Talk:Swoopin' Stu

From the Super Mario Wiki

I've searched Google for both "Name Kuri" and "Name Quri" and I've found nothing. Can anyone confirm the name of these enemies? --Son of Suns 03:25, 6 July 2006 (EDT)

Again, I would like to ask where this name originated, even if it's just a conjectural name. -- Son of Suns

I have both the NP and the Prima guides for SMS, but only Prima gives a name: Swoopin' Stu. Monty Mole (Talk·Contribs) 11:13, 29 October 2006 (EST)

I thought Swoopin' Stus were the flying form of Strollin' Stus. That would make sense, right? -- Son of Suns

But why name it "Name Kuri"? That name seems highly obscure and doesnt make sense. – Spike

The "Name" is "Kurintly" unknown! Ha ha ha ha hooookay that wasn't funny. I agree with Spike, where'd that name come from? Para Yoshi ^Wahoo! 20:31, 29 October 2006 (EST)

Son of Suns, that's a Swipin' Stu. Because they swipe Mario's Hat. Monty Mole (Talk·Contribs) 15:48, 30 October 2006 (EST)

They're just like a Goomba, but they leap on Mario to attack. 3dejong

Name Kuri appeared in a startegy guide as well. Superchao 20:24, 30 October 2006 (EST)

What about the flying "Strollin' Stus" that fly back and forth but don't attempt to steal Mario's hat? Are those "Swoopin' Stus"? -- Son of Suns

Yup! I'm currently working on articles for all the "Stu"s. 3dejong

Still, this doesn't explain where the name came from! And Name Kuri just sound tooo weird<<< Knife

The flying Stus that don't steel your hat are called Flying Strollin' Stus. User:Bob Greenlake

I'm tired of asking. WHERE DID THE NAME COME FROM?<<< Knife

Superchao, the name comes from a strategy guide? Which strategy guide and could you post a copy? -- Ghost Jam 01:45, 7 December 2006 (EST)

The Primagames guide. TheGreatBlockyBoo 18:35, 19 December 2006 (EST)

[edit] Spawn

What the? What's the source for this name? Wa _T^C_@ | Mi Youtube 17:18, 19 December 2006 (EST)

[edit] 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)

I made up the name "Stackin' Stu". And what about the flaming Stus? 3D, {{{1}}}

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 ^_^)

That's offical. Para Yoshi ^Wahoo! 19:07, 19 December 2006 (EST)

WAHOO! Dunt dunt dunt! I GOT IT RIGHT! WOOT! :) :) :) :)! Lucky me! Confetti! Streamers! Cake! Uhh... OK. Sorry. Anyway, so we need to change titles to be canonical, correcto? 3D, {{{1}}}

This probably means they are related to Stus.<<< Knife

WHERE did this 'official' information come from? That's what I'd like to know. A Prima (or any non-nintendo source) guide could hardly be called official. -- Ghost Jam 01:54, 21 December 2006 (EST)

A Nintendo Power miniguide is where I got it. However, I am not sure that Swipin' Stu is correct beacause I found that out at Lemmy's Land. Para Yoshi ^Wahoo! 10:43, 21 December 2006 (EST)

To be completely honest, these creatures don't look anything like Stus. And I guess we can settle there is no official name, if nobody can name an official source. Cobold 10:16, 13 February 2007 (EST)

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)

Has anyone created an article for the flying stu's (not the swipin' stu). Someone mentioned the name "soarin' stu", yet I can't find an article under that name or any other for the flying stu's. Is there simply no article for them yet?

Check out Soarin' Stu for the one in the secret stage and Droppin' Stu for the ones on Pinna Beach Ep. 3. --Soodo Dynomite

[edit] You Sure?

These goop monsters are called Swoopin' STUS? they are definitely NOT stus. I always thought they were called Goopies. Should I move to Goopy? --THEY'RE NOT STUS!!

What I said before, they're definitely not Stus, but we don't know what they are instead. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 14:33, 6 March 2008 (EST)
