A '''Blooper Nanny''' is a [[Blooper]] with [[Blooper Baby|Blooper Babies]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
[[File:Bloopernanny.jpg|thumb|left||200px|A Bloober with kids]]
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', there are two types of Blooper Nannies: the '''Bloober with kids'''<ref name=EN>{{cite|date=1990|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=36}}</ref> appears in [[Water Land]], and the '''Scattering Bloober'''<ref name=EN/> (or '''Scattering Blooper''')<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/smb3/?lang=en|title=English ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' entry on the official Mario Portal|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|accessdate=August 13, 2022|archive=archive.today/2022.08.13-142617/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/smb3/?lang=en}}</ref> appears in [[Ice Land]] and [[Pipe Land]]. The latter flashes different colors when approached until its [[Blooper Baby|children]] swim away in different directions (including through walls and above the surface), and generate more children a few moments later. Just like normal Bloobers, both types follow [[Mario]] in an attempt to hurt him. Unlike normal Bloobers, they flash on defeat and respawn if defeated if their spawn point is brought off-screen and then back on-screen.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
Two Blooper Nannies appear in a bonus room of [[World 3-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-3]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', using the previous behavior of Scattering Blooper. This time, they will flash rainbow instead of flipping between different colors, similar to how [[Invincible Mario]] is handled between the two games.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
Blooper Nannies later appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' in [[World 4-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 4-4]]. Instead of flashing or glowing, the Blooper Babies will circle around the Blooper Nanny before dispersing.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Blooper Nannies also appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where they are only found in [[World 3-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3-5]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
Blooper Nannies also reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' in the secret level [[Blooper's Secret Lair]]. They are one of the few enemies that do not appear in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''.

====''Super Mario Maker'' subseries====
Blooper Nannies reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. The player can shake or hold a Blooper while editing a level and it will become a Blooper Nanny. Here, they return to their basic behavior from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' rather than using the behavior of Scattering Blooper. As such, it functions identically to a normal Blooper, only with [[Blooper Baby|Blooper Babies]] in tow. Blooper Nannies and their babies can be stomped on if out of water.

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
[[File:BlooperNannyCartoon.jpg|thumb|A Bloober with kids seen in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' episode, "[[Oh, Brother!]]"]]
Bloober with kids make occasional appearances on ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', serving as aquatic nuisances to [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]].

===''Nintendo Adventure Book''===
In the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books|Nintendo Adventure Book]]'' ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'', two Blooper Nannies (known here as "'''Bloober Nannies'''") compete in the [[International Mushroom Games]] as members of a team known as the [[Sneaks]]. What events they participate in besides the Beetlebowl, an all-team game, are unspecified.

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
Only one Blooper with kids appears in the [[Sunken Ship]] during the events of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Touching her or any of her babies results in a battle with a single Blooper.

===''Mario Golf'' series===
In both ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]] and ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', Hole 15 of [[Mario's Star (golf course)|Mario's Star]] depicts a Blooper Nanny and its three Blooper Babies.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', a Blooper Nanny makes a cameo appearance on the [[Blooper Hanafuda]] [[glider]]. Additionally, in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Blooper Nannies make a cameo alongside Blooper Babies as a mobile in the background of [[Squeaky Clean Sprint]]. The course returns in ''Mario Kart Tour''.
