'''Bumpties'''<ref name=guide>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent and Terry Munson|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|language=en-us|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=[[Media:SMW2 Guide 126.jpg|126]]}}</ref> are a race of [[penguin]]-like creatures that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. They are usually found in icy regions, and are generally seen either patrolling or jumping around on the ground, although they can also be seen flying, despite being inspired by penguins. Bumpties have pear- or egg-shaped bodies. Most Bumpties are light-blue; however, they appear blue in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' and lavender in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', while purple, blue-gray, green, and teal individuals also appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Their name is a corruption of "bumpy", referring to their bouncy, rubbery feathers.

==History==
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
Bumpties are usually found wandering around in icy areas of [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]] in their debut game, ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. While [[Yoshi]] can grab Bumpties with his tongue, he cannot eat them. Also, if he runs into one, he is bumped backwards, hence the name. This means that Bumpties cannot hurt Yoshi, though they may bump him into other hazards such as a [[pit|bottomless pit]] or [[thorn]]s. Their official artwork depicts them as a more purple shade of indigo.

They can also steal Baby Mario if Baby Mario has already been knocked off Yoshi and is floating towards one, like a [[Bandit]].<ref>{{cite|author=Reed|date=July 29, 2013|url=nintendo3dsdaily.com/nintendoarticles/yoshis-island-tour-part-17-the-best-and-the-worst/|title=Yoshi’s Island Tour, Part 17: The Best and the Worst|publisher=Nintendo 3DS Daily|accessdate=July 29, 2013|archive=web.archive.org/web/20130809045021/http://nintendo3dsdaily.com/nintendoarticles/yoshis-island-tour-part-17-the-best-and-the-worst/|deadlink=y}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=UHD Longplays|date=July 15, 2019|url=youtu.be/Di0uWYPQWAs?t=11945|title=Video featuring this in action, at the 3:19:05 mark|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=November 22, 2022}}</ref>

====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
Bumpties appear also in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' in [[Baby Bowser]]'s levels. Here, they can be defeated simply by blasting them with one of Baby Bowser's [[Bowser's Flame|fireballs]].

====''Yoshi's New Island''====
In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', Bumpties appear in [[Brave the Bumpty Blizzard]] and [[Fire Watermelon Wonderland]]. They are colored purple, similarly to their original artwork, instead of blue. Unlike previously, Bumpties will not steal Baby Mario if he has been knocked off Yoshi's back.

===''Tetris Attack''===
A certain Bumpty appears only in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version of ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', allied with [[Dr. Freezegood]] in the "Ice World". It replaces the ice fairy, Sharbet, from ''[[nwiki:Panel de Pon|Panel de Pon]]''. Here, it is depicted as Yoshi's friend, but enchanted by [[Bowser]] and [[Kamek]] to work for them. Yoshi and Bumpty become friends again after freeing it and Dr. Freezegood from the spell. It also notes in the game that others say that it is cute, but it really does not like it, and would like to be considered cool.

===''Yoshi's Story''===
Bumpties reappear in [[Frustration|Stage 3-4: Frustration]] in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They still repel Yoshi if run into, but they can be eaten.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
[[File:Paper Bumpty.png|thumb|left]]
Bumpties, referred to simply as '''[[penguin]]s''', return in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. In this game all the penguins are allies, not enemies. At the beginning of the game, a small group of penguins (including [[Mayor Penguin]]) attend a party at [[Peach's Castle]] prior to the arrival of [[Bowser]]. Later, [[Mario]] travels to a city of penguins called [[Shiver City]]. He also meets a famous penguin named [[Herringway]] who is a writer. Additionally, one of the penguins in Shiver City is a participant of the [[Toad Town Dojo|Dojo]] in [[Toad Town#Paper Mario|Toad Town]], having fought his way to a [[Third-Degree Card]].

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
[[File:PMTTYDBumpty.png|thumb|A penguin in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'']]
Penguins also make a small appearance in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' where they live in [[Poshley Heights]], a town of the rich and famous. Mario also meets an incompetent detective penguin named [[Pennington]]. The penguins living in Poshley Heights typically say 'eh' in between sentences, an exclamation stereotypically associated with {{wp|Canadian English}}.

===''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''===
[[File: SMA4 Bumpty sprite.png|thumb|left]]
Bumpties also appear in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', only appearing in the World-e level [[Slip Slidin' Away (Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3)|Slip Slidin' Away]]. The sprites are the same as in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', but with a slightly different palette. Players cannot harm them unless they use a [[Fire Flower]] or [[Hammer Suit]]. If players try stomping on it, they are bounced off, and if they touch it from the side, players will not be harmed, but they will be knocked off to the side. Bumpties have no collision with [[Stretch Block]]s and can walk inside them.

===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
[[File:WoollyBumptyHQ.png|thumb|A Bumpty in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']]
In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', Bumpties come in three different types. Some walk left and right, others fly left and right, and the last start off walking but switch into a sitting slide. Jumping on a flying Bumpty does not affect its flight. While sliding, Bumpties move faster and bounce off walls. Bumpties will bounce Yoshi away if they hit him instead of dealing damage. Bumpties can be eaten, but are not converted into a [[yarn ball]]. Bumpties that are spat out will always walk. However, a Bumpty that slides will revert to sliding in short order after it lands. Bumpties appear only in the levels [[Big Montgomery's Ice Fort]], [[Snowy Mountain Lift Tour]] and [[Wonderful World of Wool]].

===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
Bumpties reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', notably being summoned by [[Burt the Ball]] in the boss fight against him in [[Burt's Bouncy Battle]]. There are also some Bumpties who appear as spectators in the same course. They also appear as basic enemies in [[Chilly-Hot Isles]]. Some use buckets as armor to push Yoshi into the water. Yoshi can hit them with [[Yoshi's Egg|eggs]] to obtain Red Coins. Throwing a Bumpty into the water causes it to drown.

[[File:Babymarioinsnow.jpg|thumb|Pictures of Raphael the Raven edited to somewhat resemble Bumpties]]
*The official wallpaper of [[World 5 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 5]] from ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'' released by Nintendo features the official artwork of [[Raphael the Raven]], but shrunk and recolored to resemble a Bumpty.
