| '''Bloopers''' (also known as '''Bloobers''') are squid-like creatures that are found in the ocean. They made their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', and have been in most [[Mario (series)|Mario games]] ever since. There are many kinds of Bloopers, though the standard Blooper in ''Super Mario Bros.'' swims towards [[Mario]] in a lazy homing pattern. ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' is the first game in which Bloopers are playable. Bloopers can survive in and out of the water like in the [[Mario Kart (series)]].
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''Super Mario Bros.''====
| |
| [[Image:Bloober.gif|thumb|left|The first appearance of a Blooper.]]
| |
| Bloopers are one of the most resistant enemies in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. They only appear in underwater levels, and will follow Mario relentlessly. They can only be defeated by a [[Fireball]], which is strange, because Bloopers are always fought in the water. It appears that bloopers cannot touch the ground in Super Mario Bros, making it easy to avoid the Bloopers as small Mario.
| |
| <br clear=all>
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''====
| |
| This game featured an extremely odd type of Blooper that could fly through the air the same way it swims through the water. This Blooper can be jumped on for 1000 points. These ones also looked slighty different than their seafaring relatives. They were shorter and slightly different colored.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
| |
| ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' featured two new types of Bloopers: [[Blooper Nanny|Blooper Nannies]] and [[Baby Blooper]]s. The original Bloopers also appear in the same attack pattern they had in ''Super Mario Bros.''. Also, the enhanced remake of ''Super Mario Bros.'' in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' featured pink Bloopers.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
| |
| [[Image:blooperghoul.jpeg|thumb|right|A Blooper in ''Super Mario Sunshine''.]]
| |
| Bloopers reappear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. This was the first game in which the Bloopers are able to stand on dry land and spit out [[goop]]. In fact, Bloopers only appear on dry land. If sprayed with water, causes them to be stunned for a short time. Also, if they happened to fall in water, they would dissappear in a cloud of smoke. [[Jumping Blooper]]s make their first and (so far) only appearance in this game as well.
| |
| | |
| In addition, a special variety of ridable Bloopers appear. These do not attack Mario and are owned by [[Big Daddy]]. Green Bloopers are the slowest, but best at steering. Yellow Bloopers have average speed and average steering. Purple Bloopers are the fastest but have terrible steering. These ridable Bloopers are only found in [[Ricco Harbor]].
| |
| | |
| An extremely large, pollutant spitting Blooper, known as [[Gooper Blooper]], also appears in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' as a boss in the areas [[Ricco Harbor]] and [[Noki Bay]].
| |
| <br clear=all>
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
| |
| In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' there are normal Bloopers that live in water and they can be defeated by a [[Star Spin]] or a [[Koopa Shell]]. They don't try to attack the player in this game, however, when they see Mario, they start to slowly float upward, and they will realease ink.
| |
| | |
| ===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''===
| |
| [[Image: SMBSSBloopers.jpg|thumb|left|Two Bloobers from ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''.]]
| |
| Bloopers, known by their original name of Bloobers, appeared in two episodes of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'': "[[20,000 Koopas Under the Sea]]" and "[[Mario of the Deep]]". In these episodes, they were portrayed as King Koopa's primary aquatic minions and carried out the bulk of his duties.
| |
| <br clear=all>
| |
| ===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
| |
| In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Bloopers, as well as Blooper Nannies and Baby Bloopers, appeared in several episodes of the show, such as in "[[Mush-Rumors]]", "[[Oh, Brother!]]" and "[[Recycled Koopa]]".
| |
| | |
| ===''Nintendo Comics System''===
| |
| ===="Love Flounders"====
| |
| Several Bloopers made a small appearance in the [[Nintendo Comics System]] story "[[Love Flounders]]", where they are among the group of sea creatures trying to get Mario to become [[Big Bertha]]'s boyfriend, so one of them will not have to.
| |
| | |
| ===''Yoshi's Safari''===
| |
| [[Image: YoshisafariBlooper.jpg|thumb|right|A yellow Blooper from the game ''Yoshi's Safari''.]]
| |
| In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', yellow-coloured Bloopers appear as flying enemies who will try to harm Mario and [[Yoshi]] by ramming them; these Bloopers must be defeated by blasting them repeatedly with Mario's [[Super Scope]]. Also of note, the mech built and utilized by [[Iggy Koopa]] in ''Yoshi's Safari'' resembles a large Blooper.
| |
| <br clear=all>
| |
| | |
| ===''Yoshi'' series===
| |
| | |
| ====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
| |
| ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' features Bloopers appearing in early stages of World 3, where they will try to attack a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] by hopping up and down in bodies of water. Bloopers can be easily defeated by being eaten, hit by an egg, or jumped upon. Three of them appear in the [[Island Museum]]. Eating them will '''not''' produce an egg.

| In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Bloobers can be encountered as enemies in [[The Sea]] and in and near the [[Sunken Ship]]. An extremely large Bloober, known as [[King Calamari]], also appears as a boss in the Treasure Room of the Sunken Ship. In battle, Bloobers have low defense but high attack. As such, they can be easily defeated, but can do a good amount of damage. They also use their [[Ink Blast]] ability to do big damage. Bloobers have a high tendency to flee from battle.

| [[Image:blooperfight.jpeg|thumb|left|195px|The '''Blooper''' battle in ''Paper Mario'']]
| |
| In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', three large Bloopers appear in the [[Toad Town Tunnels]]. Each one is guarding a [[Badge]], or a similar treasure, and each one is optional:
| |
| | |
| *Blooper
| |
| *[[Super Blooper]]
| |
| *[[Electro Blooper]]
| |
| The regular Blooper has 30 HP, its attack is 4, and has no defense. It can be found guarding the Shrink Stomp Badge, the first floor [[Warp Pipes]], or the [[Lavalava Island]] Warp Pipe.It is the weakest and smallest of the three Bloopers in the game. One of its more notable features is that it floats. meaning it will have to be jumped on.

| A Blooper appears as the second mandatory boss in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. This Blooper's tentacles are blocking the way to [[Petalburg]], and Mario has to hit them with his [[Hammer]]. This makes the Blooper angry, and it attacks Mario. During battle it hangs off the ceiling, but after both the [[L. Tentacle]] and the [[R. Tentacle]] are defeated it will fall to the ground.
| |
| | |
| Although Bloopers do not appear as regular enemies in the game, they do appear in [[Bowser]]'s underwater level. They are enemies that can simply be taken care of by breathing flames at them. After Bowser gets out of the water and is talking to [[Kammy Koopa]], he can be heard saying, "I swallowed a Blooper!".
| |
| | |
| [[Luigi]] also has a partner named [[Blooey]], who is a tough Blooper that Luigi accidentally threw into lava during his journey, thinking nothing of it. Blooey was afterward fried as a red, stiff Blooper for, most likely, the rest of his life. Blooey supposedly will keep following Luigi around until he gets his revenge, as he states. Blooey appears in Chapter 3. He suprisingly appears in Chapter 8 before the Shadow Queen is beaten, being darker and more forgiving to Luigi. [[Goombella]] notes that Blooey is a strange Blooper for the fact that he can live on land. However, Bloopers being able to live on land previously appeared in ''Super Mario Sunshine''.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Paper Mario''====
| |
| In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Bloopers appear as somewhat common enemies in the [[Tile Pool]], where they will attack the player by persistently following them and trying to touch them; as Mario and [[Princess Peach]] have no useful underwater attacks when the Tile Pool is first ventured through, players will need to use Bowser's fire breath to defeat Bloopers.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Party'' series===
| |
| In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', two giant Bloopers (a child and its mother) appear on the board [[Deep Bloober Sea]] as obstacles, moving the player's character to different spaces all over the game's board. A giant Blooper also appears in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' in the minigame: ''[[Blooper Scooper]]''. Here, players have to avoid the whirl pool that the giant blooper creates.
| |
| | |
| [[Image:MP8_Blooper.jpg|left|thumb|'''Blooper''' appearing in ''Mario Party 8''.]]
| |
| In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', one Blooper is a playable character, unlocked by completing the Star Arena Mode and having Blooper as the opponent in [[Bowser's Warped Orbit]]. However, if [[Hammer Bro.]] is unlocked instead, the player must play through the Star Arena once more as Hammer Bro. In the game, Blooper floats like [[Boo]], and uses two of his tentacles as arms.

| Bloopers make an appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' in the [[Oho Ocean Seabed]], they use their classic style of moving: a zigzagging, odd pattern. These Bloopers attack by running into Mario or Luigi and damaging them. To defend, the Bros. need to [[Hammer]] the bloopers that they encounter.
| |
| | |
| A new type of robotic Bloopers, called [[Mecha-Blooper]], also appear in this game. These bloopers attack with their tentacles, which are actually five [[Bullet Bills]] that are launched at Mario and Luigi.

| |
| A Blooper statue is the first boss battle for [[Bowser]] in [[Mario & Luigi RPG 3]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix''===
| |
| Bloopers also appear as enemies in the games ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'' and ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]''.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Kart'' series===
| |
| Bloopers are also used as an item in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. After the player has launched it, the Blooper will create a large ink blot on the screen of all the drivers who are currently in a higher rank than the player, which obstructs the driving view of human opponents and causes CPU characters to swerve around on the track. If used while in first place, it can backfire and cause ink to block the driver's screen.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Baseball'' series===
| |
| ====''Mario Super Sluggers''====
| |
| Blooper continued his playable role in the baseball game ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' as an unlockable character. To unlock Blooper in Challenge Mode, go to the top edge of the dock in Mario Stadium from where the warp pipe is and where you saved Baby Luigi. You have to use [[Princess Peach]] to find Blooper and for him to come out of the water. Blooper challenges you to a scouting mission before he will join your team roster. The scout mission is to get a double play with him at bat. He also can be unlocked by completing all the practice tutorials. His bat is solid white with a picture of his eyes on it. He also appears on the official boxart.

| | |
| ===Cameos===
| |
| ====''The Legend of Zelda'' series====
| |
| Bloopers appear as enemies of the hero [[Link]] in the game ''[[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]''. These Bloopers look almost identical to the ones in the ''Mario'' series.

| == Characteristics ==
| |
| [[Image:Moving-Blooper.gif|thumb|right|A '''Blooper's''' movement style.]]
| |
| Along with swimming through water, Bloopers have a variety of abilities, the first of which, flying, was shown in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' and has appeared in several other games since. In ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', Bloopers were shown to be capable of burrowing through the ground, shooting globs of ink and blasting opponents with energy beams.

| == Trivia ==
| |
| | |
| *A [[Beta Elements|canceled]] type of Blooper were supposed to appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. These Bloopers were apparently [[Shroobified]] Bloopers and would've appeared in the [[Vim Factory]]; oddly, these Bloopers wore multiple red shoes.
| |
| *Some Bloopers, such as ones that appear in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series, have been known to talk. This was also seen in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' with Blooey, although all other Bloopers in the game only make squid noises.
| |
| *Prior to their formal debut in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', flying Bloopers that could even be stomped (despite the fact that they seem to actually be underwater Bloopers misplaced) were unintentionally generated in [[Minus World|World -3]] of ''Super Mario Bros.''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> [[Famicom Disk System]] version.
| |
| *In the FR version of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Blooper's name is not Bloups ( the FR name of the Bloopers), but Méga Bloups (the FR name of the Gooper Bloopers ).
| |
| *A simular water and land dwelling squid is seen in the ''[[Kirby]]'' series called Gloopers.
| |
| *In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', the name Blooper appears on the game's various scorecharts, though no Bloopers are ever seen in the game, not even in [[Blooper Bay]], a course named after them.
