'''[[Blooper]]s''' (often referred to as '''Bloobers''' until ''[[Paper Mario]]'', though Blooper was occasionally used beforehand) are small, squid-like creatures encountered in bodies of water and a recurring enemy species of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Bloopers first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Bloopers are usually depicted as white squids with a black, mask-like marking on their face. A typical Blooper has ten arms, of which only two are typically used as such, although Bloopers can have more or less appendages. While most Bloopers lack actual squid tentacles, large Bloopers are sometimes shown with them, sometimes in great amounts. Some Bloopers can squirt ink from between their arms, while in other appearances, they are depicted squirting ink from a small mouth located near the eyes. Along with swimming through water, Bloopers have a variety of abilities, such as flying, being able to survive outside of water, burrowing in the ground, shooting globs of ink, and blasting opponents with energy beams. Bloopers can also leap from the water and charge into [[Mario]] and other characters. Their name comes from "bloop", an onomatopoeia for the sound of bubbles breaching the surface of water, acknowledged by how Bloopers use high-pitched warbling to communicate.
'''[[Skewer]]s''' (also known as '''Spikes''' and '''Spike Pillars''') are gray, blue, black or green metallic pillars with spikes on them, serving as major, indestructible course obstacles. They primarily appear in castle and tower levels, usually later in the game, with some exceptions. First appearing in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', their attack patterns are moving in a single direction, either vertically or horizontally, and they can either power-down [[Mario]] if they touch him or crush him for an instant life loss. In ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'' and later titles, however, the Skewers can only power-down Mario. Unlike some other obstacles of the same manner, Mario can run through them if he is invincible or is undergoing post-damage invincibility frames.

Super Mario Maker (New Super Mario Bros. U style) Skewer

Skewers (also known as Spikes and Spike Pillars) are gray, blue, black or green metallic pillars with spikes on them, serving as major, indestructible course obstacles. They primarily appear in castle and tower levels, usually later in the game, with some exceptions. First appearing in Super Mario World, their attack patterns are moving in a single direction, either vertically or horizontally, and they can either power-down Mario if they touch him or crush him for an instant life loss. In Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 and later titles, however, the Skewers can only power-down Mario. Unlike some other obstacles of the same manner, Mario can run through them if he is invincible or is undergoing post-damage invincibility frames.
