In the {{wp|Western world|Western}} | Penguins mostly appear in areas with small platforms and many opportunities to fall down a pit. In the Japanese release, penguins carry around beer mugs, and when they notice [[Wario]], penguins try to intoxicate him by splashing alcohol on his face. If the alcohol touches Wario, he will become [[Crazy Wario|dizzy]]. However, there is always a body of water near a penguin that can cure Wario from his status ailments. In {{wp|Western world|Western}} releases, penguins instead carry large black balls with handles (also called "insanity bombs"),<ref name=NP/> likely to censor any reference to alcohol consumption, although a few [[Prima Games]] guides still show a screenshot of a penguin holding a beer mug.<ref>Campbell, Stuart.
