Whackas are rare creatures known for their valuable Whacka Bumps. However, to obtain one from it, one must hit it with a hammer or by jumping on it. The bumps aren't infinite, and after hitting it 8 times, the Whacka disappears.

Paper Mario[]

In Paper Mario, a Whacka is found on Mt. Rugged, and his bumps will restore lots of stats. Whacka Bumps are best saved for boss battles.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[]

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, a Whacka can be found in Keelhaul Key, with the same function and purpose as the previous game. This game also confirms the endangered status of the Whacka, as the character Wonky remarks on there being only one Whacka left.

Super Paper Mario[]

In Super Paper Mario, a Whacka can be found in the Downtown of Crag, and once again functions like its previous incarnations. After the Whacka disappears, a Cragnon named Norite is in his place. When spoken to, she will tell Mario that the Whacka was her friend.

Tattles[]

Paper Mario: He's a Whacka. When you hit Whackas, they get Bumps that fall off. I heard that they're yummy. You know, I'm not normally into hitting Whackas, but once I heard of their tasty Bumps... I got the urge to whack' em!

Paper Mario unused: This is a whacka. That bump on this head looks like a donut hole. You probably shouldn't have hit him so much. He looks a little peeved.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door: That's a rare Whacka. I don't think you see many of his kind anymore, nope. If you whack a Whacka, they drop a Whacka Bump. Those are supposed to be delicious. They fetch a high price in gourmet auctions, too. Yup, super-precious delicacies. Still, whacking a defenseless creature to get one... You'd never do that, right, Mario?

Super Paper Mario: That’s Whacka... It’s very rare to see one... It’s delicate and easily harmed... Don’t hit it or stomp on it...
