[[Image:weird_octo_like_enemies.jpg|left|frame|A close-up of a '''Cosmic Blooper'''.]]A '''Cosmic Blooper''' is an [[Enemies|enemy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It is an alien [[Blooper]]. They are seen in various parts of the game and they headbutt [[Mario]] when he approaches. In some cases, if Mario destroys some, a secret might be unveiled, as seen on the [[Space Boat]], where Mario had to eliminate two of them to make a bridge appear.

They can easily be squashed. When defeated, a [[Coin]] is always left by them. A strange red variety of them has been seen in a recent video.

'''Octoombas''', originally referred to as '''Electrogoombas''',<ref>Black, Fletcher. ''Super Mario Galaxy'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 41.</ref> are alien [[List of enemies|enemies]] that first appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They are very common, appearing in most [[Galaxy|galaxies]], and bear resemblances to [[Goomba]]s and [[zeldawiki:Octorok|Octorok]]s, both of which contribute to the name.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:Block Climb Planet.png|thumb|left|200px|Electrogoombas in [[Good Egg Galaxy]].]]
Electrogoombas debut in the first mission of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and reappear as common enemies in many subsequent galaxies. If Mario comes near one, it will try to headbutt him with its antenna. They can be defeated by [[spin]]ning them or by jumping on them. Once defeated, they leave behind three [[Star Bit]]s (if they were spun) or a [[coin]] (if they were jumped on). There is also a timid, rock-spitting variant of them called [[Octoguy]], and a large relative called [[Rocto]].

== Appearance ==
====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
Cosmic Bloopers are very detailed, odd looking Bloopers. They have smooth skin with a blue head and yellow spots all over. They have a rounded mouth like a [[Snifit]] and shoot space comets out of it. They also have yellow, glowing eyes and a small antenna on the top of their head. They might even be [[Shroob]]s.

Octoombas reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' under their current name.<ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 28.</ref> They attack Mario by spitting rocks at him, just like [[Octoguy]]s. Two new variants are also introduced in the game: [[Elite Octoomba]]s and [[Octoboo]]s.

== Subspecies ==  
====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
[[Image:Barrelblooper.PNG|thumb|right|Brown species.]]  
[[File:SM3DW Rosalina Super Galaxy.png|thumb|200px|left|An Octoomba, next to Rosalina, in ''Super Mario 3D World'']]
One subspecies is a brown color. It is immobile, but can shoot green projectiles at [[Mario]]. Only the head is visible on these, as they hide inside holes or barrels. They make a strange squeaking noise before they shoot. This variety often appears in pre-boss levels. Another species is red, and shoots rocks. There is also a bright blue ''woven'' blooper that digs underground. The brown species returns in the [[Space Junk Galaxy]], here it does not hide inside a barrel and therefore its whole body is exposed, revealing a few tentacles keeping it in place. These bloopers, unlike the ones in other levels, only shot fire, and therefore Mario must use a projectile like a shell to destroy it.
Octoombas<ref>Musa, Alexander, and Geson Hatchett. ''Super Mario 3D World'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 26.</ref> return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' as enemies in bonus world stages, such as [[Super Galaxy]], [[Gigantic Seasick Wreck]], and [[Champion's Road]]. Octoombas are the last enemies to be introduced in the game. Their attack pattern has changed once again - they now spit three cannonballs (although they can be jumped on) in a straight line instead of a single rock. Octoombas are also much stronger than in the previous games, as they are resilient to almost every attack (including Rosalina's [[Spin]] attack). They can only be defeated with a [[Ground Pound]]. Octoombas are now stationary, and only rotate in position, instead of moving back and forth.

== Relatives ==
===''Dr. Mario World''===
Octoombas appear in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as assistants. They also appear in the background of [[World 8 (Dr. Mario World)|World 8]] when an area has been cleared. In stage mode, its effect is to fill the skill meter by half of the doctor's full gauge on stage start. In versus mode, its effect is to reduce the time before the stage starts shrinking the playing field by a percentage, which can stack with [[Scuttlebug]]'s versus effect to further reduce the time.

These alien Goombas are found in many areas of the game and attack Mario by trying to headbutt him when he comes near. They can easily be destroyed by jumping on their heads. Electrogoombas are amphibious and have brown, red, and blue subspecies.''"

==Description==
Octoombas have a similar physique to Goombas. Their bodies are blue with several yellow spots, and they have small snout-like mouths which they use to spit rocks. Octoombas have antennae on their heads, and three rounded feet. They use these feet to hop from side to side to move. They have sunken glowing eyes and their brows are set in a scowl. When charging up their attacks, Octoombas will glow orange.
