Bloomps are fish-like enemies resembling balloons in Super Mario Bros. Wonder that can be either green or purple, with purple being faster. [1] Their name is likely a combination of "balloon" and "blimp". They appear prominently in a level with their own name, Bloomps of the Desert Skies. They simply float through the air in one direction and allow for the player to jump off them as platforms, which causes the enemy to lose air and shrink a little bit every time. If a Bloomp is stomped on enough, they will pop. They cannot damage the player and instead pop if touched from below or the side.[2]
Bloomps may also contain Coins that can be obtained by simply jumping on it once, causing its coin to shoot out of its body. Devices resembling cannons and Bill Blasters can be seen inflating purple Bloomps.[1][3]
