The three Blooper Racers

Blooper Racers[1] are a variety of Blooper appearing only in Ricco Harbor in Super Mario Sunshine. Mario can ride on them. Every episode that Blooper Racers appear in is timed. They come in three colors, with each variety having different abilities. The Green Bloopers[2][1][3] are slow and have a tight turning radius, but they travel across land faster than other colors. Yellow Bloopers[1] have average speed and an average turning radius. Lastly, Purple Bloopers[2][1] (or Pink)[3] are fast and have a wide turning radius. If the Control Stick is held down in any direction, all Blooper Racer colors move at the same high speed, though they keep their unique turning radii,[4] so the Green Blooper superior over the other Blooper Racer colors. Mario can dismount a Blooper Racer by running into a Swim Ring Pianta, or by landing on the Rocket Nozzle box or the umbrella near the Blooper Racers.[5] Bumping into an obstacle at top speed causes Mario to lose a life.

In Episode 2 of Ricco Harbor, Mario must complete an obstacle course run by the Big Daddy of Blooper-surfing in 45 seconds or less while riding on the Blooper Racer of his choice. This is repeated in Episode 10, except the time limit is reduced to 40 seconds. In Episode 6, Mario must ride on a Blooper Racer to get Red Coins scattered over the water within at least two minutes, or else he loses a life. It is possible yet very difficult to complete the challenge without a Blooper Racer.[6]
