Chuckyas are purple enemies. They try to pick up Mario, and after doing so, spin around and then throw him. They do not directly damage Mario, but can cause fall damage if they throw him off a ledge.
Escaping Chuckya
There is a counter that the game keeps track of that lets you escape from Chuckya if it reaches 11. The counter starts at zero, and increases by one every time the player presses the A button or moves the joystick from the inside to the outside of its radius.[1] This is possible to do 1.5 times per frame with pause buffering.
Behavior
Moving
Chuckya's movement is composed of three different steps, which loop over and over again :
- Chuckya will turn to roughly face Mario
- If Chuckya is already facing Mario and the angle to Mario is greater than 1024 units, it will rotate in by an increment of 1024 units towards him.
- If the angle to Mario is less than or equal to 1024 units, it will turn until it faces Mario directly
- Chuckya will chase towards Mario until the latter is behind a line perpendicular to Chuckya's forward direction, the chase will only happen if Mario is close enough to Chuckya
- Chuckya will stop for a moment
This behavior is exploited in the A Button Challenge to have Chuckya drop at the start of the stage in Bowser in the Sky[2]
Throwing
When Chuckya grabs Mario, a random number between 10 and 40 is generated to serve as a timer. Every frames, Chuckya will rotate by 2048 horizontal angular units counterclockwise and remove one from this number. Mario will be thrown when one of these conditions is met :
- Mario escapes by doing an escape action 11 times
- The timer is negative and there is a floor up to 50 unit below a point 150 units in front of Chuckya
- The timer reaches -17
Once one of those conditions is met, Chuckya will throw Mario at its anchor point (Similar to Mario's HOLP). This anchor point is only updated when Chuckya is rendered, which open itself to Chuckya Wrong Throw.
