'''Big Blooper''' is a boss who appeared in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', during Chapter 3-2 (in the [[Tile Pool]]). This gigantic Blooper blocks [[Mario]], [[Bowser]], and [[Peach]] from moving on to [[Fort Francis]]. He has many tentacles of different colors, which serve various purposes: Big Blooper uses the blue tentacles to attack Mario and his allies, while the yellow ones prevent them from moving on. Even Mario's [[Flip]] ability proves useless to escape the huge squid. Every now and then, tentacles will rise from the bottom of the screen, attempting to hurt the player.
Since blue and yellow tentacles cannot be harmed in any way, Bowser must damage Big Blooper by breathing fire at his red tentacles. That said however, one may also defeat him by using [[Thudley]] to [[Ground Pound]] on his red tentacle.

*Big Blooper's appearance theme is a remix of the Underwater background music from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.
*Big Blooper is similar to the [[Blooper]] that appeared in [[Rogueport Sewers]] in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.
*The picture above with [[Peach]] in it was taken from a [[Beta Elements#Super Paper Mario|beta]] version of the game.

This gigantic [[Blooper]] blocks the way through [[the Tile Pool]] and prevents [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]] and [[Bowser]], from moving on to [[Fort Francis]]. There are a few options for offense against it. The player may jump on the tentacles when they are sticking up out of the water. The player may also use [[Thudley]] to ground-pound the tentacles or use Bowser's [[Fire Breath]] to singe them. The fiery-breath may be the safer choice, as the player will lose [[Heart Point]]s if they miss when ground pounding, but it takes longer. Slamming or burning the blue tentacles makes the more-sensitive red tentacles bob upward with more frequency. If [[Mario]] goes into 3D and tries to leave, the Big Blooper's tentacles will block the way.

Defeating Big Blooper does not earn the player any points, and the giant squid is not killed by the encounter. If the player enters the area where the Blooper's tentacles come out of the floor and ceiling, Big Blooper can be tattled using [[Tippi]] or [[Tiptron]].

Big Blooper is a boss who fights the protagonists in Super Paper Mario during Chapter 3-2. Its theme is an arrangement of the underwater music from Super Mario Bros. 3.

This gigantic Blooper blocks the way through the Tile Pool and prevents Mario, Princess Peach and Bowser, from moving on to Fort Francis. There are a few options for offense against it. The player may jump on the tentacles when they are sticking up out of the water. The player may also use Thudley to ground-pound the tentacles or use Bowser's Fire Breath to singe them. The fiery-breath may be the safer choice, as the player will lose Heart Points if they miss when ground pounding, but it takes longer. Slamming or burning the blue tentacles makes the more-sensitive red tentacles bob upward with more frequency. If Mario goes into 3D and tries to leave, the Big Blooper's tentacles will block the way.

Defeating Big Blooper does not earn the player any points, and the giant squid is not killed by the encounter. If the player enters the area where the Blooper's tentacles come out of the floor and ceiling, Big Blooper can be tattled using Tippi or Tiptron.
