Winkles are snail creatures that appear in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. They live in the Chucklehuck Woods and run the Winkle Colosseum, a stadium requiring 500 Beanbean coins to participate.

Inside, Mario and Luigi play the Chuckorock Bounce minigame, known as "Chuckola Bounce". After completing it, they are awarded the Winkle Card, which is used to get past the Winkle guard and access a piece of the fallen Beanstar. In deeper parts of the forest, there is even a Winkle statue.

The Winkles in the remake, notice the one from the minigame being absent.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, the Winkle that explains the minigame and acts as a timer is somewhat replaced by an orange Winkle.
