Glorpedoes,[1] also known as Iga,[2] are large lumpy balls of orange goop that leave behind more goop as they move. Glorpedos were created by the Monty Mole boss during the events of the first mission in Noki Bay.[1]
History
Super Mario Sunshine
Glorpedos appear exclusively in the first mission of Noki Bay, where the Monty Mole who created them shoots the Glorpedos out of his cannon. 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.
