"Chases stubbornly after Mario; a guy to look out for. You can't kill him by
jumping on top of him." "Blooper swims underwater with its children. It has a relative, the Scattering
Blooper, whose children scatter in all directions." "Another familiar foe from the past, Blooper is a squid that appears underwater." "Talk about adventures in baby-sitting! Watch out for this Blooper's stinging kids!" "Bloopers have plagued Mario for over ten years, since he first encountered them
in the water stages of Super Mario Bros. Now, they're all grown up and more damaging
than ever. Blooper's Ink Blast attack is the worst this squid has to offer. You
can clean up on Experience Points, though. You'll often find Bloopers keeping
company with Zeostars. So if you step on a star, you'll probably find a Blooper,
as well. Bloopers can give you the Lucky bonus if you use a Yoshi's Cookie,
which gives you a chance to play the Yoshi shell game after you win. Defeating
Bloopers is a matter of using strong Regular Attacks or Fire or Thunderbolt
to deplete their 130 HP." "The best thing about the Blooper is that it gives you fair warning, yelling
it's name for all to hear before leaping to the attack. The worst is that it has
high hit points, the ability to float and a habit of squirting Mario with ink." |
