:::::When Paper Mario was made, the name was changed to Blooper. All previous instances refered to this species as Bloober. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]
Conformed, It was first refered to as Blooper in Papaer Mario and has kept the name since, Bloober was mainly used in Super Mario Brothers Deluxe.
:::::"Bloober" was how it appeared in the instruction manual to SMB and, IIRC, certain other sources (perhaps including games). "Blooper" predates Paper Mario by a number of years -- it's attested as far back as a 1989 Diamond Sticker Activity Album. It also appeared with a bit more official cachet in the 1993 SMAS Player's Guide, and probably many other sources I do not have. --[[User:Toadstool Forever|Toadstool Forever]] 01:01, 23 March 2007 (EDT)
::::::It was still called Bloober in SMB3's instruction manual.  The official strategy guide which came out the same year (1990) called them Bloopers.--[[User:Platform|Platform]] 22:29, 21 September 2011 (EDT)

==Correction==
The article said that Blooper was the first mandatory boss in Paper Mario 2.  Actually, Lord Crump served that role.  Just wanted to say that I corrected that.

==Yoshi's Island==
In Yoshis Island there are an octopus soecies, that looks similar to Bloopers. Are they Bloopers, or a new enemy? - [[User: Ultimatetoad]]

== Expand ==

I think this article needs major expansion since its first appearance on super mario bros.{{User:Fg/sig}}
==WRONG NAME?==
aren't the "land bloopers" from SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE called Goopers? [[User:Lu-igi board|Lu-igi board]] 18:43, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

No, they are still called Bloopers. Unless you meant the boss [[Gooper Blooper]]. {{User:Knife/sig}} 19:01, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

== Bloober/Blooper ==
I know that thoses ennemies were called Bloobers and that they are now called Bloopers. But in the "Super Mario Bros." section (and also in others sections) we call them Bloopers while they were currently know as Bloobers. And if you tell me that because the current name is Blooper we must call them Bloopers, why in the "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!" section (and also in others sections) we call them Bloobers ?. We should either call them Blooper everywhere, or call them by the name they were know as by the time. (I don't know if you understood me) {{User:Banon/sig}}

:I think that it should first acknowledge the early name in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' section and the next few sections where they are known as Bloobers, and then call them Bloopers thereafter. As an example, Princess Peach was given the early name "Princess Toadstool" in the original ''Super Mario Bros.'', and [[Princess Peach#Super Mario Bros.|the section]] informs the reader of this. It then calls her "Toadstool" in the rest of the section, and the next few sections until ''Super Mario 64'', where she is known as "Peach". I think the Blooper article can take a similar approach.

==Surfing Blooper==
{{SettledTPP}}
{{ProposalOutcome|green|split 9-3}}
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' in Ricco Harbor to appear [http://i.ytimg.com/vi/xLOQOIkbj1M/0.jpg three colored Bloopers] who Mario can ride for ottenure two [[Shine Sprites]].  Since they are the important character I would say to create a page dedicated to them. 
P.S. These Bloopers not have an official name so I think if you decide to create the page should add the [[Template:Conjecture]].

#{{User|Sonic98}} Per proposal.

#{{User|NSY}} Per proposer
#{{User|ThePremiumYoshi}} - Per all.
#{{User|YoshiKong}} Per proposal. They are different from normal Bloopers, so they deserve their own article. A note to the opposers: saying that they don't have a name is not a valid stance in my opinion. A notable subject with no official name deserves an article as much as an officially-name one does. See [[MarioWiki:Conjecture|the policy]].
#{{User|Blue CosmicToad}} Per BowserJunior's comments.
#{{User|Aokage}} Per YoshiKong.
#{{User|Mariotime11}} Per YoshiKong.
#{{User|KoopaGuy}} per Yoshi Kong.

====Oppose====
#{{User|King Pikante}} I think that it's crazy to have an article about two different colored Bloopers. Why? We don't even know their names and even though they maybe are important to get a Shine Sprite, there are also some other things that are important to get a star and they don't have an article. We just don't have enough info to make an article about them. If it would be created, there would be no real purpose for the article. If the same Bloopers maybe appeared in another game or stage, I would support this proposal, but they don't, so it is useless.
#{{User|MortonBoo99}} Per King Pikante and my comment.  I mean after all, they're Bloopers.  They don't have different names.
#{{User|YoshiFan1200}} Per King Pikante.

====Comments====
[[User:King Pikante]] Thinking like you did by following this logic the page [[Bowser's Claw]] would be useless so if that page there I think it could be even a page on colored Bloopers of Super Mario Sunshine. --[[User:Sonic98|Sonic98]] ([[User talk:Sonic98|talk]]) 12:37, 12 February 2013 (EST)

Yes, Sonic98, but Bowser's claw is a separate object that has a name. The colored Bloopers are the exact same species as Bloopers AND they don't have a name. Bowser's Claw deserves it's own article because it is totally different than any other things in the mario series, while the colored bloopers are probably normal Bloopers with goop on them. Plus, Bowser's claw has a name.--[[User:King Pikante|King Pikante]] ([[User talk:King Pikante|talk]]) 16:35, 12 February 2013 (EST)

In fact they are real characters, you want a link to a video here you see these Bloopers so maybe you know what I mean?.--[[User:Sonic98|Sonic98]] ([[User talk:Sonic98|talk]]) 12:25, 13 February 2013 (EST)

Do they talk? Are they a different species? Do they have a name? Answer me that, and if all three questions have the answer yes, then I will support. They are not characters because they don't talk and don't have a name. --[[User:King Pikante|King Pikante]] ([[User talk:King Pikante|talk]]) 13:15, 13 February 2013 (EST)

:King Pikante, Bowser's Claw is unnamed.  These Bloopers act very differently from the other bloopers in the game and are needed to get three shines, so I'm supporting this.  Also, if we have pages for [[Fluzzard Gliding]] and [[Bubble Blowing]], we should have one for blooper surfing as well.--[[User:BowserJunior|BowserJunior]] [[User talk:BowserJunior|(<small>Talk</small>)]] 18:09, 13 February 2013 (EST)

::Guys, ''he is not'' going to create a page for each color, just one [[Surfing Blooper]] page.--[[User:BowserJunior|BowserJunior]] [[User talk:BowserJunior|(<small>Talk</small>)]] 00:33, 14 February 2013 (EST)

These Bloopers are important because, like BowserJunior said, they are NEEDED for three shines in the game. My only concern is that there might not not be enough to write about the Bloopers, and then the article might be a stub. --[[User:Mariotime11|Mariotime11]] ([[User talk:Mariotime11|talk]]) 10:12, 16 February 2013 (EST)

:Articles are not stubs if there isn't a lot of information on the subject, only if they can be expanded. And of course, official names are '''not''' points for article qualification.--{{User|BowserJunior}}

:From what I've heard from this proposal, these Bloopers play a minor role in the game.  Even though other characters in other games play minor roles, these Bloopers play such a small role, I don't think they should have even 1 seperate article on the Surfing Bloopers.  [[User:MortonBoo99]]

Not trying to sound mean or anything, but the Bloopers in Sunshine may play a small role, but it is a very important one. THEY HELP MARIO GET THREE SHINE SPRITES, so if it wasn't for them, you would be three Shines short of completing the game.

Well, on this page there is a mention of [[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels|Super Mario Bros. 2]], but  all other mentions of that game mention it as '''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.'''

:Well...I'd say split, but the "flying out of water" function was adopted by normal bloopers in almost every game after TLL, and it's considered the same sprite in-game, so I'd say keep them merged. [[User:Somethingone|Somethingone]] ([[User talk:Somethingone|talk]]) 12:23, December 26, 2021 (EST)

== separate sky blooper from normal blooper ==
{{talk}}
First, the sky bloopers have a pink color, they are differentiated from the normal bloopers by being formally recognized as the variant that flies

Furthermore, the fact that the bloopers fly has only been a video game resource since or else we could also say that the color splash cheep cheep or the cheep cheep and urchin from paper jam can also fly.

In fact we have only seen floating non-flying bloopers, again this could again be a video game resource but this is more credible due to the current presentations of the bloopers

already ending, the same Mario Portal sees them as separate enemies[[User:Sorbetti|Sorbetti]] ([[User talk:Sorbetti|talk]])

: Only problem is, as pointed out above, the flying out of function was adopted by normal Bloopers in almost every game since TLL. [[User:PrincessPeachFan|PrincessPeachFan]] ([[User talk:PrincessPeachFan|talk]]) 10:55, March 6, 2025 (EST)
::Have we actually seen bloopers fly outside of Mario Maker and Paper Mario? (in which case all the water enemies "fly")[[User:Sorbetti|Sorbetti]] ([[User talk:Sorbetti|talk]])
:::There's also the Mario Kart series Blooper item, but that's still far from "almost every game". Also, no? Cheep Cheeps don't fly in those games. They jump in Mario Maker and flop around on land in Paper Mario. That said, I think a split could make sense. Just because the ability to fly is adopted by regular Bloopers in some games doesn't mean otherwise, I'd say. Many games have Lakitus with fishing poles, but Fishin' Lakitus are still a different thing. And those don't even have a color difference to distinguish them.

:The only difference Sky Bloopers have from regular Bloopers is that their colors are different, but this trait is shared with most other enemies in ''Super Mario Bros'' and ''Lost Levels.''

::their "only difference" is that while the bloopers are aquatic, the sky bloopers are from the sky, also the flying bloopers is a game resource, also used with other fish like cheeps cheeps in Paper jam as well as urchin, although I think that the bloopers can float, it is far from flying as such, that is what the sky bloopers are for, exclusive to the sky[[User:Sorbetti|Sorbetti]] ([[User talk:Sorbetti|talk]])
