== The Stus ==

I have the Prima guide, so here are all the Stus.

Basic Stu = Strollin' Stu

Flying Stu = Flying Strollin' Stu

"Spawn" = Swoopin' Stu

Stus that steal your hat = Swipin' Stu

Those flippin' huge Stus that have the Strollin' Stus on their heads = Stackin' Stus (I think I made that one up, I'm not actually looking at the guide, I'm just remembered)

{{User:Mariofan132/sig}} at 5:49 PM

I made up the name "Stackin' Stu". And what about the flaming Stus? {{User:3dejong/sig}}

Okay, I didn't know these articles needed so much help.

*Strollin' Stu = Strollin' Stu
*Winged Strollin' Stu = Soarin' Stu
*Flamin' Stu = Smolderin' Stu
*Spawn = Swoopin' Stu
*Stealin' Hat Stu = Swipin' St
*Stackin' Stu = Stackin' Stu (correct ^_^)

I don't know about the official english names, but the Japanese names for both the "stu" enemies and the "goop" enemy consist of the word "kuri" as well as another word which I would assume is an adjective. I think that at least points towards the two groups being related. 
My source is here: http://www.neoseeker.com/resourcelink.html?rlid=143014
(the author of the walkthrough cites his source as a Bradygames Strategy Guide)

::I agree! :) Theze creaturez are NOTHING like boygeyz. (I find "boygey" moar respectful than "stu".) MAny reazons why:
*Boygey eyes are black & slanted. Theze things have white round eyes.
*Boygeys seem to be born moar naturally.
*Boygeys wear pink polkadotted pants & blue shoes. Swoopin-stus wear nothing; they don't even have feet!
*Swoopin-Stus DON'T have a nose at all.
*Boygeys aren't transparent.
*Boygeys are moar friendly than swoopin-stus. (I always see boygeys as kindhearted & misunderstood.)
*Swoopin-stus seem to lack intelligence & only live for a few seconds.
*Swoopin-Stus are as fragile as a bubble.
*As stated above, Swoopin-Stus are unable to squeak. They instead go "Bwowwop".

& there you have it. Also because of this, I refer to theze things as ''Goopers''. {{User:BoygeyMario/sig}}


==Toadstool Tour==
It says the name "Gooble" came from a scorecard in ''Toadstool Tour''. Is there any indication it was referring to these, and not, say, [[Glorpedo]] or [[Goop Generator]]? [[Eely-Mouth|There were some]] [[Plungelo|pretty baffling things]] [[Phantamanta|to make the]] [[Mecha-Bowser|scorecard]], (which seemed to be primarily characters and bosses, not generic enemies) so I wouldn't throw all possibility aside.

:Well, "Glorpedo" already appears on the scorecard (according to the page's trivia), and it seems unlikely that there would be two separate names for the same subject. It's technically possible that "Glorpedo" actually refers to what we're currently calling Gooble and vice-versa, but I'd associate "Glorpedo" with the objects being launched as projectiles (like a torp'''edo'''). {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:40, 5 October 2017 (EDT)

::::::::::Checked on model resource and the name of the objects are "namekuri", and some others are different but end up with "kuri". According to TCRF, Strollin' Stus and its variants have "Kuri" in their name, we're possibly intended to be named "Kuri" in the developpement, but ended up being "Kurin". Further more, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDVZSkalR-U a large Chestnut-like enemy which the object itself is called HinoKuri] can drop Strollin' Stus. I think it ended up being unused. Since it also drops Swoopin' Stus, this might be another indication that Swoopin' Stu we're POSSIBLY intended to be Strollin' Stu relatives before it was changed. (Name Kuri was thought to be made up but comes from the Swoopin' Stu model). Is Tramplin Stu an official name, or is it also a fan-made name? --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 12:14, 25 January 2019 (EST)
:::::::::::Definitely fan-made. It also looks nothing like a Stu, beyond the optional chestnut-shaped helmet (which itself looks nothing like a Stu).

[[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 12:41, 25 January 2019 (EST)
::::::::::::I actually think it's certainly ''plausible'', given that the English ''Super Mario Sunshine'' guides had access to development materials (most notably Wire Trap, but it's more obvious in the BradyGames and Versus guides, which reportedly had an almost entirely different set of enemy names that match internal ones).

Hold on, another overlooked detail. I'll need to be brief, but anyways, in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPAQUvyKKX0 very early trailer], around Hinokuri, smaller Hinokuri-like creatures that seem to waver around in a sluglike manner can be seen, and seem to spawn from right underneath it. Given how Hinokuri spawns these Swoopy things and Strollin' Stus in the final's test area, it would surprise me if this wasn't an early rendition of one of these.

== Stu? ==

Why are these considered a variant of Strollin' Stus, besides the English name? I mean, they don't really look like each other, and their Japanese names are completely different. [[Special:Contributions/85.243.109.179|85.243.109.179]] 08:29, April 6, 2021 (EDT)
:Because that was a recent revision I had not caught. It's fixed now. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 14:14, April 6, 2021 (EDT)

::I think they are suppose to be a variety of Stu. The internal file name for the enemy is "Namekuri". The suffix "-kuri" likely is related to "Hamukuri", the internal file name for Strollin' Stu, which suggests an intentional relationship at least during the development stage. You're right, the enemies do not initially seem like they should be related, but it is partially for that reason alone I would think they have some officially recognized relationship. If Prima Games (e.g. not the localizers at Nintendo Treehouse, who have direct regular communications with the Japanese developers) came up with the English name for this enemy, I would have suspected that they would have localized it under a different name (e.g. "Goopy Slug" or something like that).

::I think it's worth noting that, according to the Japanese release of the ''Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia'', the enemies in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' are not naturally occurring beings: they were created by Bowser Jr. and are made out of goop. This may have been a retroactive attribution made to give some context to the game in paratext, but there are environmental and behavioral details within the game that suggests this was a legitimate detail they had in mind when making ''Super Mario Sunshine'', one of which being that Swoopin' Stus spawn from goop. My assumption is that Swoopin' Stu is a primordial Stu, which is why it looks gelatinous and without clear form. I think it is noteworthy that the giant Piranha Plants in the goop have most recently been localized as "[[Proto Piranha Plant]]s". "Proto" suggests they also are a primordial form of the regular Piranha Plant enemies in the game, so it not something that seems like a stretch to apply to Swoopin' Stus, or at least it does not seem like one to me. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 14:20, April 6, 2021 (EDT)
:::While they may have both been based off Goomba in development, I think it needs noting that the Strollin' Stus in the initial trailer (featuring the infamous Hinokuri) look a lot more like normal Goombas than in the final, while Swoopin' Stu's final JP name is more similar to [[Milde]]s' than Goombas'. I think there was enough divergence in development that they're ''certainly'' no more similar than, say, Electrokoopa and Snooza Koopa, which are both still Troopas in the final version (but one is not a subtype of the other).

-: Well, considering that the Mario Portal constantly calls Banzai Bills "Boomer Bills" even in early translations and calls Antottos "ants", I don't think so. Plus, it's important to remember that Prima most likely didn't know the "true name" of these guys, see "Plungelo" which are ''never'' called that in strategy guides because the name comes from one generic, random NPC.

In fact, I sincerely think the ''Super Mario Land 2'' generic names were researched since it spotted the name for Tōsanbōru before us.
