The Chimp: Difference between revisions

'''The Chimp''' is a non-playable character appearing only in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. He is a blue monkey that wears sunglasses and somewhat resembles a [[Ukiki]], with yellow hair on his head in a style similar to [[Iggy Koopa|Iggy]]'s. The Chimp is competitive by nature and challenges [[Mario]] to beat his records in various games across different [[galaxy|galaxies]].

Mario first meets The Chimp in the [[Fluffy Bluff Galaxy]], just after finding the [[Captain Toad|Toad Brigade Captain]], when he shows interest in a climbing race against Mario after watching him use the [[Cloud Flower]]. The Chimp later challenges Mario to [[The Chimp's Stomp Challenge|a contest]] where he has to [[stomp]] on enemies and collect the [[coin]]s to get 10,000 [[point]]s or more with a time limit of two minutes (120 seconds).  

Later, The Chimp appears in the [[Freezy Flake Galaxy]], where [[The Chimp's Skating Challenge|he challenges Mario]] to a {{wp|Whac-A-Mole|Whack-a-Mole}} style of game, where Mario has to get 500 points or more by hitting green [[Gummit]]s and [[Golden Gummit]]s while avoiding [[Spiky Gummit]]s.

In [[Melty Monster Galaxy]]'s [[The Chimp's Bowling Challenge|secret mission]], Mario needs to knock down [[Pinhead]]s with the [[Rock Mushroom]]. After Mario gets 5,000 points or more, The Chimp gives him a [[Power Star]]. He next shows up in [[Shiverburn Galaxy]] and challenges Mario to another [[The Chimp's Ultimate Skating Challenge|skating challenge]] but with 600 points as the target score. Even after, he appears in [[Honeyhop Galaxy]], where he [[The Chimp's Score Challenge|challenges Mario again]] to defeat enemies to get points. If the player gets 10,000 points or more within the two-minute time limit, The Chimp gives Mario another Power Star.  

The Chimp makes his final appearance in the [[Slimy Spring Galaxy]], where he challenges Mario to [[The Chimp's Coin Challenge|another point challenge]]. This challenge is unique, however, in that it takes place mostly underwater, where Mario must shine a [[Green Shell]]'s light on [[Snoodle]]s and [[Boo]]s. If the player can win this challenge by scoring 10,000 points or more in 180 seconds (three minutes), The Chimp gives the player a Star after requesting that Mario teach him some of his moves.

*If the player fails a mission that The Chimp delivered to them via [[letter|mail]], the player will lose a life. However, if they fail a secret mission such as the ice skating challenge, they will start over without losing a life.
