Chuckola Cola is a soft drink made from Chuckola Fruit that is popular throughout both the Mushroom Kingdom and Beanbean Kingdom. Since in the Japanese version of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga the beverage was an alcoholic cocktail, during the English localization it was changed so it was rather a cola.[1]

History

Mario & Luigi series

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

Chuckola Cola is found in Chucklehuck Woods in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake. There is another rare variety called Chuckola Reserve, which is needed to cure Queen Bean after she is infected by a Belly Blech Worm. Although actual bottles of Chuckola Cola are seen very rarely in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, several were seen in the S.S. Chuckola, an ancient boat bound to ship Chuckola Cola across the world.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

Chuckola Cola (as well as Chuckola Fruit) is given a cameo appearance in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, where it appeared alongside Prince Peasley on a poster in Princess Peach's Castle's Shroom Shop.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Admiral Bobbery wants a drink as his last request. When Mario asks Flavio about it, Flavio agrees to give it to Mario, but only if he could give him something in return. Mario gives Flavio a coconut and then gives the drink to Bobbery. Bobbery then joins Mario in his quest.

Said drink, a red wine named "Vintage Red" in the Japanese version, was changed to a purple drink that was named differently in the various Western localizations, being given the name "Chuckola Cola" in the English one. As a result of them not being related except in the English localization, there are some appearance inconsistencies with Chuckola Cola between Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The Chuckola Cola was bottled similarly in both games, but it was colored differently: the Mario & Luigi variant was blue (but known to be red when seen en masse) and had a pink label while the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door cola was purple with a yellow label. Furthermore, as a result of the changes during localization, Bobbery's last wish is much more poignant in the Japanese version: scarlet wine in memory of Scarlette. This is retained in the Spanish version, where Bobbery asks for "bombioja" in honor of "Bombaret,"[2] while the changes in the nature of the drink partially affected the Italian version, where Bobbery asks for "Vintage viola" (violet Vintage), a fine berry juice, in memory of "Scarlet."[3]

Brewing Chuckola Cola (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)

The entrance of Chateau de Chucklehuck has four statues, each giving four different steps to brewing Chuckola Cola. These are the four different steps:
