Penguins rescued in Sonic The Hedgehog on the Sega Game Gear.......
Pengling Dec 14, 2023
I've gathered up a few more penguin sightings;


The stage "Shiny Slippy Icy Floor" in Bomberman 64 (Nintendo 64) features penguin foes who waddle and slide around erratically in an attempt to collide with Bomberman.


The Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy version of Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Proton) features penguin enemies, just as the original did.


Aimlessly-waddling penguin robots show up in the snow-and-ice-themed Diamond Dust Zone, in Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island (Mega Drive).


The snow zone in Sonic Triple Trouble (Game Gear) includes skiing penguin-shaped bombs! They're also thrown at you by that world's boss, which is a large penguin robot.

Man, I remember Happy Penguin! I would've always been on the "Penguins in GPL games are cute." side of the poll.

I even discovered recently, thanks to the current installment of your Building a Retro Linux Gaming Computer series, that there are apparently a couple of old Bomberman clones where Tux appears - I'll have to investigate those further!

Got a few more!


Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards features squat little penguin enemies known as Emps. An Emp will run away in a panic as soon as it sees you!


In keeping with other entries in the series, Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic The Hedgehog 2 has some stages that include little penguin friends who need to be rescued from enemy robots.


Large penguin enemies, who erratically hop and slide around trying to collide with the player, appear in Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble 3.


Pudgy penguins float down on umbrellas in one of the stages of the parody cute-'em-up, Star Parodier.

Peggy looks SO 1990s! Fantastic!

Been awhile since anyone has posted in here....... So I think its time the Pittsburgh Penguins make their triumphant return......

In Mario Party 2 (Nintendo 64), the mini-game "Filet Relay" sees the characters don penguin-suits in order to deliver fish to an igloo filled with penguins.


The free-to-play party game Stumble Guys (Proton) features the unlockable character Willy Penguin.

So we've got the Grinning Terror, his friend who's obviously appalled by whatever's being looked at, Dean Cain wandering in behind them both, and a bunch of extras from Metal Gear Solid watching the proceedings. At least their penguin mascot doesn't have a face like those!

Sorry for the double-post - I don't usually like to do so, but I need to make an exception this time;

Quoting: eldakingI think an important addition to this thread is the Age of Wonders series, that in all its instances include penguins as a vicious monster. See for example: https://ageofwonders.fandom.com/wiki/Dire_Penguin!
Available for another week at the time of writing, Makeship currently has an official Dire Penguin plush listed, due to ship in August.

Death Road to Canada has a hilarious cameo by some cute penguins in the ending.

I pressed F12 a second too late to get them in the screenshot.
