Penguru lives on an egg-shaped island (similar to a [[Yoshi Egg]]) that is suspended in the center of the water 'ring' that is the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]]. The top half is covered with sand , and patches of grass, whilst the bottom half is covered with shallow water. Penguru stands at the top of the island, which is flat, and covered in grass. The only way to reach the island is through a jet of water, that comes from a platform on the sea slide, after a valve has been spun down.
