Li'l Penguin Lost is the second star in Cool, Cool Mountain. It is obtained by bringing the baby penguin at the top of the mountain to the mother penguin, the latter of which being located at the exit of the mountain's slide. Another baby penguin is located near the mother penguin, but bringing it to the mother will not reward Mario with a star. However, both penguins can still be brought to the mother in any order.
