Stu

This big nosed, oval shaped creature looks harmless, but can be quite a challenge in pacts.

What is Stu?
A Stu is the equivalent of a Goomba. It behaves almost identicially to a Goomba as well, with the exception of a few traits. The traits vary between the Sub-Types of Stu.

You may be wondering, why not just put Goomba's in the game? What's the point of creating a whole new enemy if it's just going to behave like the ones it's replacing?

The most likely answer stems from the fact that Super Mario Sunshine is not your typical Mario game. Delfino Island and all of the other Locations were made up for the sake of making this game unique. It only makes sense that the Enemies and Characters are unique as well.

Types of Stu
There are five main types of Stu:

1 . Smolderin' Stu

2. Soarin' Stu

3. Strollin' Stu

4. Swipin' Stu

5. Swoopin' Stu

There is a rumor of a sixth type of Stu that was taken out of the game, it was to be called "Tramplin' Stu". If you wish to learn about Tramplin' Stu, click on the link, but please note that the final version of Super Mario Sunshine does not contain it.
