A Smolderin' Stu,[1] also named Flaming Goomba,[2] Moe Kuri,[3] and Moe Kauri,[4] is a type of Strollin' Stu in Super Mario Sunshine. Its main distinction is the ability to be covered in flames yet be apparently unharmed. A Smolderin' Stu can put Mario on fire on contact. If the flames are removed, its bright red skin becomes a dark charred brown. Smolderin' Stus can be defeated from having FLUDD spray water at them. Smolderin' Stus appear only at Pinna Park in the episode "Mecha-Bowser Appears!" and at Sirena Beach in the episode "King Boo Down Below," in the King Boo boss fight.
In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, the name "Smolderin' Stu" appears on the leaderboard in the Sands Classic tournament. The name also reappears in Mario Golf: Advance Tour.
