Chill Bullies,[1][2] also known generically as Bullies[3][4][5] or Big Bullies,[6] are a type of Bully that first appears in Super Mario 64. They have icy, light-blue bodies with yellow spikes on the tops of their heads, and they wear green shoes.
History[edit]
Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]
In Super Mario 64, one Chill Bully appears in Snowman's Land, on top of an icy floor. Surrounding the floor is a freezing pond, 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 him backward until he 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 him off the platform. In this version, the Chill Bully's design was updated to have a fully 3D body with a chipped appearance, rather than the smooth, marble-like flat texture it had before. An even bigger, mustachioed Chill Bully, named Chief Chilly, is introduced as the boss guarding Wario.
Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)[edit]
In Mario Golf for the Nintendo 64, "Chill Bully" sometimes appears on the scorecard.
Mario Kart World[edit]
In Mario Kart World, Chill Bullies return after a 21-year absence, with another redesign more closely resembling the Super Mario 3D World depictions of regular Bullies while still retaining the singular horn atop their heads. They appear near Starview Peak's checkpoint in the Spiny Rally, as well as in Free Roam outside the course.
