The Big Penguin is raced in the [[Cool, Cool Mountain#Star 3: 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, he will speak to Mario and challenge him to a race.

If he is beaten, he will say that he decided not to slide for a while and let himself go.
