| “ | What a happy little ape! Smile and dance, Mookie. Watch him swing and throw his little hammer around... You can tell he's happy to see you. Just look at that smile! Huh? That's not a smile? He's trying to scare us?! Well, uh...it's working now! Yikes! | ” | — Figure description fromKirby and the Forgotten Land |
Mookie is a red hammer-wielding simian-like creature that appears inKirby and the Forgotten Land andKirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World as a member of theBeast Pack. He greatly resemblesOohroo fromKirby Mass Attack, and attempts to throw hammers atKirby orBandana Waddle Dee if either of them are nearby. Mookie yields aStar Coin when defeated, but he can also beinhaled and swallowed for theHammerCopy Ability. His hammer when thrown can also be swallowed for the ability. He is the only common enemy in the series to yield the Hammer ability. In the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, Mookie also appears inStar-Crossed World alongside a stronger Crystal variant.
