From the Super Mario Wiki, the Mario encyclopedia
- “What is the secret you're seeking? I know it, I know it, ha HA! I can't tell you, but I'll give you a clue: (name of the Power Moon) ♪ It's hiding somewhere and no peeking! ♪ Go find it, go find it, scra-CAW!”
- —Talkatoo, Super Mario Odyssey
Talkatoo is a parrot from the game Super Mario Odyssey. He appears across multiple kingdoms and likes to gives names of Power Moons to Mario when consulted. Talkatoo's message consists of this recurring sentence: "I can't tell you, but I'll give you a clue: (name of the Power Moon) ♪ It's hiding somewhere and no peeking! ♪ Go find it, go find it, scra-CAW!". During the fight against Mollusque-Lanceur, however, he merely squawks in fear. He is mostly yellow in color, has a black beak and has a brown explorer's hat with a white feather in it. The feather is yellow at the top.
His name is a portmanteau of "talk" and "cockatoo."
