He has obvious animosity  towards Luigi.  [[Mario]] first meets them in the plaza in [[Rogueport]], where Luigi details their escapades in [[Rumblebump Volcano]]. Although Luigi claims to have successfully thrown Blooey at a monster, killing the golem, the green plumber actually tripped and sent Blooey crashing into lava. Blooey, sporting what would appear to be a golden tan, seems none too pleased with the adventure, however. He apparently got dunked in lava and, now crispy fried, blames Luigi.
Blooey returns near the end of the game, even darker colored than before. He appears to have abandoned his grudge against Luigi, but judging from his laughter over Luigi's tale, and the later revelation in the [[Super Luigi (series)|Super Luigi series]] that Princess Eclair was betrothed to the [[Goomboss#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Chestnut King]] all along, it would seem that he is simply satisfied with Luigi's misfortune.
 
Near the end of the game, Blooey appears to forgive Luigi somewhat, but now appears even darker colored than before.

Species Blooper
First appearance Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (2004)
“YOU'LL PAY, LUIGI!”
Blooey, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Blooey, known to his friends as the "White Torpedo", is a feisty Blooper who joins Luigi on his quest to rescue Princess Eclair in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He is shown to have animosity towards Luigi. Mario first meets them in the plaza in Rogueport, where Luigi details their escapades in Rumblebump Volcano. Although Luigi claims to have successfully thrown Blooey at a monster, killing the golem, he actually tripped and sent Blooey crashing into lava, turning Blooey golden tan.

Blooey returns near the end of the game, even darker colored than before. He appears to have abandoned his grudge against Luigi, but judging from his laughter over Luigi's tale, and the later revelation in the Super Luigi series that Princess Eclair was betrothed to the Chestnut King all along, it would seem that he is simply satisfied with Luigi's misfortune.
