'''Cooligans''' are blue, [[penguin]]-like creatures sporting a pair of sunglasses that first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of the words "cool" and "hooligan".

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:NSMBW Cooligan Screenshot.png|200px|thumb|right|Mario encounters two Cooligans.]]
These enemies first appear in [[World 3-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3-1]], and later appear in [[World 9-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-5]]. They are seen sliding and can damage [[Mario]] and the others if they run into one of them, although if Mario or anyone else is in the [[Penguin Suit]] and they are sliding too, then they bounce off unhurt. It takes two jumps to defeat one; one jump knocks off a Cooligan's sunglasses first, slowing it down. They also fall down holes rather than hover over them. In this state, if rammed by another Cooligan, it gets defeated.

Cooligans can be defeated instantly by a [[Fire Flower]], [[Super Star|Star]], [[Ice Flower]], [[Penguin Suit]], or [[Ground Pound]]. Cooligans continue to slide even if they are frozen, and as such can be used as platforms.

The Cooligan's attack pattern is notably similar to another penguin-based enemy, the [[Lemguin]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
Cooligans return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', first found in [[Frosted Glacier]], specifically in [[Cooligan Fields]]. They behave in a similar manner as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. They also appear as the Frosted Glacier [[Enemy Course]]. In this game, they can slide on the surface of water, similar to [[Penguin Mario]]. Cooligans can be eaten by [[Baby Yoshi]]s in this game, and also trapped in [[bubble]]s blown by a [[Bubble Baby Yoshi]].

Cooligans return in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' in their own level, [[Cooligan Shrooms]], which itself replaces Cooligan Fields.

===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party 9''====
[[File:MP9 1v3 Mob Sleds.png|thumb|left|200px|The Cooligan snowmobiles from Mob Sleds]]
Although Cooligans themselves do not appear in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', snowmobiles that resemble their likeness make an appearance in the minigame [[Mob Sleds]]. They are piloted by the three players as they attempt to eliminate the solo player.

====''Super Mario Party Jamboree''====
[[File:Slide n' Chill.webp|thumb|Cooligans in Sled to the Edge]]
In ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', Cooligans appear in [[Sled to the Edge]] where they pull the players' sleds along the ice until they let go, after which they slide off-screen.

===''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''===
[[File:CooliganPMSS.png|thumb|left|Cooligans seen in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'']]
Cooligans make their ''Paper Mario'' series debut in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', where they appear in the [[Snow Rise]] and [[Ice Flow]] levels of [[World 4 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 4]]. In the former level, they are seen sliding down a snow-covered slope. In the latter level, Cooligans are seen waddling down the ice path before sliding; this is the first instance in which Cooligans are shown walking. Mario cannot face Cooligans in battle, but he will lose 2 HP if he crashes into them.

Mario can jump on a sliding Cooligan to make it disappear instantly. In the Snow Rise level, once Mario uses the [[Radiator]] sticker, three Cooligans can be seen stuck, showing that they cannot slide without ice, and hop if Mario uses his hammer near them. In the Ice Flow level, sometimes a [[Curling Stone]], [[Rubber Ducky]], or [[Cat-o-Luck]] [[Sticker#Things|Thing]] slide down the ice trail along with the Cooligans.

===''Mario Golf: Super Rush''===
Cooligans appear in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'' as obstacles in [[Blustery Basin]]. In Speed Golf, they can be defeated by dashing into or jumping on them since contact will slow players down.

A Cooligan was originally going to appear in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as an assistant, but it was removed from the game.<ref>https://drmarioworld.miraheze.org/wiki/Assistants</ref>
