Gooper Blooper



Gooper Blooper is a boss in Super Mario Sunshine.

Appearing in courses such as Ricco Harbor, Gooper Blooper is a giant Blooper. He uses his tentacles to smack Mario, draining the plumber's health points. Gooper Blooper can also spew ink all over, and Mario has to wash it off with FLUDD. Once the area is completely clean, Mario can grab his mouth, pull back, and release to harm Gooper Blooper. This must be completed two times to defeat Gooper Blooper. He can also spin his tentacles around like a propeller to damage Mario. Gooper Blooper reappeared in Mario Power Tennis where he was the opponent in the mini-game Gooper Blooper Volley.

Gooper Blooper appeared again in Super Princess Peach as the fifth Boss in the game and is defeated by wacking his tentacles and mouth with Perry. After he lost three health, he used the Calm vibe to fall asleep and regain health. Peach woke him up with the Rage vibe and took out his remaining two health.

In Mario Hoops 3 on 3, Gooper Blooper appears in the court called Pirate Ship. His job is much like the mythical monster, the Kraken, surround the ship in a menacing way and attack all passengers of the boat. Gooper Blooper smacks you with his tentacles if you get too close to the edge.

Trivia

 * Interestingly, in the beta version of Super Mario Sunshine, Gooper Blooper was dark blue in color. Gooper Blooper was later changed to his current coloration for unknown reasons, maybe to make him look more like a Blooper; his strange blue color could've also been generated by technical difficulties.
