MIPS Chungus

MIPS Chungus is an altered version of MIPS from Super Mario 64. Appearance-wise, it is akin to MIPS, albeit with a stockier build and white fur on the front area of its body. It resembles that of a fat version of Bugs Bunny in the Looney Tunes short Wabbit Twouble, which was given the name "Big Chungus" by the internet. Whether or not this is coincidental or intentional on Nintendo's part remains uncertain.

A superstition on the internet states that MIPS Chungus appears more frequently to people who browse Reddit or who are younger than 18 years of age. Coincidentally, this is also the common consensus towards people who would find Big Chungus to be funny. It is also believed to be a result of the collective conscious to see Big Chungus in the game, most likely by said Redditors and people under the age of 18.

Behavior
MIPS Chungus can appear in any part of Princess Peach's Castle, unlike MIPS who only appears in the basement area of said castle. MIPS Chungus holds the same Power Stars as MIPS does, regardless of any area that MIPS Chungus is in. Either MIPS or MIPS Chungus can appear in the castle; both cannot appear in the same game.

The behavior of MIPS Chungus is similar to that of MIPS, albeit much slower and with a larger hitbox for Mario to catch. It is considered much easier to catch than MIPS, perhaps due to modification by the Personalisation A.I. to make the MIPS chase easier for young people.

A strange phenomenon that occurs with MIPS Chungus is that the body of it rotates up and down a certain amount erratically, making it look like it's shaking it's butt; twerking. This could be caused by the corruption of the model itself, or entirely intentional for laughs. A strange clapping noise occurs when Mario is near MIPS Chungus doing this strange erratic movement, which can support the latter option. Whether or not the clapping comes from MIPS Chungus or Mario is not certain, as both options are ridiculous.

Trivia

 * The inclusion of MIPS Chungus can imply that Shigeru Miyamoto is a fan of Looney Tunes.
 * Coincidentally, the strange phenomenon of MIPS Chungus "twerking" is akin to the Yo Mama video on Youtube known as "Yo Mama So Thicc! Big Chungus", in which Big Chungus is twerking while Brody Foxx claps to the dance. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a8xAPQDyts
