The last of the Blooper fights. Super Blooper does 5 damage with its Spin Drop and Ink Blast, but it gets worse. Sometimes, it can become enraged instead of attacking (which can't be canceled by an attack). Then, its next Spin Drop will do a whopping 10 damage! Another troublesome thing it can do is give birth. This adds two Blooper Babies to the field. They'll try to drain your health 2 points at a time, and need to be shaken off by mashing A. Zap Tap stops these attacks before they start, so consider that. Super Blooper is susceptible to being Shrunk, so Shrink Stomp helps. Bow's Outta Sight is good for avoiding the enraged Spin Drop, plus her Smack can take out Blooper Babies in one hit if she's Ultra Rank. The Star Storm power clears the field of Blooper Babies and does 7 damage to Super Blooper, but you can't just throw it out like a regular attack.

===Lava Pirahna===
;Lava Piranha's Stats (first form)
* HP: 40
* Attack: 5
* Defense: 0
Attacks: Flame Spew (5)
Weak to: Water (2), Ice (2)
;Lava Bud's Stats (first form)
* HP: 8
* Attack: 4
* Defense: 0
Attacks: Petit Spit (4), Regenerate (2 turns after KO)
Weak to: Water (KO), Ice (KO)
Lava Piranha isn't too threatening when it's not ablaze. The Lava Buds should be dealt with first, since they can deal up to 8 damage in addition to the 5 damage from Lava Piranha's Flame Spew. Luckily, the Lava Buds can be instantly knocked out with attacks imbued with water or ice. They come back after two turns, though. Lava Piranha itself fares a little better, only taking 2 extra damage from water and fire attacks instead. Sushie's Squirt works wonders on Lava Piranha, and Tidal Wave both tears into Lava Piranha and knocks out both Lava Buds at once.
;Lava Piranha's Stats (second form)
* HP: 40

* Attack: 6
* Defense: 0
Attacks: Firecracker (6, destroys self)
Thought you were done, huh? Lava Piranha's quick dip has given it a fiery boost. Now, it attacks with Fire Stream to cause 7 damage. That's not what you should worry about, though. Instead of attacking, Lava Buds now summon Petit Piranhas who sacrifice themselves to cause 6 damage. That means you could take up to 19 damage per turn! Don't fret, though, as Lava Buds are just as weak to water & ice as before, and Petit Piranhas have 1 HP so you can easily destroy them with a multi-target attack. Lava Piranha is now shrouded in flame, meaning most physical attacks will be met with a toasty denial. Thankfully, water and ice attacks cause the shroud to sputter out while stunning Lava Piranha for two turns. Mario should equip the Ice Power badge so Jump attacks can land and deal an extra 2 points of damage (4 with Action Commands). Fire Shield also helps, reducing the damage of every attack Lava Piranha can use. Quake Hammer and Power Quake can't hit Lava Piranha, but Multibounce proves an effective replacement.
Note: If you're collecting Goombario's Tattles, be sure to use Tattle on Lava Piranha and the Lava Buds before Phase 2, since their Tattles are different once they're all flamed up. Hope you have Quick Change equipped ;).
