Gooper Blooper: Difference between revisions

'''Gooper Blooper''' is a giant [[Blooper]] with large and longer tentacles. He first appears as a [[List of bosses|boss]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Gooper Blooper has since appeared in a variety of ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' spinoffs.

In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', Gooper Blooper is first encountered in [[Ricco Harbor]], during two different episodes. In Episode 1: [[Gooper Blooper Breaks Out]], Gooper Blooper is hiding under a mountain of crates, and Mario must pull off one of his tentacles to initiate the battle with him. Gooper Blooper attacks using his tentacles, but each one of them can be pulled off, just like the first one Mario had pulled off. The tentacles can be halted beforehand for a time by jumping on them, flattening them. After washing the black ink off his face, Mario can pull the cork out of Gooper Blooper's mouth, causing ink to spray all over Gooper Blooper and the surrounding area. It is possible to beat Gooper Blooper without pulling off any tentacles, though it is slightly more difficult, as he will immediately attack if Mario grabs his cork, provided the tentacles are not flattened. With the cork gone, Mario can then pull Gooper Blooper's mouth back and let go to snap it back into his face like elastic, causing the boss severe harm. After his mouth is pulled and snapped back twice, Gooper Blooper is defeated, and he blasts off into the sky, landing in the part of the sea covered in goop. If he is defeated with tentacles intact, they will fly off with him, though they will appear slightly detached. In Episode 5: [[Gooper Blooper Returns]], Gooper Blooper is fought on the helicopter pad, now with regrown tentacles. The only difference from the previous battle is that Gooper Blooper now has a new attack in which he spins around, trying to hit Mario with his tentacles. After being defeated, Gooper Blooper is blasted off into the sky and crashes into the sea. Gooper Blooper makes a third and final appearance in [[Noki Bay]]'s second episode, [[The Boss of Tricky Ruins]], on the peak of the mountain, moving slightly faster than in his Ricco Harbor battles. Unlike Gooper Blooper's first two battles, the [[Proto Piranha|Gatekeeper]] boss theme plays instead of the normal boss theme. Upon being defeated this time, he crashes onto the mountain side.

|''The culprit behind the poisoning of Wiggler's forest, even this bruiser is thinned down in Paper Mario. Really, he looks more like a dried squid... but don't let this fool you—he's still plenty dangerous. He also spits poisonous ink. Grody.''

|''A villain who squirted poisonous ink all over the forest where Wiggler lives. Even in paper-thin form, he's quite the menace. He slaps with his many tentacles, almost like he's swatting flies, and that poisonous ink we mentioned earlier—he won't hesitate to squirt it right in Mario's face. Ew!
