Super Mario Sunshine Famously Contains "Kug", A Normally Unseen Goomba Sprite In A Unique Art Style That

Super Mario Sunshine famously contains "Kug", a normally unseen Goomba sprite in a unique art style that can be found out of bounds underneath Pinna Park. It is stationary and does nothing except shock Mario if he clips underground and touches it.

However, an unused object exists in the game that is called "TypicalManager" which continuously spawns a different type of Kug. These Kugs simply move slowly across the ground and are neither harmed by Mario nor can harm Mario themselves.

Given the name of the object, this was likely used to test "typical" enemy behaviors, such as walking.
