Bloopads,[1] originally known asJumping Bloopers,[2]Jump Bloopers,[3]Mamae Gessos,[4] orMame Gessos,[5] areenemies inSuper Mario Sunshine. These rare jellyfish-likeBloopers appear only inRicco Harbor, jumping in groups in and out of thewater. When a Bloopad is sprayed byFLUDD orjumped on, it lands on the water and flattens into aplatform for about fifteen seconds. In the first five episodes of Ricco Harbor, fishing boats filled with dried-out Bloopers and Bloopads can be found near the beginning of the stage; here, Bloopads are found in colors other than cream, such as white and orange. The Bloopers and Bloopads are replaced by fish in the remaining episodes.
InMario Golf: Toadstool Tour, the name "Bloopad" appears in the leaderboard in theSands Classic tournament.
