History[edit]
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3[edit]
Chicken Ducks are often found sleeping. If Wario happens to wake one up, it does not attack; it instead flies straight upwards, running away from him. Chicken Ducks cannot harm Wario at all. When an enemy is thrown into the bird, the enemy is eaten and it flies upwards in a panic, giving Wario three 10 Gold Coins until it flies off the screen.
Super Mario Kodansha manga[edit]
In the Super Mario Kodansha manga, a Chicken Duck appears in chapter 3 of Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land 1. Wario rides it to beat Mario to the top of Mt. Teapot, only to be surprised by Minotaur's saucer.
In Daimaru Roketto's chapter in Super Mario 4-koma Daikōshin, Wario dunks a Wanderin' Goom in a Chicken Duck basket. After that, he calls Mario to challenge him to a basketball match, sure he will win after that.
