Ukiki

Template:Enemy

Ukiki is a character that appears in the Mario series. Ukiki is a tiny brown monkey that likes to cause havoc and mischief, although most of the time they are harmless. Ukiki first debuts in Super Mario 64, where two of them appear on the course Tall, Tall Mountain. Mario is able to pick up the Ukikis in this game, which results in them stealing his hat. Mario had to chase Ukiki to get his hat back, which was a trickier task.

Mario Party series

Ukiki did not appear in the Mario Party series until Mario Party 4. Throughout the series, they mostly appear in mini-games and on the board maps. Ukiki also got its own capsule in Mario Party 5.

Item appearances

Ukiki Capsule

• Ukiki Capsule - Ukiki will appear down a vine, and ask the characters to choose another character for him to attack. Ukiki will then start to wrestle with the opposing character, causing them to lose their capsules, which are then thrown onto random spaces of the board.

Board appearances

• Koopa's Seaside Soiree - At two intersections of this board, there will be Ukiki hiding in a tree. He will then throw a banana peel on the path, in which it decides the path that the characters will take.
• Castaway Bay - If a character lands on the happening space that is located in front of the tree, Ukiki will play a coin-collecting mini-game with them, in which they must collect the coins that Ukiki tosses.
• DK's Treetop Temple - A pair of Ukikis can be seen rolling down a set of barrels, which will cause the characters to lose ten coins if the barrels hit them.

Mini-game appearances

• Tree Stomp - The Ukikis appear on the outside of this mini-game, and will throw banana peels into the center of the arena, causing the lone character or machines to slip.
• Chimp Chase - The objective of this mini-game was for the characters to collect all the small Ukikis and give them to their mother. There were four different colored Ukikis introduced in this mini-game: red, blue, gray, and brown. The characters must give the Ukikis to the correct colored mother. There was also a golden Ukiki who could be given to any mother.
• Strawberry Shortfuse - The Ukikis can be seen carrying the trays that the characters must choose from. They also refill the trays and are working in the background of the factory.
• Snow Brawl - During the daytime, the lone character teamed up with four Ukikis who helped them fight off the opposing characters. The opposing team can knock out the Ukikis in this mini-game.
• Apes of Wrath - Two characters are chased around by a set of Ukikis, who are angry at them for stealing their apples. If a character gets captured by a Ukiki, they will carry them off the screen, and the opposing character will win the mini-game.
• Camp Ukiki - Two characters must venture through this obstacle course that was created by the Ukikis.
• Flip the Chimp - The characters must get their mechanical Ukiki up the rope, while avoiding falling projectiles. The winner of the mini-game will be cheered by actual Ukikis.
• Snipe for the Picking - A set of Ukikis can be found turning the cranks that switch the apple targets. They also carry the loser of the mini-game off.
