The Big Daddy of Blooper-surfing,[1][2] or Big Daddy for short[3] (also known as Big Daddy Blooper-surfer,[4] Blooper-surfing Big Daddy,[5] or simply Bloopy[5]), is a tan-colored Pianta in Super Mario Sunshine, where he is located in Ricco Harbor, though only in two episodes: "Blooper Surfing Safari" and "Red Coins on the Water." The Big Daddy of Blooper-surfing owns Blooper Racers and allows Mario to use them for free. Since talking to the Big Daddy of Blooper-surfing is optional, he has little to no involvement during gameplay.
