Coach is a character introduced in Super Mario Galaxy. He is a big penguin who assists Mario in certain water-based galaxies. Unlike the large, blue-colored penguins from Super Mario 64, both Coach and Penguru have plumage that makes them resemble great penguins. There is another penguin character in Super Mario Galaxy referred to as "Coach" by Yellow Toad, but this character is given a distinct name in the original Japanese script that differentiates the two.
History[edit]

Coach is a non-playable character in Super Mario Galaxy. He can be found in the Loopdeeloop Galaxy, the Beach Bowl Galaxy, and the Loopdeeswoop Galaxy. Coach is the instructor of his own swimming class in the Beach Bowl Galaxy. He appears in all of the missions, though not with any major role. In the Sunken Treasure mission, he tells Mario that his students are being distracted by "sparklies," and sends Mario to collect them. In the second mission, Passing the Swim Test, Coach offers Mario a chance to get a Power Star if he collects a Gold Shell and brings it to him. His role is greatly diminished for the third mission, where he only tells Mario not to break the wall to the undersea cavern. In the purple coin mission, he tells Mario that his class is having free time and wants Mario to play nice.
