APengoon is an enemy inWario Land: Shake It!. Its name is a portmanteau of "penguin" and "goon". It is a penguin that hides in hidden places in icy levels. It can pop out their places to throw pebbles of ice atWario. Pengoons appear in only two levels:Slipshod Slopes andFreezing Fields.

There are also two varieties of Pengoon: blue and pink ones. Blue ones are the most common and spit only one ice chunk when they spotWario. Pink ones, which are less common, spit three ice chunks when they spot Wario.

Profiles and statistics[edit]

  • Website description:
    • English (United States):
      Pengoons like to hang around in the ice and pop out of their super-secret hiding places to throw ice. I wish I had a super-secret hiding place sometimes.[1]

    • Threat:Icon of a red star with a black borderIcon of a red star with a black borderBlack outline of a star
    • Native to the Quiver Cliffs' frigid wastelands, Pengoons make their homes in fluffy snow, popping up to spit iceballs at trespassers and then quickly ducking back into the powder. When you meet one of these coldhearted creeps, break the ice by rattling the stage with an Earthshake Punch. Then do with the stunned goon as you wish![2]
    • CAUTION:Beware of purple Pengoons and Crackpots: They each fire three shots when they attack instead of just one![2]
