Character Sheet: Penguin

PENGUIN

Today, let's cover the penguins that inhabit the Mario world. Having been a constant presence since Super Mario 64, where they raced Mario on the ice and missed their babies (most of which were thrown from the mountain by pretty much every player ever), the penguins never had quite enough to claim playership, but now with the launch of The Super Mario Bros. movie, where an army of them attack with snowballs and catapults, we can welcome them in.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Snowball

The penguin will throw a barrage of snowballs forward. They will do minimal damage.

Side B: Slide

The penguin will leap forward onto its belly and slide across the stage, barreling into the nearest fighter.

Up B: Sliding Jump

The penguin will slide onto its belly again, but this time up a small ramp that will launch it high into the air, based on its Galaxy appearances.

Down B: Catapult

It will roll a catapult forward a few spaces before it launched a big lump of snow, burying anyone hit by it.

Final Smash: Slip Slidin' Away

The penguin will slide forward and strike an opponent, dropping them onto the slide from Mario 64 just as the penguin from that comes barreling down it.

Entrance: The penguin will be sitting in a pool and crying loudly.

Taunts: Up, the penguin will wave at the camera. Side, "That is but a taste of our fury! Do you yield?". Down, the penguin will walk around in a circle doing its little clucks.

Kirby Hat: The top of its head

Kart: A big one based on the sliding penguin from Mario 64.

Special Move: The road directly in front of them will become covered in ice, allowing them to slide much more quickly.

Spirit Battle: Two large and one small on Shivering Snow Land.

Victory Screen: It will stand proudly as the victory fanfare from Mario 64 plays.

Losing Screen: Their opponent will toss them off the side of a mountain.

Color Swaps: The standard version, a Mario 64 version, a version based on Tucks, Mario in the Penguin Suit, a red version, yellow version, the big one from Mario Galaxy, and King Penguin.
