The Chill Bully,[1] also known generically as the Bully[2][3][4] or Big Bully,[5] is a type of Big Bully found in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. It has a light-blue body with a yellow spike on the top of its head, and it wears light-green shoes. There is only one Chill Bully, and it appears in Snowman's Land, on top of an ice platform. Surrounding the platform is a pool of frigid water, and touching it has similar effects to touching lava.
In Chill with the Bully, the second mission of Snowman's Land, the objective is for Mario to defeat the Chill Bully. To do this, Mario must hit the Chill Bully backward until it falls off into the cold water. Like regular Bullies, the Chill Bully also tries to ram Mario off the platform. When the Chill Bully has been defeated, a Power Star is released above the icy platform for Mario to collect.
In Super Mario 64 DS, unlike other Bullies, the Chill Bully can be defeated by having Yoshi obtain a Power Flower and use his fire breath to push it off the platform. In this version, the Chill Bully's design was updated to resemble Chief Chilly, but it most notably lacks a mustache.
