, 2021 by Nintendo101 (talk | contribs) (Incorperated gallery with Sunshine model and Cluckboom's model. The latter is a variety of the former and it is interesting to directly compare the two side-by-side. Revised "meaning" of Japanese name, which likely derives from kokko, not "cuckoo".)

This article is about the enemy from Super Mario Sunshine. For the chicken enemy from Virtual Boy Wario Land, see Coo-Coo.

Template:Species-infobox Coo Coos[1][2] are hen-like creatures that only appear in Super Mario Sunshine. They resemble large chickens with two beady, green eyes, and a star on their belly. They first make an appearance in Bianco Hills, where they fly around randomly and drop splotches of goop whenever they get near Mario. They later appear in Episode 3 of Pianta Village, where they drop burning goop. Coo Coos can be defeated by jumping on them or spraying them to the ground with F.L.U.D.D. Coos Coos release several coins with each spray, up to a 1-Up Mushroom.

A variety of this enemy called Cluckboom appears in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. It behaves similarly but drops explosive bombs.
