Bumpty

Bumpties, named Penguins in the Paper Mario games, are penguin-like creatures found in icy areas. They first appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Bumpties in this game were blue, although they are also colored green and pink in Paper Mario.
== In the Yoshi franchise ==
=== Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island ===
In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Bumpties, being found in icy areas, most notably appear in World 5. Unlike most enemies, a Bumpty does not harm a Yoshi if it touches it but instead bounces him back, hence their name. Bumpties are one of the enemies that a Yoshi cannot swallow and convert into a Yoshi Egg.
=== Tetris Attack ===
In Tetris Attack, a Bumpty assists Dr. Freezegood in the Ice World, and he is the second ally whom Yoshi saves. Bumpty replaces Sharbet from the original Panel de Pon.
=== Yoshi Story ===
In Yoshi's Story, Bumpties act the same as in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, although a difference is that a Yoshi is now able to eat one.
=== Yoshi's Island DS ===
In Yoshi's Island DS Bumpties once again appear in several of the icy levels, behaving similarly as in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Baby Bowser can quickly defeat a Bumpty by spitting out a fireball at it.
=== Yoshi's Crafted World ===
Bumpty is an enemy in this game, first appearance in Chilly-Hot Isles. He also appears in Bert the Ball's boss fight, and one of the objectives is to throw one at Bert's back and make him fall.
== In the Paper Mario series ==
=== Paper Mario ===
Bumpties live in Shiver City, which is where Mario first encounters them. These Bumpties are allies to Mario. He meets a famous writer whose name is Herringway. At Peach's Castle, a small group of Bumpties is seen right before Bowser's arrival.
=== Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door ===
Bumpties are seen living in Poshley Heights. On the Excess Express, Mario meets a 'detective' named Pennington, who resides in the sixth room.
==In Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3==
Bumpties also appeared in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, exclusively in the World-e level Slip Slidin' Away. They act the same as in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, from which their sprites are reused, albeit slightly brightened; their sprites are still slightly darker than in Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3.
