"''Wario battles penguins with insanity bombs, little fire-breathing dragons and plenty of obstacles in the woods. Luckily, it’s a short trip and you’ll soon be aboard the S.S.

They look like bipedal penguins with menacing beaks and bandanas tied around their heads. | ||
In {{wp|Western world|Western}} releases, penguins carry large black balls with handles (also called "insanity bombs"),<ref name=NP/> which they throw at [[Wario]] if he gets in their range; in the Japanese release, penguins hold on to beer mugs, and they instead try to splash alcohol on him. Despite the regional difference, a few [[Prima Games]] guides published after the [[Game Boy Color]] release still show a screenshot of a penguin holding a beer mug.<ref>Campbell, Stuart. ''Game Boy Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 11.</ref><ref>Brady, Matthew K., Nathan Beittenmiller, Debra McBride, and David Cassady. ''Game Boy Game Secrets, 2001 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 87.</ref> In either case, if the projectile hits Wario, he will become [[Crazy Wario|dizzy]], making it harder for the player to control him. As penguins mostly appear in areas with small platforms and many opportunities to fall down a pit, there is also always a body of [[water]] near them that can be used to cure the status ailment they evoke. | |||
