Some fans believe that the [[Swoopin' Stu]] enemy from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' is actually named "Gooble"<ref>https://weirdmarioenemies.tumblr.com/post/680353941127610368/name-gooble-it-is-named-gooble - An example of someone making the mistake.</ref> despite the fact that no official sources have ever referred to it as such. This error was most likely taken from the Super Mario Wiki as the "Swoopin' Stu" page on the site was renamed to Gooble in February 2015, the source given was from the scoreboard of ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' as "Gooble" was one of the names listed on the scoreboard this was a stretch as while the scoreboard does list the names of characters, enemies, and species in the franchise we've seen before, it also lists some random names we've never seen before as well (such as "Akiko", Lillygreen", "Dano", etc.) and someone thought that "Gooble" was the name for "Swoopin' Stu" without considering the possibility that "Gooble" may've been one of those random names.

This caused widespread confusion in the community however on March 2019, the page's name was renamed back to "Swoopin' Stu" and it remained this way until August 2022 where it was renamed back to "Gooble" with the unfurling of the English Mario Portal a month prior however it has been established that the English Mario Portal is not a legitimate or reliable source and therefore none of the names on there should be taken as official. External sources such as Nintendo Power, Prima Games, and several others have all used "Swoopin' Stu" (and none have used "Gooble") as the name which pretty much confirms that Swoopin' Stu is the correct name and "Gooble" is merely another random name seen on the scoreboard of ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''.
