Bubblainian
- “The sea water here is fizzy as a soda. Ah, it's so refreshing!”
- —Female Bubblainian, Super Mario Odyssey
Bubblainians[1] are snail creatures found in the region of Bubblaine within the Seaside Kingdom of Super Mario Odyssey. They wear red French-style berets, which, combined with their species, seems to be a reference to French dishes such as escargot which use snails as a main ingredient. This, combined with the name of the local boss, Mollusque-Lanceur, gives Bubblaine a subtle French theme. The males have moustaches, brown shell necklaces, brown bodies, and white shells, and the females have eyelashes, pearl necklaces, pink bodies, and light tan shells. Bubblainians retreat into their shells when Mario approaches while capturing an enemy, and yell for him to go away.[2]
At the game's finale, in the Moon Kingdom, a few Bubblainians can be found in attendance of the wedding between Bowser and Princess Peach. Like other attending members, they were brought forcefully. After beating the game, they can be found at the entrance of the Moon Kingdom near the Odyssey, and in the start of Darker Side.
