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.

Game Appearances
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..

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

In Paper Mario, Bloopers are much bigger and is an optional boss. Mario can fight him to get the Dizzy Stomp. He is found in Toad Town Tunnels after Mario goes straight right in the way of a bridge. Electro Bloopers and Super Bloopers also make their appearance. On another note, each Blooper yells "Bloop!!" after each encounter.

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

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 rideable. 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.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door 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 also the only Blooper 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 has a Blooper partner named Blooey as well.

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.

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.

Trivia

 * A cancelled type of Blooper were supposed to appear in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. These Bloopers were apparently Shroobified Bloopers and would've appeared in the Vim Factory.
