'''Chuckola Cola''' is a beverage owned by [[Admiral Bobbery]] he asks to drink as last request in Chapter 5 of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Being similar to a red wine and being named '''Vintage Red''' in the Japanese version, in the Western localizations of the game its color was changed to purple and in some cases the hints to it possibly being an alcoholic drink were removed, an example being that of the English localizations were it was given the name of a [[Chuckola Cola (Mario & Luigi series)|soft drink]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', [[Admiral Bobbery]] wants a drink as his last request. When [[Mario]] asks [[Flavio]] about it, Flavio agrees to give it to Mario, but only if he could give him something in return. Mario gives Flavio a coconut and then gives the drink to Bobbery. Bobbery then joins Mario in his quest.

Said drink, a red wine named ''Vintage Red'' in the Japanese version, was changed to a purple drink that was named differently in the various Western localizations, being given the name ''Chuckola Cola'' in the English one. As a result of them not being related except in the English localization, there are some appearance inconsistencies with Chuckola Cola between ''Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga'' and ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. 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. Furthermore, as a result of the changes during localization, Bobbery's last wish is much more poignant in the Japanese version: scarlet wine in memory of [[List of implied characters#Scarlette|Scarlette]]. This is retained in the Spanish version, where Bobbery asks for "bombioja" in honor of "Bombaret,"<ref>FatalRagnarok (July 20, 2015).
