From Kirby Wiki

Chuchu

Chuchu is one of Kirby's friends who appears in Kirby's Dream Land 3. Chuchu is an octopus with a large bow on the back of her head. Presumed by some to be Kirby's mutual love interest, evidence given by the blissful expressions on each other's face when they're together. She has also appeared in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards as a cameo whenever Kirby obtains the Stone Friends ability along with Rick, Coo, Kine, Nago and Pitch. She also appears as a painting in Paint Panic in Kirby Canvas Curse. She appears in Kirby Super Star Ultra in the sub-game "Kirby Card Swipe".

[edit] Abilities

Chuchu, as well as all the other animal friends, have the ability to share and enhance whatever ability Kirby currently has.

Dream Land 3 Artwork
  • Fire: 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.
  • Ice: Chuchu uses Kirby's ice breath to make snowballs, these are then thrown at enemies.
  • Spark: Similar to Kirby's Adventure's Laser. Chuchu charges up electricity in one psuedopod, eventually releasing it. This beam, if charged fully, will bounce off hills.
  • 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.
  • Needle: Chuchu develops and fires off needles in five directions. These needles are weak and have a very small range.
  • Parasol: Kirby and Chuchu to ride atop a spinning parasol. Both seem to be laughing while this ability is being used.
  • Cutter: Chuchu becomes the cutter and Kirby then swings her around.
  • Clean: Chuchu and Kirby fly on a broom. This ability only damages enemies who come into contact with the rear end of the broom.

[edit] Trivia

  • Chuchu shares a name with a similar slime creature from the Legend of Zelda series.
  • Many of Chuchu's abilities revolve around either Kirby and her holding hands, or spinning while looking in each other's eyes. This is used to guess at a romantic relationship.
