The Penguin King is a minor character and the ruler of the Snow Kingdom in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. He leads his army of penguins into battle when Bowser and his Koopa Troop attack. However, he and his army fail as Bowser and Kamek easily overpower them. The Penguin King and his army are later trapped in cages suspended high above lava in Bowser's Castle, along with Luigi, a Lumalee, some Goombas,[1] and, later on, the Kong army.

The Penguin King is voiced by Khary Payton in the English dub of the film.
