Elite Chuck Guy: Difference between revisions

'''Elite Chuck Guys''' are a stronger version of the regular [[Chuck Guy]]s, appearing in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They can be found in [[Guffawha Ruins]], where only [[Luigi]] can battle them. In the original game, they were simply called '''Chuck Guys''' just like their weaker counterparts. It wasn't until the remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', that they were given their own name to distinguish the two separate species.

On the map, Elite Chuck Guys can attack Luigi from a distance by throwing spears at him. However, they do not use this ability during battle. Instead, they attack by either charging at Luigi (they will perform a small jump before attacking), which has a chance of [[trip]]ping him, or by stabbing him with their spear, which has a chance of inflicting the [[Poison (status effect)|poison]] status on him. Both attacks can be avoided by jumping (in the remake, the latter attack is countered with the hammer). Elite Chuck Guys also tend to call in more of their kind when they feel threatened. Usually, one will arrive, but occasionally, no other Elite Chuck Guys will arrive, leaving the Elite Chuck Guy shocked and losing his turn.  

In the international version of ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', the Elite Chuck Guys are healed by [[Thunderhand|thunder]], but in the Japanese version as well as ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', they take damage from it instead. In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', Elite Chuck Guys also appear as enemies in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'', alongside regular Chuck Guys, although they only appear in the level [[Spear Party on Ice]] for two rounds. They are melee troopers, and attack by charging into enemies with their spears. Their special attack is Spin Cycle, allowing them to damage enemies by charging at them and swinging their spear. Elite Chuck Guys are weak against red [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s.
