Sky Bloopers[1] are an airborne variant of Bloopers that move around in midair much like how they do underwater. Sky Bloopers first appear in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, and have also appeared in its reissues.
Sky Bloopers are first encountered in World 1-3. Mario or Luigi can defeat a Sky Blooper by jumping on it, throwing a fireball at it while in their Fire form, or touching a Sky Blooper while temporarily invincible via a Starman. Defeating a Sky Blooper earns Mario or Luigi 1000 points.
In the original Family Computer Disk System version, Sky Bloopers are featured in a light pink color, and are decorated with light brown pixels. In the Super Mario All-Stars remake, both Sky Bloopers and Bloopers are a hot pink color. In Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, Sky Bloopers have a similar appearance as in the Family Computer Disk System version, but are slightly darker.
