In the Japanese version of '' | In the {{wp|Western world|Western}} version, penguins carry large black balls with handles (also called "insanity bombs"),<ref name=NP/> which they throw at [[Wario]] if he gets in their range; in the Japanese version, penguins hold on to beer mugs, and they instead try to splash alcohol on him. Despite the regional difference, [[Prima Games|Prima]] guides published after the [[Game Boy Color]] release show a screenshot of a penguin holding a beer mug.<ref>Campbell, Stuart.

As penguins mostly appear in areas with small platforms and many opportunities to fall down a pit, there is also always a body of [[water]] near them that can be used to cure the status ailment they evoke. | ||
