Penkoon
From the Super Mario Wiki, the Mario encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
Penkoons are bulky, part-penguin, part-raccoon[1] soldiers that patrol areas in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. When Wario comes too close to them, they'll make the spiked ball in their stomachs pop out. Despite their horned helmets, Wario can jump on them; however, they should not be charged head on because of their stomach-mounted maces.
Trivia
- The name "Penkoon" is a portmanteau of "penguin" and "raccoon", the two species the Penkoons are hybrids of.
- In the Penkoon entry of the Wario Land manual, the word "raccoon" is misspelled as "racoon".[1]
