The '''Big Penguin''',<ref name=ingame>[[Big Penguin Race]]</ref><ref name=guide>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', page 39</ref> also known as the '''Penguin Champ'''<ref name=guide/> or '''Champion Penguin''',<ref>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', page 128</ref> is a giant [[penguin]] appearing in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. He is a competitor character along with [[Koopa the Quick]], and he is raced only once in the game in [[Cool, Cool Mountain]]. He claims to be the world-champion sledder, and he seems to know [[Mario]] prior to the game's events, calling him "buddy." | |||
The Big Penguin is raced against in the [[Big Penguin Race|third mission]] of Cool, Cool Mountain. He can be found inside the house at the top of the mountain. When Mario drops in through the chimney, the Big Penguin will speak to Mario and challenge him to a race. If Mario accepts, he will have to race down the icy [[slide (Super Mario 64)|slide]] in the mountain and beat the penguin to the finish line. The penguin will give Mario a [[Power Star]] if beaten. However, if Mario takes a shortcut by [[jump]]ing onto another section or if he takes the hidden shortcut, the Big Penguin will accuse him of cheating and disqualify him. If Mario races the Big Penguin again after obtaining all 120 Power Stars (150 in the remake), he is even bigger and can easily knock Mario off the slide. There is no reward for winning the race again except for further praise from the Big Penguin. | |||
An unrelated character also described as a "big penguin"<ref>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', pages 89–91</ref> appears in the course [[Snowman's Land]]. | |||

*In the Japanese version, if the player loses to him, the Big Penguin will make a [[Koopa Troopa]] sound when talking instead of his own sound.<ref>ある東大生実況者しゅん (April 28, 2018). [https://youtu.be/X92Hze3vnmE?t=2009 【実況】スーパーマリオ６４を完全初見でテンションMAXプレイ]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved January 21, 2020.</ref> This was fixed in the other regional versions. | |||
*In the Japanese version, the penguin uses the feminine pronoun 「あたし」 ''atashi'' to refer to himself. | |||
*In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', penguins refer to Stars as gold medals; similarly, in ''Super Mario 64'', when the Big Penguin gives Mario a Star after being beaten, he says that he cannot give Mario a gold medal. | *In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', penguins refer to Stars as gold medals; similarly, in ''Super Mario 64'', when the Big Penguin gives Mario a Star after being beaten, he says that he cannot give Mario a gold medal. | ||
