| | A '''Swoopin' Stu''' is a type of transparent creature and a variant of [[Stu]] that appears in the game ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Swoopin' Stu can be found wherever there is toxic [[Goop]]. They resemble transparent, goopish octopuses. For the most part, unless they see [[Mario]], Swoopin' Stus will generally wander in an outward direction without any real, apparent purpose and won't create a larger 'goop area' unless they fall off a ledge and pop on impact. |

They emerge from piles of [[goop]] throughout the game and appear in a wide variety of colors, but unlike [[Cheep Cheep|Cheep-Cheeps]] or [[Koopa Troopa]]s, all Goobles behave the same way regardless of color. Their bodies are translucent, and their heads are topped with antenna-like tufts.

| While idling, Goobles slowly crawl across terrain before exploding into small puddles of goop. If [[Mario]] draws near, they turn to actively pursue him. When he is in striking distance, Goobles flash white and give off a distinctive cry before lunging at him. Goobles fall apart into large puddles of goop on impact. It is easy to avoid their attacks in isolation, but Goobles typically appear in groups and near more behaviorally complex enemies that make them difficult to avoid. Goobles are destroyed when struck by [[water]] from [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] or when [[stomp]]ed, though the latter method leaves behind a puddle of goop from which more Goobles can emerge. This does not happen if they are struck while they are in midair. Stomping them occasionally rewards Mario with [[Water Bottle]]s. Goobles stop appearing in areas when all of the goop is cleared, otherwise they spawn indefinitely. They are most prominent during battles with [[Proto Piranha]]s. Goobles are among the most common enemies in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', appearing in [[Delfino Plaza]], [[Bianco Hills]], [[Ricco Harbor]], [[Noki Bay]], and [[Pianta Village]].
| | Once a Swoopin' Stu spots [[Mario]], they will turn white for a second before making a disturbing "bwooww-wop" noise and swooping at him. They appear prominently during battles with [[Piranha Plant in the Generator|Piranha Plants]] spawned from [[Goop Generator]]s, swooping at Mario whenever they have the chance and disrupting his own attacks on the Piranha Plant. |

| Despite the [[Prima Games]] guide using the name "Swoopin' Stu," Goobles are not presented as a relative of [[Strollin' Stu]]s and do not resemble them. However, their internal filename is rendered similarly to Strollin' Stu's Japanese name, suggesting they may have had an intended relationship at some point in development. [[List of Super Mario Sunshine pre-release and unused content|Early pre-release material]] depicted Goobles with a more slug-like appearance.
| | Swoopin' Stus can be destroyed with a blast of water from [[F.L.U.D.D.]] or by being [[Jump]]ed on, though the latter method will leave behind a puddle of Goop that can spawn more Swoopin' Stus. This can be avoided, however, if they are jumped on while they are in the air. Stomping on them also causes them to occasionally drop [[Water Bottle]]s. Eventually, Swoopin' Stus pop even without provocation, but will not leave goop. |

| In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', the name "Gooble" can appear on the leaderboard.
