ThePenguin Suit is a power-up that first appears inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii. This item is primarily found inWorld 3 andWorld 4, and from then on it can be found inRed Toad Houses as well. The Penguin Suit allows players to turn intotheir Penguin form.Mario andBlue Toad have a blue body,Luigi,Yellow Toad, andToadette have a navy blue body, and all have short, colored trousers. It gives players the ability to throwIce Balls at enemies, freezing them (just like theIce Flower); this allows the frozen enemies to be used as platforms. In addition, the Penguin Suit lets players swim more efficiently underwater. The Penguin Suit also grants players the ability to slide on ice and snow indefinitely, on ground temporarily, and on water temporarily without sinking, as well as breaking anyblocks they collide with. Traction on ice is greatly improved as well. It is also able to defeat enemies, but will bounce off a slidingCooligan or aPiranha Plant unhurt. It is introduced along with thePropeller Mushroom as the newest power-ups in the game.
The Penguin Suit reappears inNew Super Mario Bros. U and acts the same way it did inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, though the player can only get it through a Red Toad House inSuperstar Road. Additionally,Penguin Bowling allows use of the Penguin Suit. It can also be used in the Penguin Pack fromBoost Rush Mode. In the expansion pack,New Super Luigi U, the Penguin Suit made more frequent appearances in courses including some outside Superstar Road. InNew Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, the Penguin Suit can appear as a reward fromEnemy Courses.Toadette andNabbit also possess the Penguin Suit's swimming abilities, regardless of the form the former takes.
The Penguin Suit appears inPuzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition, representing the Water elemental orbs.
