'''Guppy''' is a minor character in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. He is an orca who appears in a few of the game's missions. In two of the missions, he "takes over" a large body of water, and if [[Mario]] wishes to take it back, he has to swim through eight rings in a set amount of time. After Mario does that, Guppy rewards him with a [[Power Star]]. Guppy also appears in the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]], [[Deep Dark Galaxy]], and in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] at the end of the game.

If Mario touches Guppy, Mario bounces back on the ground and lose a [[Green Shell|Shell]] if he is holding one, but he won't take damage.

''Guppy's bark is definitely worse than his bite. This orca may look menacing, but he's really only aggressive to penguins and Toads. To Mario, Guppy is ultimately harmless, but he does present two challenges: he'll make Mario swim through eight rings in one body of water, and if Mario bumps into him, Guppy will bounce him to the floor. Look for Guppy in the Sea Slide Galaxy and the Deep Dark Galaxy.''

==Trivia==
*According to the [[Prima Games|Prima]] guide for ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Guppy was originally going to be a generic dolphin and a friendly character, despite him already being one, as orcas are a type of dolphin.
**The Prima guide also incorrectly referred Guppy to as a shark.
**In the German version of the game, Guppy refers to himself as a shark instead of an orca.
*In the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]], Guppy will still act as if he has met Mario even if he hasn't been encountered in the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]] yet.
*The Prima guides claims that Guppy is only aggressive to penguins and Toads. This may be a reference to how orcas are natural predators to penguins.

-'''Guppy''' is a rival character in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. He is an orca who appears in [[Sea Slide Galaxy]] and [[Deep Dark Galaxy]], where during one mission in each galaxy, he "takes over" a large body of water, and if [[Mario]] wishes to take it back, he has to swim through eight numbered rings in a set amount of time. After Mario does that, Guppy rewards him with a [[Power Star]]. If Mario touches Guppy, Mario bounces back on the ground and lose a [[Green Shell|Shell]] if he is holding one, but he does not take damage. Guppy appears in the moat of [[Peach's Castle]] in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] at the end of the game, after the universe had been saved by the [[Luma]]s.
-In at least some international releases of ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Guppy does not directly refer to himself as an orca and parts of his dialogue suggests he thinks of himself as a fish.<ref>[[Nintendo EAD]] (trans.

-The developers for ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' initially envisioned Guppy having a design comparable to the friendly [[Dolphin]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. However, as his role was finalized as an intimidating bully with wild nature, they shifted his design to that of an aggressive character seen in the final game.<ref>Black, Fletcher. Collector's Edition ''Super Mario Galaxy'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 349. Roseville: [[Prima Games]], 2007. ISBN: 978-0-76155-713-5.</ref> There is an illustration of Guppy on his {{wp|model sheet}} with an {{wp|anchovy}} hanging out of his mouth that has air bubbles trailing out the end, a potential allusion to a {{wp|cigar}}. There is no anchovy in Guppy's mouth in the final release.
+If Mario touches Guppy, Mario bounces back on the ground and lose a [[Green Shell|Shell]] if he is holding one, but he won't take damage.
