[[Mario]] can ride on them. Every episode that Blooper Racers appear in is timed. They come in three colors, with each variety having different abilities. Green Bloopers<ref name=Brady>{{cite|author=Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Official Strategy Guide|page=96|publisher=BradyGAMES|language=en-us|isbn=0-7440-0180-3|date=2002}}</ref><ref name=Prima/><ref name=Versus/> are slow and have a tight turning radius, but they travel across land faster than other colors. Yellow Bloopers<ref name=Prima/> have average speed and an average turning radius. Lastly, Purple Bloopers<ref name="Brady"/><ref name=Prima/> (or Pink Bloopers)<ref name=Versus>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide|page=45|language=en-us|date=August 12, 2002|publisher=Versus Books|isbn=1-931886-09-1}}</ref> are fast and have a wide turning radius. 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>{{cite|author=AverageTreyVG|date=August 25, 2023|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDdd-yF-XBI|title=Sunshine's Squid Speedrun Safari|language=en|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=October 30, 2023}}</ref> so the Green Blooper is superior over the other Blooper Racer colors. Mario can dismount a Blooper Racer by running into a [[duck-ring riders|duck-ring rider]], or by landing on the [[nozzle box|Rocket Nozzle box]] or the umbrella near the Blooper Racers.<ref>{{cite|author=Gaming Reinvented|date=September 21, 2020|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BsH8jqztt0|title=How to Stop Blooper Surfing in Super Mario Sunshine (Glitch)|language=en-us|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=May 2, 2023}}</ref> Bumping into an obstacle at top speed causes Mario to lose a life.

In [[Blooper Surfing Safari|Episode 2]] of Ricco Harbor, Mario must complete an obstacle course run by the [[Big Daddy of Blooper-surfing]] in 45 seconds or less while riding on the Blooper Racer of his choice. This is repeated in [[Blooper-Surfing Sequel|Episode 10]], except the time limit is reduced to 40 seconds. In [[Red Coins on the Water|Episode 6]], Mario must ride on a Blooper Racer to get [[Red Coin]]s scattered over the [[water]] within two minutes, because otherwise, he loses a life. It is possible yet very difficult to complete the challenge without a Blooper Racer.<ref>{{cite|author=H the Second|date=November 1, 2020|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z7sups5b4Q|title=Super Mario Sunshine Ricco Harbor Episode 6 {{!}} No blooper racer|language=en|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=April 6, 2021}}</ref>
