Penpen are penguin enemies in the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong (Game Boy)[edit]

They inhabit the Iceberg, and two are seen together in Stage 7-3. Penpen behave similarly to previous enemies Aqua Man and Miira, as they slowly walk in a single direction, turning around upon reaching a ledge or margin. Penpen are capable of harming Mario if he comes into contact with their front or back sides, but can be safely ridden from atop their heads. While in this stance, it is possible for Mario to pick up a Penpen and toss it at other enemies.

Super Mario Kodansha manga[edit]

In the Super Mario Kodansha manga, Penpen appear in chapter 2 of Super Mario: Donkey Kong 2. They are seen with the other enemies building the Tower and attacking Mario and friends until Monchee interveens. In chapter 3, a Penpen is seen helping the Kongs fight the Kremling Krew, until DK and Donkey Kong Snr. are knocked out, causing the Kong army to retreat after the defeat of their leaders.

仲なかがいい２匹ひきのペンギン

水山ひょうざんに登場とうじょうする２匹ひきのペンギン。ハネをパタパタさせながら同おなじ方向ほうこうを歩あるいている。横よこから触さわるとミスになるが、上うえには乗のれる。のんびりしてるから倒たおさなくても平気へいきだ。[1]

Two penguins who are good friends

Two penguins in a water mountain. They walk in the same direction while flapping their wings. Touching them from the side makes you miss, but you can get on top of them. They are so relaxed that you don't have to knock them down.
