Konami are such trolls that the sign will kill you if you touch it......

This might be my favourite Penguin found in a game, because it's from one of my favourite games:
Secret Penguin race in Shenmue 2

Unlocking the Duck Race minigame is a secret side mission in itself, but in order to race a Penguin, it currently needs to be a rainy day:

I haven't seen many penguins in games that I've played lately, so I might as well post the ones that I've gathered up over the last few months!


The stage for Chill Man in Mega Man 10 (Proton, in this case) features flying penguins who drop egg-shaped bombs on the player-characters.


In the Japan-only platformer Pulseman (Mega Drive/Genesis), the Alaska and Australia stages feature robotic penguin enemies who slide around on their bellies and give chase if they spot you.


Sonic The Hedgehog (Mega Drive/Genesis) features little penguins as some of the animal-friends who leap out of destroyed enemy robots, appearing in any stage containing water. In early English-language materials for the series, this penguin character was named "Tux".

Unlockable Penguin costume in PES 2008: Pro Evolution Soccer
I have not got the 5000 PES Points yet to unlock the costume..... But when I do ill take a screenshot of a team dressed as penguins.........

Just discovered the same costume is in Pro Evolution 6 on the PS2 as well.......

(Extreme) Tux Racer, Pingus, Super Tux, and Tux Kart are all great. Though for the first post, I'll stick with the first Croc on the Saturn. :P

I've got a couple more, both from the same series this time;


The frosty levels in World 3 of New Adventure Island (TurboGrafx-16) have penguins who spin around on their backsides and slide towards you.


Meanwhile, the beaches of the second world in Super Adventure Island (SNES) feature odd-looking little penguin enemies who dive at you when you approach.

Oh these are great, haha! Can't wait to see them in action!

And not Bomberman?! Pff! (Saturn Bomberman is excellent, by the way - though lacking in penguins. I've got a lot of fondness for the Saturn, since it was more like a follow-up to the SNES than the Nintendo 64 was.)

Saturn Bomberman is great. Up to 10 players can play at a time locally, and it has 4 player online play (2 per console) via the Netlink (that still works via direct dial). Definitely one of the best titles in the series too. I think there is (or someone is working on) a way to play the Saturn direct dial games via a DreamPi, iirc.
