Penguins

The penguins (ペンギン) are performers who work with a Monkey in the Rhythm Game Showtime from Rhythm Tengoku.

Physical Appearance
The first penguin is a short, gray penguin with a yellow beak. It has pink cheeks, black eyes, and a short tail.

The second penguin, looks identical to the previous one, except that it’s white instead of gray. They have the same pink cheeks, black eyes, short tail, and yellow beak. It’s the fastest of the bunch.

The third and final penguin is much bigger than the other penguins. It has bigger eyes, a bigger beak, and a black body. Their belly is yellow and they have a slightly longer tail. Unlike the white penguin, this one is the slowest of the penguins.

Backstory
The penguins used to have conflicts with the monkey at one point, not liking how the monkey is the one bossing them around. While one of those penguins was going to the bathroom one night, they heard a banging sound, which turned out to be the monkey training for the show. The next day, the penguins turned their heated emotions into an act. At the penguin's opening night, their tickets are completely sold out. The practice before the game is their last rehearsal before the big show.

A White penguin sometimes appears in the photos in Freeze Frame in Remix 3.

Purpose
The penguins help the player learn about swing beats, especially the white one, and tests their patience.

Grey penguins wait for three beats before grabbing the ball.

Black penguins wait for five beats before grabbing the ball.

Finally, the white penguins wait for three beats before grabbing the ball, although they have a very swing-like rhythm.
