Boss Fight: Gooper Blooper

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • HP: 300
  • Attack: 7
  • Defense: 9
  • Weakness: Sponge item (absorbs poison), Hopslipper stickers (early damage), Spike Helmets (prevent hits).

Strategy:

  • The Sponge item is crucial for this fight. If you don't have it, bring plenty of Shiny Mushrooms and coins.
  • The goal is to defeat Gooper Blooper quickly, ideally within six turns.
  • During the first few turns, use regular [Hopslipper] stickers for damage. Save more powerful stickers for later.
  • Gooper Blooper's tentacle attacks can be mitigated; each glowing tentacle deals damage. Spike Helmets can prevent these hits entirely.
  • At the end of the third turn, Gooper Blooper will turn bright purple. You MUST use the Sponge item now.
  • Using the Sponge will absorb the poison and poison Gooper Blooper, causing him to lose 30 HP per turn.
  • If you fail to use the Sponge, Mario will be severely poisoned, losing 7-9 HP per turn.
  • Gooper Blooper will use his poison attack every fourth turn until one of you is defeated. Ensure you defeat him before he can use it again after the Sponge absorption.
  • The poison also weakens Gooper Blooper, causes him to miss attacks, and makes him vulnerable.
  • Defeating Gooper Blooper yields the [Gooper Blooper Card].
