Image	Year	Notes
	pre-1977	This picture is from the CEC Entertainment 4th Quarter Video Update. This costume was what Nolan Bushnell was going to call Coyote Pizza. He ordered what he thought was a large coyote costume. Instead a large grey rat showed up! Due to this, he started shaping the restaurant around a rat instead. He was going to call the main character "Rick Rat". However, the board told him that people would not want to go to a restaurant whose mascot was a rat. Eventually when the first restaurant opened. This character was never used for any other purpose than the early Atari mascot.
	1977-Early 1980s	This is the first official Chuck E. Cheese costume
	Early 1980s-1987	Designed by Harold Goldbrandsen, this costume now featured blushes on his cheeks. He is also had his name on his derby hat. Originally, his vest has orange-yellow checkboards and has the words "Pizza Time Theater" on his derby before the company merged with Showbiz Pizza Place. Although most restaurants stopped using the costume by 1988, some Chuck E. Cheese's locations still used this until the early 1990's.
	1981-1987	Chuck E. has an articulated head. His eyelids and mouth move. This was only used in commercials, and never appeared in any stores widespread.
	1987-1993	This Chuck E. Cheese costume now has larger ears, an improved eye focus, the blushes from his cheeks were removed. Many clothing for this costume were used. For example, the tuxedo clothing has a red bowtie, a black-and-gold (sometimes black only) tuxedo suit and pants. Sometimes he had a black derby hat. Another clothing was his a black bowtie, a green-yellow sports coat that has his name it it, red shorts and red shoes.
	1993-2013	An new and improved Chuck E. Cheese costume is introduced with major changes from earlier costumes. This includes his eyes, mouth, ears and eyebrows. During the first years of the costume, he has slightly bigger eye pupils, and eyelid colors. Like the previous costume, he has many different clothing over the years like the "Avenger Chuck E." (pictured), a red-yellow shirt and the tuxedo and sports clothing from the previous costume. Despite the character's redesign in 2012, the costume lasted until 2013.
