Chao & Goku
| ||||||||||||
|
Chao is a human girl making her debut in the Japanese game Yūyūki. She makes a guest appearance in Kirby series by debuting in the Japanese version of Kirby's Dream Land 2 and international version of Kirby's Dream Land 3. She is seen with an anthropomorphic monkey called Goku.
Chao's hair is black and held in pigtails. She wears a red robe with white linings and black shoes as Goku does after being befriended. In Chao's Zenpen artwork for Yūyūki, she wears white pants and socks; in Kouhen artwork, she appears to be older, slimmer, and wears no pants or socks. Chao's sprites in the Kirby series are modeTemplate:Led after her appearance in Zenpen, and Goku appears as he does at the beginning of the game after being found by Chao. In the Kirby's Dream Land 3 manga, Chao's pants are red.
Game appearances
Kirby's Dream Land 2
Chao only appears in the Japanese version of Kirby's Dream Land 2, where she is trapped in a bag, and Kirby can free her by popping the bag if he has the same Animal Friend by his side already, though usually Gooey appears instead. She is required for 100% completion of the game, and also appears in the Sound Test playing the piano. The Girl blob takes Chao's role in the western versions of the game.
Kirby's Dream Land 3
In Kirby's Dream Land 3, Chao returns, retaining her design from Kirby's Dream Land 2. She appears in Grass Land - Stage 4, where she and Goku get separated. After their reunion, Chao gives Kirby a Heart Star as thanks. Like Donbe & Hikari, she and Goku retain their classic 8-bit look.
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Chao and Goku appear as a spirit.
