'''Whackas''' are rare, blue mole-like creatures that first appeared in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. Their name and appearance are derived from the popular arcade game "{{wp|Whac-A-Mole}}." Attacking them in any way makes a [[Whacka Bump]] appear. However, if they are attacked eight times, they run away, releasing a few coins. | '''Whackas''' are rare, blue mole-like creatures that first appeared in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]].

Whackas reappear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' near [[Downtown of Crag]], also behaving identically as their earlier incarnations. When the Whacka disappears in ''Super Paper Mario'', a female Cragnon named [[Norite]] appears where Whacka once popped out, who claims that the Whacka was her friend. The Whacka also appears as a [[Catch Card]] that can be obtained by collecting 300 shop points. There is also a [[Sammer Guy]] by the name of [[List of Sammer Guys#Wrath of Whacka|Wrath of Whacka]] in the game, who says he hopes to avenge the smitten Whackas of the dimensions. | Whackas reappear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' near [[Downtown of Crag]], also behaving identically as their earlier incarnations.
