Cataquacks are duck-like creatures that live on Gelato Beach and are easily angered. When they get angry they hurl Mario into the air. They can be both useful and dangerous.
In Super Mario Sunshine, Cataquacks come in two colors, red and blue. The blue Cataquacks cannot damage Mario, but the red ones can. Both varieties are rather lazy and will fall asleep if left undisturbed. The red version is reportedly new to the area. However, as the game continues, more and more red Cataquacks are seen, as well as the number of the Cataquacks in general increases. In the end, only one blue Cataquack is remaining. In the first episodes, Mario can get a Blue Coin by overturning the single red Cataquack and jumping on it, and in the last episodes, he can get a Blue Coin by doing so on the remaining blue Cataquack. Cataquacks may also randomly appear in the fight against King Boo in Hotel Delfino.
In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Cataquacks are revealed to come in purple and green varieties, in addition to the other red and blue colors. The game also reveals that they are also known as Pihanas (which is actually a Japanese name for them; one should note its use of "hana", the Japanese word for "flower"). They can be found on Peach Beach.
In Super Mario Galaxy, Cataquacks made a reappearance, but as helpers rather than enemies. Mario had to lead them out of fences and use them to fling him to high places. Only the blue variety was present in this game.
There is also a similar enemy called a Plungelo that looks like giant, red Cataquack with plunger-like feet, a smaller beak, and flowers on their heads. Frackles and Wrackles from Super Paper Mario bear a resemblance to them as well.
