A Blurp is an enemy which first appears in Super Mario World.

Profile[]

Physical description[]

Blurps are green fish that wear goggles. They are considered cousins of Cheep Cheep, and have a similar name in Japanese, Bukubuku.

Behavior[]

Like Cheep Cheeps, a Blurp often swims aimlessly in one direction, injuring Mario or Luigi if it touches him. As Blurps are fairly weak, they can be quickly defeated by either shooting a fireball at them as Fire Mario or having Cape Mario whack them using his cape.

In Super Mario series[]

Super Mario World[]

Blurp Waters

Blurps are commonly found in the different underwater levels. They attack Mario/Luigi when coming in contact with him. Blurps are first seen in Donut Plains. Blurps are relatively weak foes and can be easily defeated with the effects of a Fire Flower, Cape Feather, or Starman; in doing so, the player earns 200 points.

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins[]

Blurps make a reappearance as underwater enemies in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. Much like their Super Mario World counterparts, Blurps aimless swim in one direction and can be defeated by a fireball with the effects of a Fire Flower. Blurps are found primarily in the Turtle Zone.

Super Princess Peach[]

Like various enemies of Super Mario World, Blurps also return in Super Princess Peach. They behave as they did previously. Some of them are angry and affected by the rage vibe and these Blurps are called Mad Blurps. They pursue Peach if she is in front of them. They can be defeated by blowing bubbles at them. Blurps are semi-common enemies encountered in Subrella areas. Their first level appearance is in Hoo's Wood 2-9, but Blurps can also be found in Wavy Beach, Gleam Glacier, Giddy Sky, and Bowser's Villa. Blurps can sometimes swim in lines as well and unlike Super Mario World, aren't seen alongside Cheep Cheeps, which mainly dwell the surface of the waters.

Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS / Super Mario Maker 2[]

Blurp reappear in Super Mario Maker and its two sequels, replacing the Green Cheep Cheeps in the Super Mario World style. They behave as they did in Super Mario World and can be given a Super Mushroom to become a Mega Blurp or wings to become a Winged Blurp. They are succeeded by Deep Cheeps in the New Super Mario Bros. U style implying that Blurps are a sub-species of Deep Cheeps however the game's voice will still call them Cheep Cheeps when selected. Blurps can once again be defeated with the effects of a Fire Flower or Starman.

In Mario & Luigi series[]

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[]

Blurp Toss

Blurps reappear as an attack used by the Shrooba Diver in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Here they're used as an alternative to their usual Spiked Ball attack and like Superstar Saga, it's unadvised that you jump during the attack as you will take damage if you do.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[]

Blurp Jump DX

A Blurp takes a leap over Luigi.

Blurps make an appearance in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake. Here they appear as a variation for ???? in Gwarhar Lagoon. They attack by jumping over a bro. If you jump during the attack, you will be hit by the flying Blurp and take damage. In the remake, due to the levels being displayed for the enemies, it's easier to tell which ???? is a Blurp or Sharkbone as the Blurp's level is 24 and the Sharkbone's is 25.

Trivia[]

  • Blurps are the only green variation of the Cheep-Cheep to act identically to one as the Green Cheep Cheeps swim slower and the Deep Cheeps pursue Mario/Luigi whenever the plumbers get close.
  • In the credits for Super Mario World, the Blurp is one of the three enemies whose name is pluralized, the other two being the Swooper and the Spike Top.
