Mario rescues Tuxie.

In Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, there are two Baby Penguins found in Cool, Cool Mountain. One is found at the top of the mountain and is given the names Tuxie,[1] Li'l Penguin,[2] and just the Baby Penguin.[3] The name "Tuxie" comes from "tux," the shortened form of "tuxedo," which is a type of formal suit that bears a resemblance to a penguin's feathers. She needs to be reunited with her mother. Mario, Luigi, or Wario picks Tuxie up and carries her down the mountain to her mother, located at its base. For finding her baby, the Mother Penguin awards the player character a Power Star. However, if Tuxie is picked up again after being returned, her mother follows the player character sternly until he drops her. The player is able to drop Tuxie off the mountain without angering the Mother Penguin.

The other Baby Penguin is located on the roof of the cabin next to the Mother Penguin. If the player character delivers this lookalike to the mother, she tells him that it looks nothing like her baby (she says elsewhere that her baby has her beak).

The Baby Penguins' stepping sounds are quite loud and sounds slightly like a car alarm. However, once the player character picks either of the penguins up, they emit a whining cry, which stops only if the player character lets them go or drops them. In Super Mario 64 DS, the incorrect Baby Penguin does not make the crying sound when it is picked up. If Mario performs a dive near either Tuxie or the other baby penguin near the Mother Penguin, they both perform a dive as well.
