Whackas are a race of blue mole-like creatures that inhabit Mt. Rugged in Paper Mario, the shore of Keelhaul Key in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and near Downtown of Crag in Super Paper Mario. Whacking a Whacka on the head results in a Whacka's Bump which is a very valuable, edible item. The rarity and valueability of the item has caused the Whacka species to become endangered.

Hitting a Whacka about eight times will cause it to disappear for the rest of the game.

Appearances[]

Paper Mario[]

A Whacka can be encountered in Paper Mario at Mt. Rugged. At some point in the game, the Whacka will send Parakarry a letter stating that he dreams of flying one day.

Paper Mario: The Thousand -Year Door[]

Another Whacka appears at the shore of Keelhaul Key in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door near the exit of Pirate's Grotto.

According to Wonky, there is currently one surviving member of the Whacka species. However this may be false.

Super Paper Mario[]

Near Downtown of Crag, a Whacka can be encountered in Super Paper Mario. If the player makes the Whacka disappear, a Cragnon named Norite will appear where the Whacka would originally pop up. She claims that she was friends with it.

Paper Mario (Nintendo 3DS)[]

It is unknown whether that a Whacka will appear or not in the upcoming Paper Mario for the Nintendo 3DS but it is very likely that one will considering the appearance of the species in every Paper Mario game so far.

Tattle Information[]

Paper Mario[]

He's a Whacka. When you hit Whackas, they get Bumps that fall off. I heard that they're yummy. You know, I'm not normally into hitting Whackas, but once I heard of their tasty Bumps... I got the urge to whack' em.

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door[]

That's a rare Whacka. I don't think you see many of his kind anymore, nope. If you whack a Whacka, they drop a Whacka Bump. Those are supposed to be delicious. They fetch a high price in gourmet auctions, too. Yup, super-precious delicacies. Still, whacking a defenseless creature to get one... You'd never do that, right, Mario?

Catch Card Information[]
