'''Gooper Blooper''' (Japanese: ボスゲッソー '''Boss Gessō''') is a giant [[Blooper]] with large and longer tentacles. He first appears as a [[List of bosses|boss]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', where he appears in the levels [[Ricco Harbor]] and [[Noki Bay]]. He uses his tentacles to smack [[Mario]], draining his [[Health Meter|health]]. After his debut in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' and reappearance in ''Super Princess Peach'', Gooper Blooper was reduced to a character in various sports games and spin-offs. Like [[Petey Piranha]], it is quite likely that he is the ruler of his kind, as suggested by his Japanese name, '''Boss Gessō''', "Gessō" being the Japanese name for Bloopers.

Gooper Blooper appears again in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' as a hazard in the minigame [[Blooper Baserun]], where players must dodge his tentacles and collect coins. He also appears around the [[Daisy Cruiser]] stadium at night, and grabs the ship and tilts it to its side. He seems to be bigger in this game than in the previous ones. This game is also the first game to depict Gooper Blooper swimming in water, as in his first appearance in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', he disappeared when he touched it, though it might have to do with the fact that the Ricco Harbor's water was polluted at the time.

===''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''===

In battle, Gooper Blooper's attacks are determined according to the music. In the beginning, he will start off with a double slap using his front tentacles. After that, he will use his back tentacles for a considerably weaker double slap. Once the music changes again, Gooper Blooper can slap with all four of his large tentacles. Possibly to add more to the musical effect, when Gooper Blooper is performing his battle stance before he does a double slap, two of his tentacles will be raised in the air and glowing, while the other two will be clapping to the music, and in his stance for a quadruple slap, all four of his tentacles will be clapping and glowing. When the music changes once more, Gooper Blooper will 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. As well, parts of the screen will be covered in goop. Using a Leaf or blocking the poison will reduce the attack's damage to 2. Using a Flood-based Thing such as the Faucet can remove the Poison if Gooper Blooper's attack is successful. Finally, when Gooper Blooper is [[Poison (status effect)|poisoned]] by his own attack via the Sponge Sticker, the battle music changes into a remix of the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' theme.

Gooper Blooper can use all his tentacles to his advantage, whether it be slamming them all down on Mario at once or just slamming one down. Gooper Blooper will also twirl around swinging his tentacles hurting anyone who gets in their path. Gooper Blooper is also very strong, as he can tilt the entire Daisy Cruiser to one side. Like all Bloopers, Gooper Blooper can spit out ink to cause a slippery mess, and he can swim in unpolluted water as well. His ink is even capable of contaminating water on certain occasions. He can also jump very high which is shown in "Gooper Blooper Breaks Out". However, Gooper Blooper has never shown the ability, apart from in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' to speak or walk on land. He has also been shown to be very adept at playing tennis, as in ''Mario Power Tennis'', the player can continue volleying a tennis ball between themselves and Gooper Blooper virtually forever.
