'''Blooper Racers'''<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 18.</ref> are a variety of [[Blooper]] that appears only in [[Ricco Harbor]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. In this game, [[Mario]] must ride on one through an obstacle course run by the [[Big Daddy of Blooper-surfing]], and in the harbor itself to get [[Red Coin]]s. Every episode that Blooper Racers appear in is timed. They come in three colors, each affecting their abilities:
*<font color=green>Green Blooper</font color><ref name=Brady/><ref name=Prima/><ref name=Versus/> &ndash; This Blooper is slow and has a tight turning radius. It also travels across land faster than other colors.
*<font color=gold>Yellow Blooper</font color><ref name=Prima/> &ndash; This Blooper has average speed and an average turning radius.

In [[Ricco Harbor#Episode 2: Blooper Surfing Safari|Episode 2]] of Ricco Harbor, Mario must complete an obstacle course in 45 seconds or less while riding on the Blooper of his choice. Bumping into an obstacle costs Mario a life. In [[Ricco Harbor#Episode 6: Red Coins on the Water|Episode 6]], Mario must ride on a Blooper to get Red Coins scattered over the water in 2 minutes or less. In [[Ricco Harbor#Episode 10: Blooper Surfing Sequel|Episode 10]], Mario must repeat Episode 2, though in 40 seconds instead of 45. Every episode that Surfing Bloopers appear in is timed.
If the Control Stick is held down in any direction, all Blooper Racer colors move at the same high speed, though they keep their unique turning radii,<ref>AverageTreyVG (August 25, 2023).

In [[Blooper Surfing Safari|Episode 2]] of Ricco Harbor, Mario must complete an obstacle course in 45 seconds or less while riding on the Blooper Racer of his choice. In [[Red Coins on the Water|Episode 6]], Mario must ride on a Blooper Racer to get Red Coins scattered over the [[water]] in two minutes or less. It is possible, albeit very difficult, to complete the episode without a Blooper Racer.<ref>H the Second (November 1, 2020).

Retrieved April 6, 2021.</ref> In [[Blooper-Surfing Sequel|Episode 10]], Mario must repeat Episode 2 but with only 40 seconds to complete it rather than 45. Bumping into an obstacle at top speed or running out of time in Episode 6 costs Mario a life.
 
Mario can dismount a Blooper Racer by running into a Swim Ring [[Pianta]], or by landing on the [[nozzle box|Rocket Nozzle box]] or the umbrella near the Blooper Racers.<ref>Gaming Reinvented (September 21, 2020).
