“Those large-billed Cataquacks tend to be very territorial. So, when they spot an outsider such as yourself, they go wild! They'll run up and hurl you into the air, but they mean no harm.”
Noki , Super Mario Sunshine

Cataquacks, also called Paihanas,[1] :6 Piahanas,[1] :103 or Pihanas,[2] are duck-like enemies that first appear in Super Mario Sunshine . They catapault Mario or other characters into the air. Cataquacks are territorial and will chase down strangers;[3] while the blue variant will not harm them, a red variant called Red Cataquacks[4] or Chuhanas[1] :6 will. Cataquacks resemble Wiggler segments, like Plungelos, and they are further connected by their similar location and Japanese names. They serve a similar function to Heave-Hos from Super Mario 64 .

Super Mario Sunshine[edit ]

Cataquack
A Red Cataquack in Super Mario Sunshine

In Super Mario Sunshine, Cataquacks come in blue and red varieties. They walk aimlessly on Gelato 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 Cataquacks make contact, they 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 platforms and coins he otherwise could not with normal jumps. Whenever Mario gets launched in the air by a Cataquack, he screams the same way he does when falling a great distance instead of when getting tossed in other ways, such as getting launched by chucksters. Cataquacks are usually not affected by Mario's direct attacks, but when sprayed with FLUDD, they flip over and become stunned. During this time, Mario can get a coin from a Cataquack by jumping onto it, causing it to sink into the ground. If he sprays a stunned Cataquack, it remains stunned for a longer time. When sprayed over sand, Cataquacks sink into it without having to jump on them, but they do not give a coin. Cataquacks can be defeated only by eating them with a Yoshi, catapulting them into the air with the outburst of a nearby Dune Bud, or luring them towards water while using the Hover Nozzle.[5] A subspecies of Cataquacks called Plungelos appears as mini-bosses in Episode 2 of Gelato Beach. Cataquacks can also appear in Sirena Beach's fifth episode, "King Boo Down Below," where if King Boo spins three question marks on the slot machines, he may spit out two Blue Cataquacks that disappear after a short time.

The differently colored Cataquacks act differently from one another, similarly to most other species. Blue Cataquacks cannot damage Mario unless he touches them directly, but red ones can damage Mario by catapulting him. If swarmed by Red Cataquacks, Mario may become trapped in a loop of catapulting and suffer a large amount of damage, possibly up to the point that he loses a life. Blue Cataquacks tend to be calmer, and they fall asleep if left undisturbed. According to a Noki on Gelato Beach, Red Cataquacks are new to the area.[6] 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 eighth episode, "The Watermelon Festival," only one Blue Cataquack remains, sleeping atop a palm tree away from the beach, and Mario can obtain a Blue Coin from the Cataquack while it is overturned; conversely, in the first episode, "Dune Bud Sand Castle Secret," Mario can get a Blue Coin by overturning the single Red Cataquack and jumping on it. In "The Watermelon Festival," 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 are one of the few enemies in the game confirmed to be native to Isle Delfino, as most of the others (presumably including Red Cataquacks) were created from Shadow Mario's graffiti.[7] Despite this, both colors of Cataquacks splatter when defeated from a Dune Bud.

Super Mario Galaxy[edit ]

Blue Cataquacks reappear in Super Mario Galaxy and its Nintendo Switch port. They have a very slight redesign in that the yellow circles on their sides are now a defined ridge rather than simply a pattern, lessening the resemblance to Wiggler segments. Their boots have also been given raised lips.

Mario can use them to fling himself to high or out-of-reach places. In this game, they can be defeated only by luring them into the water, where they vanish, but they reappear shortly after (along with Koopa Troopas and Spring Topmen, they are the only non-ammunition enemies that respawn). If Mario spins next to them, ground-pounds near them, or touches them while in his Rainbow form, they will flip over and be stunned for a few seconds. Unlike in Super Mario Sunshine, Cataquacks are completely harmless due to the game's lack of falling damage. Additionally, these Cataquacks jump and give out an excited squeak before chasing, rather than immediately pursuing Mario.

Cataquacks first appear in Beach Bowl Galaxy's secret mission, "Wall Jumping up Waterfalls". They later return in Gold Leaf Galaxy, in the mission "Cataquack to the Skies" and its secret mission "The Bell on the Big Tree". Cataquacks in Gold Leaf Galaxy appear to be kept as pets by honeybees, who fence them in. One honeybee claims Cataquacks (or at least one specimen found nearby) are native to the final planet of "Cataquack to the Skies".[8] Additionally, the flag on the Sea Slide Galaxy tower depicts a seagull with a stylized head that resembles a Cataquack's, despite Cataquacks themselves not appearing in said galaxy.[9]

Mario Kart series[edit ]

Mario Kart: Double Dash!![edit ]

Cataquacks first appear in the Mario Kart series in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! as primary obstacles on Peach Beach. This game introduces purple and green colors in addition to the original red and blue. They walk around the beach area and target nearby racers. If Cataquacks make contact with a kart, they will flip its racers up into the air, making the kart lose all speed and causing the characters to drop their items. The rear character will also become helpless, holding on to the back of the kart for a short time. Cataquacks can be temporarily knocked out by Green Shells and Red Shells, as well as Lightning, causing them to fall upside-down into the sand.

Mario Kart Arcade GP subseries[edit ]

In Mario Kart Arcade GP and Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 , Red and Blue Cataquacks appear in the backgrounds of certain courses in the Mario Cup.[10]

Mario Kart Wii[edit ]

Cataquacks return in Mario Kart Wii , once again appearing on GCN Peach Beach. Now, an exclamation point appears above their head when being alerted to passing karts, and they are able to trespass the stone path between grass and sand. They can also be stunned by a POW Block, a Mega Mushroom, or a Bullet Bill, none of which are in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Additionally, Cataquacks do not give chase in Time Trial (or Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection before the service had been discontinued).

Mario Kart World[edit ]

Cataquack makes its overall playable debut in the Super Mario franchise as an unlockable character in Mario Kart World , marking their first completely original appearance in 17 years. It is unlocked for permanent use when the Kamek item transforms the player into one for the first time or, from version 1.3.0 onwards, the player uses a UFO. Kamek can transform players into Cataquack on Peach Beach, Salty Salty Speedway, and Wario Shipyard. It is a heavyweight racer, sharing statistics with Rosalina, Pauline, King Boo, Piranha Plant, Snowman, and Conkdor. Cataquack's emblem consists of a green and yellow spot on a blue background, referencing a Cataquack's own eyespots.

Cataquacks return as obstacles on Peach Beach, though unlike in prior Mario Kart games, only blue Cataquacks are present, and they appear to be larger than their previous depictions. Like in Mario Kart Wii, an exclamation point appears above their heads when they spot a racer, a trait they share with Goombas, Bullies, and Stingbies. In Free Roam, Cataquacks are found in the stretch of beach that leads to Peach Beach, and on the beach of the course itself. They also appear in the following routes:

Naming[edit ]

Etymology[edit ]

"Cataquack" is likely a portmanteau of "catapult" and "quack," referring to Cataquacks' behavior of launching characters into the air and their duck-like appearance.
