Bloopers first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Bloopers are usually depicted as white squids with a black, mask-like marking on their face. A typical Blooper has ten arms, of which only two are typically used as such, although Bloopers can have more or less appendages. While most Bloopers lack actual squid tentacles, large Bloopers are sometimes shown with them, sometimes in great amounts. Some Bloopers can squirt ink from between their arms, while in other appearances, they are depicted squirting ink from a small mouth located near the eyes. Along with swimming through water, Bloopers have a variety of abilities, such as flying, being able to survive outside of water, burrowing in the ground, shooting globs of ink, and blasting opponents with energy beams. Bloopers can also leap from the water and charge into [[Mario]] and other characters. Their name comes from "bloop", an onomatopoeia for the sound of bubbles breaching the surface of water, acknowledged by how Bloopers use high-pitched warbling to communicate.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros.'' / ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''====
[[File:SMB FDS World Minus 3.png|thumb|Flying Bloobers in the FDS Minus World]]
{{multiframe|[[File:SMB Blooper Sprite.gif]]|align=left|size=30|bg=#2038EC}}
{{multiframe|[[File:SMBLL Sky Bloober.png]]|size=100|align=left|The Sky Blooper from ''Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels''}}
Bloobers first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', having a similar role in both games. They follow [[Mario]] continuously, although they cannot touch the ground, a drawback that persists in later 2D games. As a result, they move in a regular zig-zag pattern. They will inflict damage on contact and can be defeated with a [[fireball]] from [[Fire Mario|Fiery Mario]] or invincibility from a [[Super Star|Starman]]. A Bloober serves as a [[Impostor Bowser|fake Bowser]] at the end of World 6's castle, where it will be revealed as it falls into the lava if the player defeats it with fireballs. Bloopers first appear in the level [[World 2-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-2]] of ''Super Mario Bros.'' In ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', there are Bloobers capable of flying through the air the same way they swim through the water; they act the same way as they did in ''Super Mario Bros.'' The airborne Bloobers can be jumped on for 1000 [[point]]s (Mario cannot stomp on enemies while swimming in early games.) Bloobers share their palette with [[Goomba]]s in these two games; they appear a tan and brown color. Despite being the same coded object, the flying Bloober is considered a distinct type known as a '''Sky Blooper'''.<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/smb2/?lang=en|title=''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' entry on the official Mario Portal|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|language=en|accessdate=August 13, 2022|archive=archive.today/2022.08.13-143518/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/smb2/?lang=en}}</ref>

In the [[Family Computer Disk System]] version of the [[Minus World]] glitch in ''Super Mario Bros.'', flying Bloobers, like the ones in ''The Lost Levels'', appear in World -3, an underground-recolored version of [[World 4-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-4]]. Since Bloobers use the exact same color schemes as Goombas, these Bloobers are colored light blue.

In the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' remakes of both games, Bloopers are depicted as pink rather than white, but later changed to an off-white color in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]''.
{{br|left}}

====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:SMB3 Blooper.gif|thumb]]
Bloobers appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and its [[reissue]]s. They are now half the size but behave almost identically as before. There is one major difference, however, in that they can no longer go through walls, severely limiting their options to chase the player. They also cannot swim out of the water, so unlike in ''The Lost Levels'', they cannot be caught flying.

[[Blooper Nanny|Bloober]] with [[Blooper Baby|children]] were introduced, which differ from Bloobers only in that three or four Bloober babies follow behind, or can be released. Bloopers are pink in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version, consistent with the ''Super Mario Bros.'' release in the same game.

====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
[[File:SMS Blooper Artwork.png|thumb|left|Artwork from ''Super Mario Sunshine'']]
Bloopers, also called '''Gesso''',<ref>{{cite|author=Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh|date=2002|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Official Strategy Guide|publisher=BradyGAMES|language=en-us|isbn=0-7440-0180-3|page=5}}</ref> appear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', making their first appearance in the 3D ''Super Mario'' series. They are encountered in [[Ricco Harbor]] (including dead ones inside of a boat in a few episodes), the [[Big Boo (character)|King Boo]] battle, and [[Noki Bay]]. Bloopers appear on dry land and spit [[goop]] to attack, unlike before. Bloopers are stunned briefly if sprayed with water. A Blooper can be defeated if [[stomp]]ed, releasing a [[coin]]. If a Blooper falls into the water, it vanishes. The game introduces a variant, [[Bloopad]]; a large Blooper boss, [[Gooper Blooper]]; and [[Blooper Racer]]s that Mario can ride.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
Bloopers appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They are encountered only in [[World 3-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-3]]. They move identically as in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' with the same restrictions, and they can still be defeated from the same methods as before. Blooper Nannies and Blooper Babies also reappear in this game.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:SMG Blooper Screenshot.png|thumb|Screenshot from ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
Bloopers appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They are encountered in only two Galaxies: the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]] and the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]. A Blooper chases Mario if he is nearby, possibly up to the surface of the water. A Blooper can damage Mario on contact, also releasing ink in the process. A Blooper can be defeated from either a [[Spin]] or a [[Koopa Shell]]. Hitting them with a [[Star Bit]] causes them to spin.

Bloopers appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They are encountered only in [[World 4-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 4-4]] and [[World 8-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-4]]. Bloopers can hide behind scenery and inside of [[Warp Pipe]]s, quickly launching themselves out at a player character in range. Bloopers are unaffected by [[Ice Ball]]s. Blooper Nannies also reappear.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
Bloopers appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are encountered in [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]] only. Bloopers are in the deepest body of water that surrounds the largest tower in both missions.

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
Bloopers appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. Their movements are slower and less accurate in general. Bloopers can whirl around underwater. They can be defeated from either a [[Ground Pound]], [[boomerang]], fireball, tail whip, or as [[Statue Mario]]. If landed on, neither the Blooper nor the player character is affected.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Bloopers appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They are exclusively encountered in [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3]] ([[World 3-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3-5]] only). They are the same as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
Bloopers appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|their port]]. In the former game, they are encountered in only two levels: [[Blooper's Secret Lair]] and [[Tropical Refresher]]. Likewise, in ''New Super Luigi U'', Bloopers appear only in [[Star Coin Deep Dive]]. Bloopers no longer break free immediately when frozen.

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
[[File:Blooper SM3DW.jpg|thumb|Screenshot from ''Super Mario 3D World'']]
Bloopers appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its port]]. They are encountered in [[Rammerhead Reef]], [[Gargantuan Grotto]], and [[Pipeline Boom Lagoon]]. Their movement involves turning sideways and charging at the player character. Bloopers can be defeated from the same methods as in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', with the addition of [[Cat Mario]].

====''Super Mario Maker'' subseries====
Bloopers are course parts in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They are enemies functioning identically to their appearance in ''Super Mario Bros.'', though in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style of the latter game, Bloopers turn sideways and charge as a form of attacking. Bloopers can be placed out of water, not unlike ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', as well as being capable of escaping from water. Bloopers can be shaken to turn into a Blooper Nanny. A Blooper can be made larger from a [[Super Mushroom]]. If given wings, Bloopers move much faster. They can be placed in [[Warp Pipe]]s, [[Bill Blaster]]s, [[Block]]s, and on [[track]]s.

====''Super Mario Run''====
In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', the player can obtain Blooper Statues as [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|building]]s in Kingdom Builder mode. They are a 5★ item. Initially available in a ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' event, Blooper Statues have since been made as items from the Bonus Game in the Remix 10 mode. When one is tapped, it squirts a spot of ink onto the screen. The ink wears off quickly.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
Although Bloopers themselves do not appear physically in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', a drawing of one appears on [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s fan when she appears in [[Bowser's Kingdom]].

===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
[[File:Blooperanimefilm.png|thumb|left|x100px|A Blooper in ''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!'']]
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', several Bloobers appear flying out of [[Mario]]'s television when he is playing [[Family Computer]] at the beginning of the film. Later, a [[Big Blooper|giant-sized Bloober]] makes an appearance, as the apparent guardian of a sunken ship.

===DIC cartoons===
====''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''====
[[File:SMBSSBloopers.jpg|thumb|Two Bloobers from ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' episode "Mario of the Deep"]]
{{quote|Eh, go suck on a sewer pipe! I can take you with seven arms tied behind me back!|Bloober|"[[Mario of the Deep]]"}}
Bloobers, also referred to as Bloopers, appear in two episodes of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'': "[[20,000 Koopas Under the Sea]]" and "[[Mario of the Deep]]." In these episodes, they are portrayed as [[Bowser|King Koopa]]'s primary aquatic minions and perform the bulk of his duties. The only episode of ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' where a Bloober has a speaking role is "Mario of the Deep," where one is described as an octopus and claims he can defeat the Mario Bros. with seven arms behind his back, despite having only six.

====''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:Bloopers TAOSMB3.jpg|thumb|left|Two Bloobers in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' episode "Mush-Rumors"]]
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Bloobers, as well as Scattering Bloobers and Bloober babies, are enemies in several episodes, such as "[[Mush-Rumors]]," "[[Oh, Brother!]]," and "[[Recycled Koopa]]."
{{br}}

===''Nintendo Comics System''===
Several Bloobers appear in ''[[Love Flounders]]''. They are among the sea creatures that try to get Mario to become [[Big Cheep Cheep#Nintendo Comics System|Bertha]]'s boyfriend so as to not be one themselves.

===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
In ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'', some Bloobers try to attack Luigi while he is traveling through [[Water Land]], but he avoids them. Later, some more Bloobers appear in a pool of water Luigi falls into while exploring [[Iggy|Iggy Koopa]]'s secret lab. The Bloobers spray Sleepy Ink at Luigi, but if he has a [[Frog Suit]], he can deflect the goop. After dispelling the ink, Luigi frightens the Bloobers away by making a scary face, and finds a pogo stick they were guarding.

===''Yoshi''===
Bloobers are falling objects in ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]''. They are depicted similarly to their sprites from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

===''Yoshi's Safari''===
[[File:YoshisafariBlooper.png|frame|right]]
Bloobers appear in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]''. They are yellow, and their attack consists of trying to ram into the player character. Several blasts from the [[Super Scope]] can defeat them. A large Bloober is the basis of the design of the [[King Gessō|mech]] built and utilized by [[Iggy|Iggy Koopa]].

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
[[File:SMRPG Bloober idle.gif|frame|left]]
Bloopers appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]]. In the original game, they use the name "Bloober." Bloopers are encountered in [[sea]], near the [[Sunken Ship]], and in one of the [[The Trial Course#Battle course 2|battle course]]s in [[Bowser's Keep]]. One of the game's bosses is a very large Blooper, [[King Calamari]]. A Blooper with kids also appears in a flooded area with [[barrel]]s hiding the entrance to the [[Safety Ring (Super Mario RPG)|Safety Ring]], but Blooper babies are not fought and touching them results in a battle with its parent. In battle, Bloopers have low defense but high attack. As such, they can be easily defeated, but can do a good amount of damage. They also use their [[Ink Blast]] ability to do a large amount of damage. Despite being aggressive in most other games, Bloopers will flee from battle when physically attacked.

===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party''====
Bloobers are hazards in the [[minigame]]s [[Mushroom Mix-Up]], [[Bumper Balls]], [[Bombs Away (minigame)|Bombs Away]], and [[Treasure Divers]] in ''[[Mario Party]]''.

====''Mario Party 2''====
Bloobers are non-playable characters in ''[[Mario Party 2]]''. Reprising their role from some previous minigames in ''Mario Party'', Bloobers also take losing characters in [[Abandon Ship (minigame)|Abandon Ship]], Bumper Balls and Bombs Away offscreen. Bloobers appear in a few minor capacities, including a depiction on the central platform of [[Torpedo Targets]]; a fossilized character in [[Crazy Cutters]]; a drawing shaped like it in the desert area of [[Mystery Land]]; and a mechanical object at the bottom right of [[Space Land]].

====''Mario Party 3''====
[[File:MP3 Deep Bloober Sea Board.png|thumb|Bloobers on Deep Bloober Sea in ''Mario Party 3'']]
Bloobers are non-playable characters in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. They are encountered in [[Deep Bloober Sea]]. Two giant Bloobers, consisting of a child and mother, move player characters to different [[Space (Mario Party series)|spaces]] around the board. Some Bloobers are found pulling along [[clam]]s.

====''Mario Party 4''====
Bloopers are obstacles in the minigame [[Manta Rings]] in ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. They take away a point from whoever touches it.

====''Mario Party 6''====
Bloopers do not appear in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', though a [[Big Blooper|Giant Blooper]] is fought in the minigame [[Blooper Scooper]].

====''Mario Party Advance''====
[[File:MPA Blooper Character Screenshot.png|thumb|Blooper in ''Mario Party Advance'']]
{{quote|Man! I'm so nervous... I'm trembling with anticipation! I'm not scared. ...Brrrr.|Blooper|[[Mario Party Advance]]}}
Blooper is a character in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. He appears in the [[Shroom City (Mario Party Advance)|Shroom City]] mode. He trains regularly at the [[Mushroom Beacon]] to become a master duelist.<ref>{{cite|quote=He trains hard at the lighthouse. He trains to be a master.|date=2005|title=In-game description, ''Mario Party Advance''|publisher=Nintendo|language=en}}</ref> When first encountered at the Beacon, he explains the concept of dueling and duelists, saying that he is training to become a duelist himself. He then asks for a quick duel. If his request is accepted, he is glad that he does not have to train alone anymore. He challenges the player to [[Hammergeddon]]. Blooper mopes when he loses, but allows the player to keep the minigame. He also talks about how the best duelists are found in the [[Duel Tower]] before asking the player to return, saying that he will be stronger.

Later, at [[Sushi Cliff]], Blooper is one of the suspects in the case of who dragged [[Shroomlock]] off the cliff and to the ocean. He was one of the witnesses who saw Shroomlock get pulled in, along with [[Dolphin]] and [[Cheep Cheep]]. When he was interviewed by [[Sushi]], he claimed to be an innocent "swimmer-by", crossing his tentacles as he said so. He turns out to be the one who pulled Shroomlock, since he was the only one who was actually able to pull Shroomlock. He then proceeds to apologize profusely before dashing off. The ending credits state that Blooper continues to train and grow stronger.

====''Mario Party 8''====
[[File:MP8 Blooper.png|thumb|left|x200px|Artwork from ''Mario Party 8'', Blooper's first playable appearance]]
Blooper is a playable character in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. It is unlocked by completing the Star Arena Mode and having Blooper as the opponent in [[Bowser's Warped Orbit]]. Blooper floats around, similarly to [[Boo]]. Blooper has [[Hammer Bro]] as its default partner. It is the only character in ''Mario Party 8'' to not return as a playable character in later installments.

====''Mario Party DS''====
A Blooper is mentioned in ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', despite no Bloopers themselves appearing in the game. It is said to be the source of the ink used by [[Kamek]] while writing.<ref>{{cite|quote=Kamek writes with magical ink that only the writer can see. Pretty useful for diaries. He squeezed the ink from a Blooper, which is a little yucky.|date=2007|title=Kamek's Inkwell description, ''Mario Party DS''|publisher=Nintendo|language=en}}</ref>

====''Mario Party 9''====
Blooper is a boss in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. It is much larger than an average Blooper. It is fought on the [[Blooper Beach]] board, during the boss minigame [[Blooper Barrage (minigame)|Blooper Barrage]]. He jumps out to throw [[Urchin]]s at players while being shot at with cannonballs. When losing half of his health, Blooper starts throwing two Urchins at a time. Blooper can also appear in [[Bowser's Block Battle]] if Bowser rolls a die that depicts Blooper upon landing.

====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====
Bloopers are non-playable characters in various minigames and an item in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]''. The item is [[Blooper Chopper]]s, which halves an opponent's roll.

====''Mario Party 10''====
Bloopers are non-playable characters in ''[[Mario Party 10]]''. Several of them are encountered in [[Whimsical Waters]], obscuring spaces with ink as part of the [[Risky Route]] event in Bowser Party mode. There is only one in Mario Party mode, appearing at an [[Unlucky Space]] and inking whoever lands on the space, preventing that player from being able to use Special Dice Blocks on the next turn. Several Bloopers also appear in the same board in Bowser Party mode, A [[Big Blooper|Mega Blooper]] is fought as the boss of Whimsical Waters. There is also a carousel in [[Mushroom Park]] that resembles a Blooper, the [[Blooper-Go-Round]], and Blooper-shaped submarines are used by players in the minigame [[Blooper Blastoff]].

====''Mario Party: Star Rush''====
Bloopers appear as an item in Coinathlon mode of ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', where they cover opponents' screens with ink when used, obscuring their view, similar to the ''Mario Kart'' series.

Mega Blooper is again a prominent boss in ''Mario Party: Star Rush''. In the minigame [[Mega Blooper's Bayside Bop]], this Blooper is a conductor and several small Bloopers hit a beach ball in rhythm while the trajectories of the beach ball is shown. Once it is the players' turn, they must mimic this pattern to earn points. Points are earned based on the timing.

====''Mario Party: The Top 100''====
Bloopers reappear in the returning [[Bombs Away (minigame)|Bombs Away]] minigame in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', by once again taking away any characters that fall in the water.

====''Super Mario Party''====
[[File:Blooper Pools SMP.png|thumb|A Blooper in ''Super Mario Party'']]
Bloopers are obstacles in the River Survival mode in ''[[Super Mario Party]]''. They slow down players when bumped into and have [[Blooper Pools|a route named after them]]. There is also a Mega Blooper, which is an obstacle of [[Megafruit Paradise]].

====''Mario Party Superstars''====
Bloopers are obstacles in the returning minigames [[Mushroom Mix-Up]], [[Bumper Balls]], and [[Bombs Away (minigame)|Bombs Away]] in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.

====''Super Mario Party Jamboree''====
Bloopers are obstacles in the returning [[Treasure Divers]] minigame in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]''. Bloopers can also be used as items in Koopathlon and the [[Waluigi's Pinball Arcade]] minigame. In Waluigi's Pinball Arcade, a player who has their roulette stop on a Blooper causes the other players to have ink sprayed on them and their view obscured for a few seconds, making it harder for them to earn points and see where their pinballs are located. In Koopathlon, a player who receives a Blooper can use it to squirt ink on the player in front of them, obscuring their view. Bloopers in this game use the same voice clips as the Mega Blooper in ''Super Mario Party'', which in turn are a lower-pitched version of a normal Blooper's voice.

===''Mario Golf'' series===
Bloopers have had minor appearances throughout the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'']] series. In ''[[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|Mario Golf]]'' for the [[Game Boy Color]], balls that result in a Water Hazard cause a Bloober to appear. [[Blooper Bay]], which appears in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', is named after them, and they are one of many characters referenced by the game's scoreboard. In ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'', a Blooper appears in the sea in the [[Palms|Palms Club Practice Center]]. The player must shoot three shots at it, causing a [[Custom Ticket|Custom Ticket B]] to be washed up on the shore. Blooper's name can appear in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' on the tournament scoreboard.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
[[File:PaperMarioBlooper.png|thumb|left|A Blooper in ''Paper Mario'']]
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', three large Bloopers appear in the [[Toad Town Tunnels]]. Here, they are called "Bloopers" for the first time in-game, as in all previous named appearances they were referred to as "Bloobers". The Bloopers guard specific areas; one is guarding the [[Shrink Stomp]] Badge, one guards the upper west side with the [[Warp Pipe]]s to [[Goomba Village (location)|Goomba Village]], [[Koopa Village]], and [[Dry Dry Outpost]], and one guards the lower east side with the [[Warp Pipe]]s to [[Yoshi's Village]], [[Shiver City]], [[Rip Cheato]]'s hidden room, and the [[Ultra Boots]]. Which one he fights when reaching these areas depends on if he has fought any of the others yet; the Blooper is always the first one seen, the [[Electro Blooper]] is the second to find, and the [[Super Blooper (boss)|Super Blooper]] always appears last. While the last two are optional, Mario must obtain the [[Ultra Boots]] during Chapter 6, thus requiring at least one Blooper battle.

The regular Blooper is the weakest and smallest of the three Bloopers in the game. One of its more notable features is that it floats, meaning it will have to be jumped on or have a special attack used on it.
{{br|left}}

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
[[File:Blooey TTYD sprite.png|thumb|left|Blooey, as seen in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'']]
Although regular-sized Bloopers do not appear as enemies in the Mario sections of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], they do appear in [[Bowser]]'s underwater level. They are enemies that can simply be taken care of by breathing [[Fire Breath|flames]] at them. After Bowser gets out of the water and is talking to [[Kammy Koopa]], he says, "I swallowed a dang Blooper!"

[[Luigi]] also has a "partner" named [[Blooey]], who is a tough Blooper that Luigi accidentally threw into lava during his journey, thinking nothing of it. Blooey supposedly will keep following Luigi around until he gets his revenge, as he states. Blooey appears in Chapter 3. He surprisingly appears in Chapter 8 before the [[Shadow Queen]] is beaten, being darker and more forgiving to Luigi. [[Goombella]] notes that Blooey is a strange Blooper for the fact that he can live on land.

One [[Big Blooper#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|giant-sized Blooper]], referred to simply as "Blooper" in battle, appears as the prologue's second required boss. When Mario and Goombella are traveling to Petal Meadows to retrieve the Diamond Star, they find the large Bloopers tentacle sticking out of the sewer water. After Mario hits the tentacle with his hammer, the Blooper gets angry and fights Mario. After its defeat, it disappears and platforms appear that allow Mario and Goombella to reach the pipe to Petal Meadows.

In the Nintendo Switch remake, the Blooper appears during the end credits, where it attacks some of the residents of Rogueport with its ink, chasing them offstage.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Bloopers appear as somewhat common enemies in [[the Tile Pool]], where they will attack the player by persistently following them and trying to touch them; as Mario and [[Princess Peach]] have no useful underwater attacks when the Tile Pool is first ventured through, players will need to use a [[Pixl]] or Bowser's [[Fire Breath]] to defeat Bloopers. Since Bloopers are weak enemies, they take double damage, as opposed to [[Cheep Cheep]]s. A particular [[Big Blooper (Super Paper Mario)|Big Blooper]] appears as a boss in the Tile Pool as well.

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
[[File:Poison Blooper PMSS.png|Poison Blooper|thumb|left]]
Bloopers, along with their boss [[Gooper Blooper]], appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', once again floating above ground. After one of the [[Royal Sticker]]s fall on Gooper Blooper, it turns him and his Bloopers into hostile [[Poison Blooper]]s that has polluted much of the sea. Some even help [[Kamek]] separate [[Wiggler]]'s body segments. Poison Bloopers can also be encountered as common enemies. They are one of the few enemies that have not been redesigned in this game.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
[[File:PMCS Blooper.png|thumb|A Blooper in ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'']]
In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', Bloopers appear as a common enemy in [[Plum Park]], [[Vortex Island]], [[Lighthouse Island]], and [[Fortune Island]]. In the last three areas, Bloopers are replaced with Boos when Mario enters the [[parallel world]]. In the game, Mario can encounter regular Bloopers, [[Blooper 10-Stack]]s, and [[Poison Blooper]]s.

A [[colorless spot]] that resembles a Blooper can be found at the entrance of the [[Violet Passage]]. Blooper targets that must be hit by [[Cannonball]]s also appear in the level, and award Mario twenty points. Bloopers appear in ''Snifit or Whiffit: Seabed Edition'' during the bonus round questions; a group of them swim past to obscure cards, and one appears holding a card in the final question.

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
[[File:OrigamiBlooper.jpg|thumb|left|100px|An origami Blooper]]
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', Bloopers appear as members of the [[Folded Soldiers]], first appearing in the purple streamer area. In battle, they can use their "Blump" attack, swooping towards Mario in an erratic pattern before striking him for a medium amount of damage. They also may squirt ink in Mario's face, although this does not have any extra effects. Bloopers can also use "Bombs Away," in which they pick up a nearby enemy and drop it on Mario, although this defeats the other enemy in the process. Like [[Boo]]s, Bloopers are immune to [[POW Block]]s, due to floating off the ground. Normal Bloopers appear as fishable entities on [[Full Moon Island]] in [[the Great Sea]], including the gigantic [[Legendary Blooper]]. [[Paper Macho Gooper Blooper]] also appears on [[the Princess Peach]].

===''Nintendo Puzzle Collection''===
Bloopers are enemies in the ''[[Yoshi's Cookie]]'' remake in ''[[Nintendo Puzzle Collection]]''. They are in normal difficulty only and replace Cheep Cheep from the original game.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
{{multiframe
|[[File:Blooper SSS.png]] [[File:MLSSBMBlooper.png]]
|align=left
}}
Bloopers appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. They are encountered in the [[Seabed]]. Bloopers use their classic zigzagging style of movement. These Bloopers attack by running into Mario or Luigi and damaging them. The Bros. can defend themselves by [[hammer]]ing the Bloopers that they encounter. [[Elite Pestnut]]s and, more rarely, [[Goomdiver]]s, can sometimes appear in battle with them. Bloopers are weak to [[Thunderhand]], though they can only be hit by an [[Advanced Command|Advanced]] [[Thunder Bros.]] due to them being high up in the air, so a solo Thunderhand attack and a normal Thunder Bros. attack (unless the second [[Action Command]] is not inputted correctly in the original game) will not hit them.

A new type of robotic Bloopers, called [[Mecha-Blooper]]s, also appear in the game, being found in the Seabed and the underwater portions of [[Gwarhar Lagoon]]. These Bloopers attack with their arms, which are actually five [[Bullet Bill]]s that are launched at Mario and Luigi, counterattack immediately when they are attacked, and are weak to [[Thunderhand|electricity]].

}}
A Blooper fountain statue called the [[Sea Pipe Statue]] is the first true boss battle for [[Bowser]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', although Bowser must [[Vacuum Block|inhale]] the Stone Blooper on the statue for Mario and Luigi to battle it inside [[Bowser's body|his body]]. Two Blooper sub-species called [[Dried Blooper]]s and [[Bubble Blooper]]s are also encountered in the [[Pump Works]] in Bowser's body. These enemies are dependent of the water levels in Bowser's body. Bubble Bloopers, encountered when Bowser drinks water, attack by rolling or bouncing. If Bowser stops drinking water, Bubble Bloopers become Dried Bloopers. Dried Bloopers attack Mario and Luigi by floating into them. They also have nearly identical stats to each other, with the exception of the [[speed]] stat.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', unused sprites of regular Bloopers exist in the game's files, implying they would've been enemies for the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode of the game.

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
[[File:MLDTBlooper.png|frame|left]]
Although Bloopers do not appear as standalone enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', a new common enemy called a [[Bloopurn]] is found in [[Dreamy Driftwood Shore]]. It attacks by sending three Bloopers that move toward Mario, which can be dodged or countered with a hammer, depending on its attack. Bowser also mentions how [[Antasma]] sounds like a "beached Blooper" in [[Dream's Deep]] ("beached Bloopurn" in the British English version).

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
A Blooper appears on Bowser's extra [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]], alongside [[Bowser]], a [[Goomba]], a [[Koopa Troopa]], a [[Spiny]], a [[Hammer Bro]] and a [[Koopa Paratroopa]], in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. A Blooper is also mentioned by a [[Lakitu]] in the [[Lakitu Info Center]] that survived three days in a desert.

====''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''====
A reef that resembles a Blooper named the [[Rare reef#Lushgreen Sea|Squiddish Reef]] can be found in the [[Lushgreen Sea]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]''. When it is discovered and [[Issa Rock]] is informed of it, she builds a replica of the reef on [[Shipshape Island]].

===''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix''===
Bloopers do not appear in ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'', but two of their variants do, [[Big Blooper]] and [[Blooper Baby|mini-Blooper]]s.

===''Super Princess Peach''===
[[File:SPPBlooper.png|frame]]

{{br}}

===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart DS''====
Bloopers are items in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. Bloopers can be obtained from 3rd to 6th place, and CPUs and players also obtain them in 2nd place in VS races. When used, a Blooper creates a large ink blot of all players in front of the user, obstructing players' view temporarily and causing CPU characters to swerve around and drive slowly on courses. More ink restricts a player's view the higher ranked they are. If the Blooper is used while in first place, only the user's view is blocked. The ink can be removed prematurely by using either a [[Dash Mushroom]], a [[Super Star]], a [[Boo]], or a [[Bullet Bill]], as well as from driving on a [[Dash Panel]].

====''Mario Kart Wii''====
[[File:MKW Blooper.png|thumb|Mario getting sprayed by a Blooper in [[Luigi Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Luigi Circuit]]]]
Bloopers are items in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. Bloopers can be obtained from 4th to 9th place, and CPUs can also obtain them in 10th place in VS races. Racers in 6th and 7th place have a 7.5 percent chance of obtaining a Blooper, a higher possibility than any of the other rankings. Bloopers are unobtainable for the first fifteen seconds of a race, and using a Blooper requires at least fifteen seconds to pass before another can be obtained. The Blooper was changed from the previous game to take longer to squirt ink. Only one Blooper can be in play at a time, similarly to a [[Thunder Cloud]], [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]], [[Bullet Bill]], [[POW Block]], or a [[Lightning]]. Besides the item, the [[Super Blooper (kart)|Super Blooper]] kart is based on a Blooper.

====''Mario Kart 7''====
Bloopers are items in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. Bloopers can be obtained from 4th to 6th place, and CPUs can also obtain them in 7th place in VS races. A Blooper is also one of the items part of the [[Lucky Seven]]; if another driver touches the Blooper, the Blooper briefly obstructs their view from a single blot of ink. The Blooper part of the Lucky Seven leaves an ink trail of bubbles if it rotates around the player while [[Underwater driving|underwater]].

====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
[[File:MK8-Line-Luigi-Blooper.gif|thumb|left|[[LINE]] sticker of Luigi getting sprayed by a Blooper]]
Bloopers are items in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. They can be obtained when the player is 3300 to 5500 units away from whoever is in first place. A change from before is that Bloopers cause affected racers to have move slippery handling and [[drift]]ing, though CPUs do not swerve from side to side like before. A Blooper can be eaten by a [[Potted Piranha Plant|Piranha Plant]]. A Blooper's ink can be washed away if players enter water or use a [[Cape Feather|Feather]]. A Blooper is part of the [[Crazy Eight]] item. Besides the item, a Blooper-like shuttle circles around [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 8)|Rainbow Road]], and it is also the track's stamp.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', after a Blooper squirts ink onto the screen, the player can wipe it off themselves by dragging their finger on the touch screen. Dash Panel and Mushroom boosts can also get rid of the ink like in previous games, in addition to [[Mini-Turbo]]s and [[Jump Boost]]s. In addition, the Super Blooper kart returns in this game. A new golden variant known as the [[Gold Blooper]] also debuts in this game while a kart based on the Blooper space shuttles in ''Mario Kart 8'''s Rainbow Road also appears called the [[Blooper Shuttle]]. The Lucky Seven also returns in the game as the [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special item]] of various characters. The player can now repel a Blooper with the [[Super Horn]], which will reward the player with points.

The following gliders in ''Mario Kart Tour'' increase the chance of getting Bloopers and points for hitting racers with one.

Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', both having it as obtainable randomly in any of the single-player modes. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', a Novice class Shield-type primary {{iw|smashwiki|primary spirit}} of a Blooper appears, and when equipped, the fighter's weight is reduced, increasing their speed but making them easier to launch. In {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode: World of Light}}, the [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] can be found in {{iw|smashwiki|The Light Realm}}.

Its skill is to immediately eliminate [[virus]]es of the most common color, even those that require multiple matches or are contained inside objects such as [[floatie virus]]es or viruses in [[barrel]]s respectively. Its skill is similar to [[Kamek|Dr. Kamek]], but less viruses are eliminated. This skill is represented by the Blooper swimming up and leaving behind ink spots, after which the affected viruses will be covered in ink. In stage mode, the amount is up to two of them, while in versus the amount is 2, 4, 6, 9 and 12 for levels 1 to 5 respectively, with the skill meter charging faster at level 4 and even faster at level 5. If there are less viruses or an equal amount of viruses than the skill clears, it will remove every virus of that color. In versus mode, there is a slight delay between the skill's usage and the execution. If no viruses are found in the area while this skill is used, this skill does nothing.
