Chikuchiku are hedgehog enemies in the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong (Game Boy)[edit]

They are first encountered in Stage 8-2. Just like Sniper and Sukōpī enemies, Chikuchiku stick to and go around the environment, walking up walls and ceilings in the process; they are also dangerous to touch from any side. While most Chikuchiku walk at an intermediate speed, there is one that walks slowly and one that walks fast in Stage 8-2. Chikuchiku can be defeated with a hammer, unlike Snipers, Sukōpīs and Gyātorus.

Super Mario Kodansha manga[edit]

In the Super Mario Kodansha manga, a Chikuchiku appears in chapter 2 of Super Mario: Donkey Kong 2. It is seen with the other enemies building the Tower and attacking Mario and friends until Monchee interveens.

トゲを持った危険なヤツ

背中にトゲを持っているので、触れると一発でアウトとなる。動きも素早いのでけっこうやっかいだ。タイミングをうまくとるか、ハンマーで倒すかして先に進もう。[1]

A dangerous spiked one.

It has spikes on its back, so touching it is a one-shot knockout. It moves quickly, making it quite a nuisance. You need to get the timing right or use a hammer to knock it down before moving on.
