The Coach is the instructor of his own swimming class in the Beach Bowl Galaxy. He appears in all of the missions, though his roles are more or less minimal. In the [[Sunken Treasure]] mission, he tells [[Mario]] that his students are being distracted by "[[Star Chip|sparklies]]," and sends Mario to collect them. In the second mission, [[Passing the Swim Test]], the 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 [[The Secret Undersea Cavern|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.

The Coach is also the instructor of [[ray surfing]] in the [[Loopdeeloop Galaxy]] and [[Loopdeeswoop Galaxy]]. If Mario manages to surf on [[Ray]] to the end of the water course, he is then awarded a Power Star.

The Coach appears in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', in the [[Cosmic Cove Galaxy]]. The only difference in his physical appearance is that the band on his arm is blue, rather than red. In this game, the Coach only appears in two missions, [[Twin Falls Hideaway]] and [[Exploring the Cosmic Cavern]]. In the former, the Coach would tell Mario that he is the swimming coach and that his students are all out in the water swimming; while in the latter, he informs Mario that there is a [[Luma]] trapped in a cage and that everyone is out looking for the key to open it. Once again, his role is minimal in the game.

==Trivia==
*The red crested penguin seen only in [[Faster Than a Speeding Penguin]] is also referred to as "Coach" by the other characters.
*The red crested penguin seen only in [[Faster Than a Speeding Penguin]] is also referred to as "Coach" by [[Yellow Toad (Toad Brigade)|Yellow Toad]]. This is a mistake, however, as he refers to that penguin as their「リーダー」(''rīdā'', leader) in the original Japanese version.
