In '' | In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', Cataquacks come in red or blue varieties. They walk aimlessly on the beach, but when they sense Mario nearby, they charge at him until he gets far enough away from them or they reach a ledge or water. If they make contact, they will use their beaks to throw Mario into the air. This can be both helpful and harmful; Mario can sustain damage if he lands on the same ground from which he was launched, but he can also reach [[platform]]s and [[coin]]s he otherwise could not with normal [[jump]]s. Blue Cataquacks cannot damage Mario unless he touches them directly, but red ones can damage him through their catapult. If swarmed by Red Cataquacks, Mario may become trapped in a loop of catapulting and suffer a large amount of damage. | ||
Normally, Cataquacks are immune to all of Mario's direct attacks, but when sprayed with [[F.L.U.D.D.]], they will flip over and become stunned. During this time, Mario can get a coin by jumping on them, which will cause them to sink into the ground. If he sprays a stunned Cataquack, it will remain stunned for a longer time. When sprayed over sand, Cataquacks will sink into it without having to jump on them, but they will not give a coin. Cataquacks can be defeated only by eating them with a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], catapulting them into the air with the outburst of a nearby [[Dune Bud]], or luring them towards water while using the [[F.L.U.D.D.#Hover Nozzle|Hover Nozzle]].<ref>BeaverThingify (September 15, 2020).

Blue Cataquacks tend to be calmer, and they will fall asleep if left undisturbed. According to a [[Noki]] on [[Gelato Beach]], Red Cataquacks are new to the area.<ref>"''Watch out for the red Cataquacks! Seriously! They can hurt you. They only appeared on this beach recently.''" — '''[[Noki]]''', ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''</ref> As the player progresses through Gelato Beach's episodes, the number of Red Cataquacks and Cataquacks in general increases, while the number of Blue Cataquacks decreases. By [[The Watermelon Festival|Episode 8]], only one Blue Cataquack remains, sleeping atop a palm tree away from the beach. In this episode, Red Cataquacks swarm most of Gelato Beach, increasing the difficulty of bringing the [[watermelon]] to the [[Surf Cabana]]. If the watermelon hits a Cataquack, it is thrown upwards and destroyed when it hits the ground, leaving a coin behind. | Blue Cataquacks tend to be calmer, and they will fall asleep if left undisturbed.
