Bulbers[1][2] are anglerfish-like enemies that first appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Like real anglerfish, their bulbs illuminate any darkness around them, similarly to Jellybeams.
History
Super Mario series
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Bulbers only appear in World 8-4. They swim freely in the water, illuminating the area around them. They can be defeated by attacking them with a fireball, by freezing them, or by running into them with a Star, although this is not necessary and perhaps even detrimental due to loss of illumination. Bulbers are passive, hurting Mario only if he touches them.
New Super Mario Bros. U
Bulbers reappear in New Super Mario Bros. U where they act exactly as they did in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, appearing alongside Jellybeams in Deepsea Ruins of Soda Jungle. They do not reappear in New Super Luigi U.
Mario Kart series
Mario Kart Arcade GP DX
Although Bulbers are absent from Mario Kart Arcade GP DX, there exists model data for one in the game files.[citation needed]
Mario Kart Tour
Bulbers return in Mario Kart Tour, marking their first appearance in over ten years. They appear in Piranha Plant Cove across its variants, visible above the pillars of the first and third route's starting line and in Piranha Plant Cove 3's subterranean ruin section.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Bulbers appear in the final wave of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass, appearing in the background of Piranha Plant Cove.
