Poison Blooper

A Poison Blooper is a type of Blooper that appears in the Paper Mario series, first appearing in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. In this game, Poison Bloopers are standard enemies found in World 3, under the control of Gooper Blooper after the latter came into possession of the violet Royal Sticker. They look like normal Bloopers with a purple tint, three dark spots on their head, and a spot on each of their arms. Artwork and their out-of-battle sprite depicts them facing forward, but in battle, their eyes shift to the left to look at Mario. Two Poison Bloopers hold a Wiggler Segment hostage in Holey Thicket. While World 3 is poisoned, they can be found, but not fought, in the background of The Bafflewood.

In battle, Poison Bloopers have two attacks. They can attack by slowly bobbing towards Mario and then slamming into him, or squirting poisonous ink to inflict the poison status. This version of Poison is unique in that it also hinders Mario's aim, causing his attacks to miss. After using the latter attack, Poison Bloopers dry up. Mario can also dry them out by using a Fire Flower sticker. When a Poison Blooper becomes dry, it will attempt to lunge at Mario and absorb poison, returning it to its normal state.

After defeating Gooper Blooper at Whitecap Beach, Poison Bloopers disappear, and those that join battle are replaced by Snifits or Shy Guys. However, if the Poison Bloopers harassing the Traveling Toad were not fought before Gooper Blooper is defeated, they can still be fought afterwards.

Poison Bloopers return in Paper Mario: Color Splash, only appearing in Plum Park. There are only five of them, found hovering over a bridge which crosses a pool of poison. Once Mario starts to cross the bridge, the Bloopers try to close in on him. Unlike their appearance in Sticker Star, these Poison Bloopers act identically to standard Bloopers in combat. After defeating Petea Piranha, the water is cleared of poison, and the Poison Bloopers become normal Bloopers. Poison Bloopers drop regular Blooper Enemy Cards.
