Template:Species-infobox Blooper Babies, also written as Bloober babies, are infant Bloopers. In most of their appearances they are often seen alongside Blooper Nannies, a species of female Bloopers who release multiple Blooper Babies when they glow, afterwards Blooper Babies will follow their mother and help her pursue Mario.

Blooper Babies and Blooper Nanny reappear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii where they behave in the same way as in New Super Mario Bros. In this appearance they appear to lack pupils. They can only be found in World 4-4.

New Super Mario Bros. 2

Blooper Babies reappear 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

Blooper Babies, as well as Blooper Nannies, appear in New Super Mario Bros. U, being featured prominently in the 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.

Super Mario Maker series

Blooper Babies reappear in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS and Super Mario Maker 2 along with Blooper Nannies. Unlike previous games, the Blooper Nannies do not release them at Mario.

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3

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.

Nintendo Adventure Books

In Leaping Lizards, Luigi can spot some Bloober babies if he falls into a body of water, and is pulled under by an Anchor he picked up.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

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

Paper Mario

In Paper Mario, Blooper Babies are released by the Super Blooper. They attack in the same manner as Fuzzies.

Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix

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.

Mario Kart Tour

In Mario Kart Tour, Blooper Babies makes a cameo appearance on the Blooper Hanafuda glider. This glider uses the same Blooper artwork from Mario Hanafuda.

Other appearances

In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack in Minecraft, the original game's Ink Sacs are replaced by a Blooper Baby item.
