Penguin Suit (New Super Mario Bros. Series)

Penguin Suit is a Power-Up from the Super Mario franchise, alongside the Propeller Suit it was first introduced in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, reappeared in the home console sequel New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U.

Why This Power-Up Rocks:

 * 1) While not the first Mario Power-Up which allows a character to swin faster, Penguin Suit is a huge improvement from the Frog Suit in a lot of ways.
 * 2) It gives actual abilities from a Penguin like not having to worry about the infamous ice psychics.
 * 3) It can make the water levels more tolerable or enjoyable thanks to it giving more speed and better movement.
 * 4) Doing a ground pound (or run and duck) does the famous slide that allows the player to move faster on ice and even on water without sinking.
 * 5) The slide can hit most enemies too, while some of them only give knockback and no actual damage.
 * 6) Despite not being exclusive to this Power-Up, it's nice allowing to throw ice balls to attack enemies too.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It makes the inclusion of Ice Flower somewhat pointless in the series.
 * 2) Hitting Question Blocks underwater with it can be a chore to do, especially when it's just a single one.
 * 3) Just like Propeller Suit, it's only available in New Super Mario Bros. U after finishing the main game, not even the Nintendo Switch port makes them any more acessible.
 * 4) * However, New Super Luigi U offer other means to get them sooner than the base game, including a few levels with the Penguin Suit.

Trivia
Toadette and Nabbit in the Nintendo Switch port of NSMBU + NSLU have some features from the Penguin Suit, like the swinning movement, are less slippery than other characters and resistant to slipping on ice.
