Glorpedos appear as obstacles in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', only being encountered in the first mission of [[Noki Bay]], where the Monty Mole who created them shoots the Glorpedos out of his [[cannon (Super Mario Sunshine)|cannon]] from the cliffside. Here, they roll and bounce swiftly down the cliffs, leaving a trail of goop and spawning [[Swoopin' Stu]]s in their wake. Eventually, they hit the ground with a large splat, creating a large puddle of goop at the bottom of the cliffs. Similar to the [[Piranhabon]]s, Glorpedoes roll right over [[Mario]] without stopping if he is in their way. However, spraying them with [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] causes them to expand until they burst, releasing the sprayed water all around them and occasionally leaving [[Water Bottle]]s behind. [[Jump]]ing on top of them creates a very large puddle of goop. Once Mario confronts the Monty Mole, he stops shooting Glorpedos and instead functions like his previous fight back in [[Pinna Park]].

Glorpedoes,[1] also known as Iga,[2] are large lumpy balls of goop which were created by the Monty Mole from Super Mario Sunshine.[1] Glorpedoes act very similarly to Boulders, as they roll down cliffs and act as obstacles.

History

Super Mario Sunshine

Glorpedos appear as obstacles in Super Mario Sunshine, only being encountered in the first mission of Noki Bay, where the Monty Mole who created them shoots the Glorpedos out of his cannon from the cliffside. Here, they roll and bounce swiftly down the cliffs, leaving a trail of goop and spawning Swoopin' Stus in their wake. Eventually, they hit the ground with a large splat, creating a large puddle of goop at the bottom of the cliffs. Similar to the Piranhabons, Glorpedoes roll right over Mario without stopping if he is in their way. However, spraying them with FLUDD causes them to expand until they burst, releasing the sprayed water all around them and occasionally leaving Water Bottles behind. Jumping on top of them creates a very large puddle of goop. Once Mario confronts the Monty Mole, he stops shooting Glorpedos and instead functions like his previous fight back in Pinna Park.

Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour

In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour's leaderboard, it is possible for the name "Glorpedo" to appear.
