They are [[Goomba]]-like creatures, each with a squat and pudgy body, a bulbous nose, bright reddish-pinkish high-tucked spotted trousers, and a waddling gait.


==History==
Strollin' Stu's are squat, pudgy creatures, somewhat similar to [[Goombas]], so much that fans and strategy guides call them Goombas, that are native to [[Isle Delfino]], or they could have been created by [[Shadow Mario]] as in Bianco Hills they are shown to be made of goop. Though in later appearences they aren't shown with this feature meaning that they could've gotten into contact with the goop as such gained goop powers similar to [[Petey Piranha]]. With their bulbous noses, high-tucked spotted trousers, and waddling gait, they are a cute and comical sight. They are particularly hostile and will charge if approached. There are also [[Para' Stu]]s and [[Flamin' Stu]]s along with [[[Flaming Para' Stu]]s. They can also steal Mario's hat, causing him to get damaged from the rays of the sun. A simple stomp on the head will do them in, however. Strollin' Stus can be found in [[Delfino Airstrip]], [[Bianco Hills]], [[Pinna Park]] and some secret areas. They're easy to defeat in large groups by using a quick squirt from [[FLUDD]].
===''Super Mario Sunshine''===
Strollin' Stus charge at [[Mario]] should he get too close. If sprayed with [[water]], they flip over, allowing Mario to spray or kick them away. Strollin' Stus can be defeated by [[jump]]ing on them, by having a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] eat them, or by spraying or kicking them into a wall, causing them to splatter and occasionally release [[coin]]s. If Mario jumps on a knocked-over Strollin' Stu while multiple have been sprayed, all of them are defeated, and if Mario does this with at least three Strollin' Stus, a [[1-Up Mushroom]] appears. Strollin' Stus appear with slight differences in size throughout the game, though generally they all act the same.


In [[Road to the Big Windmill|Episode 1]] of [[Bianco Hills]], a special variety of Strollin' Stu appears, being constantly spawned from a thick blob of brown [[goop]] on the ground. These Strollin' Stus have a spatter of brown goop on their heads, but they are otherwise identical to other Strollin' Stus. The brown [[Proto Piranha#Generators|Generator]] pops like a bubble upon being sprayed. In certain secret areas, Strollin' Stus can also be spawned indefinitely from pictures of them on walls; these Strollin' Stus lack the spatter on their heads, and their Generator simply gets washed away like normal [[graffiti]] markings.
Strollin' Stus, so far, have only appeared in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.


In [[Pinna Park]], a stack of ten smaller Strollin' Stus upon a large Strollin' Stu appears, sometimes referred to as a '''Dango'''.<ref name="Super Mario Sunshine Versus Books"/><ref>{{cite|author=Bogenn and Walsh|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Official Strategy Guide|page=6}}</ref> A Dango appears in every episode taking place in the park itself underneath a wooden bridge near the [[Pinna Park#Roller Coaster|Roller Coaster]]. Mario can use [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] to spray and knock down the small Strollin' Stus in order to jump on the large one. Alternatively, defeating the large Strollin' Stu first eliminates the rest of the stack at once, though it uniquely cannot be turned into a [[Yoshi Platform]]. Defeating the Dango produces a [[Blue Coin]].


===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[Category: Species]]
A Strollin' Stu has a major role in the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' chapter "The Super-Sad Red Coin Tale!" In the chapter, Mario encounters a Strollin' Stu who is spreading paint with a paintbrush. The Strollin' Stu falls over, catching FLUDD's attention. After being sprayed with water, the Strollin' Stu explains that he has not recently hit his job quota, which is to cover the town in paint. Expressing his fatigue and lack of vacation days, he says that his sister is ill and that they would be "done for at this rate," unless Mario can collect eight [[Red Coin]]s to cure his sister's illness. Mario initially leaves him; however, the Strollin' Stu mentions that his sister won a beauty contest, interesting Mario. During this part of the chapter, he ends his sentences with "-Stu" (i.e., "Mario, it's in your hands-Stu"). Mario collects and gives him the Red Coins, and, speaking normally, the Strollin' Stu informs Mario that his sister's illness was a lie. His sister, covered in makeup and wearing bows on her head, congratulates her brother. He reveals that his plan was to have Mario get himself hurt while gathering the Red Coins, allowing him to defeat Mario, while using the Red Coins collected to "rise up in the rankings." Mario informs him that the Red Coins he gave him were actually tomato slices, then uses the real Red Coins to heal himself before punching the Strollin' Stu.
