—Blooper, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Blooper, also known as Big Blooper in its Super Smash Bros. cameos, is a boss in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake. I am putting some text here to visualize what the length of this intro could likely be.

History

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Mario and Goombella battling Blooper

(Basic story info) Mario and Goombella encounter the Blooper in Rogueport Underground.
(Battle info)
A giant-sized Blooper appears as the prologue's second required boss in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. One of this Blooper's tentacles is blocking the way to Petal Meadows and Mario has to hit its visible tentacle with his Hammer or jump on it. This makes the Blooper angry, causing it to attack Mario. During battle, it hangs off the ceiling, leaving the player to attack its tentacles, thus making this the first game in which a Blooper's tentacles are referred to as such and fought separately. After both the L. Tentacle and R. Tentacle are defeated, it will fall to the ground and become vulnerable. After the battle, the Blooper starts to squirt itself up to the ceiling and crashes, never seen again in the game. (Text from existing Big Blooper page - would not be exactly like this, but I imagine around the same length if not slightly longer)

(Sentence or two on remake credits)

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, a Big Blooper based on the boss from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door appears in the background of the Paper Mario stage when it changes to the S.S. Flavion. It rocks the boat around, but does not cause any direct damage to fighters.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Big Blooper returns on the Paper Mario stage with the same role as it did previously. Proportionally, it now resembles the contemporary Blooper design rather than the design from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

Field Tattle

Goombella can use Tattle only on Blooper's exposed tentacle in Rogueport Underground before Mario whacks it with his hammer.

• "Hmmm... It seems to be almost inviting us to do something, doesn't it? But what? You could jump on it, but you'd totally ruin your shoes, so I'd just hammer it!"
