Description

Big Penguin is a penguin of gigantic proportions who appears as a boss in the first stage. Its spinning shield and means of attack mimic and parody the NES-exclusive boss Tutankhamon from Life Force.

Attack patterns

Big Penguin will create a shield comprised of smaller Round Penguins to protect him; these fire bullets at the player at increasing speed. He will also throw a neverending supply of wine bottles as projectiles. His weak point is his belly button.
