Chuckola Cola (Mario & Luigi series)



Chuckola Cola is a popular drink found in Chucklehuck Woods from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. There is another rare variety called Chuckola Reserve, which is needed to cure Queen Bean. It later appeared in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door as Admiral Bobbery's last request; to get the Chuckola Cola Mario must give Flavio, the picky editor of Foppish Gourmet Weekly, a Coconut. After drinking it, Bobbery will join Mario's party. Also, Podley sells Chuckola Cola in Podley's Place.

There are some appearance inconsistencies with Chuckola Cola between Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Although actual bottles of Chuckola Cola were seen very rarely in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, several were seen in the S.S. Chuckola, an ancient boat bound to ship Chuckola Cola across Mushroom World. Perhaps coincidentally, the Chuckola Cola was bottled similarly in both games, but it was colored differently: the Mario & Luigi variant was blue (but known to be red when seen en masse) and had a pink label while the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door cola was purple with a yellow label. This may have been due to differently colored Chuckola Beans, but this is unknown.

Brewing Chuckola Cola
The entrance of Chateau de Chucklehuck has four statues, each giving four different steps to brewing Chuckola Cola. These are the four different steps:


 * Step 1 – The main ingredient of Chuckola Cola is Chuckola Fruit, which grows only in Chucklehuck Woods.
 * Step 2 – Place one Chuckola Fruit in a barrel that's been filled to the brim with savory syrup.
 * Step 3 – Tell funny jokes to the fruit until it laughs, releasing soda bubbles deep whitin the brew.
 * Step 4 – Bear in mind that the quality of both the fruit and the jokes will affect the brewing process.

Trivia

 * Chuckola Cola (as well as Chuckola Fruit) was given a cameo appearance in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, where it appeared alongside Prince Peasley on a poster in Princess Peach's Castle's Shroom Shop.
 * The beverage's name is likely a play on the popular soft drink Coca-Cola.
 * In Japanese versions, the beverage is red and is known as Vintage Red. It was likely changed so it would look and sound a lot less like wine.
