[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] encounter Chuckoroks during their return to [[Chucklehuck Woods]] in search of the [[Beanstar|Beanstar Pieces]]. 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.

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 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. They are also rendered as 3D models rather than a 2D sprite.

*Chuckoroks seem to take inspiration from [[Octorok]]s from ''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 ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'': by reflecting the enemy's projectile back at it.
