ChuChu (sometimes written as Chuchu) is one of Kirby's Animal Friends. She first appeared as a playable character in Kirby's Dream Land 3 and has made several cameo appearances throughout the Kirby series.
Appearance and personality
ChuChu is a pink octopus with a large red bow on the back of her head, has rosy cheeks, and has purple eyes (silver in the opening of Kirby's Dream Land 3 and blue in Kirby Star Allies). She is infatuated with Kirby and it is implied that she is a romantic interest. Although sweet to Kirby, she is shown to be very short tempered with the other animals.
Games
Kirby's Dream Land 3
ChuChu, as well as all the other animal friends, have the ability to share and enhance whatever ability Kirby currently has. When Kirby is paired with ChuChu, she can swallow enemies while underwater, and ChuChu has her unique ability to stick onto ceilings and "walk" on them, but she can't do the same with walls. Her best friend is Nyupun.
Copy Ability | Description | |
---|---|---|
Burning | Kirby will spray a highly focused jet of flame that barely extends in front of him. While breathing flame, pressing the jump button causes Kirby to use ChuChu as a hot air balloon. | |
Needle | ChuChu develops and fires off needles in five directions. These needles are weak and have a very small range. | |
Spark | Similar to the Laser ability from Kirby's Adventure, but continues after damaging an enemy or block. ChuChu charges up electricity in one arm, eventually releasing it. This beam will bounce off hills and walls if it is charged, with the number of bounces being determined from the charge time. | |
Cutter | ChuChu becomes the cutter and Kirby then swings her around. | |
Ice | ChuChu uses Kirby's ice breath to make snowballs and toss them at enemies. | |
Parasol | Kirby and ChuChu ride atop a spinning parasol. Both seem to be laughing while this ability is being used. | |
Stone | ChuChu grabs Stone Kirby and swings him around. Movement while performing this is possible. This is also one of the few variations of the stone ability that have no effect in the downward direction. | |
Clean | ChuChu and Kirby fly on a broom. This ability only damages enemies who come into contact with the rear end of the broom. ChuChu seems to be covering Kirby's face. |
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
Kirby's Stone Cutter Power Combo lets him turn into statues of any of his past animal friends, including ChuChu. Kirby can hop around when becoming this statue.
