Racing to the tree tomorrow morning.|publisher=Facebook|accessdate=August 16, 2022}} ({{file link|Facebook NintendoAUNZ 2020-12-24 screencap.png|Screenshot}}.)</ref> is a giant [[penguin]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. He is a competitor character raced against in the [[Big Penguin Race|third mission]] of [[Cool, Cool Mountain]], where he claims to be the world-champion sledder and, in the [[Nintendo 64]] version, refers to [[Mario]] as "buddy." The Big Penguin is located inside the house at the top of the mountain. When Mario, [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] drops in through the chimney, the Big Penguin speaks to him and challenges him to a race. If the player character accepts, he has to race down the icy [[slide (Super Mario 64)|slide]] in the mountain and beat the penguin to the finish line. The penguin gives the player character a [[Power Star]] if beaten. However, if the player character takes a shortcut by [[jump]]ing onto another section or if he takes the hidden shortcut, the Big Penguin accuses him of cheating and disqualifies him. After every Power Star is collected, the Big Penguin gains weight, which he attributes to not racing on his slide. He can easily knock the player character off the slide if he is raced against in his resulting enlarged state. There is no reward for winning the race again except for further praise from the Big Penguin.

| | The '''Penguin Champ''', also known as the '''Big Penguin'''<ref>''Super Mario 64'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 39</ref>, is a [[penguin]] appearing in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. He is a competitor character along with [[Koopa the Quick]], and is only raced once in the game in [[Cool, Cool Mountain]]. He claims to be the world champion sledder, and seems to know Mario prior to the game's events, calling him "buddy". |

| In original releases, if the player loses to the Big Penguin, he makes a [[Koopa Troopa]] sound when talking instead of his own sound,<ref>{{cite|author=ある東大生実況者しゅん|date=April 28, 2018|url=youtu.be/X92Hze3vnmE?t=2009|title=【実況】スーパーマリオ６４を完全初見でテンションMAXプレイ|publisher=YouTube|language=ja|accessdate=June 4, 2024}}</ref> and he uses the feminine pronoun 「あたし」 ''atashi'' to refer to himself; both of these are not the case in anglophone releases.
| | The Penguin Champ is raced in the [[Cool, Cool Mountain#Star 3: Big Penguin Race|third mission]] of Cool, Cool Mountain. He can be found inside the house at the top of the mountain. When Mario drops in through the chimney, he will speak to Mario and challenge him to a race. If Mario accepts, he will have to race down the icy slide in the mountain and beat the penguin to the finish line. The penguin will give up a [[Power Star]] if beaten. However, if Mario takes a shortcut via skipping part of the slide by jumping onto another section or if he takes the hidden shortcut, the Penguin Champ will accuse him of cheating and will not give up the star. When raced again after obtaining all 120 Power Stars (150 in the remake), he will become bigger and can knock Mario off the slide easily. If he is beaten, he will say that he decided not to slide for a while and let himself go. |
