Template:Character-infobox Cookatiel is the second boss of the Luncheon Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey. It is a gigantic pink bird with a chef hat and ruffled white wings. Its name is a pun on "cook" and "cockatiel".
It is first encountered when Mario tries to reach the stew pot at the top of Mount Volbono to collect a Multi Moon. Mario captures a giant steak at Meat Plateau and Cookatiel carries it up to the stew pot. After Mario collects the Multi Moon, a volcanic explosion blasts him off the mountain.[1] It is encountered again when Mario captures a Lava Bubble and re-enters the stew pot.[2]
In battle, Cookatiel spits various fruits into the stew pot. It eventually gushes out pink liquid that Mario can travel up while evading Spike Balls, and reaching Cookatiel will damage it. Cookatiel will then spit out more fruits in the second phase, and gush out the pink liquid in a zigzag fashion. In the third phase, Cookatiel will spit even more fruits, and gush out the pink liquid in small bursts. Once defeated, Cookatiel will fall into the stew and explode, revealing the Multi Moon.[3]
In the rematch in Peach's Castle, the fight is mostly the same, but there are now three Spike Bar-like obstacles in the stew, which Mario must avoid.[4]
