'''Tingle''' ({{ja|チンクル|Chinkuru}}, ''Chinkle'') is a character from {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} universe.


==Origin==
[[File:Tingle-Origin.png|thumb|left|200px|Tingle as he appears in ''The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker'', which his Assist Trophy in ''Smash Bros.'' is based on.]]
Tingle first appeared in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask}}''. He is seen hovering around on a balloon that Link must shoot down. Once grounded, Tingle will offer to draw a{{iw|zeldawiki|map}} of the area in exchange for {{s|zeldawiki|Rupee}}s, which Tingle claims is "for cheap" because he likes Link and {{iw|zeldawiki|Tatl}}. Tingle ends every conversation with "Tingle, Tingle! Kooloo-Limpah", which are his supposed "magic words". Tingle claims to be a reincarnation of a {{s|zeldawiki|fairy}} and desires to have one, though his father states that he is a delusional 35 year old man. Tingle has reappeared several times throughout the series, and is often considered one of the oddest and most noticeable recurring characters. Tingle is a short character that resembles a middle aged, slightly under-heighted man dressed in a green suit.  Tingle later appeared in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages}}'' as a minor role where he will offer Link a few items for finding him. Tingle then appears in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker}}'', where he made {{s|zeldawiki|Triforce Charts}} readable by saying his magic words (at the price of 398 rupees). He notably is first seen in a cell in this game and allegedly mistreats his family by forcing them to do labor on his home island. Tingle has made a few more small appearances, notably in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures}}'' and ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap}}'', as well as his likeness appearing in most mainline entries in some form. Tingle has also appeared as the star of his own [[zeldawiki:Tingle (Series)|series of games]] consisting of ''{{iw|zeldawiki|Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland}}'', an RPG with gameplay mechanics focused around buying and selling items for Rupees in order to escape to a nirvana known as Rupeeland; ''{{iw|zeldawiki|Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love}}'', a point and click adventure with dating simulator elements and a plot loosely based on L. Frank Baum's ''Oz'' novels; as well as two spin-off games, ''{{iw|zeldawiki|Tingle's Balloon Fight DS}}'' and ''{{iw|zeldawiki|Too Much Tingle Pack}}''.

'''Tingle''' (Japanese: チンクル, ''Chinkuru'') is a character originally from [[The Legend of Zelda universe|The Legend of Zelda]] [[universe]].  
==''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
===As a background character===
[[File:Tingle Melee.png|thumb|left|Tingle's appearance on Great Bay.]]
Tingle, in his ''Majora's Mask'' design, appears as a stage element in the [[Great Bay]] stage. Similar to his appearances in the actual game, Tingle starts off by floating in the air with his balloon, appearing to draw another map; his balloon can also act as a temporary platform. However, if an attack hits the balloon, or if a player stands too long on it, it will pop, dealing 1% of damage to anyone directly next to it, and sending Tingle back down to the ground. After some time on the ground, Tingle will reinflate his balloon and go back up into the air, to repeat the process.


==Character description==
Tingle can be used like an [[item]] with an [[Action Replay]]. He can only appear on the [[TEST]] stage if an Action Replay is used. As a trophy, his design from this stage is used.
Tingle is a short character that resembles a middle-aged, half-sized man dressed in a green suit. Equally as odd or perhaps moreso than that is his personality, primarily his delusional insistence that he is a reincarnation of a fairy. He made his debut in the game ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'' and has become one of the ''Zelda'' series' oddest and most noticeable recurring characters.

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==
===Trophy===
Tingle, having been introduced the previous year in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'', is featured in two cameo roles in ''Melee'' in his first incarnation:

[[File:Tingle SSBB.jpg|thumb|Tingle in gameplay in ''Brawl''.]]
Tingle appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''Brawl'', taking his design from ''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker'', the only Assist Trophy from the vast ''The Legend of Zelda'' series. Tingle summons random effects while chanting "Tingle! Tingle! Kooloo-limpah!". These effects include:
*Creating a plethora of {{b|Hammer|item}}s & [[Golden Hammer]]s. Note that Hammers and Golden Hammers will appear even if those items are turned off.
*Throws [[Banana Peel]]s in the air, making the whole ground [[slippery]] which results in a lot of [[tripping]]. Note that this also affects the summoner's teammates in a team battle. Characters also automatically trip upon landing.
*Releases lots of flowers, making the camera zoom in on the fighter who summoned him.
*Gives everyone [[Superspicy Curry]] status.
*Flies away releasing a plethora of balloons, no negative effects other than a possible minor distraction to the fighters.
 
====Tingle camera glitch====
The Tingle camera glitch (discovered by Supergamesiper9) involves the camera getting stuck until the match ends. To perform the glitch, [[Assist Trophy]] and [[Dragoon]] must be on. If Tingle is summoned, he must use the flower effect. Then the other player needs to collect all of the Dragoon parts. Then they need to shoot the player who summoned Tingle (the camera will be zoomed on them), [[KO]]'ing them. The camera will be stuck facing to the right until the match ends.

Tingle appears as a stage element in the [[Great Bay]] stage. Tingle is tied onto a balloon string and is floating over the stage. Tingle's balloon can be used as a platform. If the balloon breaks by either an attack or from standing on it too long, Tingle will struggle in the air then fall to the ground. If a character touches the balloon while it is popping, that character will take little damage. Tingle will blow his balloon up after being on the ground for a few seconds.

In [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]], Tingle is presumably one of the countless spirits captured by [[Galeem]] during his takeover of the universe. Tingle's spirit is located in the ribbon hills section of [[The Light Realm]].
Tingle makes a few appearance in ''Brawl'', being an assist trophy as his most prominent role. He also appears as a collectible trophy and sticker.


===As an Assist Trophy===
Tingle's Spirit Battle uses three {{SSBU|Villager}} puppet fighters, two of which represent his brothers Ankle and Knuckle, and is fought on the [[Great Bay]] stage, which features Tingle as a stage element. He is fought along with the [[Young Link]] puppet fighter. During the battle, the floor becomes slippery and the fighters cannot control their speed, referencing Tingle's Assist Trophy ability to make the floor slippery in previous ''Super Smash Bros.'' games. The Villager puppet fighters also frequently float on balloons and love to taunt, referencing how Tingle and his brothers float with balloons strapped to their backs and perform their strange dances.
Tingle appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''Brawl'', taking his appearence from ''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker'' and also being the only character to represent the vast ''The Legend of Zelda'' series as an Assist Trophy.

Tingle (チンクル, Chinkle) is a character from The Legend of Zelda universe.

Origin[edit]

Tingle as he appears in The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, which his Assist Trophy in Smash Bros. is based on.

Tingle first appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. He is seen hovering around on a balloon that Link must shoot down. Once grounded, Tingle will offer to draw amap of the area in exchange for Rupees, which Tingle claims is "for cheap" because he likes Link and Tatl. Tingle ends every conversation with "Tingle, Tingle! Kooloo-Limpah", which are his supposed "magic words". Tingle claims to be a reincarnation of a fairy and desires to have one, though his father states that he is a delusional 35 year old man. Tingle has reappeared several times throughout the series, and is often considered one of the oddest and most noticeable recurring characters. Tingle is a short character that resembles a middle aged, slightly under-heighted man dressed in a green suit. Tingle later appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages as a minor role where he will offer Link a few items for finding him. Tingle then appears in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, where he made Triforce Charts readable by saying his magic words (at the price of 398 rupees). He notably is first seen in a cell in this game and allegedly mistreats his family by forcing them to do labor on his home island. Tingle has made a few more small appearances, notably in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures and The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, as well as his likeness appearing in most mainline entries in some form. Tingle has also appeared as the star of his own series of games consisting of Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, an RPG with gameplay mechanics focused around buying and selling items for Rupees in order to escape to a nirvana known as Rupeeland; Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love, a point and click adventure with dating simulator elements and a plot loosely based on L. Frank Baum's Oz novels; as well as two spin-off games, Tingle's Balloon Fight DS and Too Much Tingle Pack.

Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

As a background character[edit]

Tingle's appearance on Great Bay.

Tingle, in his Majora's Mask design, appears as a stage element in the Great Bay stage. Similar to his appearances in the actual game, Tingle starts off by floating in the air with his balloon, appearing to draw another map; his balloon can also act as a temporary platform. However, if an attack hits the balloon, or if a player stands too long on it, it will pop, dealing 1% of damage to anyone directly next to it, and sending Tingle back down to the ground. After some time on the ground, Tingle will reinflate his balloon and go back up into the air, to repeat the process.

Tingle can be used like an item with an Action Replay. He can only appear on the TEST stage if an Action Replay is used. As a trophy, his design from this stage is used.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

As an Assist Trophy[edit]

Tingle in gameplay in Brawl.

Tingle appears as an Assist Trophy in Brawl, taking his design from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, the only Assist Trophy from the vast The Legend of Zelda series. Tingle summons random effects while chanting "Tingle! Tingle! Kooloo-limpah!". These effects include:

  • Creating a plethora of Hammers & Golden Hammers. Note that Hammers and Golden Hammers will appear even if those items are turned off.
  • Throws Banana Peels in the air, making the whole ground slippery which results in a lot of tripping. Note that this also affects the summoner's teammates in a team battle. Characters also automatically trip upon landing.
  • Releases lots of flowers, making the camera zoom in on the fighter who summoned him.
  • Gives everyone Superspicy Curry status.
  • Flies away releasing a plethora of balloons, no negative effects other than a possible minor distraction to the fighters.

Tingle camera glitch[edit]

The Tingle camera glitch (discovered by Supergamesiper9) involves the camera getting stuck until the match ends. To perform the glitch, Assist Trophy and Dragoon must be on. If Tingle is summoned, he must use the flower effect. Then the other player needs to collect all of the Dragoon parts. Then they need to shoot the player who summoned Tingle (the camera will be zoomed on them), KO'ing them. The camera will be stuck facing to the right until the match ends.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

As a background character[edit]

As the Great Bay stage returns in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Majora's Mask incarnation Tingle does as well, behaving identically to his appearance in Melee. However, the Wind Waker incarnation of him does not return as an Assist Trophy.

Spirit[edit]

Tingle also appears an Ace-class support spirit. He can be summoned using the cores of Balloon Fighter and Fairy Bottle.

In Adventure Mode: World of Light, Tingle is presumably one of the countless spirits captured by Galeem during his takeover of the universe. Tingle's spirit is located in the ribbon hills section of The Light Realm.

Tingle's Spirit Battle uses three Villager puppet fighters, two of which represent his brothers Ankle and Knuckle, and is fought on the Great Bay stage, which features Tingle as a stage element.

Trivia[edit]

  • Tingle is one of 5 characters to have been an Assist Trophy in Brawl and Smash 4, but not in Ultimate. This is likely because of his role as a stage hazard.
    • However, other Assist Trophy characters can also appear in the backgrounds of certain stages and will not be summoned if the stage featuring them is selected. This includes the Moon which also appears on Great Bay, and Knuckles who may occasionally appear on Green Hill Zone.
  • When Tingle causes the camera to zoom in as an Assist Trophy, flowers appear. This could be a reference to the box art of Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, which depicted Tingle skipping through a woodland forest surrounded by flowers.
  • Tingle's trophy description in Brawl is inaccurate. Rupeeland is not where Rosy Rupeeland takes place, but rather the goal of the game is to collect enough Rupees to reach Rupeeland.
