Blopper is an enemy found only in the Extra Game of Kirby's Dream Land. It is a dark blue, bean-shaped blob with a pair of oval, black eyes, a permanently opened mouth and red cheeks. It appears in the same places that are occupied by Cappys in the normal game.
In most locations where it is encountered, the enemy is initially disguised as a cupcake, a ring of bright frosting surrounding it and covering its face, as well as making the tip of its head appear like a berry adorning the top of the supposed cake. In this state, the Blopper slowly bounces back and forth, launching frosting to both sides at a fast rate, which can harm Kirby if he touches it. While touching the Blopper or spitting something at it defeats it instantly, attempting to inhale it only results in Kirby inhaling its disguise, unmasking the foe. Exposed, the Blopper bounces faster, but cannot attack with icing anymore. Bloppers are worth 200 points when inhaled after being unmasked or 400 when defeated in any other way, while inhaling their disguise awards Kirby 200 points.
In the first section of the Green Greens stage, two Bloppers can be found that neither move nor attack. Unlike other Bloppers, these can be inhaled in one piece.

Trivia
- In the Revenge of the King stage of Kirby Super Star Ultra, most enemies were replaced by their Extra Game counterparts from Kirby's Dream Land. However, instead of being replaced by Blopper, Cappy was replaced by Poison Mash.
- The fish-like enemy Blipper has a similar name, but there is no relation in appearance or attacks.
