-'''Chuckoroks''' are a species of round, rock-like monsters seen only in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. Chuckoroks have very minor roles in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', and are perhaps most notable for simply being a reference to another game series.
-[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] encounter Chuckoroks on their search for the [[Beanstar|Beanstar Pieces]], more specifically on their return to [[Chucklehuck Woods]]. Here, the Mario Bros. came to a small area inhabited solely by the [[Winkle]]s, and were eventually forced to enter [[Winkle Colosseum]]. Inside the Colosseum, the brothers played a [[Chuckola Bounce]] [[mini-game]] which finally pitted them against the Chuckoroks, who would move around in a circular motion and spit [[Chuckola Rock]]s at Mario and Luigi. Although these rocks would hurt the Mario Bros. on contact, if the pair managed to make the Chuckola Rocks hit their [[Chuckola Board]], they would turn blue and go against their firers. As such, if the rocks now hit a Chuckorok, they would knock the beast away and reward Mario and Luigi with a point. If the brothers caught a [[Barrier Mushroom]], getting hit or manually firing their more-direct barrier at a Chuckorok would also make the creature explode. Although destroying Chuckoroks was a fairly simple feat to pull off, as the Mario Bros. progressed in Chuckola Bounce, Chuckoroks would begin to vary in size; smaller (and therefore harder-to-hit) Chuckoroks would begin to appear.
+[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] encounter Chuckoroks during their return to [[Chucklehuck Woods]] in search of the [[Beanstar|Beanstar piece]]s. Entering a small area inhabited solely by the [[Winkle]]s, they are eventually forced to enter [[Winkle Colosseum]] to receive the Beanstar piece. They play the [[Chuckola Bounce]] [[minigame]] in the Colosseum, which pits them against the Chuckoroks.
-It is very interesting to note that the Chuckoroks are actually a clever reference to the ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' video game series. Specifically, Chuckoroks mirror ''The Legend of Zelda''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Octorok]] enemies, who, on an unrelated note, actually managed to appear in the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]''-related game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Chuckoroks are clear parodies of the Octoroks in that both enemies are circular, angry-eyed enemies who spit rocks out of tubular, [[Snifit]]-reminiscent mouths, not to mention that the name "Chuckorok" is even a portmanteau of "Chuckola" and "Octorok".
+Chuckoroks move in tandem around the arena in a circular motion, and spit Chuckola Rocks at Mario and Luigi; these rocks stun the brothers on contact. Hitting the Chuckola Rocks with the Chuckola Board turns them blue and sends them back towards the Chuckoroks. If a Chuckola Rock hits a Chuckorok, it is defeated, and one point is added to the brothers' score. If a brother touches a Barrier Mushroom, a Chuckola Rock that hits him will automatically defeat the Chuckorok that sent it.

+Chuckoroks that are defeated will be replaced after a while. After defeating a certain number of Chuckoroks, they will begin to be replaced by smaller ones that are harder to hit.

+Chuckoroks reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' with an identical purpose. However, the 'X's on top of their heads are replaced by a giant swirl. Their eyes are completely black, but turn red when they spit Chuckola Rocks or Barrier Mushrooms.

+==Trivia==
+*Chuckoroks take inspiration from [[zeldawiki:Octorok|Octorok]]s from [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]], as both shoot rocks and have similar names. The method used to damage Chuckoroks is also similar to the way [[Link]] defeats Octoroks in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'': by reflecting the enemy's projectile back at it.
