Bloomps are fish-like enemies resembling balloons in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Their name is likely a combination of "balloon" and "blimp". They appear prominently in a level with their own name, Bloomps of the Desert Skies. They simply float through the air in one direction and allow for the player to jump off them as platforms, which causes the enemy to lose air and shrink a little bit every time. If a Bloomp is stomped on enough, or if it is jumped into from below, it will pop. They cannot damage the player, and instead push the player or other enemies forward in their direction of travel.[1]

Bloomps come in green, purple, cyan, and gray varieties. The green and purple Bloomps both fly through the air, with purple ones being faster. [2] Cyan and gray Bloomps are only found during the Wonder Effect of Bloomps of the Desert Skies. Gray Bloomps are tied to walls, and remain stationary, but always contain items, along with a burst of confetti. As the player is in Balloon form during this Wonder Effect, these gray Bloomps can only be popped using a Super Star. Giant Bloomps can also appear during another Wonder Effect.

Bloomps may also contain Coins that can be obtained by simply jumping on it once, causing its coin to shoot out of its body. Devices resembling cannons and Bill Blasters can be seen inflating and launching Bloomps.[2][3]
