'''Big Tail Goombas''' are a variety of [[Big Goomba]]s attached with [[Raccoon Mario|tail]]s that debut in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', and appear frequently as late-game enemies in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series.
'''Grand Tail Goombas''' are a sub-species of Grand Goombas that have been given Tanooki tails that appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. Like normal [[Tail Goomba]]s, they move by leaping into the air, hovering to another area close to them, then swinging their tails upon landing; however, because they are larger than the average Goomba, their tail swing attack covers a larger radius. They are not much bigger than normal Goombas, though, due to their size being cut down to fit the 3DS screen.  


==History==
They first appear in [[World 1 (Super Mario 3D Land)#World 1-1|World 1-1]], but seldom appear after that. Grand Tail Goombas give the player three [[coin]]s when defeated, and in [[World 5 (Super Mario 3D Land)#World 5-5|World 5-5]], one gives the player a [[Super Leaf]].

Big Tail Goombas first appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. Like normal [[Tail Goomba]]s, they move by leaping into the air, hovering to another area close to them, then swinging their tails upon landing—however, because they are larger than the average [[Goomba]], their tail swing attack covers a larger radius.


They are rare as only five appear in the entire game: one appears in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 1-1]], and four appear in [[World 5-5 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 5-5]]. Big Tail Goombas give the player three [[coin]]s when defeated, and in World 5-5, one gives the player a [[Super Leaf]].

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
{{Goomba}}
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', Big Tail Goombas are found in [[Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle]]. They do not show up on the map. Instead, they appear alongside [[Mechakoopa]]s or [[Antasman|Antasmen]] in battles.
In battle, the large Goombas have two attacks. The first has them hovering towards [[Mario]], then dropping down with a flip. This can be countered with a hammer, causing it to land on and damage another enemy. If countered, this attack may repeat multiple times. If it hits, Mario may become [[dizzy]]. The second attack has them spinning across the ground toward Mario, attempting to match his vertical position. Mario can move out of the way or jump over the Big Tail Goomba in this attack. The other enemies briefly rearrange their positions during this attack, and they too will take damage if the Goomba spins into them. The Big Tail Goomba may become dizzy during the attack, signified by a more violent spin; in this case, it will stop in front of Mario for a second, then walk into him.
 
====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
Big Tail Goomba returns in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. They are found in [[Bowser's Castle]]. Like in ''Dream Team'', they do not appear on the map, instead appearing in battle alongside [[Boomerang Bro]]s, [[Paper Boomerang Bro]]s and [[Paper Dry Bones]]. They can also be fought in one room of [[Neo Bowser Castle]].
 
In battle, they have two attacks. Similar to ''Dream Team'', their first attack has them hovering towards any one of the trio. They then will drop from the air onto the brother, who must then counter with the hammer. The Goomba can repeat this attack up to five times in one turn if countered successfully, each time damaging another enemy in the process. The second attack has them briefly glancing toward [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], then jumping in front of the brother and spinning their tail, which must be jumped over. It can do this twice in one turn if dodged, after which it will spin toward Paper Mario, who must jump over the Goomba. The last attack can be countered if Paper Mario manages to land on top of the Goomba, and if countered it will damage any other enemies involved in the battle.
 
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
[[File:MLSSBMBigTailGoomba.png|thumb]]
Big Tail Goombas appear in story mode of ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', where they appear as enemies and recruitable allies. They are melee troopers, and attack by running into enemies. Their special attack, Spin Cycle, allows them to damage enemies by spinning their tails. Big Tail Goombas have high HP and power.
 
====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', Big Tail Goombas appear in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode as enemies and recruitable allies. They return as melee troops, and are weak against [[Ninji]]s and yellow [[Shy Guy]]s. The player can only recruit two Big Tail Goombas as an ally, as recruiting a third one will force to player to dismiss one of them.
