Bumpty





Bumpty are a race of penguin-like creatures that first appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Bumpties were usually found in icy areas simply wandering around. Yoshi couldn't swallow Bumpties and if he ran into one he would be repelled backwards.

They reappeared in Stage 3-4: Frustration in Yoshi's Story.They would still repell Yoshi if he ran into them, but they could be eaten.

Bumpties returned in Paper Mario. In this game, Mario travels to a city of Bumpties called Shiver City. He also meets a famous writer named Herringway who is a Bumpty.

Bumpties also made a small appearance in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door where they live in Poshley Heights, a town of the rich and famous. Mario also meets an incompetent detective Bumpty named Pennington.

They also appear in Yoshi's Island DS in Baby Bowser's levels. Here they can be defeated simply by blasting them with one of Baby Bowser's fireballs.

It seems Bumptiess can come in a few different colors as in Paper Mario a Penguin Patrol Bumpty was green and the Mayor of Shiver City's wife was pink.
