A '''Big Blooper''', also known as a '''Giant Blooper''' or '''Mega Blooper''', is a giant variant of [[Blooper]] that appears throughout the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].

===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!''===

In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', a giant-sized Bloober appears from underneath an underwater ship that rises after [[Mario]] and [[Haru-ōji|Kibidango]] board it. It catches up to them and wraps its arms around the ship. Mario and Kibidango cartoonishly blow onto the sails, making the ship move faster and releasing it from the Bloober's grip, much to its confusion.

 

 

 

 

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', if Mario goes too close to the edges of [[the Great Sea]], a Big Blooper holding a sign comes out of the water and prevents him from going any further. [[Legendary Blooper|Another one]] can be fished up on [[Full Moon Island]].

In ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', a Big Blooper, herein known as a Giant Blooper, makes an appearance in the [[Blooper Scooper]] minigame, where players have to avoid the whirlpool that it creates. This Blooper also appears in the "Blooper, Ahoy" and "It Came From the Deep" pages of the [[Miracle Book]]. Unlike most Bloopers, which only have stubby arms, the Giant Blooper has at least three long tentacles in this appearance, despite real squid only having two.

 

A Giant Blooper appears in a pool on the north side of the board [[Grand Canal]] in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', where it is seen continuously juggling balls with its tentacles. Upon landing on its [[Event Space]], it juggles four treasure chests containing a [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]], five [[coin]]s, a [[Ztar|Dark Star]], and nothing, and the player must select one.

Mega Blooper reappears in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'' again as a boss. Players engage it in any board and at any time, provided they land on the boss space. Mega Blooper is a less aggressive boss in its minigame, [[Mega Blooper's Bayside Bop]]. Instead, it plays as a role of a conductor. It summons Bloopers depending on the number of players participating and it throws a beach ball. The Bloopers hit the beach ball in specific rhythm. The Mega Blooper then throws another beach ball. To earn points, players then have to time hitting these beach balls the same way the Bloopers have done. After they are done, the players randomly shift positions. In the second half of the minigame, the Mega Blooper increases the tempo. The player that deals the last hit to empty the meter earns an additional three points. After the minigame is finished, Mega Blooper finishes conducting and leaves.

The Blooper from ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', here known as a Big Blooper, appears in the background of the [[S.S. Flavion]] section of the [[Paper Mario (stage)|Paper Mario]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
