Fall Guys has seen massive success since launching on PS4 and PC last summer, especially since it was available for free for subscribers of PlayStation Plus. The multiplayer battle royale party game is in the middle of its third season, and it's appropriately winter-themed. Mediatonic is about to release a season 3.5 update very soon and one of the features that it's adding comes straight from Super Mario 64... kind of.
One of Super Mario 64's first stages that players can jump inside of via a picture frame is called Cool Cool Mountain. It's a snowy area with slippery slides, rickety bridges, snowmen, and even an adorable baby penguin. For the second objective in the stage, Mario is tasked with escorting the baby penguin to its worried mother by carrying it and protecting it from harm. However, this baby penguin has been a meme for fans of the old-school platformer as some players find enjoyment in throwing the penguin off the edge of the stage, just for the giggles essentially.
And in the update that's coming to Fall Guys, the developers are adding some penguins named Bert, Bort, and Bart to various sections of the stages. In a short clip posted on the Fall Guys Twitter account, it shows a player taking the penguin and throwing it off the edge of the map, Super Mario 64 style.
Mediatonic isn't afraid to break the fourth wall a bit when it comes to other video game franchises. There have been multiple Fall Guys outfits and skins to come from other gaming properties, such as a Sonic the Hedgehog costume and Doom crossover skins.
Fall Guys is currently available for PC and PS4.
