| '''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. | | '''Guppy''' is a minor character in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. He is an orca who will appear in a few of the game's missions. In two of the missions he'll "take over" a large body of water, and if [[Mario]] wishes to take it back, he'll have to swim through eight rings in a set amount of time. After Mario does that, Guppy will reward him with a [[Power Star]]. |

| 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>{{cite|publisher=[[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>{{cite|author=Black, Fletcher|title=''Super Mario Galaxy: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|format=Collector's Edition|location=Roseville|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|date=November 9, 2007|page=349|isbn=978-0-7615-5713-5}}</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.
| | Guppy is a harmless creature and contrary to his menacing look, he won't ever attack Mario, though is considered a bully by the [[penguin]]s and [[Toad_(species)|Toads]] nevertheless. If Mario touches Guppy, he will bounce back on the ground, but he won't take damage. He appears in the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]] and the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]. After being beaten in Sea Slide Galaxy, he becomes more friendly and actively helps the Toads look for the Silver Stars and Purple Coins during those missions. |

| |description=''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.''
