'''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.]]


'''Graffiti''', also known as '''Goop''' or "Razamataz", is a thick, slimy residue that [[Mario]] is forced to clean up with the help of [[F.L.U.D.D.]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. There are many types of Graffiti found within the game. Some are helpful, while most are detrimental and cause various adverse effects if they are touched by Mario. Many types of Graffiti can sink [[Pianta]]s, [[Noki]]s, trees, and even large structures, completely underground. There are also a number of Goop [[enemies]] encountered throughout the game, including [[Polluted Piranha Plant]]s and [[Swoopin' Stu]]s. Polluted Piranha Plants appear from the center of [[Goop Generator]]s that have been sprayed with water, while Swoopin' Stus can be spawned at random from Goop Generators, along with Common Graffiti, Electric Graffiti, and Lava Graffiti. In the game, [[Bowser Jr.]] (under the guise of [[Shadow Mario]]) creates most of the Graffiti using his [[Magic Paintbrush]].
Numerous varieties of goop have appeared, largely in ''Super Mario Sunshine'':
*[[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''


==Types of Graffiti==
==History==
==={{conjecturaltext|Color Portal|Graffiti type}}===
===''Super Mario'' series===
[[File:SMSunshine RainbowGoop.png|thumb|An "M"-shaped Color Portal, painted by Shadow Mario.]]
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
Color Portals are rainbow "M"-shaped logos used to transport Mario or Bowser Jr. to other parts of [[Isle Delfino]], and are found only in [[Delfino Plaza]]. The first was painted by Shadow Mario to escape Mario after he foiled his first attempt to kidnap [[Princess Peach]] in Delfino Plaza. This one was painted on the base of the [[Grand Pianta Statue]], and leads to [[Bianco Hills]]. Two more Color Portals can be found on the side of the [[Boathouse]] (leading to [[Ricco Harbor]]) and on the front of the Lighthouse (leading to [[Gelato Beach]]). These Color Portals appear only after the Polluted Piranha Plants covering the buildings have been defeated. All Mario has to do is squirt water on a Color Portal to activate it (after which it becomes a window to its corresponding stage), then jump into it. The Goop that comprises the Color Portals is also found inside two red [[Warp Pipe]]s: one on top of a building located behind the Grand Pianta Statue (where it is plugged up by a large [[Pineapple]] at the beginning of the game), and one on top of the [[Shine Gate]]. These Warp Pipes provide access to [[Sirena Beach]] and [[Pianta Village]] respectively. [[Pinna Park]] and [[Noki Bay]] are the only levels that aren't accessed via Color Portals. When Mario uses one of the three Color Portals, he is fragmented into multiple particles before entering, though he's always reassembled again at the start of the level.
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.


==={{conjecturaltext|Wall Graffiti|Graffiti type}}===
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."
[[File:SMSunshine PaintGoop.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Shadow Mario's "M" signature.]]
Wall Graffiti is the main type of Graffiti that Shadow Mario uses throughout the game. As implied by the name, it is usually painted on walls, though it also appears on other flat surfaces. The Magic Paintbrush has a seemingly endless supply of it, and 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 is also a "raw" form which Shadow Mario uses to paint his infamous "M" signature. Along with Shadow Mario's signature, there are also painted symbols that come in pairs. The symbols that appear are "△", "O", and "☓". Wall Graffiti is most often colored red, though green Wall Graffiti appears in Ricco Harbor, and black Wall Graffiti was used to deface the [[Shine Statue]], as well as the bells inside Delfino Plaza's two belltowers. When Wall Graffiti is sprayed long enough, it will be completely cleaned off the wall. After it's cleaned off, a [[Blue Coin]] will be released for Mario to collect. In the case of paired symbols, when one symbol is cleaned off, the Blue Coin appears next to its matching symbol, and vice versa. If Mario doesn't collect the Blue Coin in time, it will disappear, and the Graffiti he cleaned off will reappear. He must then backtrack and clean it off a second time to make the Blue Coin appear once again. Mario will earn a [[Shine Sprite]] for cleaning the Graffiti off the Shine Statue and each of the two bells.


There is also Ink Goop on the wall near the crates where [[Gooper Blooper]] is fought for the first time in Ricco Harbor. It can't be washed off, but it doesn't hurt Mario. The Goop leaks out of the crates Gooper Blooper is in and runs down the wall and into the water, making it a type of Poisonous Water.
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.


Another type of Wall Graffiti appears during [[Noki Bay#Episode 1: Uncork the Waterfall|Episode 1]] of Noki Bay. This Graffiti is pink, yellow, orange, and white, and several blotches of it are positioned at intervals along a tall cliff face near the starting point of the level. These Goop blotches are shaped like various things relating to the sea, including a squid, a sailboat, a dolphin, a whale, an octopus, and a bird. This Graffiti can be cleaned off by Mario, but it can't hurt him. As Mario cleans the blotches off, platforms of varying sizes appear out of the cliff face, which he can then use to climb upward. Mario must clean off all of this Wall Graffiti in order to reach the cork plugging the waterfall, where he has to defeat a [[Monty Mole]] in order to finish the episode.
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.
{{BoxTop}}


==={{conjecturaltext|Forcefield|Graffiti type}}===
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.
[[File:SMSunshine YellowGoop.jpg|right|frame|A Forcefield blocking a Warp Pipe.]]
Undulating Forcefields block access to [[items]], prevent Warp Pipes from being entered, and damage Mario on contact. These Forcefields can only be dissolved by [[Yoshi Juice]] spat from a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. Forcefields have a zigzag shape and undulate when Mario approaches them. There are only six Forcefields in the game.


Forcefield locations:
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.

==={{conjecturaltext|Common Graffiti|Graffiti type}}===
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>

The most common variant of Graffiti is tar-like Goop used to slicken the ground and make Mario slip and slide. If Mario stands on Goop for too long, he'll sustain damage every few seconds (the amount of damage sustained depends on the type of Goop). It also dirties and sticks to his clothes, which can cleaned by [[Spin Jump]]ing or swimming in clean water. This variety of Graffiti is found almost everywhere. Some enemies release it, while others are infused with it. It's found in many colors, and is easily confusable with Lava Graffiti and Electric Graffiti. Goop Generators are commonly paired with this type of Graffiti.
====''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
While regular goop does not appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', [[graffiti]] and a new variant called [[splotchy goop]] do.


There are 3 different types:
===''Mario Golf'' series===
*Graffiti that's pink, yellow, orange, and white, which appears in [[Delfino Airstrip]] and [[Noki Bay]].
[[File:MGAT Mushroom Course Green 13.png|thumb|left|''Mario Golf: Advance Tour'']]
*Brown and white Graffiti, which appears in Delfino Plaza and Bianco Hills. [[Petey Piranha]] launches this type of Graffiti from his mouth.
[[File:PeteyPiranhaDoubleBogey.png|thumb|Petey Piranha with some goop in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'']]
*Black Graffiti, which appears in Delfino Plaza, [[Ricco Harbor]], and Noki Bay. [[Gooper Blooper]] and other [[Blooper]]s can produce this goop.
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.
{{BoxTop}}


==={{conjecturaltext|Electric Graffiti|Graffiti type}}===
===''Mario Power Tennis''===
[[File:SMSunshine ElectricGoop.jpg|left|thumb|Smaller versions of Phantamanta, leaving Electric Graffiti in their wake.]]
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]].
Electric Graffiti, as its name states, is Goop infused with electricity. Its color consists of a mixture of aquamarine and yellow, and it has electricity visibly surging from it. This type of Graffiti is found only in Sirena Beach. When Mario touches this Goop, it will damage and briefly stun him. Touching it will also cause Mario's colors to be inverted momentarily. Because of their thick soles, Piantas are unharmed by the Goop, but can sink into it. Nokis are unharmed by the Goop as well, though they will sink into it. In [[Sirena Beach#Episode 1: The Manta Storm|Episode 1]] of Sirena Beach, [[Phantamanta]] covers a large portion of the beach in Electric Goop, causing [[Hotel Delfino]] to become stuck underground. After Mario defeats Phantamanta, the Goop disappears and the hotel rises back out of the ground. The Electric Goop reappears in [[Sirena Beach#Episode 6: Scrubbing Sirena Beach|Episode 6]], where it's shaped like a smiling [[Boo]] and covers most of the beach in front of Hotel Delfino. Mario has to clean all the Goop off the beach within three minutes to earn a Shine Sprite.

==={{conjecturaltext|Fire Graffiti|Graffiti type}}===
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
[[File:SMSunshine ChainChomplet.jpg|thumb|A Chain Chomplet near some Fire Goop.]]
[[File:Shadow Mario Paint Wii U.jpg|thumb|The goop created by Shadow Mario Paint in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
Fire Graffiti is [[Lava]]-like Goop found only in Pianta Village. It is orange red in color, and releases a spurt of flame every now and then. This type of Goop burns Mario on contact and sends him flying upward, just like coming in contact with fire, hot objects or explosions. Thus, if Mario gets caught in the middle of a large quantity of this Goop, he will likely lose a [[Extra Life|life]] or sustain heavy damage, as he'll have nowhere else to go after flying upward and falling back downward again. In [[Pianta Village#Episode 1: Chain Chomplets Unchained|Episode 1]], this Goop is produced by feverish [[Chain Chomplet]]s. The Goop reappears in [[Pianta Village#Episode 3: The Goopy Inferno|Episode 3]], where it covers almost the entire level and Mario must save the [[Pianta Village Mayor|Mayor]] from the fiery inferno. [[Coo Coo]]s fly around and drop Fire Goop during this episode. The Goop is also present in [[Pianta Village#Episode 6: Piantas in Need|Episode 6]], where Mario has to rescue ten Piantas that are stuck in small puddles of it. In [[Pianta Village#Episode 7: Shadow Mario Runs Wild|Episode 7]], Shadow Mario leaves a trail of Fire Goop behind him as he runs.
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.
{{BoxTop}}


==={{conjecturaltext|Poisonous Water|Graffiti type}}===
===''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''===
[[File:SMSunshine WaterGoop.jpg|left|thumb|Noki Bay filled with 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.
{{main|Poisoned Water}}
Poisonous Water is Goop-polluted water that depletes one section of Mario's [[Health Meter]] about every two seconds that he is in it. It only affects him while he's on the surface of the water, and doesn't hurt him while under the water. Poisonous Water appears in three areas in the game: [[Bianco Hills#Episode 6: The Secret of the Dirty Lake|Episode 6]] of Bianco Hills, Episodes [[Ricco Harbor#Episode 1: Gooper Blooper Breaks Out|1]]-[[Ricco Harbor#Episode 5: Gooper Blooper Returns|5]] of Ricco Harbor, and Episodes [[Noki Bay#Episode 1: Uncork the Waterfall|1]]-[[Noki Bay#Episode 4: Eely-Mouth's Dentist|4]] of Noki Bay. The color and type of Poisonous Water varies with the level in which it is encountered. In Bianco Hills, brownish Goop covers the surface of the lake around the [[Big Windmill]], making it poisonous. Ricco Harbor's Poisonous Water comes from large quantities of black Goop that cover the surface of clean water in several areas. Noki Bay's translucent purple Poisonous Water came about as a result of [[Eely-Mouth]]'s gingivitis.
{{BoxTop}}


==={{conjecturaltext|Tub Slime|Graffiti type}}===
===''WarioWare Gold''===
[[File:Bowsersunshine65.jpg|thumb|Bowser surrounded by Tub Slime in his hot tub.]]
Brown-and-white goop has to be cleaned off a building in the [[Super Mario Sunshine (microgame)|Super Mario Sunshine]] [[microgame]] in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]''.
Tub Slime is poisonous Goop that is green in color, has a jelly-like consistency, and is searing hot. It essentially has the same properties as Lava Goop, but unlike Lava Goop, it cannot be removed or washed away, and does not appear anywhere else in the game. [[Bowser]] and Bowser Jr. are found soaking in Tub Slime in a giant floating hot tub at the top of [[Corona Mountain]]. They both remain in this Goop for the duration of the final battle. During the battle, Bowser sometimes [[Ground Pound]]s the hot tub to splash the Tub Slime on Mario and damage him. There appears to be a unlimited amount of Tub Slime in the hot tub; when Bowser tilts the tub, most of it falls out, but the supply is immediately replenished. After Mario Ground Pounds all five sections that branch off from the hot tub, the entire hot tub tips over, and all of the Tub Slime falls out of it into Corona Mountain. The large Shine Sprite that was trapped in the Tub Slime is also set free.
{{BoxTop}}


===[[Glorpedo]]es===
===''Dr. Mario World''===
Glorpedoes are spiny balls of Goop that are pink, yellow, orange, and white in color and appear only in Episode 1 of Noki Bay. They are shot by a Monty Mole from a Cannon positioned atop the large cork plugging up the waterfall. Mario will sustain damage if one runs into him. When Mario sprays them with water, they will grow in size. If sprayed long enough, they will explode, sometimes leaving behind a [[Water Bottle]] that Mario can collect to refill some of F.L.U.D.D.'s water. A Glorpedo will shrink back to its normal size if Mario doesn't continue spraying it. Glorpedoes will also explode if Mario [[jump]]s directly on top of them. After being fired from the Cannon, Glorpedoes roll along a set path all the way down the large cliff, trailing Common Graffiti behind them. They explode into Common Graffiti when they reach the end of their path.
Dr. Petey Piranha uses goop to destroy [[virus]]es during his special skill animation in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''.

Goop appears in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' as an obstacle on the [[Delfino Plaza Court]]. 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]].

“As you are no doubt aware, someone has been senselessly defacing fair Isle Delfino using some paint-like substance. The accused is charged with polluting our beautiful home and yes, endangering our very way of life. Indeed, how can one not be aware of what is going on? Though it is daytime in Delfino Plaza, our poor residents tremble beneath a veil of darkness. Expert Shine scholars have determined that this darkness has arisen because all of our guardians, the Shine Sprites, have vanished from their gathering spot at the Shine Gate. The reason? It's quite obvious. This horrible graffiti is to blame!”
—Pianta prosecutor, Super Mario Sunshine

Goop, also known as graffiti (though this more properly refers to a variety of goop that is painted on walls), gunk,[1] or sludge,[2] 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:

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Sunshine[edit]

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 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. Piranhabons are similarly covered in it, and Plurps 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 Bloopers 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-jumping or swimming 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."

Goop regularly spawns Goobles, 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.

Goop can trap many friendly characters, including Piantas, Nokis, 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.

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.

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.

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' Stus, 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 Cataquacks and King Boo. The Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia confirmed that the enemies and Yoshis in Super Mario Sunshine are created from Bowser Jr.'s graffiti.[3]

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]

While regular goop does not appear in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, graffiti and a new variant called splotchy goop do.

Mario Golf series[edit]

Goop appears in two games of the Mario Golf series. In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Petey Piranha spits up brown-and-white goop when he gets a 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[edit]

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 Shots, Sludge Racket and Piranha Swingback.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Goop appears as part of Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings' Final Smash, Shadow Mario Paint, in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / 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[edit]

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 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.

WarioWare Gold[edit]

Brown-and-white goop has to be cleaned off a building in the Super Mario Sunshine microgame in WarioWare Gold.

Dr. Mario World[edit]

Dr. Petey Piranha uses goop to destroy viruses during his special skill animation in Dr. Mario World.
