'''Blooper Barrage''' is a boss [[minigame]] featured in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''.

==Introduction==
The view shows a ship out at sea, with some islands nearby. The camera then zooms in on the ship and then on a [[whirlpool]], which [[Blooper]] emerges from. The view then pans back to the players on the ship, [[cannon]]s mounted.

==Gameplay==
The players must point and fire at Blooper while it is out of the ocean. After a few seconds of remaining above the ocean, Blooper dives back down. Each successful hit earns the player one [[point]]. Blooper attacks by tossing [[Urchin]]s at the players. The Urchins can be shot down, and getting hit by one deducts a point from the player. Each time an Urchin is shot by a player, unless it is close enough to the player, it heads towards another. When Blooper loses half its [[Health Meter|health]], it becomes enraged; it moves faster, shoots ink at parts of the screen to make it harder for the players to see, and tosses more Urchins. The player who delivers the final attack earns three additional points, and the player who scores the most points wins. If five minutes pass and Blooper has not been defeated, the minigame ends in a draw.

Blooper has 20 hit points in this minigame.

==Ending==
Blooper moves around dazed and then explodes. The whirlpool dies down, and several [[Mini Star]]s appear in Party Mode and Solo Mode.
