'''Baby Penguins''' (or '''baby penguins''') are infant [[penguin]]s who often appear alongside their adult counterparts. In comparison to them, the bodies of Baby Penguins are more stout.

==History==
{{stub|section=y|''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'' information}}
===''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''===
[[File:Tuxie.png|thumb|left|100px|Mario holding Tuxie in ''Super Mario 64'']]
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', there are two Baby Penguins found on [[Cool, Cool Mountain]]. One is found at the top of the mountain and is given the names '''Tuxie''',<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott and Dan Owsen|title=''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide|page=38|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1996|language=en}}</ref> '''Li'l Penguin''',<ref name=Tweet>{{cite|language=en|author=NintendoAmerica|date=September 21, 2020|url=x.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1308103799068860417|title=Post|publisher=X|accessdate=June 5, 2024|archive=web.archive.org/web/20200921180142/https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1308103799068860417}}</ref> and just the Baby Penguin.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/19980610064426/http://www.nintendo.com:80/n64/super_mario64/4-2.html|title=Course 4 - Star 2: Li'l Penguin Lost|publisher=Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy|language=en-us|accessdate=February 23, 2018}}</ref> The name "Tuxie" comes from "tux," the shortened form of "{{wp|Black tie|tuxedo}}," which is a type of formal suit that bears a resemblance to a penguin's plumage. She needs to be reunited with the [[Mother Penguin]]. [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] must pick Tuxie up and carry her down the mountain to the Mother Penguin, located at its base. Since [[Yoshi]] cannot pick up anything with his hands, he cannot do this objective, and eating Tuxie simply makes her ask him not to do so and tell him she is not tasty, after which he spits her out. For finding Tuxie, the Mother Penguin awards the player character a [[Power Star]]. However, if Tuxie is picked up again after being returned, the Mother Penguin follows the player character sternly until he drops her. The player is able to drop Tuxie off the mountain without angering the Mother Penguin.

The other Baby Penguin is located on the roof of the cabin next to the Mother Penguin. If the player character delivers this lookalike to the Mother Penguin, she tells him that it looks nothing like her baby (she says elsewhere that her baby has her beak).

The Baby Penguins make a chirping sound as they walk, which can be heard from a short distance away. However, once the player character picks either of the penguins up, it emits a whining cry that sounds slightly like a car alarm, which stops only if the player character lets the penguin go or drops it. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the incorrect Baby Penguin does not make the crying sound when it is picked up. If Mario performs a [[dive]] near either Tuxie or the other Baby Penguin near the Mother Penguin, the Baby Penguin performs a dive as well.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
In the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], Baby Penguins appear around [[N64 Sherbet Land|Sherbet Land]] in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. In both appearances, Baby Penguins push away and spin any racer that bumps into them. They move across the track from side to side and attack by lying on their bellies and sliding.

===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party 3''====
Baby Penguins appear in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' on the board [[Chilly Waters]].

====''Mario Party 4''====
Baby Penguins make a minor appearance in one of the puzzles in the ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' minigame [[Photo Finish]].

====''Mario Party 5'' / ''Mario Party: The Top 100''====
In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', Baby Penguins appear in [[Pushy Penguins]] and [[Later Skater]], both returning in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''. In the former minigame, the object is to avoid an incoming large group of Baby Penguins and normal penguins as they run across from the right side of the screen and dive into the water to the left.

====''Mario Party 6''====
In ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', a Baby Penguin appears as one of the friends that need to be found in the minigame [[Lab Brats]].

====''Mario Party 7''====
[[File:8-Player Ice Battle Welcoming.png|thumb|left|200px|Baby Penguins in ''Mario Party 7'']]
Baby Penguins appear as spectators in various modes throughout ''[[Mario Party 7]]''.

====''Mario Party 8''====
Baby Penguins appear in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' in the minigame [[Cardiators]] as a card; if their card is drawn, either one Baby Penguin or a group of seven Baby Penguins will charge at the opponent, dealing one and seven damage, respectively.

*After reuniting Tuxie with her mother, Mario possesses the option to pick her up once again and to drop her off the world, killing her, before obtaining the star. This tactic is quite common amongst the fan base who claim it to be cathartic after listening to her annoying cries.

====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====
Baby Penguins appear in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' in the minigame [[Go with the Floe]].

====''Super Mario Party''====
[[File:Super Mario Party - Penguin Pushers.png|thumb|Baby Penguins in Penguin Pushers from ''Super Mario Party'']]

====''Mario Party Superstars''====
[[File:MPS Pushy Penguins.jpg|thumb|left|Some Baby Penguins in ''Mario Party Superstars'']]
Baby Penguins, alongside normal penguins, return in the minigame [[Pushy Penguins]] in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''. Baby Penguins also have their own page in the [[Data House#Encyclopedia|encyclopedia]].
{{br}}
