English instruction booklet, page 13.</ref><ref>''Super Mario Bros. 3'' English instruction booklet, page 36.</ref><ref>''Yoshi'' instruction booklet, pages 4, 5, 12 on NES and pages 3, 4, 11 on Game Boy.</ref> until ''[[Paper Mario]]'', though Blooper was occasionally used beforehand<ref>Hiroo Tochikubo, ''[[How to win at Super Mario Bros.]]'', Tokuma Shoten, 1987, ISBN 4-19-720003-XC.

They made their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', and various kinds of them have appeared in most [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' games]] since, normally as enemies. ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' was the first game to feature a Blooper as a playable character.

====''Super Mario Bros.''====

Bloobers first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' in [[World 2-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-2]]; they follow [[Mario]] continuously, although they cannot touch the ground, a drawback that persists in later 2D games. As a result, they move in a regular zig-zag pattern. They will inflict damage on contact and can be defeated with a [[fireball]] from [[Fire Mario|Fiery Mario]] or invincibility from a [[Super Star|Starman]]. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', they are depicted as pink rather than white. A Bloober serves as a [[fake Bowser]] at the end of World 6's castle, where it will be revealed as it falls into the lava if the player defeats it with fireballs. In the FDS version of the Minus World glitch, flying Bloobers, like the ones in ''The Lost Levels'', appear in World -3, an underground-recolored version of World 4-4. Since Bloobers use the exact same color schemes as Goombas, these Bloobers are colored light blue.

[[File:SMBLL Sky Bloober.png|frame]]

''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' features Bloobers that can fly through the air the same way they swim through the water; they act the same way as they did in ''Super Mario Bros.'' The airborne Bloobers can be jumped on for 1000 [[point]]s, with this difference being brought about by Mario's complete inability to stomp while swimming in early games. Due to Bloobers sharing their palette with Goombas in this game and the previous one, they appear a tan and brown color; in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', all Bloobers, including the airborne ones, are pink; in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'', the flying Bloober is off-white.

Despite being the same coded object, the flying Bloober is considered a distinct type known as a '''Sky Blooper'''.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/smb2/?lang=en English ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' entry on the official Mario Portal].

====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====

''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' has normal Bloobers, now half the size they were previously, along with featuring [[Blooper Nanny|Bloober]] with [[Blooper Baby|kids]]. They behave like an average Bloober, but are followed by three or four Bloober babies. The glowing Scattering Bloober can additionally send her children in every direction, making it more difficult to swim, and the children will return to her after a short time. Just like in ''Super Mario Bros.'', in this game Bloobers are originally white, but are pink in ''Super Mario All-Stars.''

{{quote2|Eh, go suck on a sewer pipe! I can take you with seven arms tied behind me back!|Bloober|"[[Mario of the Deep]]"}}

Several Bloopers made a small appearance in the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' story ''[[Love Flounders]]'', where they are among the group of sea creatures trying to get Mario to become [[Big Cheep Cheep#Nintendo Comics System|Bertha]]'s boyfriend, so one of them will not have to do so.

In ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'', some Bloopers try to attack Luigi while he is traveling through [[Water Land]], but he avoids them. Later, some more Bloopers appear in a pool of water Luigi falls into while exploring [[Iggy Koopa]]'s secret lab. The Bloopers spray Sleepy Ink at Luigi, but if he has a [[Frog Suit]], he can deflect the goop. After dispelling the ink, Luigi frightens the Bloopers away by making a scary face, and finds a pogo stick they were guarding.

===''Yoshi'' franchise===

Bloobers make an appearance as one of the six falling objects in ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]''. Bloober's sprite in this game is similar to its sprite from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

====''Yoshi's Safari''====

[[File:YoshisafariBlooper.png|frame|left|]]

In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', yellow-colored Bloopers appear as flying enemies who will try to harm Mario and [[Yoshi]] by ramming them; these Bloopers must be defeated by blasting them repeatedly with Mario's [[Super Scope]]. Also of note, the mech built and utilized by [[Iggy Koopa]] resembles a large Blooper called [[King Gessō]].

 

 

 

[[Takko]], a new variant of Bloopers, appear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]''. They do not attack or harm Yoshi, and cannot be defeated or turned into eggs; they can instead be used as springboards. When used in this manner, Takko expel ink, which scares away Shy Guys. Yoshi can also carry Takko in his mouth, and spit them into a new position. However, if a Takko is left in the same position for too long, it will teleport back to its original spot.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Bloobers can be encountered as enemies in the [[sea]] and in and near the [[Sunken Ship]], as well as one of the Battle Courses in [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]]. An extremely large Bloober, known as [[King Calamari]], also appears as a boss in the Treasure Room of the [[Sunken Ship]]. A Bloober with kids also appears in a flooded area with [[barrel]]s hiding the entrance to the [[Safety Ring (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Safety Ring]], but Bloober babies are not fought and touching them results in a battle with its parent. In battle, Bloobers have low defense but high attack. As such, they can be easily defeated, but can do a good amount of damage. They also use their [[Ink Blast]] ability to do a large amount of damage. Despite being aggressive in most other games, Bloobers will flee from battle when physically attacked.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', three large Bloopers appear in the [[Toad Town Tunnels]]. Here, they are called "Bloopers" for the first time in-game, as in all previous named appearances they were referred to as "Bloobers". The Bloopers guard specific areas; one is guarding the [[Shrink Stomp]] Badge, one guards the upper-West side with the [[Warp Pipe]]s to [[Goomba Village (location)|Goomba Village]], [[Koopa Village]], and [[Dry Dry Outpost]], and one guards the lower-East side with the [[Warp Pipe]]s to [[Yoshi's Village]], [[Shiver City]], [[Rip Cheato]]'s hidden room, and the [[Ultra Boots]]. Which one he fights when reaching these areas depends on if he has fought any of the others yet; the Blooper is always the first one seen, the [[Electro Blooper]] is the second to find, and the [[Super Blooper (boss)|Super Blooper]] always appears last. While the last two are optional, Mario must obtain the [[Ultra Boots]] during Chapter 6, thus requiring at least one Blooper battle.

[[File:Blooey TTYD sprite.png|thumb|left|Blooey]]

[[Luigi]] also has a partner named [[Blooey]], who is a tough Blooper that Luigi accidentally threw into lava during his journey, thinking nothing of it. Blooey supposedly will keep following Luigi around until he gets his revenge, as he states. Blooey appears in Chapter 3. He surprisingly appears in Chapter 8 before the [[Shadow Queen]] is beaten, being darker and more forgiving to Luigi. [[Goombella]] notes that Blooey is a strange Blooper for the fact that he can live on land. However, Bloopers being able to live on land previously appeared in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', the original ''Paper Mario'', and ''Super Mario Sunshine''.

Bloopers, along with their boss [[Gooper Blooper]], appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', once again floating above ground. After one of the [[Royal Sticker]]s fall on Gooper Blooper, it turns him and his Bloopers into hostile [[Poison Blooper]]s that has polluted much of the sea. Some even help [[Kamek]] separate [[Wiggler]]'s body segments. Poison Bloopers can also be encountered as common enemies.

[[File:PMCS Blooper.png|thumb|Blooper's appearance in ''Color Splash''.]]

In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', Bloopers appear as a common enemy in [[Plum Park]], [[Vortex Island]], [[Lighthouse Island]], and [[Fortune Island]]. In the latter three areas, Bloopers are replaced with Boos when Mario enters the [[parallel world]]. In the game, Mario can encounter regular Bloopers, [[Blooper 10-Stack]]s, and [[Poison Blooper]]s.

In ''[[Mario Party]]'', Bloopers appear in the [[minigame]]s [[Mushroom Mix-Up]], [[Bumper Balls]], and [[Bombs Away (minigame)|Bombs Away]], taking away any losing characters who fall into the water. Additionally, they appear in the minigame [[Treasure Divers]] as a hazard.

In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', a picture of a Blooper is depicted on the central platform of [[Torpedo Targets]], and a Blooper appears as one of the fossilized characters in [[Crazy Cutters]]. In the desert area of the [[Mystery Land]] board, there is a drawing in the sand in the shape of a Blooper. Reprising their role from some previous minigames in ''Mario Party'', Bloopers also take losing characters in [[Abandon Ship (minigame)|Abandon Ship]], Bumper Balls and Bombs Away offscreen. Lastly, a mechanical Blooper appears in the bottom right portion of the [[Space Land]] board.

[[File:MP3 Deep Bloober Sea Board.png|thumb|Bloobers on Deep Bloober Sea]]

While regular Bloopers do not appear in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', a [[Big Blooper|Giant Blooper]] appears in the minigame [[Blooper Scooper]] and several pages of the [[Miracle Book]] (one which is referencing Blooper Scooper). In Blooper Scooper, the Giant Blooper destroys the ship players are on and creates a vortex. Players need to avoid swimming too close to the Blooper in the vortex as well as avoid hitting floating ship crates that stun them. The Giant Blooper periodically shoots tentacles from the water and spins them to create additional obstacles for the players.

[[File:Stampede8.png|thumb|left|250px|Blooper participates in [[Stampede (minigame)|Stampede]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''.]]

In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Blooper appears for the first time as a playable character, unlocked by completing the Star Arena Mode and having Blooper as the opponent in [[Bowser's Warped Orbit]]. However, if [[Hammer Bro]] is unlocked instead, the player must play through the Star Arena again until Blooper is faced and beaten as an opponent. In the game, Blooper floats like [[Boo]]. Blooper's default partner in this game is Hammer Bro.

The ''Mario Golf'' games show a number of minor Blooper appearances. In ''[[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|Mario Golf]]'' for the [[Game Boy Color]], balls that result in a Water Hazard cause a Blooper to appear. [[Blooper Bay]], which appears in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', is named after them, and they are one of many characters referenced by the game's scoreboard. In ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'', a Blooper appears in the sea in the [[Palms|Palms Club Practice Center]]. The player must shoot three shots at it, causing a [[Custom Ticket|Custom Ticket B]] to be washed up on the shore. Blooper's name can appear in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' on the tournament scoreboard.

Bloopers make an appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' in the [[Oho Ocean Seabed]], where they use their classic zigzagging style of movement. These Bloopers attack by running into Mario or Luigi and damaging them. To defend, the Bros. need to [[hammer]] the Bloopers that they encounter. [[Elite Pestnut]]s and, more rarely, [[Goomdiver]]s, can sometimes appear in battle with them. Bloopers are weak to [[Thunderhand]], though they can only be hit by an [[Advanced Command|Advanced]] [[Thunder Bros.]] due to them being high up in the air, so a solo Thunderhand attack and a normal Thunder Bros. attack (unless the second [[Action Command]] is not inputted correctly in the original game) will not hit them.

 

A new type of robotic Bloopers, called [[Mecha-Blooper]]s, also appear in the game, being found in [[Oho Ocean Seabed]] and the underwater portions of [[Gwarhar Lagoon]]. These Bloopers attack with their arms, which are actually five [[Bullet Bill]]s that are launched at Mario and Luigi, counterattack immediately when they are attacked, and are weak to [[Thunderhand|electricity]].

[[File:M&LPT Unused Scoot Bloop.png|frame|right]]

While no Bloopers actually appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', in the [[List of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time pre-release and unused content|early version]] of the game, there was going to be a land-based version of Bloopers wearing shoes, under the name "Scoot Bloop," but it was removed for unknown reasons.

Bloopers make their ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series debut in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', where they appear as a usable item in the game. ''Mario Kart DS'' also introduces their current design. When the player uses a Blooper, it will create a large ink blot on the screen of all of the drivers who are currently in a higher placement than the player, which obstructs the driving view of opponents and causes CPU characters to swerve around on the track and drive slowly (except in Battle mode, as CPU characters will never swerve around on the battle course). More ink is splattered on players in higher placements. If the Blooper is used while in first place, it will backfire and cause ink to block the driver's screen, except in Team Battles. The ink can be removed via a [[Dash Mushroom]], a [[Super Star]], a [[Boo]], a [[Bullet Bill]], driving on a [[Dash Panel]], or waiting for it to go away automatically. The Blooper can be obtained anywhere from 3rd to 6th place, with CPUs also being able to obtain it in 2nd place in VS races.

In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', Bloopers can be obtained from 4th to 6th place in ''Mario Kart 7''. CPUs can also obtain it in 7th place in VS races. A Blooper also appears as part of the [[Lucky Seven]] item. If another driver touches the Blooper while spinning around the player's vehicle or when it is dropped on the track, it will put a single blot of ink on the opponent's screen. Additionally, when a player receives the Lucky Seven and uses it while [[Underwater driving|underwater]], the Blooper rotating around the player leaves an ink trail of bubbles.

In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', after a Blooper squirts ink onto the screen, the player can wipe it off themselves by dragging their finger on the touch screen. Dash Panel and Mushroom boosts can also get rid of the ink like in previous games, in addition to [[Mini-Turbo]]s and [[Jump Boost]]s. In addition, the Super Blooper kart returns in this game. A new golden variant known as the [[Gold Blooper]] also debuts in this game. The Lucky Seven also returns in the game as the [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special item]] of various characters. The player can now repel a Blooper with the [[Super Horn]], which will reward the player with points.

Bloopers make an appearance in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'' in the unlockable Coin Hunter level World 2-2 and the court [[Bloocheep Sea]].

[[File:MvDK2 Bloopers.png|thumb]]

Bloopers make their first appearance in the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]''. They first appear in [[Tropical Island]] as small variations, in Room 3. Initially, they seem stationary, blocking the [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Marios']] way, but as the Mini Marios approach them, they jump and hover for a few seconds, allowing the toys to pass underneath them.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', a regular Blooper also appears as a trophy. In addition, a Big Blooper based on the boss from ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' appears as a hazard in the [[Paper Mario (stage)|Paper Mario]] stage.  

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====

A regular Blooper appears as a Novice class Shield-type primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]]. When equipped, the fighter's weight is reduced, increasing their speed but making them easier to launch. In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate#Adventure|World of Light]], the spirit can be found in the Light Realm. The corresponding spirit battle has three tiny [[Inkling]] boys as opponents on the [[Delfino Plaza (stage)|Delfino Plaza]] stage. Additionally, the Big Blooper returns on the Paper Mario stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' and reprises its role.

[[File:Blooper-Batting-MSS.png|thumb|A Blooper prepares to bat in ''Mario Super Sluggers''.]]

Blooper continues its playable role in the baseball game ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' as an unlockable character. Blooper is on the [[Mario Fireballs]] as a balanced character. To unlock Blooper in Challenge Mode, players should go to the top edge of the dock in Mario Stadium from where the Warp Pipe is and where they saved [[Baby Luigi]]. They have to use Princess Peach to find Blooper and for it to come out of the water. Blooper challenges players to a scouting mission before it joins their team roster. The scout mission is to get a double play with it at batting. It also can be unlocked by completing all the practice tutorials. Its bat is solid white with a picture of its eyes on it. Blooper has good chemistry with [[Boo]], [[Wiggler]], and [[Petey Piranha]]. Blooper has bad chemistry with [[Birdo]].

 

On a side note, Blooper has the same stats as [[Baby Daisy]]. Their card information makes specific note of Mario meeting them on [[Isle Delfino]], despite the Bloopers in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' being vastly different, as well as far from the first depiction.

A Blooper appears in its original ''Super Mario Bros.'' appearance in the ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' [[microgame]] named after itself, [[Blooper (microgame)|Blooper]]. In the microgame, Mario must avoid the Blooper while trying to collect all the [[coin]]s. They are also the icon used for one of the 8-bit instruments in the [[Super MakerMatic 21#Record MakerMatic|music creator]].

A Blooper appears as a playable character post-launch in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]''. It is classified as a tricky character. The Blooper was originally unlocked by participating in an online tournament from August 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018, and was automatically unlocked for everyone after September 1, 2018.<ref>Nintendo (June 18, 2018). [https://youtu.be/C7Z0kmbxwgE Mario Tennis Aces - Blooper - Nintendo Switch]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved June 23, 2018.</ref> Blooper also appears in Adventure Mode as an opponent in [[The Sort-Of Sea Monster]]. Unlike its previous playable appearances, the Blooper in ''Mario Tennis Aces'' slides across the ground instead of floating.

===''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games''===

Bloopers appear as an item in [[Football Plus]] in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]''. In this [[Plus Event]], the Blooper obscures the view of all members of the opposing team for a short amount of time, except for the goalkeeper who remains unaffected.

Bloopers make minor appearances throughout [[Sherbet Desert]] in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]''. A few of them are blocked within ice formations during the second level, [[Undergarment Gulch]]. Pictures of Bloopers can be seen on boxes at the beginning of the level [[Call of Sherbet Mountain]]. A Rocket known as the [[List of weapons in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle#Blooper Shooter|Blooper Shooter]] has a design resembling a Blooper.

====''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope''====

In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', two Bloopers appear swimming in the helmet of the giant diver suit at [[Mt. Spout]]. They can be seen preforming the same charging attack from ''Super Mario 3D World''.

===Appearances in other media===

Bloopers, originally known as Bloobers,<ref>M. Arakawa. ''The Legend of Zelda – Link's Awakening'' Player's Guide. Page 100.</ref> appear as enemies of the hero [[Link]] in the game ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]''. These Bloopers look almost identical to the ones in the ''Super Mario'' franchise, with their proportions most closely resembling the ones in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Bloopers return in the [[Nintendo Switch]] remake where they can also be caught in the [[zeldawiki:Fishing Hole|Fishing Hole]] of [[zeldawiki:Mabe Village|Mabe Village]], while a figure of one can be won from the [[zeldawiki:Trendy Game|Trendy Game]] after clearing the [[zeldawiki:Catfish's Maw|Catfish's Maw]] and placed in [[zeldawiki:Old Man Ulrira|Ulrira]]'s house. The text that appears upon acquiring the figure reads, "''You got a Blooper figure! It's not so menacing outside of the water.''" while its actual description reads, "''It's a Blooper figure. Squids are the hot new thing with kids today.''" a reference to the ''[[inkipedia:Splatoon (series)|Splatoon]]'' series.

====AR Games====

On the [[Nintendo 3DS]], [[AR Games|a fishing game played on an AR card]] includes a [[Lakitu]] fishing and catching a Blooper. The player can also catch Bloopers when Lakitu begins fishing.

==Characteristics and traits==

[[File:Moving-Blooper.gif|thumb|A Blooper's movement style.]]

[[File:MK8 Baby Luigi and Blooper Artwork.png|thumb|left|A Blooper inking [[Baby Luigi]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''.]]

Bloopers are small, white squid-like creatures with a black marking on their face, which resembles a mask. A typical Blooper has ten arms, of which only two are typically used as such, although Bloopers can have more or less appendages. While most Bloopers lack actual squid tentacles, large Bloopers are sometimes shown with them, sometimes in great amounts. Bloopers can squirt ink from between their arms in some appearances, especially in ''Paper Mario'', although in other appearances, such as artwork from ''Mario Kart'', they are depicted squirting ink from a small mouth located near the eyes.

 

Along with swimming through water, Bloopers have a variety of abilities, the first of which, flying, was shown in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' and has appeared in several other games since. In ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', Bloopers were shown to be capable of burrowing through the ground, shooting globs of ink, and blasting opponents with energy beams. Bloopers can also leap from the water and charge into Mario and Luigi. This ability is also shown in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]''.

 

Bloopers seem to have their own language. It mainly consists of derivatives of the word "bloop".
