[[File:Tuxie.png|thumb|left|[[Mario]] rescues baby Tuxie.]]
==History==
'''Tuxie'''<ref>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', page 38</ref> is a blue baby [[penguin]] that is lost on top of [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. She needs to be reunited with her [[Mother Penguin|mother]]. [[Mario]] picks Tuxie up and carries her down the mountain to her mother, located at its base. For finding her baby, the mother penguin awards Mario with a [[Power Star]]. However, if Tuxie is picked up again after being returned, her mother will follow Mario sternly until he drops her. The name comes from "tux", the shortened form of ''[[wikipedia:Tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo]]'', which is a type of formal suit that bears a resemblance to a penguin's feathers. Tuxie is not actually referred to by name in the game and can easily be confused with another baby penguin who is also located on Cool, Cool Mountain. This latter penguin is located on the roof of the cabin next to Tuxie's mother. If Mario delivers this lookalike to the mother, she tells him that it looks nothing like her child (she says elsewhere that her child has her beak).

She needs to be reunited with the [[Mother Penguin]]. [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] must pick Tuxie up and carry her down the mountain to the Mother Penguin, located at its base. Since [[Yoshi]] cannot pick up anything with his hands, he cannot do this objective, and eating Tuxie simply makes her ask him not to do so and tell him she is not tasty, after which he spits her out. For finding Tuxie, the Mother Penguin awards the player character a [[Power Star]]. However, if Tuxie is picked up again after being returned, the Mother Penguin follows the player character sternly until he drops her. The player is able to drop Tuxie off the mountain without angering the Mother Penguin.


Tuxie's chirp is quite loud and sounds slightly like a car alarm. If Mario is to run and dive near Tuxie, she will perform a dive as well, making a different chirp sound. However, once Mario picks her up she stops chirping and instead emits a whining cry, which will stop only if Mario lets her go or drops her. The player is able to drop Tuxie off the mountain without angering the mother penguin. But if Tuxie is dropped off the mountain and brought back to the mother, she will be mad, even though Tuxie had been saved from danger twice. If the player falls off while carrying Tuxie, she'll automatically come back up.
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 Penguin, she tells him that it looks nothing like her baby (she says elsewhere that her baby has her beak).

The Baby Penguins make a chirping sound as they walk, which can be heard from a short distance away. However, once the player character picks either of the penguins up, it emits a whining cry that sounds slightly like a car alarm, which stops only if the player character lets the penguin go or drops it. 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, the Baby Penguin performs a dive as well.

Tuxie, upon being eaten by Yoshi, Super Mario 64 DS

Baby Penguins (or baby penguins) are infant penguins who often appear alongside their adult counterparts. In comparison to them, the bodies of Baby Penguins are more stout.

History[edit]

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

Mario holding Tuxie in Super Mario 64

In Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, there are two Baby Penguins found on 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 plumage. She needs to be reunited with the Mother Penguin. Mario, Luigi, or Wario must pick Tuxie up and carry her down the mountain to the Mother Penguin, located at its base. Since Yoshi cannot pick up anything with his hands, he cannot do this objective, and eating Tuxie simply makes her ask him not to do so and tell him she is not tasty, after which he spits her out. For finding Tuxie, the Mother Penguin awards the player character a Power Star. However, if Tuxie is picked up again after being returned, the Mother Penguin 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 Penguin, she tells him that it looks nothing like her baby (she says elsewhere that her baby has her beak).

The Baby Penguins make a chirping sound as they walk, which can be heard from a short distance away. However, once the player character picks either of the penguins up, it emits a whining cry that sounds slightly like a car alarm, which stops only if the player character lets the penguin go or drops it. 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, the Baby Penguin performs a dive as well.

Mario Kart series[edit]

In the Mario Kart series, Baby Penguins appear around Sherbet Land in Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart Wii. In both appearances, Baby Penguins push away and spin any racer that bumps into them. They move across the track from side to side and attack by lying on their bellies and sliding.
