Octopus (boss)
The title of this article is conjectural; an official name for the article's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title.
Octopus was the boss of the Turtle Zone in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.
The Octopus also appears in the Mario VS Wario comic, which is a (loose) adaptation of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. The Octopus attempts to attack Mario while he is crossing a lake but is stopped when Mario asks what an octopus, a saltwater creature is doing in a freshwater lake. The Octopus ponders this and then exclaims that that must be why it hasn't been feeling good. Mario offers to pour some salt in the water for the octopus, but accidently pours sugar in instead. The Octopus is last seen lieing face down in the water... unmoving.
Stats and Powers
It is dangerous because of its size and that it shoots Octo-minis out of its nose.The minis are probably the same as normal octos in Yoshi's Safari.If the Octo-blooper is hit on the head three times it is defeated. This is a greater task than it seems – because the octo-blooper is always sub-merged.
Octopot connection
The octopot is what the octos from Yoshi's Safari come from.If the pot is destroyed then the octos stop coming.
The octopus emerges from a object almost exact to the octopot.After that the octopus begins shooting octos from its "nose".
This is very good evidence that the Octos,the octopus and the king magma blooper are all from the same species.
Resemblance
Octopus strongly resembles King Magma Blooper from Super Mario Galaxy. Could King Magma Blooper be the return of Octopus? This generates the fact that Tatanga or other Super Mario Land or Super Mario Land 2 enemies/bosses could reappear in Super Mario Galaxy, not to mention that Tatanga is a space creature.
