Gooper Blooper in Super Mario Sunshine

The Gooper Blooper is a boss in Super Mario Sunshine.

Appearing in levels such as Ricco Harbor and Noki Bay, Gooper Blooper is a giant Blooper. He uses his tentacles to smack Mario, draining the plumber's health points. Gooper Blooper can also spew ink all over once the player pulled out the cork in it's mouth, and Mario has to wash it off with FLUDD. Once the area is completely clean, Mario can grab his mouth, pull back, and release to harm Gooper Blooper. This must be completed two times to defeat Gooper Blooper. He can also spin his tentacles around like a propeller to damage Mario.

Gooper Blooper appeared again in Super Princess Peach as the fifth Boss in the game and is defeated by wacking his tentacles and mouth with Perry. After he lost three health points, he used the Calm vibe to fall asleep and regain health. Peach woke him up with the Rage vibe and took out his remaining two health points.
