'''Blooper Babies''', alternatively '''Bloober babies''' or '''Baby Bloopers''',<ref>"''The most miniscule meanies that you'll come across in any Super Mario adventure are Super Mario Bros. 3's Micro Goombas, Baby Bloopers and Baby Cheeps, measuring only eight pixels by eight pixels.''" - Nintendo ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide. Page 156.</ref> are infant [[Blooper]]s. In most of their appearances they are often seen alongside [[Blooper Nanny|Blooper Nannies]], a species of Blooper who releases multiple Blooper Babies when it glows, afterwards Blooper Babies will follow their parent and help it pursue [[Mario]].

====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====

They first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and reappear in its enhanced port ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where they are children of [[Blooper Nanny|Bloobers with kids]] and swim in a straight line when released by [[Blooper Nanny|Scattering Bloober]]s.

Blooper Babies reappear in [[World 3-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3-5]] of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' along with Blooper Nannies. They behave the same way as in preceding titles.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====

Blooper Babies, as well as Blooper Nannies, appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. It is one of the rarest enemies in the game, only appearing in the secret level [[Blooper's Secret Lair]]. They behave the same as in past games. As Blooper Nannies do not appear in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', Blooper Babies are absent as well.

Bloober babies make a few rare appearances on ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where they appear alongside their parents. In "[[Oh, Brother!]]", a Bloober with kids is seen in [[Pipe Land]], just like in the game. In "[[Recycled Koopa]]", a [[Koopa Zombie]] releases Bloober babies from a ketchup bottle after squeezing it.

Blooper babies appear again alongside a Blooper with kids in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Touching one of them starts a battle with a normal Blooper.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Blooper Babies are released in pairs by the [[Super Blooper (boss)|Super Blooper]]. They attack in the same manner as [[Jungle Fuzzy|Jungle Fuzzies]] and [[Swoopula]]s, draining health from Mario up to five times until an [[Action Command]] bar is filled. However, if Mario is [[electrified]], they will not be able to latch on to him and will take damage whenever they try.

In ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'', Blooper Babies, referred to as '''mini-Bloopers''', appear during the [[Big Blooper]] Battle of World 2-4. They can be stepped on if timed with the beat, but if missed, ink will spill to the bottom on the screen, hindering visibility of arrows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Blooper Baby graphics exist [[List of Super Paper Mario pre-release and unused content|unused]]. Both it and the normal Blooper are labeled as test enemies.
