Each Gooble is composed of a round translucent body filled with [[goop]], with a pair of eyes and a small cluster of hair or antennae on top. Goobles move by sliding across the ground on a set of small tentacles or fringe. Goobles come in a variety of colors, such as red, blue, light blue, green, pink, yellow, and orange, as well as different sizes, but they all share the same behavior.

Goobles can appear wherever goop is found, but they are prominently found during battles with [[Proto Piranha|Gatekeepers]], where they continuously spawn from their Generators. Once spawned, a Gooble simply moves forward for a short moment, without leaving any trail, before exploding into a small puddle of goop. If it spots [[Mario]], it will begin slowly chasing after him. If it gets close enough to him, the Gooble will begin flashing white before it makes a sound and lunges at him, exploding on impact while also leaving goop behind. 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 Gooble. 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.

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]].
