==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
Goop is a major hazard in ''Super Mario Sunshine''. It is spread across [[Isle Delfino]] by [[Bowser Jr.]] in the guise of [[Shadow Mario]] using his [[Magic Paintbrush]]. It is first encountered in the opening cutscene taking place on the [[Delfino Airstrip]], where a pink, orange, yellow, and white color variant has been painted over the main airstrip, forcing the [[Toad Express]] to curve and skid to a halt as it lands. After dismounting the plane, the yellow [[Toad (species)|Toad]] in [[Princess Peach]]'s entourage notes that the goop is moving on its own. Mario subsequently obtains FLUDD on the airstrip and uses it to clean up the goop and defeat a [[Proto Piranha|Gatekeeper]], a type of large, goop-based [[Piranha Plant]] dwelling in the middle of the goop, restoring the airstrip to its normal state. Mario is arrested by the [[Isle Delfino Police]] shortly afterward and accused by the [[Pianta prosecutor]] of painting the goop all over Isle Delfino. The [[Pianta judge]] then sentences him to clean up all of the island's goop and graffiti.


==Types of goop==
===Regular goop===

[[File:Black Goop.png|thumb|left|Black goop in [[Ricco Harbor]]]]
Goop appears in three different colors depending on the area and scenario it is encountered in:
The most common variant of goop is a tar-like substance used to slicken the ground and cause Mario to lose traction. If Mario stands on goop for too long, he sustains damage every few seconds (the amount of damage sustained depends on the type of goop). It also dirties and sticks to his clothes, which can be cleaned by [[Spin Jump|spin-jump]]ing or [[swim]]ming in clean [[water]]. This variety is found almost everywhere. Some enemies release it, while others are infused with it. It is found in many colors, and it is easily confusable with burning goop and electric goop. Generators are sometimes paired with common goop. According to a certain [[Pianta]] in [[Delfino Plaza]] who is trapped in it during Mario's first visit to Delfino Plaza, it tastes "sweet," and he likens it to "candy."
*Pink, yellow, orange, and white goop appears on the Delfino Airstrip during [[Delfino Airstrip Dilemma]] as well as in [[Mission|Episode]] 1 of [[Noki Bay]] ([[Uncork the Waterfall]]).
{{br|left}}
*Brown-and-white goop appears in Delfino Plaza's Polluted Piranha Battle and Shadow Mario Chase events, as well as Episodes 1, 2, 3, and 5 of [[Bianco Hills]]. [[Petey Piranha]] launches this color of goop from his mouth, and ordinary Piranha Plants require it in order to appear and attack Mario, as well as being covered in it. [[Piranhabon]]s are similarly covered in it, and [[Plurp|Coo Coo]]s generate it in Bianco Hills.
 
*Black goop appears in Delfino Plaza's Boathouse Blues and Cleaning Lighthouse events, as well as Episodes 1–5 of [[Ricco Harbor]] and Episode 2 of Noki Bay ([[The Boss of Tricky Ruins]]). It is spat out by [[Gooper Blooper]] and ordinary [[Blooper]]s as a projectile, resembling ink in this way.
There are three different subtypes of regular goop:
*Goop that is pink, yellow, orange, and white, which appears in the [[Delfino Airstrip]] and [[Noki Bay]]. Unlike with the other colors of regular goop, Swoopin' Stus do not appear out of this type in the Delfino Airstrip, but they do appear out of it in Noki Bay.
*Brown-and-white goop, which appears in Delfino Plaza and [[Bianco Hills]]. [[Petey Piranha]] launches this type of goop from his mouth, and [[Piranha Plant]]s require it in order to appear and attack Mario, as well as being covered in it.
*Black goop, which appears in Delfino Plaza, [[Ricco Harbor]], and Noki Bay. It is spat out by [[Gooper Blooper]] and ordinary [[Blooper]]s as a projectile, resembling ink in this way.
 
During [[Uncork the Waterfall|Episode 1]] of Noki Bay, a variant of this type of goop appears on the walls of a tall cliff face near the starting point of the [[level]]. These goop blotches are shaped like various things relating to the sea, including a squid, a sailboat, a [[dolphin]], a [[whale]], an octopus, and a [[Bird (Super Mario Sunshine)|bird]]. This goop can be cleaned off by Mario, but it cannot hurt him. As Mario cleans the blotches off, rock formations of varying sizes appear out of the cliff face, and he can then use them to climb upward. Cleaning off all of this goop helps Mario reach the cork plugging the waterfall, where he has to defeat a [[Monty Mole]] in order to finish the episode.
 
There is also black goop on the wall near the crates where Gooper Blooper is fought for the first time in Ricco Harbor. It cannot be washed off, but it does not hurt Mario. The goop leaks out of the crates Gooper Blooper is in and runs down the wall into the water, making it a type of [[#Slimy water|slimy water]].
 
Along with electric goop and burning goop, regular goop can trap Piantas, [[Noki]]s, and [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s (including [[Toadsworth]]) if they are standing on it, causing them to sink into it. They are freed after the goop around them is cleaned up and can subsequently be sprayed clean, causing them to celebrate and thank Mario if spoken to. Certain Piantas and Nokis may reward Mario with a [[coin]], [[Blue Coin]], or [[1-Up Mushroom]] when spoken to after being rescued this way. Piantas that are dirty with goop but not trapped in it also appear in Bianco Hills, and they reward Mario similarly if cleaned and spoken to.
 
Terrain features and structures, including trees; rock formations in Noki Bay; a section of the Delfino Airstrip; Delfino Plaza's [[Grand Pianta Statue]], [[boathouse]], and lighthouse; the hill leading up to the [[Big Windmill]] in Bianco Hills; and [[Sirena Beach]]'s [[Hotel Delfino]], can sink into regular goop and electric goop as well. Noki Bay's rock formations and trees sunk this way can be released by cleaning up the goop around them, and certain trees may be revealed this way by spraying patches of ground in [[Gelato Beach]] as well, which does not contain any regular goop or electric goop. Other structures sunk this way can typically be released by defeating a Gatekeeper residing on top of the sunken structure, though in Hotel Delfino's case, the [[Phantamanta|Manta]] must be defeated instead. In all cases, objects trapped in goop display a faint bubbling animation when released, with an earthquake occurring as they emerge.
 
===Graffiti===

}}
Graffiti is the main type of goop that Shadow Mario uses throughout the game. It is usually painted on walls, though it also appears on other flat surfaces. The Magic Paintbrush has a seemingly endless supply of it, and it can be used to create other types of goop. For example, Shadow Mario is seen painting [[#Rainbow M|Rainbow M]]s with the Magic Paintbrush, which is tipped with graffiti. There is also a "raw" form that Shadow Mario uses to paint his infamous "M" signature, known as M Graffiti,<ref name=Versus>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 9.</ref> which also appears as a logo at the beginning of the game. Along with Shadow Mario's signature, there are also painted symbols that come in pairs, known as Paired Graffiti.<ref name=Versus/> The symbols that appear are "×" (X Graffiti),<ref>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 12.</ref> "○" (O Graffiti),<ref>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 31.</ref> and "△" (Triangle Graffiti).<ref>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 54.</ref> Graffiti is most often colored red, though green graffiti appears in Ricco Harbor, and black graffiti was used to deface the [[Shine Gate]]'s effigy as well as the bells inside Delfino Plaza's two belltowers. When graffiti is sprayed long enough, it is completely cleaned off the wall. After it is cleaned off, a Blue Coin is released for Mario to collect (with the only two exceptions being the two graffiti "M" symbols on the sides of the water tanks at the Delfino Airstrip, which release only regular coins). In the case of paired symbols, when one symbol is cleaned off, the Blue Coin appears next to its matching symbol, and vice versa. If Mario does not collect the Blue Coin in time, it disappears, and the graffiti he cleaned off reappears. He must then backtrack and clean it off a second time to make the Blue Coin appear once again. Mario earns a [[Shine Sprite]] for cleaning the graffiti off the Shine Gate's effigy and each of the two bells.


===Rainbow M===
Additionally, there are also two special varieties of goop with unique properties: [[burning goop]] and [[electric goop]].
{{main|Level Gate}}
[[File:SMSunshine RainbowGoop.png|thumb|A Rainbow M, painted by Shadow Mario]]
A Rainbow M<ref>Averill, Alan, and Jennifer Villarreal. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Player's Guide. Page 12.</ref> or "M" Teleport<ref name=Prima>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 12.</ref> is a multicolored [[#Graffiti|M Graffiti]] used to teleport Mario or Shadow Mario to other parts of [[Isle Delfino]], serving as a subset of the Level Gate. There are three of them, all of which are found only in Delfino Plaza. The first was painted by Shadow Mario to escape Mario after he foiled the former's first attempt to kidnap [[Princess Peach]] in Delfino Plaza. This one was painted on the base of the Grand Pianta Statue, and it leads to Bianco Hills. Two more Rainbow Ms can be found on the side of the boathouse (leading to Ricco Harbor) and on the front of the lighthouse (leading to Gelato Beach). These Rainbow Ms appear only after the Gatekeepers covering the buildings have been defeated. Mario simply has to squirt water on a Rainbow M to activate it (after which it becomes a portal to its corresponding location) and then [[jump]] into it. The goop that comprises the Rainbow Ms is also found inside two red [[Warp Pipe]]s: one on top of a building located behind the Grand Pianta Statue (where it is plugged up by a large [[pineapple]] at the start of the game), and one on top of the Shine Gate. These Warp Pipes provide access to Sirena Beach and [[Pianta Village]], respectively. [[Pinna Park]] and Noki Bay are the only levels that are not accessed via Rainbow Ms. When Mario uses one of the three Rainbow Ms, he is fragmented into multiple particles before entering, after which he is reassembled at the start of the level (similar to what happens when [[Luigi]] is transported through the [[Pixelator]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' or a playable character uses [[Candy (Mario Party 8)|Candy]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'').


===Orange Juice Generator===
Ordinary goop is a tar-like substance that slickens the ground and causes Mario to lose traction. If Mario stands on goop for too long, he sustains damage every few seconds. It also dirties and sticks to his clothes, which can be cleaned by [[Spin Jump|spin-jump]]ing or [[swim]]ming in clean water. Goop is found in several different colors depending on the area in which it is encountered. According to a certain [[Pianta]] in [[Delfino Plaza]] who is trapped in it during Mario's first visit, it tastes "sweet," and he likens it to "candy."
[[File:SMS Yellow Goop.png|frame|An Orange Juice Generator blocking a Warp Pipe]]
Orange Juice Generators,<ref>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 7.</ref><ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 11.</ref> also called Juice Generators<ref>Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGAMES Official Strategy Guide. Page 14.</ref> or OJ Generators,<ref>Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGAMES Official Strategy Guide. Page 159.</ref> are wavy force fields that block access to [[List of items|items]], prevent Warp Pipes from being entered, and damage Mario on contact. These shields can be dissolved only by [[juice]] spat from a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. They have a zigzag shape (also appearing to have an "M") and undulate when Mario approaches them. There are only six Orange Juice Generators in the game.


Orange Juice Generator locations:
Except on the Delfino Airstrip, goop regularly spawns [[Gooble|Swoopin' Stu]]s, small enemies that seek out and attack Mario when he is nearby, spreading more goop in the process.
#Blocking the Warp Pipe leading to the [[Lily Pad Ride]] on a small island off the east coast of Delfino Plaza
#On the back of the police station's tower in Delfino Plaza, covering a small hole containing a Blue Coin
#On a tall building near the [[Cannon#Super Mario Sunshine|cannon]] leading to Pinna Park, covering a small hole with a Blue Coin in it
#Blocking the entrance to a cage containing a Shine Sprite in [[Yoshi's Fruit Adventure|Episode 8]] of Ricco Harbor
#Covering a [[Dune Bud]] to the left of the [[Sand Cabana]] in Gelato Beach
#On a flat green mushroom under Pianta Village in [[Secret of the Village Underside|Episode 5]], covering the entrance to a secret level


===Electric goop===
Goop can trap many friendly characters, including Piantas, [[Noki]]s, and Toads (including [[Toadsworth]]) if they are standing on it, causing them to sink into it. They are freed after the goop around them is cleaned up and can subsequently be sprayed clean, causing them to celebrate and thank Mario if spoken to. Certain Piantas and Nokis may reward Mario with a [[coin]], [[Blue Coin]], or [[1-Up Mushroom]] when spoken to after being rescued this way. Piantas that are dirty with goop but not trapped in it also appear in Bianco Hills and [[Pianta Village]], and they reward Mario similarly if cleaned and spoken to. In particular, the [[Pianta mayor]], who is covered in burning goop, rewards Mario with a [[Shine Sprite]] for doing this.
[[File:The Manta Storm.png|left|thumb|The [[Phantamanta|Manta]], leaving electric goop]]
Electric goop, also known as green goo,<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Pgs. 12 and 116.</ref> is, as its name states, goop infused with electricity. Its color consists of a mixture of teal and yellow, and it has electricity visibly surging from it. This type of goop is found only in Sirena Beach. When [[Mario]] touches this goop, it damages and briefly stuns him. Touching it also causes Mario's colors to be inverted momentarily. Because of their thick soles, the Pianta cleaning staff members of Hotel Delfino are unharmed by the goop; Nokis sink into it. In [[The Manta Storm|Episode 1]] of Sirena Beach, the Manta covers a large portion of the beach in electric goop, causing Hotel Delfino to become stuck underground. After Mario defeats the Manta, the goop disappears and the hotel rises back out of the ground. The electric goop reappears in graffiti form in [[Scrubbing Sirena Beach|Episode 6]], where it is shaped like a smiling [[Boo]] and covers most of the beach in front of Hotel Delfino. Mario has to clean all the goop off the beach within three minutes to earn a Shine Sprite.


===Burning goop===
Terrain features and structures can sink into goop as well, including trees; rock formations in Noki Bay; a section of the Delfino Airstrip; Delfino Plaza's [[Grand Pianta Statue]], [[boathouse]], and lighthouse; the hill leading up to the [[Big Windmill]] in Bianco Hills; and [[Sirena Beach]]'s [[Hotel Delfino]]. Trees and Noki Bay's rock formations sunk this way can be released by cleaning up the goop around them, and certain trees may be revealed this way by spraying patches of ground in [[Gelato Beach]] as well, which does not contain any goop. Other structures sunk this way can typically be released by defeating a Gatekeeper residing on top of the sunken structure, though in Hotel Delfino's case, the [[Phantamanta|Manta]] must be defeated instead. In all cases, objects trapped in goop display a faint bubbling animation when released, with an earthquake occurring as they emerge.
[[File:SMS TheGoopyInferno.png|thumb|Burning goop covering a large portion of [[Pianta Village]]]]
Burning goop, also known as red gunk,<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 12.</ref> hot gunk,<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 152.</ref> lava,<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 153.</ref> or molten goop,<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 159.</ref> is [[Lava#Super Mario Sunshine|lava]]-like goop found only in Pianta Village. It is red-orange in color, and it releases a small burst of flame every now and then. This type of goop burns Mario on contact and sends him flying upward, just like lava or fire. Thus, if Mario gets caught in the middle of a large quantity of this goop, he will likely lose a life or sustain heavy damage, as he will have nowhere else to go after flying upward and falling back downward. In [[Chain Chomplets Unchained|Episode 1]], this goop is produced by feverish [[Chain Chomplet]]s. The goop reappears in [[The Goopy Inferno|Episode 3]], where it covers almost the entire level and Mario must save the [[Pianta mayor]] from the fiery inferno. [[Plurp|Coo Coo]]s fly around and drop burning goop during this episode. The goop is also present in [[Piantas in Need|Episode 6]], where Mario has to rescue ten [[Pianta]]s that are stuck in small puddles of it. In [[Shadow Mario Runs Wild|Episode 7]], [[Shadow Mario]] leaves a trail of burning goop behind him as he runs.


===Slimy water===
The colorful goop pictograms engulfing Noki Bay's rock formations in Uncork the Waterfall are the only ordinary goop in the game to be located on walls. Due to this, they have the unique properties of never spawning Swoopin' Stus and not dealing damage to Mario on contact. Additionally, what appears to be black goop running down the edge of Ricco Harbor is actually part of the [[slimy water]], and therefore cannot even be cleaned off by Mario.
{{see also|Poison (obstacle)}}
[[File:SMS Noki Bay Blue Coin 01.png|left|thumb|[[Noki Bay]] filled with slimy water. The water surrounding the boat is supposed to be clear.]]
Slimy water, also known as purple pollutant<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 12.</ref> or purple goo,<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 135.</ref> is goop-polluted water that depletes one section of Mario's [[Health Meter#Super Mario Sunshine|life meter]] about every two seconds that he is in it. It affects him only while he is on the surface of the water, and it does not hurt him while under the water. Slimy water appears in three areas in the game: [[The Secret of the Dirty Lake|Episode 6]] of [[Bianco Hills]], [[Gooper Blooper Breaks Out|Episode 1]] to [[Gooper Blooper Returns|Episode 5]] of [[Ricco Harbor]], and [[Uncork the Waterfall|Episode 1]] to [[Eely-Mouth's Dentist|Episode 4]] of [[Noki Bay]]. The color and type of slimy water vary with the level in which it is encountered. In Bianco Hills, brownish goop covers the surface of the lake around the [[Big Windmill]]. Ricco Harbor's slimy water, also classified as oil,<ref>Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGAMES Official Strategy Guide. Page 46.</ref><ref name=Prima/> comes from large quantities of spilled black goop that cover the surface of clean water in several areas. Noki Bay's translucent purple slimy water came about as a result of [[Eely-Mouth]]'s gingivitis.
{{br}}


===Hot water===
====''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
[[File:SMS Corona Mountain Tub Battle.png|thumb|[[Bowser]] surrounded by water in his hot tub]]
While regular goop does not appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', [[graffiti]] and a new variant called [[splotchy goop]] do.
Hot water<ref>Averill, Alan, and Jennifer Villarreal. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Player's Guide. Page 111.</ref> (also described as gelatin),<ref>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 111.</ref> ooze,<ref>Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGAMES Official Strategy Guide. Page 144.</ref> or green slime<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 174.</ref> is toxic goop that is green in color. It essentially has the same properties as burning goop, but unlike burning goop, it cannot be removed or washed away, and it does not appear anywhere else in the game. [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] are found soaking in water in a giant floating hot tub at the top of [[Corona Mountain]]. They both remain in this goop for the duration of the final battle. During the battle, Bowser sometimes [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]s the hot tub to splash the water on Mario and damage him. There appears to be an unlimited amount of water in the hot tub; when Bowser tilts the tub, most of it falls out, but the supply is immediately replenished. After Mario ground-pounds all five sections that branch off from the hot tub, the entire hot tub tips over, and all of the water falls out of it into Corona Mountain. The large [[Shine Sprite]] that was trapped in the water is also set free.


===Glorpedo===
===''Mario Golf'' series===
[[File:SMS Noki Bay Graffiti Enemies.png|thumb|left|[[Glorpedo]]es rolling down the cliffside in Noki Bay]]
[[File:PeteyPiranhaDoubleBogey.png|thumb|Petey Piranha with some goop in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'']]
[[Glorpedo]]es, or Iga, are lumpy balls of goop that are pink, yellow, orange, and white in color and appear primarily in Episode 1 of Noki Bay, although [[Petey Piranha]] fires similar projectiles before his first fight. They are shot by a [[Monty Mole]] from a cannon positioned atop the large cork plugging up the waterfall. Mario sustains damage if one runs into him. When Mario sprays Glorpedoes with [[water]], they grow in size. If sprayed long enough, they explode, sometimes leaving behind a [[Water Bottle]] that Mario can collect to refill some of [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]'s water. A Glorpedo shrinks back to its normal size if Mario does not continue spraying it. Glorpedoes also explode if Mario [[jump]]s directly on top of them. After being fired from the cannon, Glorpedoes roll along a set path all the way down the large cliff, trailing common goop behind them. They explode into goop when they reach the end of their path.
Goop appears in two ''[[Mario Golf (series)|Mario Golf]]'' games. In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', Petey Piranha spits up brown-and-white goop when he gets a [[List of golfing terms#Double bogey or worse|double bogey or worse]]. In ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'', goop appears on the [[Mushroom Course]] along with many Proto Piranhas. Landing the ball in goop counts as out of bounds.

==Other appearances==
===''Mario Power Tennis''===
===''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''===
[[File:MPT Tic-Tac-Glow.jpg|thumb|left|Goop in the Tic-Tac-Glow minigame in ''Mario Power Tennis'']]
Graffiti and goop reappear in the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. Black splotchy goop can be found polluting the waters of [[Lake Lapcat]], and it is present due to [[Fury Bowser]], whom Bowser Jr. covered with the same goop. Sometimes, when the player finds [[Cat Shine]]s, some goop in areas near the site of the Cat Shine disappears, usually revealing a new Cat Shine. However, Lake Lapcat cannot be completely cleansed of goop.
In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', brown-and-white goop appears as an obstacle on the [[Delfino Plaza Court]]. It can cause players to slip and slide around. The player must also clear away goop in a tic-tac-toe-like [[minigame]] called [[Tic-Tac-Glow]]. Additionally, Petey Piranha utilizes brown-and-white goop in his [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|Power Shot]]s, [[Sludge Racket]] and [[Piranha Swingback]].
 
Attempting to [[swim]] in this goop results in [[Mario]] taking damage; this is unavoidable, as it negates the effects of all power-ups, including the [[Super Star]] and [[Invincibility Bell]]. If [[Plessie]] swims into the goop, it dives below the water and resurfaces in an area without goop, leaving Mario to take damage. Small areas of goop can be traversed by utilizing the short invincibility granted after Mario takes damage. If Mario attempts to leave the borders of the in-game map, an invisible border prevents him from progressing. This border is also present around [[Fur Step Island]] before [[Giant Bowser]] is defeated at least once to prevent the player from re-accessing the area.
 
[[File:SM3DWBF Graffiti Painting.png|thumb|x100px|left|Bowser Jr. painting on a graffiti spot]]
In the introductory cutscene of the campaign, Mario comes across a black M Graffiti that transforms into a portal, taking him to Lake Lapcat. Throughout the islands of Lake Lapcat, [[? Block|?-shaped]] graffiti appears on various walls and surfaces. When Bowser Jr. joins Mario, he can use his [[Magic Paintbrush]] to create other graffiti art in these spots, yielding a reward once complete. While painting, he produces paint colored and textured like electric goop. In single-player mode, the player must either use the touch cursor or press {{button|switch|a}} when next to a graffiti spot to send Bowser Jr. to investigate. In multiplayer, only the second player can paint graffiti by approaching a graffiti spot and pressing {{button|switch|y}}. Once a graffiti spot has been painted, it shines briefly before the shine fades. The art remains in place of the ? mark permanently, but if the current save file is reloaded, the art appears in black and white. If Bowser Jr. approaches the spot again, he repaints the art in color, producing the same effect.

Goop appears as part of [[Bowser Jr.]] and the [[Koopalings]]' [[Final Smash]], [[Shadow Mario Paint]], in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. This move involves the user transforming into Shadow Mario and using the Magic Paintbrush to paint yellow-and-orange goop over the screen in an ''X'' shape, which can deal damage to opponents on contact and eventually explodes. The goop painted visually resembles ''Super Mario Sunshine''{{'}}s regular goop and burning goop but in the shape of X Graffiti. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', a noticeable difference is that Goop remains onscreen for a shorter period of time before exploding.

====Splotchy goop====
In addition to these variants, most enemies and bosses in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', as well as the game's Yoshis, appear to be at least partially composed of goop, as they dissolve into goop bubbles when attacked or defeated. This is most noticeable with enemies such as [[Strollin' Stu]]s, which emerge out of a Generator-like mound of goop in Episode 1 of Bianco Hills ([[Road to the Big Windmill]]), but also occurs for enemies and bosses such as [[Cataquack]]s and [[King Boo (Super Mario Sunshine)|King Boo]]. The ''[[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia]]'' confirmed that the enemies and Yoshis in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' are created from Bowser Jr.'s graffiti.<ref>{{media link|ESMB Bowser Jr Graffiti.png|An excerpt of page 107 of the Japanese version of the ''Super Mario Bros.

“As you are no doubt aware, someone has been senselessly defacing fair Isle Delfino using some paint-like substance. The accused is charged with polluting our beautiful home and yes, endangering our very way of life. Indeed, how can one not be aware of what is going on? Though it is daytime in Delfino Plaza, our poor residents tremble beneath a veil of darkness. Expert Shine scholars have determined that this darkness has arisen because all of our guardians, the Shine Sprites, have vanished from their gathering spot at the Shine Gate. The reason? It's quite obvious. This horrible graffiti is to blame!”
—Pianta prosecutor, Super Mario Sunshine

Goop, also known as graffiti (though this more properly refers to a variety of goop that is painted on walls), gunk,[1] or sludge,[2] is a hazardous substance that first appears in Super Mario Sunshine. It is a thick, slimy, paint-like residue that can slick Mario's footing and deal damage to him, as well as causing other characters and structures to sink into it. It can be cleaned up and removed using water, most notably sprayed by F.L.U.D.D.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Sunshine[edit]

Goop is a major hazard in Super Mario Sunshine. It is spread across Isle Delfino by Bowser Jr. in the guise of Shadow Mario using his Magic Paintbrush. It is first encountered in the opening cutscene taking place on the Delfino Airstrip, where a pink, orange, yellow, and white color variant has been painted over the main airstrip, forcing the Toad Express to curve and skid to a halt as it lands. After dismounting the plane, the yellow Toad in Princess Peach's entourage notes that the goop is moving on its own. Mario subsequently obtains FLUDD on the airstrip and uses it to clean up the goop and defeat a Gatekeeper, a type of large, goop-based Piranha Plant dwelling in the middle of the goop, restoring the airstrip to its normal state. Mario is arrested by the Isle Delfino Police shortly afterward and accused by the Pianta prosecutor of painting the goop all over Isle Delfino. The Pianta judge then sentences him to clean up all of the island's goop and graffiti.

Goop appears in three different colors depending on the area and scenario it is encountered in:

  • Pink, yellow, orange, and white goop appears on the Delfino Airstrip during Delfino Airstrip Dilemma as well as in Episode 1 of Noki Bay (Uncork the Waterfall).
  • Brown-and-white goop appears in Delfino Plaza's Polluted Piranha Battle and Shadow Mario Chase events, as well as Episodes 1, 2, 3, and 5 of Bianco Hills. Petey Piranha launches this color of goop from his mouth, and ordinary Piranha Plants require it in order to appear and attack Mario, as well as being covered in it. Piranhabons are similarly covered in it, and Coo Coos generate it in Bianco Hills.
  • Black goop appears in Delfino Plaza's Boathouse Blues and Cleaning Lighthouse events, as well as Episodes 1–5 of Ricco Harbor and Episode 2 of Noki Bay (The Boss of Tricky Ruins). It is spat out by Gooper Blooper and ordinary Bloopers as a projectile, resembling ink in this way.

Additionally, there are also two special varieties of goop with unique properties: burning goop and electric goop.

Ordinary goop is a tar-like substance that slickens the ground and causes Mario to lose traction. If Mario stands on goop for too long, he sustains damage every few seconds. It also dirties and sticks to his clothes, which can be cleaned by spin-jumping or swimming in clean water. Goop is found in several different colors depending on the area in which it is encountered. According to a certain Pianta in Delfino Plaza who is trapped in it during Mario's first visit, it tastes "sweet," and he likens it to "candy."

Except on the Delfino Airstrip, goop regularly spawns Swoopin' Stus, small enemies that seek out and attack Mario when he is nearby, spreading more goop in the process.

Goop can trap many friendly characters, including Piantas, Nokis, and Toads (including Toadsworth) if they are standing on it, causing them to sink into it. They are freed after the goop around them is cleaned up and can subsequently be sprayed clean, causing them to celebrate and thank Mario if spoken to. Certain Piantas and Nokis may reward Mario with a coin, Blue Coin, or 1-Up Mushroom when spoken to after being rescued this way. Piantas that are dirty with goop but not trapped in it also appear in Bianco Hills and Pianta Village, and they reward Mario similarly if cleaned and spoken to. In particular, the Pianta mayor, who is covered in burning goop, rewards Mario with a Shine Sprite for doing this.

Terrain features and structures can sink into goop as well, including trees; rock formations in Noki Bay; a section of the Delfino Airstrip; Delfino Plaza's Grand Pianta Statue, boathouse, and lighthouse; the hill leading up to the Big Windmill in Bianco Hills; and Sirena Beach's Hotel Delfino. Trees and Noki Bay's rock formations sunk this way can be released by cleaning up the goop around them, and certain trees may be revealed this way by spraying patches of ground in Gelato Beach as well, which does not contain any goop. Other structures sunk this way can typically be released by defeating a Gatekeeper residing on top of the sunken structure, though in Hotel Delfino's case, the Manta must be defeated instead. In all cases, objects trapped in goop display a faint bubbling animation when released, with an earthquake occurring as they emerge.

The colorful goop pictograms engulfing Noki Bay's rock formations in Uncork the Waterfall are the only ordinary goop in the game to be located on walls. Due to this, they have the unique properties of never spawning Swoopin' Stus and not dealing damage to Mario on contact. Additionally, what appears to be black goop running down the edge of Ricco Harbor is actually part of the slimy water, and therefore cannot even be cleaned off by Mario.

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]

While regular goop does not appear in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, graffiti and a new variant called splotchy goop do.

Mario Golf series[edit]

Goop appears in two Mario Golf games. In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Petey Piranha spits up brown-and-white goop when he gets a double bogey or worse. In Mario Golf: Advance Tour, goop appears on the Mushroom Course along with many Proto Piranhas. Landing the ball in goop counts as out of bounds.

Mario Power Tennis[edit]

Tic-Tac-Glow
Goop in the Tic-Tac-Glow minigame in Mario Power Tennis

In Mario Power Tennis, brown-and-white goop appears as an obstacle on the Delfino Plaza Court. It can cause players to slip and slide around. The player must also clear away goop in a tic-tac-toe-like minigame called Tic-Tac-Glow. Additionally, Petey Piranha utilizes brown-and-white goop in his Power Shots, Sludge Racket and Piranha Swingback.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Shadow Mario Paint in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
The goop created by Shadow Mario Paint in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Goop appears as part of Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings' Final Smash, Shadow Mario Paint, in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This move involves the user transforming into Shadow Mario and using the Magic Paintbrush to paint yellow-and-orange goop over the screen in an X shape, which can deal damage to opponents on contact and eventually explodes. The goop painted visually resembles Super Mario Sunshine's regular goop and burning goop but in the shape of X Graffiti. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a noticeable difference is that Goop remains onscreen for a shorter period of time before exploding.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam[edit]

In Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, during the Airplane Guard sequence of the battle with Petey Piranha, he attacks Mario and Luigi by spitting balls of goop as he does in Super Mario Sunshine.

WarioWare Gold[edit]

In WarioWare Gold, Mario uses F.L.U.D.D. to clean brown-and-white goop off a building in the Super Mario Sunshine microgame.

Dr. Mario World[edit]

In Dr. Mario World, Dr. Petey Piranha uses goop to destroy viruses during his special skill animation.

Variants[edit]

Numerous varieties of goop have appeared, largely in Super Mario Sunshine, consisting of the following:

  • Burning goop, a fiery orange variant of ordinary goop that appears in Pianta Village
  • Electric goop, an electrically charged green-and-yellow variant of ordinary goop that appears in Sirena Beach
  • Glorpedoes, rolling ball projectiles formed from goop that appear in Bianco Hills and Noki Bay
  • Graffiti, a dried form of goop used by Bowser Jr. to tag walls in Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
  • Hot water, slimy green goop that appears in the final boss battle against Bowser and Bowser Jr. in Corona Mountain
  • Orange Juice Generators, pulsating masses of orange goop that can be destroyed only by a Yoshi's juice-spraying ability
  • Rainbow Ms, an amorphous, multicolored form of goop that can be painted on walls. Mario and Shadow Mario can use it to travel to other areas of Isle Delfino. Similar goop also appears within the pipes to Sirena Beach and Pianta Village.
  • Slimy water, damaging, goop-polluted water that appears in Bianco Hills, Ricco Harbor, and Noki Bay
  • Splotchy goop, black goop that corrupts Bowser and pollutes the waters of Lake Lapcat in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

In addition to these variants, most enemies and bosses in Super Mario Sunshine, as well as the game's Yoshis, appear to be at least partially composed of goop, as they dissolve into goop bubbles when attacked or defeated. This is most noticeable with enemies such as Strollin' Stus, which emerge out of a Generator-like mound of goop in Episode 1 of Bianco Hills (Road to the Big Windmill), but also occurs for enemies and bosses such as Cataquacks and King Boo. The Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia confirmed that the enemies and Yoshis in Super Mario Sunshine are created from Bowser Jr.'s graffiti.[3]
