'''Bumpties'''<ref name=guide>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent and Terry Munson|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|language=en-us|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=[[Media:SMW2 Guide 126.jpg|126]]}}</ref> are a race of [[penguin]]-like creatures that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. They are usually found in icy regions, and are generally seen either patrolling or jumping around on the ground, although they can also be seen flying, despite being inspired by penguins. Bumpties have pear- or egg-shaped bodies. Most Bumpties are light-blue; however, they appear blue in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' and lavender in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', while purple, blue-gray, green, and teal individuals also appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Their name is a corruption of "bumpy", referring to their bouncy, rubbery feathers.

 

===''Yoshi's Island'' series===

Bumpties are usually found wandering around in icy areas of [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]] in their debut game, ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. While [[Yoshi]] can grab Bumpties with his tongue, he cannot eat them. Also, if he runs into one, he is bumped backwards, hence the name. This means that Bumpties cannot hurt Yoshi, though they may bump him into a [[pit|bottomless pit]], costing him a life. Their official artwork depicts them as a more purple shade of indigo.

Bumpties appear also in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' in [[Baby Bowser]]'s levels. Here, they can be defeated simply by blasting them with one of Baby Bowser's fireballs.

In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', Bumpties appear in [[Brave the Bumpty Blizzard]] and [[Fire Watermelon Wonderland]]. They are colored purple, similarly to their original artwork, instead of blue. Unlike previously, Bumpties will not steal Baby Mario if he has been knocked off Yoshi's back.

===''Tetris Attack''===

A certain Bumpty appears only in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version of ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', allied with [[Dr. Freezegood]] in the "Ice World". It replaces the ice fairy, Sharbet, from ''[[nwiki:Panel de Pon|Panel de Pon]]''. Here, it is depicted as Yoshi's friend, but enchanted by [[Bowser]] and [[Kamek]] to work for them. Yoshi and Bumpty become friends again after freeing it and Dr. Freezegood from the spell. It also notes in the game that others say that it is cute, but it really does not like it, and would like to be considered cool.

===''Yoshi's Story''===

Bumpties reappear in [[Frustration|Stage 3-4: Frustration]] in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They still repel Yoshi if run into, but they can be eaten.

Bumpties, referred to simply as '''[[penguin]]s''', return in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. In this game all the penguins are allies, not enemies. At the beginning of the game, a small group of penguins (including [[Mayor Penguin]]) attend a party at [[Peach's Castle]] prior to the arrival of [[Bowser]]. Later, [[Mario]] travels to a city of penguins called [[Shiver City]]. He also meets a famous penguin named [[Herringway]] who is a writer. Additionally, one of the penguins in Shiver City is a participant of the [[Toad Town Dojo|Dojo]] in [[Toad Town#Paper Mario|Toad Town]], having fought his way to a [[Third-Degree Card]].

===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===

Bumpties reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', notably being summoned by [[Burt the Ball]] in the boss fight against him in [[Burt's Bouncy Battle]]. They also appear as basic enemies in [[Chilly-Hot Isles]]. Some use buckets as armor to push Yoshi into the water. Yoshi can hit them with [[Yoshi's Egg|eggs]] to obtain Red Coins. Throwing a Bumpty into the water causes it to drown.
