'''Pennington''' (or, as he prefers to be called, '''The Penguin With the Improbably Large Brain''') is a [[Bumpty|penguin]] detective from [[Poshley Heights]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. [[Mario]] first meets Pennington on the [[Excess Express]], where he takes Mario (whom he mistakenly refers to as [[Luigi]]) under his wing. Pennington and Mario must solve the many mysteries that occur on the train. Of course, Mario solves all the mysteries with no help from Pennington, who often takes the credit for solving them and treats Mario as an apprentice. Appearing on the Express, he assumes a role in Chapter 6 which parallels that of {{wp|Hercule Poirot}}, a famous Belgian detective and main character from the English novel ''{{wp|Murder on the Orient Express}}''. His mannerisms, however, are more reflective of {{wp|Sherlock Holmes}}. His catchphrase, "Rudimentary," is a nod to Holmes's "Elementary." Pennington is likely an amalgamation of the two. | |||
He is similar to the [[penguin patrol]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]''. | |||

When everybody is cheering Mario on when he is fighting the [[Shadow Queen]], [[Goldbob]], his family, and [[Toodles]] are shown cheering him on, and they call him both "Gonzales" (Mario's [[Glitz Pit]] pseudonym that some of them knew him exclusively by) and his actual name, which causes Pennington to be surprised and ask if it is Mario or Gonzales, and if it is not Luigi. When he cheers Mario on, he says, "Go Luigi...err...Mario?". Even after Mario beats the Shadow Queen and returns to Poshley Sanctum, he first calls Mario "Luigi" again but quickly corrects himself. {{br}} | When everybody is cheering Mario on when he is fighting the [[Shadow Queen]], [[Goldbob]], his family, and [[Toodles]] are shown cheering him on, and they call him both "Gonzales" (Mario's [[Glitz Pit]] pseudonym that some of them knew him exclusively by) and his actual name, which causes Pennington to be surprised and ask if it is Mario or Gonzales, and if it is not Luigi.
