The following are enemies that were once officially split, but no longer are except in cases where the old games are referenced. We currently do not split them, but here is a demo for how we could.

==Sky Blooper==

'''Sky Bloopers'''<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|accessdate=August 13, 2022|language=English|archive=archive.today/2022.08.13-143518/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/smb2/?lang=en}}</ref> are an airborne type of [[Blooper|Bloober]] found in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' and its [[reissue]]s. They use the exact same programmed object as the game's normal Bloobers, but as they are found above water, they swim through the air and can be [[stomp]]ed. Due to sharing a palette with [[Goomba]]s and similar entities, they typically appear in a tan color, though they also appear in [[World 8-4 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 8-4]] with the white-and-gray coloration used for castle levels.

In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', they are all pink, as with normal Bloobers, as there is no longer any palette switching between underwater and land levels in favor of using a blue filter for water.

[[File:SMB Underground Blooper.png|frame|left]]
In the [[Minus World]] in the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', Bloobers can spawn in a cave stage (making them be colored blue), functioning similar to Sky Bloopers. Additionally, in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and its follow-ups, Bloopers act similar if placed in a non-water level, though they are not differentiated in any way.

'''OkaP''' are enemies in ''[[All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros.]]'' taking the place of [[Goomba|Little Goomba]]s. They are a form taken by Japanese DJ Sunplaza Nakano after [[Bowser]] lured him into visiting him and cursed him. Their name is derived from Sunplaza Nakano's theme song in ''All Night Nippon''. They are one of two enemy replacements in the game (both by Sunplaza Nanako), the other being [[Pakkun OkaP]].

'''Upside-down Piranhas''', also referred to as '''Upside Down (Headstand) Pakkun''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Land'' instruction booklet|page=13|date=1989|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> '''Reverse Pakkun'''<ref>{{cite|date=1991|title=Nintendo ''Game Boy'' Player's Guide|page=5|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> and '''Upside-down Piranha Plant''',<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/land/?lang=en|title=English ''Super Mario Land'' entry on the official Mario Portal|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|language=en|archive=archive.is/2022.08.13-142305/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/land/?lang=en}}</ref> are a type of [[Piranha Plant]] that appear in downward-facing [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s in [[Sarasaland]], granting 400 points when defeated rather than the usual 100. Although downward-facing Piranha Plants are found in many games (including being the only normal Piranha Plants in ''[[Super Mario World]]''), they are only consistently treated as a distinct enemy in the context of ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', though "Hanging Piranha Plant" was once used by [[Nintendo Power]] in coverage for ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.<ref>{{cite|author=Tilden, Gail, et al.|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13|page=9|date=June 1990|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> Additionally, they never grant extra points in other games.

[[File:SML Sprite Upside-down Piranha Plant.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Upside-down Piranhas are mentioned briefly by [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] during [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for [[Piranha Plant#Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Piranha Plant]]. Unlike most in the list which are given in their order of first appearance, they are listed near the very end, coming after the ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' Piranha Plant types and before the [[Petey Piranha]] variations.

They walk forward until [[Mario]] walks near under one, at which point it falls and spins in his direction in its upside-down [[Buzzy Shell|shell]]. They appear in {{world-link|2|pyramid|World 2-Pyramid}} and [[World 4-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 4-3]].

Later games starting with ''[[Paper Mario]]'' give the Upside-down Buzzy Beetles' properties to normal Buzzy Beetles as an alternate behavior, rather than treating them as a distinct type of enemy.

Unlike the Blooper Nannies of [[Water Land]], the Scattering Bloopers are found in [[Ice Land]] and [[Pipe Land]]. Rather than simply have their [[Blooper Baby|babies]] follow them, they have them cluster around the parent when Mario approaches them, then slowly spiraling outward past the edges of the screen. The parent replaces them shortly afterward.

Later games starting with ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' give the Scattering Bloopers' properties to normal Blooper Nannies as their primary behavior, though their original more passive behavior returns in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''.
