Blooper Racer

The three Surfing Bloopers.

Surfing Bloopers are a subspecies of Blooper that appears only in Ricco Harbor in the game Super Mario Sunshine. In this game, Mario must ride on one through an obstacle course run by a Pianta named Big Daddy, and in the harbor itself to get Red Coins. They come in three colors, each affecting their abilities:

• Purple - These Bloopers are fast, but hard to control.
• Green - These Bloopers are slow, but easy to control.
• Yellow - These Bloopers have average speed and control.

In Episode 2 of Ricco Harbor, Mario must complete an obstacle course in 45 seconds or less while riding on the Blooper of his choice. Bumping into an obstacle or running out of time costs Mario a life. In Episode 6, Mario must ride on a Blooper to get Red Coins scattered over the water in 2 minutes or less. In Episode 10, Mario must repeat Episode 2, though in 40 seconds instead of 45. Every episode that Surfing Bloopers appear in is timed.

Trivia

• It is actually possible to complete Episode 6 without the need of a Surfing Blooper, though it is very difficult.
