Coach (Super Mario Galaxy): Difference between revisions
Touch-ups. (Of note, the Prima Guide refers to Guppy as a shark. I think the fact that it calls Coach an "emperor penguin" is more so a result of that species being more well-known than king penguins in western media, and it is more accurate to take a neutral assertion in our article here.)

'''Coach''' is a big [[penguin]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. In the first game, Coach teaches Mario how to surf on [[Ray]] in the [[Loopdeeloop Galaxy]] and later appears teaching small penguins how to swim in the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]]. He gives advice as to the location of one of the [[Power Star]]s in the area when prompted. | |||
Unlike the large, blue-colored penguins from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Coach and [[Penguru]] have unique plumage that makes them resemble {{wp|Aptenodytes|great penguin}}s. There is [[Penguin Racers|another penguin character]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' referred to as "Coach" by [[Yellow Toad (Toad Brigade)|Yellow Toad]], but this character is given a distinct name in the original Japanese script that differentiates the two. | |||

Coach first appeared in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. He can be found in the [[Loopdeeloop Galaxy|Loopdeeloop]], Beach Bowl and [[Loopdeeswoop Galaxy|Loopdeeswoop]] galaxies. | |||
Coach is the instructor of his own swimming class in the Beach Bowl Galaxy. He appears in all of the missions, though his roles are more or less minimal. In the [[Sunken Treasure]] mission, he tells [[Mario]] that his students are being distracted by "[[Star Chip|sparklies]]," and sends Mario to collect them. In the second mission, [[Passing the Swim Test]], Coach offers Mario a chance to get a Power Star if he collects a [[Gold Shell]] and brings it to him. His role is greatly diminished for the [[The Secret Undersea Cavern|third mission]], where he only tells Mario not to break the wall to the undersea cavern. In the purple coin mission, he tells Mario that his class is having free time and wants Mario to play nice. | |||
Coach is also the instructor of [[ray surfing]] in the [[Loopdeeloop Galaxy]] and [[Loopdeeswoop Galaxy]]. If Mario manages to surf on [[Ray]] to the end of the water course, he is then awarded a Power Star. | |||

Coach appears in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', in the [[Cosmic Cove Galaxy]]. The only difference in his physical appearance is that the band on his arm is blue, rather than red. In this game, Coach only appears in two missions, [[Twin Falls Hideaway]] and [[Exploring the Cosmic Cavern]]. In the former, Coach would tell Mario that he is the swimming coach and that his students are all out in the water swimming; while in the latter, he informs Mario that there is a [[Luma]] trapped in a cage and that everyone is out looking for the key to open it. Once again, his role is minimal in the game. | |||
