Bumpty





Bumpty are a race of penguin-like creatures that first appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Bumptys were usually found in icy areas simply wandering around. Yoshi couldn't swallow Bumptys 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 and they would be defeated if Yoshi stomped them.

Bumptys also appeared in Yoshi's Island on several stages.

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

Bumptys 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.

It seems Bumptys 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.

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.
