The '''Mother Penguin''',<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1996|author=Pelland, Scott and Dan Owsen|title=''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide|page=38 (map)}}</ref><ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/19980610064426/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/super_mario64/4-2.html|language=en-us|title=Course 4 - Star 2: Li'l Penguin Lost|publisher=Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy|accessdate=June 4, 2024}}</ref> also called '''Mama Penguin''',<ref>{{cite|date=February 2005|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 188|page=80|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> is a [[penguin]] who appears on [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. She has lost her daughter, [[Baby Penguin#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Tuxie]], so [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] goes to look for her. Once Tuxie is returned, the Mother Penguin rewards the player character with a [[Power Star]], completing the mission [[Li'l Penguin Lost]].

If the player character brings the Mother Penguin another baby penguin, she does not accept it. She insists that this baby penguin is not her daughter and that they look nothing alike.

If Tuxie is taken back after being delivered to the Mother Penguin, she follows the player character with a cross expression on her face until he drops Tuxie again. However, she does not seem to react in any way if the player character gets far enough away or drops Tuxie off the edge. She will also not follow the player past the edge of the pond she is in.
