Swipin' Stu

Swipin' Stu (also known as Flying Goomba, Doro Kuri and Kuri ) is a green variety of Winged Strollin' Stu in the game Super Mario Sunshine that appears in episodes 5, 6, 7 and 8 of Pinna Park on its beach.

Swipin' Stus are larger than the blue Winged Strollin' Stus. The green pattern travels over the Stu's head, similar to a hoodie. Their skin is slightly darker than that of a normal Strollin' Stu. Swipin' Stus attack when Mario walks beneath them, attempting to land on him. If a Swipin' Stu succeeds, it steals his cap and spontaneously sprouts a mustache similar to Mario's. Without his cap, Mario slowly loses health when in direct sunlight. To retrieve his cap, Mario must either Ground Pound the Swipin' Stu and take it back, or re-enter Pinna Park. Swipin' Stus drop five coins when defeated.

Originally, Swipin' Stus with feet and no wings were intended to appear during the boss fight with King Boo. They do not appear in the final game.
