The Blooper, referred to as a Big Blooper in its Super Smash Bros. cameos, is the main prologue boss fought in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake.
History[edit]
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]
- “BlooblooblooblooblooBLOOP! (I'll give him a taste of the old tentacle trample!)”
- —Blooper, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
When Mario and Goombella are in Rogueport Underground to find the pipe to Petal Meadows, one of the Blooper's tentacles is blocking the way. Mario has to either hit it with his Hammer or jump on it, angering the Blooper and initiating a battle.
At the start of the battle, it hangs off the ceiling, leaving the player to attack its tentacles. This marks the first game in which a Blooper's tentacles are referred to as such and fought separately. After both the L. Tentacle and R. Tentacle are defeated, the Blooper will fall to the ground and become vulnerable, before standing back up and attacking with its ink.
Following its defeat, the Blooper starts to squirt itself up to the ceiling and crashes, absent for the remainder of the game. However, in the credits of the remake, where it shoots ink at some of Rogueport's residents, causing them to run off.
Normally sized Bloopers also appear in the game during Bowser's post-Chapter 4 intermission, in which he supposedly swallows one by accident.
Super Mario-kun[edit]
Blooper appears during the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door arc in volume 34 of Super Mario-kun. Goombella and Koops encounter the Blooper in Rogueport's sewers while searching for Mario's missing cap, and it appears that the Blooper is wearing it. It refuses to take the cap off because it is going on a date soon, so Goombella and Koops give it a makeover into an exaggerated geisha and trick it into thinking that period dramas are trendy. Happy with its new look, the Blooper runs off to its date, leaving what was actually Luigi's cap behind.
Super Smash Bros. series[edit]
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS[edit]
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, the Blooper, referred to as the Big Blooper, appears in the background of the Paper Mario stage when it changes to the S.S. Flavion. It rocks the boat around, but does not inflict any direct damage to fighters.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Big Blooper returns on the Paper Mario stage with the same name and role as it did previously. Proportionally, it now resembles the contemporary Blooper design rather than the design from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

Field Tattle[edit]
Goombella can use Tattle only on Blooper's exposed tentacle in Rogueport Underground before Mario attacks it.
- "Hmmm... It seems to be almost inviting us to do something, doesn't it? But what? You could jump on it, but you'd totally ruin your shoes, so I'd just hammer it!"
