'''The Chimp''' is a blue [[monkey]] NPC 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 similar to [[Iggy]]'s, 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 two minutes (120 seconds).  

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

In [[Melty Monster Galaxy]]'s [[Secret Star]], Mario needs to knockdown [[Pinhead]]s 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, but with 600 points as the target score. 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 two minute time limit, The Chimp will give 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 [[Snoodle]]s and [[Boos]]. If the player can defeat this challenge and score 10,000 points or more in 180 seconds (three minutes), he gives the player a star, after requesting that Mario teaches him some of his moves.
