A radio-controlled Blupi is denoted with an aerial (antenna) on his head. In the radio-controlled Blupis mode, the titular Blupis are basically robots that the player can directly control or even command to perform a certain task. The player controls the cursor that is used to place or remove objects, depending on the tool(s) available in the current puzzle. However, if autonomous Blupis fall down a hole, they will respawn in blindfolded status again and all current statuses tied to that particular Blupi will be lost. Once that happens, the Blupi will walk on his own towards anything that interests him like books, drink tables, balloons, etc.

Having the blindfolded Blupi walk into a pair of glasses will make him regain his sight. Blindfolded Blupis will walk down a straight line and will only make a turn if a solid object is on their way. In the autonomous Blupis mode, Blupis that spawn from the starting hole are blindfolded. If a radio-controlled Blupi turns nasty, the player loses control of that particular Blupi.

Also in both modes, Blupis can turn nasty if they slip over banana peels (or "banana skins" as called in-game), Nasty Blupis will become more willing to activate detonators, but they can also burst the goal balloons. Having a Blupi have some drink can replenish his lost stamina, but if he drinks too much, he will collapse through the floor. Weak Blupis are also unable to push movable boxes or balls.

If a Blupi's energy becomes too low (red), he will become weaker, slowing down his walking speed and making him unable to jump. Regardless of the mode being played, Blupis have limited energy. Apparently, the Smaky version does not give a consistent name for the nasty Blupis. The English version calls the remote-controlled Blupis radio-controlled Blupis, which is most likely a mistranslation. The player can configure the controls for the remote-controlled Blupi. Another mode is where the player controls a remote-controlled Blupi who can be controlled with the arrow keys or by clicking on a desired location with the mouse. One mode is where Blupi (and in some puzzles more Blupis) starts off the puzzle with a balloon, being blindfolded.
