The Penguin Racers are members of a competitive swim team in Super Mario Galaxy. There are five Penguin Rivers, only one of which is blue like the other small penguins in the game. They live in the Sea Slide Galaxy. Each Penguin Racer wears a swim cap and goggles that rest above their eyes. The leader, referred to as "Coach" by yellow Toad, is a red penguin with yellow, feathery brows, making him look similar to a rockhopper penguin. This character is not to be confused with the big penguin in the same game also called Coach. Unlike him, this red penguin is referred to as リーダー (rīdā, "leader") in the original Japanese release.
During the mission "Going after Guppy", the eponymous whale monopolizes the waters of the Sea Slide Galaxy, preventing the Penguin Racers from swimming. In the subsequent "Faster Than a Speeding Penguin", Mario (or Luigi) races these penguins. The fastest penguin is the red Coach, followed by the green penguin, the purple penguin, and the blue penguin. Mario must hold onto a Red Shell and utilize underwater rings to beat them. Upon being outswam, Coach affectionately refers to Mario as "champ" and awards him a Power Star. The Penguin Racers subsequently appear in "The Silver Stars of Sea Slide", helping Mario look for Silver Stars. Coach reappears in the Grand Finale Galaxy during "The Star Festival", near the lake with Penguru and other penguins. Outside of the mission that actively involves a race, there is a second red penguin that can be found in Sea Slide Galaxy that lacks the yellow brows.
The Penguin Racers are the first of conceptually similar teams that appear in subsequent Super Mario games. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, a group of multicolored Jibberjays periodically challenge Mario to a race. In Super Mario Odyssey, the Roving Racers and Shiverian Racers serve a similar role.
The internal file name for the Penguin Racers is shared with the Big Penguin from Super Mario 64.
