'''Penguins''' are a species of anthropomorphic, flightless bird found in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. They are good swimmers and often inhabit cold climates, like their real-world {{wp|penguin|counterpart}}s, to which they bear varying degrees of resemblance, depending on the game. Many also inhabit tropical areas, as seen in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Most of them do not hurt [[Mario]], though they sometimes act as obstacles or hindrances to his quest. Friendly penguins often speak with Mario, sometimes asking for his help or offering him a service.

Penguins from the ''Super Mario'' franchise are colored a moderate dark shade of blue with white bellies, making them similar to [[Bumpty|Bumpties]]. They also resemble {{wp|little penguin}}s, also colored dark blue. Uncommonly in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' feature red, green, and yellow penguins (the red one in the latter having long, yellow eyebrows similar to {{wp|rockhopper penguin}}s), while a purple one appears in the latter. [[Penguru]] and [[Coach (Super Mario Galaxy)|Coach]] are colored similar to both {{wp|king penguin}}s and {{wp|emperor penguin}}s and are gray and black respectively. In some games, the back of their heads is tapered by a small crest.
