Big Blooper (Super Paper Mario)

Big Blooper is a boss who appeared in Super Paper Mario, during Chapter 3-2 (in the Tile Pool). This gigantic Blooper blocks Mario, Bowser, and Peach from moving on to Fort Francis. He has many tentacles of different colors, which serve various purposes: Big Blooper uses the blue tentacles to attack Mario and his allies, while the yellow ones prevent them from moving on. Even Mario's Flip ability proves useless to escape the huge squid. Every now and then, tentacles will rise from the bottom of the screen, attempting to hurt the player. Since blue and yellow tentacles cannot be harmed in any way, Bowser must damage Big Blooper by breathing fire at his red tentacles. That said however, one may also defeat him by using Thudley to Ground Pound on his red tentacle.

Big Blooper survived the battle, however; if a player enters the area where his tentacles come out of the floor and ceiling, they will still continue to do so. If a player returns with Tippi or Tiptron, Big Blooper can be tattled this way.

Trivia

 * Big Blooper's appearance theme is a remix of the Underwater background music from Super Mario Bros. 3.
