Penguru appears in the [[Drip Drop Galaxy]], the [[Bigmouth Galaxy]], the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]] and the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]] in this game. In the Drip Drop Galaxy, Penguru and several other penguins (of whom he is apparently the grandfather) appear on an island. They are distressed about the outbreak of [[Gringill]]s (referred to as "Giant Eels" in the level name). He requests that Mario get rid of them and awards him with a [[Power Star]] when he does. Penguru's home is in the Sea Slide Galaxy on an egg-shaped island known as "Penguru's Place". He is the keeper of one of the five [[Silver Star]]s that [[Mario]] has to collect in the Sea Slide Galaxy as well.
