Gooper Blooper: Difference between revisions

In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', Gooper Blooper appears as the boss of [[World 3 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 3]], marking his first appearance in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. Gooper Blooper used to be a music-loving Blooper until a [[Royal Sticker]] landed on him and turned him and all surrounding [[Blooper]]s into [[Poison Blooper]]s, uncontrollably releasing poison that polluted the nearby forest.

In battle, Gooper Blooper's attacks are rhythmically synced to the music, which has a style akin to Latin samba or Balkan dance grooves. While Mario is using the [[Album]], Gooper Blooper will play to the music by clapping two or four tentacles together or slamming the ground, depending on his attack phase. As each phase progresses, the music intensifies. For the first attack, he hits Mario with two front tentacles, damaging 4 HP each (2 HP when blocked). For the second attack, he slaps Mario with two back tentacles, damaging 2 HP each (1 HP when blocked). In the third attack, Gooper Blooper hits with four tentacles, damaging 3 HP each (2 HP when blocked). For these three phases, the tentacles that will hit Mario will glow orange before the attack. After this, Gooper Blooper will dip further into the polluted ocean and turn dark purple, signifying he is about to spray Mario with poison. If Mario is hit with this attack, he will be poisoned for four turns, covering the screen in purple goop. Using a Leaf or blocking the poison will reduce the attack's damage to 2. This poison can be absorbed and shot back at Gooper Blooper through the use of the Sponge Thing Sticker. When Gooper Blooper is [[Poison (status effect)|poisoned]], he misses every attack, and the battle music changes into a jazzy arrangement of the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]].
