Blooper



Bloopers (also previously known as Bloobers) are squid-like enemies that are also one of the few enemies that are found in the water. There are many kinds of Bloopers, though the standard Blooper in Super Mario Bros. swims toward Mario in a lazy homing pattern. A Blooper will appear playable in Mario Party 8.

Super Mario Bros.
Bloopers are some of the most resistant enemies in Super Mario Bros. They only appear in underwater levels, and will follow Mario relentlessly. They can only be defeated by a Fireball, ironic, sense Bloopers are always fought in the water.

Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels featured a type of Blooper that could fly through the air, as well as swim under water.

Super Mario Bros. 3
Super Mario Bros. 3 featured two new types of Bloopers; Blooper Nannies and Blooper Babies. The original Bloopers also appear in the same attack pattern they had in Super Mario Bros..

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
King Calamari is one of the first big Bloopers appearing in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Regular Bloopers appear as well.

Paper Mario
In Paper Mario, three large Bloopers appear in Toad Town's Sewers. Each one is guarding a Badge], or a similair treasure, and each one is optional.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
Bloopers make an appearance in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga in Oho Ocean Seabed. A new type of robotic Bloopers called Mecha-Blooper appear.

Super Mario Sunshine
Blooper reappear in Super Mario Sunshine. This would be the first game in which the Bloopers are able to stand on dry land and spit out goop. In fact, Bloopers only appear on dry land and are never seen underwater. Jellyfish Blooper make their first and only appearance in this game as well. Bloopers are also ridable. These don't attack Mario and are owned by Big Daddy. Green Bloopers are the slowest but best at steering. Yellow Bloopers have average speed and average steering. Purple Bloopers are the fastest but have terrible steering. They are only found in Ricco Harbor. Another big Blooper called Gooper Blooper also appears as a Boss.

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
In Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door one Blooper appears, and it actually speaks in full, sentences. "Who goes around and smacks each others tootsies like that?". It is encountered as the second mandatory boss in the game. It is weaker than the Blooper in Paper Mario. Unlike all other Bloopers it attacks Mario for a reason. Mario hits one of its tentacles with the Hammer because it is blocking the way to Petal Meadows. Luigi also has a Blooper partner named Blooey.

Mario Kart DS
The Blooper is also used as a weapon in Mario Kart DS, where after launching it all the players who are currently in a higher rank than the player get a large ink blot on their screen, which obstructs the driving view of human opponents and causes CPU characters to swerve around on the track. If used while in first place, it can backfire and ink cause ink to block the driver's screen.

Yoshi's Island DS
Yoshi's Island DS features Bloopers appearing in early World 3 along side Bullet Bill, Pirate Guy, Flopsy Fish, Lunge Fish, and Boss Bass.

Future Appearences
In Mario Party 8 a Blooper is going to appear playable. Not much is known about him thought.

An extremely large Blooper, so huge in fact it dwarfs others such as Gooper Blooper and Super Blooper in comparison, appears in one of the early screenshots of Super Paper Mario, conjecturally named Ultra Blooper.
