8 Weirdest Enemies Cut From Video Games

2. Tramplin' Stu (Super Mario Sunshine)

Another axed enemy from a Nintendo-published game, Tramplin' Stu (also known as HinoKuri) was originally planned to appear in Super Mario Sunshine, but was removed for the final release.

However, the enemy's files still exist within the game, and it can still be encountered if you have the hacking know-how.

Tramplin' Stu looks like an enormous orange mushroom with legs, and has perhaps one of the weirdest superpowers in video game history: it can poop out smaller enemies. These tinier foes will then chase after Mario until they're squashed, or, alternatively, the plumber can defeat the main Tramplin' Stu itself - by spraying it with water - at which point, the excretion will stop.

Tramplin' Stu was even featured in some of the game's trailers, so it looks like it was cut quite late in the game. Why? Well, that's a mystery. Maybe it was because a monster that craps out other monsters is an absolutely horrifying concept.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
