We know what you did. You're supposed to take the baby penguin back to its mother in winter-themed Super Mario 64 level, Cool, Cool Mountain. But some of you dropped the little guy off the edge of the world, and you're all monsters. Monsters.
Fall Guys - the multiplayer party game that was a 2020 quarantine hit - will apparently include a tribute to the Super Mario 64 penguin in its "Season 3.5" update. The update will, amongst other things, add Bert, Bort, and Bart, the "Pegwins" from the Pegwin Pursuit level, into more levels.
Is this a tribute, or is this reckless penguin endangerment, and a good reason to call the RSPCA? Those penguins have mothers, you know.

Thats cool and all, but when is fall guys coming to the switch, I'm more of a portable guy.
My son is also named Bort.
This is adorable and amazing.
Its a fun game in short bursts but gets boring quite quickly, it was a great game to be given away with PS+ as it allowed for a large instal base. I dont know I if I would be happy paying for it on Switch.
That's cute that they added a Nintendo easter egg to a game not on a Nintendo system. Shows how much of a legacy the company's games have left behind
Reminds me of the line in Persona 5 where Futaba talks about being in Super Bash Bros. , or that cringe as hell line about Mario and Princess Beach in Death Stranding
@TheFrenchiestFry off topic but Doom guy needs to be in smash wasnt he on a nintendo console first to?
At least they aren't making the mother watch!
@Snatcher Bethesda seems like the most likely non-Nintendo associated publisher next to Ubisoft to get a character featured in Smash as a fighter.
I'll even take Dohvakiin
@Snatcher DOOM was a PC shareware game first. The first console ports were for the Sega 32X expansion for the Mega Drive/Genesis and then the Atari Jaguar. The SNES port followed them.
@nessisonett Thanks.
@Snatcher as others have said not quite but the SNES version was the first to be widely available to console players (given the limited sales of Jaguar and 32X). Then with Doom 64, the GBA game and DOOM 2016 becoming the poster boy for AAA ports to the Switch, I'd say it has more than enough history with Nintendo, let alone its own place in gaming history to warrant a spot on the roster.
I definitely want Fall Guys on the Switch! They gave us Among Us, that’s the only other indie I want that I can’t access on the Switch.
Give us this game on Switch already, I wanna give it a shot!
They are now trolling us? Not very nice of the developers.
Dropping the penguin off the edge is fun. Right in front of its mother too, and then snag the power Star. One of the first things I did when I got that Super Mario 3D collection.
I love fall guys! Its so fun! I too can't wait for it to come to switch, more people know definitely will play it when that happens. A fun party game to play with friends... Can be challenging as well.
Come along bort , were you talking to me ? No my son is also named bort.
@Snatcher well, to be perfectly fair, the N64 is the only console to ever receive an original, exclusive DOOM game, which is weird to think but awesome at the same time!
Then DOOM 3 also came out on XBox, and the two most recent games were multiplatform out of the gate.
So yeah, you could say that, out of the 3, Ninty is actually the closest platform holder to the DOOM series, at least until it becomes exclusive to XBox.
In any case, I'm a huge DOOM fan so the Slayer is obviously my first pick, but even before falling in love with it I always thought he's basically the biggest legend in gaming that's not in Smash.
I reeeeeeaaaallllly hope it happens lol 😆
@TheFrenchiestFry at this point I'm expecting Doomguy or some Mortal Kombat character, with additions such as Steve, anything is now possible.
@TheFrenchiestFry if doomguy gets in smash there needs to be a easter egg with isabell.
Oh I thought this game was dead, so thats cool to see. Been wanting to play this so hopefully this gets ported to switch
@Arkay Mortal Kombat is physically impossible considering the series has been banned in Japan since MKX. It's never going to happen until that ban lifts
Confusing how DOOM got a pass though
@Noid The store by my house is always out of novelty "Bort" license plates.
Its a dead game lol. Probably will spring to life for a month or 2 when it releases on xbox and switch. It coming to PS+ with around 40m users subscribed really helped a lot.
Bonus points must be awarded for using a screenshot of Mario 64 where the concerned penguin eyelid fix has been applied.
@Sakaixx I played it for the first time about a week ago and it was full of players, took seconds to get a game in the hour or so I was playing for. So it's not dead by any means.
@TheFrenchiestFry wow, never knew it was banned in Japan! Forget I even mentioned it.
@TheLightSpirit It's a fun time overall, but I'm not a big fan of the clutzy feeling of the characters. I get that's the charm of being big clumsy jelly beans but I like to feel in control of my video game characters.
Handheld fall guys would be cool...
I want this game to come to the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One this year (2021)
