Despite their original name, they bear very little resemblance to the [[Strollin' Stu]] enemy. Swoopin' Stus are composed of a round translucent body filled with [[goop]], with a pair of eyes and a small cluster of hair or antennae on top. They move by sliding across the ground on a set of small tentacles or fringe. Swoopin' Stus come in a variety of colors, such as red, blue, light blue, green, pink, yellow and orange, as well as different sizes, but they all share the same behavior.

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.


Swoopin' Stus can appear wherever goop is found, but are prominently found during battles with [[Proto Piranha|Gatekeepers]], where they will continuously spawn from their Generators. Once spawned, a Swoopin' Stu will simply move forward for a short moment, without leaving any trail, before exploding into a small puddle of goop. If it spots [[Mario]], it will begin slowly chasing after him. If it gets close enough to him, the Swoopin' Stu will begin flashing white before it makes a sound and lunges at Mario, exploding on impact while also leaving goop behind. Swoopin' Stus can be destroyed with a blast of water from [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] or by being [[jump]]ed on, though the latter method leaves 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. [[Stomp]]ing on them also causes them to occasionally drop [[Water Bottle]]s.
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]].

Goobles,[1] originally referred to as Swoopin' Stus[2] or Name Kuri[3] in companion guidebooks, are gelatinous enemies in Super Mario Sunshine. They emerge from piles of goop throughout the game and appear in a wide variety of colors, but unlike Cheep-Cheeps or Koopa Troopas, 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 FLUDD or when stomped, 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 Bottles. Goobles stop appearing in areas when all of the goop is cleared, otherwise they spawn indefinitely. They are most prominent during battles with Proto Piranhas. Goobles are among the most common enemies in Super Mario Sunshine, appearing in Delfino Plaza, Bianco Hills, Ricco Harbor, Noki Bay, and Pianta Village.

Despite the Prima Games guide using the name "Swoopin' Stu," Goobles are not presented as a relative of Strollin' Stus 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. Early pre-release material depicted Goobles with a more slug-like appearance.

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