The Giant Stu and Stackin' Stu appear to be one and the same. They both only appear in [[Pinna Park]] as one enemy group; they aren't seen without one another. I'm not sure if Stackin' Stu's name is official (there's no ref on that page and I can't find one myself), but the Giant Stu's name isn't. Makes sense to me that the Giant Stu page should be merged with the Stackin' Stu one. Should Giant Stu be merged, it's page should be deleted due to an unofficial name.

{{Proposal outcome|passed|1-11-0|merge with Strollin' Stu}}
I feel the above proposal was misunderstood. The proposal was misinterpreted as it being merged with [[Strollin' Stu]]. While they are indeed bigger than the normal Strollin' Stus, the Strollin' Stus can have multiple sizes, and this giant Strollin' Stu is never seem appart from its stack. Unlike any other big enemies, they aren't considered to be a separate entity.

#{{User|Alex95}} - Per my original thoughts. It makes more sense to me to have it merged with the only group it appears with rather than the generic species member.

#{{User|Mister Wu}} Considering how the Giant Stus are seen outside of Dangos as well and considering how Strollin' Stus of different sizes are definitely a thing, I think it makes sense to just merge them with Strollin' Stus

Doc, I don't recall them appearing anywhere else, but I could probably be wrong. I certainly don't remember them appearing at the Airstrip or the Cannon secret. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:50, July 7, 2019 (EDT)

:You should look at Mister Wu's message. Strollin' Stu are found in multiple sizes in Delfino Airstrip, or look [https://youtu.be/T1FLjlFIPSU?t=197 here]. - {{User:LudwigVon/sig}}

::In the Airstrip they appear as Ludwig said, making them appear outside of Dango, making them literally just Stus that are larger, which does not mean anything due to how much Stus sizes vary.{{User:Doomhiker/sig}}

::::Alright, I'm convinced. btw, you can just remove your votes if no one's pering yours (everyone in opposed). {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:27, July 7, 2019 (EDT)
:::::Normal Strollin' Stus appear in the cannon secret, where they pop out of pictures of them on a wall at the end of the long green platform iirc. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 17:12, July 7, 2019 (EDT)
::::::Are other enemies multi-sized? --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 11:48, July 8, 2019 (EDT)
:::::::Like I already said, Swoopin' Stu comes in numerous sizes, often right next to each other. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 15:32, July 8, 2019 (EDT)
::::::::Does the stack has a separate model from the parent species? And is the one from the stack a part of the model? --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 09:38, July 9, 2019 (EDT)
:::::::::Stacked Strollin' Stus use the same base model as Strollin' Stu, much like Goomba Towers and similar enemies in other games. Oddly enough, despite the guides borrowing liberally from the game's filenames, I see no references to "Dango" in the <tt>hamukurianm</tt> animation folder or a reason why <tt>sambo</tt> would be called "Dango Flower" as seen in the BradyGames guide. My only guess is that someone associated the word "dango" with "segments" for some reason. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 10:20, July 9, 2019 (EDT)
::::::::::I assumed it came from the word "dangle," like what the dudes not on bottom are doing. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 14:52, July 9, 2019 (EDT)
:::::::::::Well, {{file link|SMWGPB4 Larry Dangos.png|these are the Dangos they are likely referencing}}.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 16:14, July 9, 2019 (EDT)
::::::::::::That seems to fit the visual of Strollin' Stus and Pokey as round objects stacked together, actually. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 16:30, July 9, 2019 (EDT)
:::::::::::::Oh, that's what the kebabcicles are actually called? Huh. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 16:50, July 9, 2019 (EDT)
::::::::::::::Not sure about kebab since they are a Japanese food, still it's curious that they likely used those to refer to the stacked enemies, it makes me wonder if it was an idea of the developers who then told BradyGames or if it was just a smarter version of the ''moles'', ''bats'', ''turtles'' names the translators use when they don't have any English name to work with.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 20:46, July 9, 2019 (EDT)
:::::::::::::::Dumpling might be the term you're looking for. That's what ''Mother 3'' fan translation used of a similar looking food. [[User:SmokedChili|SmokedChili]] ([[User talk:SmokedChili|talk]]) 09:03, July 14, 2019 (EDT)
::::::::::::::::Only while multiple are on a stick... [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 14:43, July 14, 2019 (EDT)
