Whale



A Whale is a large marine mammal mostly found on Earth, but first appeared in the Mario game Super Mario Bros. 2. In level 4-2 of Super Mario Bros. 2, the Whales appeared and the players can hop on their backs and gain elevation by standing on their blow holes as water sprays out. The water will hurt the player if they touch it from the left or right side. These kinds of whales also appear in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ in one microgame. A whale makes a cameo in the Nintendo Monopoly, board game and an individual Whale appeared as a character in Paper Mario.

Appearances in Other Media
A Whale briefly appeared towards the end of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Mario of the Deep". Here, the Whale was rode on by King Neptune, who was using it to body slam his temple, which Barra-Koopa had taken over, along with the rest of Aqua Land. After slamming into the wall several times, the Whale caused a piece of it to shatter away, which Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad were able to pass through. This Whale appeared to be a Blue Whale rather than the variety of Whale from Super Mario Bros. 2.
