Chinchos[1] are undead enemies encountered in Super Mario Odyssey. They are short, mummy-type enemies, with a skull for a head and their eyes in the shape of stars; as such, they are undead dark purple Tostarenans, as proven by their Japanese name, despite Tostarenans already being skeletal.
History[edit]
Super Mario Odyssey[edit]
In Super Mario Odyssey, Chinchos can be found in the Sand Kingdom, Wooded Kingdom, Seaside Kingdom, Ruined Kingdom, and Mushroom Kingdom. They appear mainly in dark areas such as sub-areas, so they generally are not present during the daytime. They appear by rising out from the ground, usually in large groups. To defeat them, Mario must jump on them; if they only receive a hit from Cappy, they are stunned for a short time and quickly heal the damage. They can also be defeated if charged at while riding Jaxi, or capturing a Chargin' Chuck.
After Knucklotec is defeated in the Sand Kingdom, Chinchos can be found in the Deepest Underground. Among them is a glowing Chincho. Defeating the glowing Chincho will give Mario a Power Moon. They also appear in the Knucklotec rematch in the Mushroom Kingdom, appearing from the ground throughout the fight (when Knucklotec throws his fists across the platform). A glowing Chincho also later appears in a sub-area located in the Ruined Kingdom.
Chinchos appear if the player opens chests tied to Treasure Trap Power Moons in an incorrect order. They appear in place of the chests while showing the correct order to open the chests in order to get the Power Moon.
Minecraft[edit]
In the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft, Drowned are replaced by Chinchos.
Concept and creation[edit]
The Chinchos were designed with slightly different eyes compared to those of the Tostarenans.[2] The concept art reveals that they are meant to be dark purple-colored Tostarenans covered by bandages. Their name appears to have been inspired by the Chinchorro mummies.
