Blooper Racers[1] are a variety of Blooper that appear only in Ricco Harbor in Super Mario Sunshine. In this game, Mario must ride on one through an obstacle course run by a Pianta named the Big Daddy of Blooper-surfing, and in the harbor itself to get Red Coins. Every episode that Blooper Racers appear in is timed. They come in three colors, each affecting their abilities:
- Green Blooper[2][3][4] – This Blooper is slow but easy to control.
- Yellow Blooper[3] – This Blooper has average speed and control.
- Purple Blooper[2][3] (or Pink)[4] – This Blooper is fast but hard to control.
In Episode 2 of Ricco Harbor, Mario must complete an obstacle course in 45 seconds or less while riding on the Blooper Racer of his choice. In Episode 6, Mario must ride on a Blooper to get Red Coins scattered over the water in two minutes or less. It is possible, albeit very difficult, to complete the episode without a Blooper Racer.[5] In Episode 10, Mario must repeat Episode 2 but with only 40 seconds to complete it rather than 45. Bumping into an obstacle at top speed or running out of time in Episode 6 costs Mario a life.
