'''Cooligans''' are blue, [[penguin]]-like creatures sporting a pair of sunglasses that first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of the words "cool" and "hooligan".
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:NSMBW Cooligan Screenshot.png|200px|thumb|right|Mario encounters two Cooligans.]]
These enemies first appear in [[World 3-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3-1]], and later appear in [[World 9-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-5]]. They are seen sliding and can damage [[Mario]] and the others if they run into one of them, although if Mario or anyone else is in the [[Penguin Suit]] and they are sliding too, then they bounce off unhurt. It takes two jumps to defeat one; one jump knocks off a Cooligan's sunglasses first, slowing it down. They also fall down holes rather than hover over them. In this state, if rammed by another Cooligan, it gets defeated.


Cooligans can be defeated instantly by a [[Fire Flower]], [[Super Star|Star]], [[Ice Flower]], [[Penguin Suit]], or [[Ground Pound]]. Cooligans continue to slide even if they are frozen, and as such can be used as platforms.
These enemies first appear in [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3]] and usually appear in ice levels. They are seen sliding and can damage [[Mario]] and the others if they run into one of them, although if Mario or anyone else is in the [[Penguin Suit]] and they are sliding too, then they will bounce off unhurt. It takes two jumps to defeat one. One jump will knock off a Cooligan's shades, slowing it down. They will also fall down holes rather than hovering over them. In this state, if rammed by another Cooligan, they will be defeated. These creatures can be defeated instantly by a [[Fire Flower]], [[Star]], being frozen via [[Ice Flower]], or [[Penguin Suit]], or by [[Ground Pound]]ing them. It should be noted though that Cooligans will continue to slide even if they are frozen, allowing the heroes to use them as platforms to reach [[Star Coin]]s and other objects. They reappear in World 9-5.


The Cooligan's attack pattern is notably similar to another penguin-based enemy, the [[Lemguin]].
==Trivia==
 
*The Cooligan's name is a portmanteau of the words cool and hooligan.
====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
*The Cooligan's attack pattern is notably similar to another penguin-based enemy, the [[Lemguin]].
Cooligans return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', first found in [[Frosted Glacier]], specifically in [[Cooligan Fields]]. They behave in a similar manner as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. They also appear as the Frosted Glacier [[Enemy Course]]. In this game, they can slide on the surface of water, similar to [[Penguin Mario]]. Cooligans can be eaten by [[Baby Yoshi]]s in this game, and also trapped in [[bubble]]s blown by a [[Bubble Baby Yoshi]].
*Through hacking methods, it is shown that [[Yoshi]] can eat a Cooligan. However, he lacks the ability to jump on one.
 
<br clear=all>
Cooligans return in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' in their own level, [[Cooligan Shrooms]], which itself replaces Cooligan Fields.

Snowmobiles that resemble Cooligans make an appearance in [[Mob Sleds]] in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. They are piloted by the three players as they attempt to eliminate the solo player.

===''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''===
[[File:CooliganPMSS.png|thumb|Cooligans seen in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'']]
Cooligans make their ''Paper Mario'' series debut in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', where they appear in the [[Snow Rise]] and [[Ice Flow]] levels of [[World 4 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 4]]. In the former level, they are seen sliding down a snow-covered slope. In the latter level, Cooligans are seen waddling down the ice path before sliding; this is the first instance in which Cooligans are shown walking. Mario can not face Cooligans in battle, but he will lose 2 HP if he crashes into them.
 
Mario can jump on a sliding Cooligan to make it disappear instantly. In the Snow Rise level, once Mario uses the [[Radiator]] sticker, three Cooligans can be seen stuck, showing that they cannot slide without ice, and hop if Mario uses his hammer near them. In the Ice Flow level, sometimes a [[Curling Stone]], [[Rubber Ducky]], or [[Cat-o-Luck]] [[Sticker#Things|Thing]] slide down the ice trail along with the Cooligans.
 
===''Mario Golf: Super Rush''===
Cooligans appear in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'' as obstacles in [[Blustery Basin]]. In Speed Golf, they can be defeated by dashing into or jumping on them since contact will slow players down.
