They were previously named for the [[Strollin' Stu]], but they do not closely resemble Strollin' Stus, instead appearing as round slug-like creatures. They come in a large variety of colors, as well as some size variation, although they all act exactly the same. For the most part, unless Goobles see [[Mario]], they generally wander in an outward direction without any real, apparent purpose and do not create a larger "goop area" unless they fall off a ledge and pop on impact. [[Petey Piranha]]'s goop is also capable of creating Goobles.

Once a Gooble spots Mario, it turns white for a second before making a "bwooww-wop" noise and performing a kamikaze jump towards his location, leaving goop behind. Goobles appear prominently during battles with [[Proto Piranha]]s, spawned from their base, swooping at Mario whenever they have the chance and disrupting his own attacks on the Gatekeeper.

Goobles can be destroyed with a blast of water from [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] or by being [[jump]]ed on, though the latter method leaves behind a puddle of goop that can spawn more Swoopin' Stus. This can be avoided, however, if they are jumped on while they are in the air. [[Stomp]]ing on them also causes them to occasionally drop [[Water Bottle]]s. Eventually, Goobles pop even without provocation but do not leave goop.

Goobles were originally intended to have a more slug-like design in the game, [[List of Super Mario Sunshine pre-release and unused content|but their design was changed in the final version]].
