− | Bloopers are squid | + | Bloopers are squid creatures found primarily underwater. They float through the water and will direct themselves towards [[Mario]] when they see him. In later games, Bloopers also exhibit the ability to spew ink. Bloopers have also been shown as capable of surviving outside of water in many games. In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan)|The Lost Levels]]'', pinker Bloopers appear outside of water, floating through the air as if they were underwater. Other games, such as ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', feature landbound Bloopers that spit out goop. |
Most Bloopers are weak against fireballs, or in RPG games have a weakness for fire in general. The flying Bloopers in ''The Lost Levels'' could be taken down with a simple jump as well. In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', they instead were destroyed through either spins or Koopa shells. The landbound Bloopers in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' can also be beaten by being jumped and are also destroyed by falling into water, although spraying them with water also stuns them. | Most Bloopers are weak against fireballs, or in RPG games have a weakness for fire in general.

There are also friendly Bloopers from time to time such as [[Characters in Paper Mario series|Blooey]], who acted as one of [[Luigi]]'s partners during his sidequest in ''The Thousand-Year Door''. Blooper racing is also a minigame in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', where Mario can ride one of three different types of bloopers. Green Bloopers had the best steering while being the slowest, Yellow Bloopers were average, and Purple Bloopers were the fastest with worst steering. | There are also friendly Bloopers from time to time such as [[Characters in Paper Mario series|Blooey]], who acted as one of [[Luigi]]'s partners during his sidequest in ''The Thousand-Year Door''.

+ | |||
+ | Bloopers have made occasional appearances in sports games, either as items or obstacles. In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', the Blooper appears as an item that sprays ink to temporarily blind the other racers. The Blooper could also be unlocked as a playable character in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. In ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', 8-bit Bloopers make cameo appearances in the Bloocheep Sea level. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the ''Mario Party'' games, Bloopers often make appearances in minigames. They were featured in the Deep Bloober Sea board of ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. The Blooper was also added as a playable character in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', where it is unlocked by completing the Star Arena mode and choosing the Blooper as the opponent in Bowser's Warped Orbit. | ||
