Swoopin' Stu

Swoopin' Stus are an enemy in Super Mario Sunshine
==Profile==
===Physical description===
Swoopin' Stus are transparent jellyfish-like creatures. Swoopin' Stus have a round, translucent body, a set of small tentacles or fringe to move around on, a pair of eyes, a small cluster of hair on top. Swoopin' Stus have a ball of goop contained within their body, and they appear in a variety of colors, including red, blue, light blue, green, purple, yellow, and orange, as well as different sizes.
===Behavior===
Swoopin' Stus spawn from goop puddles. When this occurs, it briefly moves forward before exploding into a small puddle of goop. If a Swoopin' Stu notices Mario, it begins to slowly move in his direction. Swoopin' Stus cannot move fast. If a Swoopin' Stu is close enough to Mario, it begins to flash white, meows like a cat, and jumps in Mario's direction, exploding on impact while also leaving goop behind.
==In Super Mario Sunshine==
Swoopin' Stus most commonly appear in battles with Polluted Piranha Plants, appearing in as early as Delfino Airstrip, as they repeatedly spawn from a Polluted Piranha Plant's Generator. Mario can defeat a Swoopin' Stu using a blast of water from FLUDD, which also clears away goop. While Mario can also jump onto a Swoopin' Stu, this leaves behind a puddle of goop from which more Swoopin' Stus can spawn. However. if Mario jumps onto a Swoopin' Stu while it is in midair, it can be properly defeated, as it does not spawn a goop puddle. A Swoopin' Stu sometimes drops a Water Bottle upon being stomped.
== Trivia ==
*In beta versions of Super Mario Sunshine, Swoopin' Stus had a wider bottom, no head tentacles, and they did not make any sound. They did not even turn white to let Mario know they were pouncing.
*In the Mario Portal website as well as the Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia, they are named Goobles. The name "Gooble" was first used on the leaderboard in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour.
