'''Goop''', also known as '''graffiti''' (though this more properly refers to a [[Graffiti|variety of goop]] that is painted on walls), '''gunk''',<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=11|date=September 3, 2002|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3961-1}}</ref> or '''sludge''',<ref>''Mario Power Tennis'', in-game name of Petey Piranha's Sludge Racket Power Shot</ref> 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.]]


Numerous varieties of goop have appeared, largely in ''Super Mario Sunshine'':
'''Graffiti''', also known as ''Goop'', is the slimy residue [[Mario]] has to clean in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' with the help of the cleansing [[FLUDD]]. There are many types of Goop and a few are helpful, while most are damaging and can make [[Mario]] slip. Many types can sink islanders, trees, or other structures underground. Most of the Graffiti is made by [[Bowser Jr.]] (A.K.A. [[Shadow Mario]]) and his [[Magic Paintbrush]].
*[[Burning goop]], a fiery orange variant of ordinary goop that appears in [[Pianta Village]]
*[[Electric goop]], a green-and-yellow variant of ordinary goop that appears on [[Sirena Beach]]
*[[Glorpedo]]es, 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 Generator]]s, pulsating masses of orange goop that can be destroyed only by a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]'s [[juice]]-spraying ability
*[[Rainbow M]]s, 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''


==History==
== Types of Graffiti ==
===''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 brush]]. 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]], 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 in which it is encountered:
*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. [[Piranhabon]]s are similarly covered in it, and [[Plurp]]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.
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 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."
=== Color Portal ===
[[Image:SMSunshine_RainbowGoop.jpg|thumb|An M-signature with an imprint of Bianco Hills.]]


Goop regularly spawns [[Gooble]]s, small enemies that seek out and attack Mario when he is nearby, spreading more goop in the process. This does not occur on the Delfino Airstrip.
Rainbowish "[[M]]" logos used to transport Mario or Bowser Jr. to other parts of [[Isle Delfino]] and only found in [[Delfino Plaza]]. The first was painted by Shadow Mario to escape Mario after he foiled his first attempt to kidnap Peach at Delfino Plaza. This one was painted on the [[Great Pianta Statue]], and led to [[Bianco Hills]]. Two more teleporters behind the [[Blue Coin Shop]], and on the Lighthouse (these are found only after the buildings have been saved from their [[Piranha Plant in the Generator]]s. All Mario has to do is squirt water on them to activate them, then go through. The goop that makes up the teleporters is also found inside two red pipes; One on top of the building located near the Great Pianta Statue (where it will be plugged up by a [[pineapple]] at the beginning of th game), and one on top of the [[Shine Gate]]. [[Pinna Park]] and [[Noki Bay]] are the only stages that don't use Color Portals. It is a rainbow color, shaped like an ''M'', and turns into a window to the stage it leads to when approached. When Mario uses one of the three Color Portals, he seems to materialize into particles before entering, but for all modes of level transportation here, he's reassembled again at the stage start. Also, it appears in the pipes that lead to Sirena Beach and Pianta Village.


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.
=== Forcefield ===
[[Image:SMSunshine_YellowGoop.jpg|left|frame|A Forcefield blocking a [[Warp Pipe]].]]


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 on [[Gelato Beach]] as well, which does not contain any goop. Other structures sunk this way can typically be released by defeating a Proto Piranha residing on top of the sunken structure, though in Hotel Delfino's case, [[Phantamanta]] 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.
Undulating Forcefields used to hide items and clog [[Warp Pipe]]s thus preventing Mario from entering and giving him one point of damage on contact. These forcefields can only be dissolved away by [[Yoshi Juice]] spit from a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. There are only six locations of the forcefields; On a small island off the coast of the fruit bazaar located in Delfino Plaza, behind the police station's tower, on a high tower near the cannon to [[Pinna Park]], covering a cage containing a [[Shine Sprite]] in [[Ricco Harbor]], covering a [[Dune Bud]] in [[Gelato Beach]] and on a flat mushroom under [[Pianta Village]]. It has a zigzag-shaped pattern and undulates when Mario approaches.


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 Goobles 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.
=== Pink-and-White, Brown, and Black Graffiti ===
[[Image:Shadow-Mario.jpg|thumb|Shadow Mario creating Goop.]]


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 [[Big Boo (character)|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>An excerpt of page 107 of the Japanese version of the ''Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia'' The title of the box is 「クッパJr.の落書き!」 which means ''The graffiti of Bowser Jr.!'' and the text says 「本作の敵キャラクターたちは、クッパJr.が落書きで生み出したという設定。そのため、水に弱かったり、デザインが他のシリーズと少々異なっていたりする。ヨッシーも、同様の理由で水に落ちると消えてしまう。」 which means ''This game's enemy characters are created by Bowser Jr.'s graffiti. That is why they are weak to water, and differ slightly in design from the rest of the series. Yoshi also vanishes if he falls in water for the same reason.''</ref>
Tar-like Goop used to slicken the ground and make Mario slip and slide. If stood on for too long, Mario takes one point of damage each three to four seconds depending on the type. It also dirties and sticks to his clothes, which can removed by [[Spin Jump]]ing or swimming in clean water. They are found almost everywhere and are the most common Goop. Some enemies release it while others are just infused with it. It is found in many colors and easily confusable with the Lava Goop and Electrogoop. [[Goop Generator]]s are commonly paired with this Goop.

====''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
=== Electro Graffiti ===
While regular goop does not appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', [[graffiti]] and a new variant called [[splotchy goop]] do.
[[Image:SMSunshine_ElectricGoop.jpg|thumb|Smaller versions of Phantamanta dropping '''Electrogoop'''.]]


===''Mario Golf'' series===
Electric infused Goop that gives Mario one point of damage and stuns him for about 3 seconds. It is only released by the [[Phantamanta]] and its silhouettes in [[Hotel Delfino]]. The Goop was sealing the hotel underground and for some reason, doesn't hurt Piantas (or Nokis). Phantamanta appears yet again while Mario is gone, and in Episode 6 Mario had to clean up all the Goop before the timer ran out. It looks like a mixture of green and yellow and has electricity surging from it.
[[File:MGAT Mushroom Course Green 13.png|thumb|left|''Mario Golf: Advance Tour'']]
[[File:PeteyPiranhaDoubleBogey.png|thumb|Petey Piranha with some goop in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'']]
Goop appears in two games of the ''[[Mario Golf (series)|Mario Golf]]'' series. 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.


===''Mario Power Tennis''===
=== Lava Graffiti ===
Brown-and-white goop appears as an obstacle on the [[Delfino Plaza Court]] in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''. 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]].
[[Image:SMSunshine_ChainChomplet.jpg|thumb|left|A Chain Chomplet dropping some '''Lava Goop'''.]]
{{br}}


===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
Lava-like Goop that gives Mario one point of damage on contact and send him flying up, just like regular [[Lava]]. It is only found in [[Pianta Village]] and produced by [[Chain Chomplet]]s. [[Smolderin' Stu]]s and [[Coo Coo]]s also drop it in later Episodes. It also somehow reappears again in Episode 3 in which Mario had to successfully save the Mayor from the fiery inferno. The Goop is also seen in Episode 6 where Mario had to save the [[Pianta]]s stuck under puddles of it. If Mario is caught in the center of a huge puddle of the Goop, he will most likely lose a life or be heavily damaged because of the chain of damage from flying up and landing again in it. It is orange-red and releases a spurt of flame every now and then. Shadow Mario creates it in Shadow Mario Runs Wild as he runs.
[[File:Shadow Mario Paint Wii U.jpg|thumb|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]]'' / ''[[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 brush 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''===
=== Poisonous Water ===
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''. Petey uses his arms to indicate which Mario Bro. he is attacking, then spits goop at him. The Mario Bros. must hang on to [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] until the goop is gone. If they get hit by the goop, they take damage. Alternatively, if they land on it, they run on top of it and slip when it disappears, falling behind and causing Petey to tackle them.
[[Image:SMSunshine_WaterGoop.jpg|left|thumb|The Noki Bay filled with harmful '''Poison Water'''.]]


===''WarioWare Gold''===
Goop polluted water that damages Mario by one point about every two seconds he's in it. Strangely, it only affects him while on the surface of the water and doesn't hurt him when under the water (though if he stays underwater too long, he will drown). There are three locations of Poison Water; In Episode 6 of Bianco Hills, Episodes 1-5 of Ricco Harbor, and the first 4 Episodes in Noki Bay. The colors vary on the the stage in which it is in. Bianco Hills had brownish sick-like colored Poison Water, Ricco Harbor had black oil like Poison Water, and Noki Bay had purple transparent Poison Water.
Brown-and-white goop has to be cleaned off a building in the [[Super Mario Sunshine (microgame)|Super Mario Sunshine]] [[microgame]] in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]''.


===''Dr. Mario World''===
===Wall Graffiti===
Dr. Petey Piranha uses goop to destroy [[virus]]es during his special skill animation in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''.
[[Image:SMSunshine_PaintGoop.jpg|thumb|250px|An image illustrating M-signature '''Graffiti'''.]]


==Gallery==
The main type of Goop that Bowser Jr./Shadow Mario uses. It can be used to create other types of Goop. For example, Shadow Mario is seen painting Color Portals with the Magic Paintbrush, which is tipped with Graffiti. There also is a "raw" form by which Shadow Mario uses to paint his infamous signature. When Graffiti is sprayed and cleaned, they can release a [[Gold Coin]] or a [[Blue Coin]]. There is also a similar Shine Sprite painting that can be found in a few places and release a Shine Sprite when sprayed on long enough. It is invisible at default so it is hard to find. Another type of Graffiti is painted in shapes and only appear in pairs. When one symbol is cleaned, a Blue Coin appears next to another matching symbol and vice-versa. The shapes consist of a triangle, a X, and a circle. It is colored red and is unlimited in supply when on the Magic Paintbrush.

==Names in other languages==
=== Tub Slime ===
{{foreign names
Hot, poisonous Goop that [[Bowser]] and his son, Bowser Jr., bathe in during the final battle. It has the same properties as Lava Goop but unlike the other Goop, it cannot be removed or cleaned. Bowser sometimes [[Ground Pound]]s the tub to splash the Slime on Mario and damage him. There seems to be a unlimited amount of Tub Slime in the tub because when Bowser tilts the tub, most of it falls out but is immediately replenished. Tub Slime is only found in Bowser's bathtub at the top of [[Corona Mountain]]. It has a light green color with a jelly-like texture and is searing hot.
