'''Chucksters''', also | '''Chucksters''', also known as '''Pianta Throwers''',<ref>Black, Fletcher. ''Mario Party 8'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 26.</ref> are a variant of [[Pianta]]s in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They are capable of throwing [[Mario]] a good distance behind them or above them. Chucksters will usually toss Mario after he speaks to them. | ||
==History== | |||
===''Super Mario'' series=== | |||
====''Super Mario Sunshine''==== | |||
[[File:Secret of the Village Underside.png|thumb|left|The Pianta Village episode Secret of the Village Underside is centered around chucksters.]] | |||
In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', a chuckster can be first found on the roof of a building in [[Delfino Plaza]]. Mario has to have at least one [[coin]] to pay the chuckster to throw Mario behind him, into an isolated room of a building that has the [[Shine Sprite]] of [[Mario Toss]]. In [[Ricco Harbor]], there are two Piantas who become increasingly skilled at throwing Mario in later [[mission|episodes]]. Lastly Chucksters are the main focus of the [[Pianta Village]] episode [[Secret of the Village Underside]], where Mario needs the assistance of several chucksters to move between areas and obtain the Shine Sprite at the end. The angle at which Mario speaks to a chucksters determines where he will be thrown, which is exceptionally noticeable in the episode Secret of the Village Underside, as talking to a chuckster at a bad angle here can result in Mario being thrown into the surrounding [[pit]], costing him a life. | |||
====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''==== | |||
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', chucksters are found exclusively throughout [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]] during the level [[Climbing the Cloudy Tower]]. Mario does not need to initiate dialogue with them to be thrown, as simply coming into contact with them from the front will have them throw Mario into the air. | |||
===''Mario Party 8''=== | |||
In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', if the player lands on an [[Event Space]] in [[Goomba's Booty Boardwalk]] in front of a yellow Pianta, the Pianta tosses them a short distance. | |||
