'''Goombas''', initially called '''Little Goombas''',<ref>{{cite|date=1985|title=''Super Mario Bros.'' instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=10}}</ref> are one of the major species of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Since their first game appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', they have become the most iconic and common enemies in the entire ''Super Mario'' franchise followed by [[Koopa Troopa]]s, appearing in the vast majority of games. They are usually the first enemy the player encounters. They are small, brown, mushroom-like creatures with two feet, tan stems, and no arms or legs. Goombas are weak and are not much of a threat to [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], since a single [[stomp]] usually defeats them, although a number of different Goomba variants have emerged that are usually stronger in some way, and even regular Goombas occasionally drop hints of being much stronger and more competent than their appearances suggest, as in the case of [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]].

The Goombas, as a collective race, used to be allied with the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. However, most of the Goombas turned traitorous and joined [[Bowser's Minions]]. Since ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', however, Goombas not allied with [[Bowser]] have appeared. Some non-hostile Goombas, such as the inhabitants of [[Goomba Village (location)|Goomba Village]], live in the Mushroom Kingdom, while others simply reside in other locations such as [[Monstro Town]] and [[Rogueport]].
==Creation==
The Goomba was the last enemy created during the development process of ''Super Mario Bros.'' despite being the first encountered. During development, the only basic enemy was the Koopa Troopa. However, playtesters had stated that the Koopa Troopa was too tricky of an enemy to have as the first one. Using this, the developers decided to create an enemy that could be defeated with just a single stomp. The Goomba itself was created with the appearance of a {{wp|shiitake}} mushroom. Since the enemy was created toward the end of the development cycle, though, hardly any bytes remained on the cartridge. Therefore, to give the enemy moving animations, the developers reused and flipped the image, making it appear to be walking.<ref>{{cite|url=iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/wii/nsmb/1/5|title=Iwata Asks: ''New Super Mario Bros.

Little Goombas first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' - referred to as that in that game's manual alone - and their original homeland is stated to be in the Mushroom Kingdom, which they share with the [[Toad (species)|mushroom retainer]]s. The two races lived in peace. However, at an unknown point in time, Little Goombas betrayed their neighbors and joined the [[Bowser's Minions|Turtle Empire]]. In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', Little Goombas are the most common enemy. In the game, they appear in almost every level (except underwater levels and most castles). They can be defeated by [[jump]]ing on them. They can also be defeated by shooting [[fireball]]s, [[Koopa Shell]]s, by hitting a block from below if they are on top of it, or by touching it while using a [[Super Star|Starman]]. Because of this, Little Goombas have the distinction of having two death animations: one for being squished from a stomp, and one for falling upside-down off-screen from the other aforementioned methods.

Due to the limited color palette of the NES, Little Goombas in underground levels are colored teal, and in castle levels, they are colored gray; in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' remake of the game, the Goombas in castle levels are grayish brown. Later games introduce numerous variants, including teal, subterranean [[Gloomba]]s, introduced in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', which play the same role in a ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' level meant to represent ''Super Mario Bros.''{{'}}s World 1-2.

If Mario or Luigi defeats the [[Impostor Bowser|fake Bowser]] of [[World 1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1]]'s castle with [[fireball]]s, it turns into its true form, a Little Goomba, before falling into the lava.

If the player completes the game and plays it again in the [[Hard Mode]], all Little Goombas are replaced with [[Buzzy Beetle]]s. In ''[[VS. Super Mario Bros.]]'', in order to prevent players from potentially performing the infinite 1-Up trick, some levels featuring either Koopas or Buzzy Beetles descending from staircases have those enemies replaced with Goombas instead.

Little Goombas flip between two sprites, giving them the appearance of walking. They also seem to lack a mouth, possibly due to it being too difficult to render in sprite form as a result of the graphical limitations of the time. They are the only enemies in this game to have two different "defeated" poses: one showing it being flattened after being stomped by Mario/Luigi, and the other simply being flipped upside-down. This has stuck in later games.

====''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''====
Goombas reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' with the same role and appearance as in its predecessor. Although [[Buzzy Beetle]]s are more prominent in the game, large numbers of Goombas also appear in packs of three or four. Goombas are also present in underwater levels and are gray with black eyebrows and feet in the [[Family Computer Disk System]] version due to sharing [[Blooper]]'s palette, while in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version they are standard brown. These Goombas cannot be stomped and can only be defeated with [[fireball]]s. As a result, in underwater levels, Goombas' death animations only depict them having their sprites flipped upside down. In the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version, much like in Hard Mode of the original, all Goombas in Worlds A-D are replaced with Buzzy Beetles. In ''[[All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros.]]'', all Goombas are replaced with [[OkaP]], but otherwise still act the same.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:SMAS SMB3 Shoe Goomba Screenshot.png|200px|thumb|left|A Goomba and [[Mario]] both in [[Goomba's Shoe]]s in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' remake of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'']]
Goombas, also referred to as Little Goombas,<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J.|date=October 21, 2003|title=''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-4425-9|page=26, 27, 33, 34, 46, 59, 64, 77, 89, 96}}</ref> reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where they can be found in every world except [[Dark Land]]. These Goombas are unchanged in behavior from their appearances in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. This game introduces the concept of Goomba variants such as [[Paragoomba|Para-Goomba]]s, winged Goombas that either fly and drop [[Mini Goomba|Micro-Goomba]]s if it is tan or simply hop if it is red, and [[Big Goomba|Grand Goomba]]s, which are bigger but they can be defeated the same way. The game marks the first time the Goomba's sprites are drawn with mouths. Red Goombas only appear after forcing a red Para-Goomba to lose its wings, and it has no discerning characteristics besides its red coloring.

The Goombas of [[World 5-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 5-3]] use a device known as the [[Goomba's Shoe]] (also known as the Kuribo's Shoe) to mimic the jumping abilities of Mario and Luigi. When in the green shoe, a [[Shoe Goomba|Kuribo's Goomba]] can jump towards Mario and Luigi instead of walking into them. If Mario or Luigi defeats the Goomba by hitting a block underneath it, if it is standing on a block, the boot is left behind. Mario or Luigi can ride Goomba's Shoes, allowing him to stomp to spiked and unstompable enemies and walk on [[Spike Trap|spike]]s and [[Muncher]] patches. When Mario or Luigi gets to the [[goal (Super Mario Bros. 3)|goal]], the Goomba's Shoe disappears.
{{br}}

====''Super Mario Land''====
{{main|Goombo}}
While the common Goombas do not appear in the game ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', a species known as the [[Goombo]] do. They lack the usual eyebrows, but act very similar to Goombas in other ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' titles.

====''Super Mario World''====
<!--NOTE TO EDITORS: Please do not change every instance of "Goomba" in this section to "Galoomba", even in the image caption. They are NOT typos, as they were known as "Goombas" in this game and therefore should use that name here. Please see MarioWiki:Naming#Name_changes for more information.-->
{{main|Galoomba}}
Normal Goombas [[List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content|were originally going to appear]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', but they were replaced by a different species (later known as [[Galoomba]]s). These chestnut-shaped Goombas are rounder than the traditional mushroom-shaped Goombas. They are knocked upside-down when jumped on instead of being defeated and are able to be picked up when in this state. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of the game, ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', after the player completes the [[Special Zone]], these Goombas are now colored yellow and wear sunglasses.

====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====
Goombas reappear in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', as well as returning [[Paragoomba|Para-Goomba]]s. In addition, a new [[Boo]]-like ghost variant known as [[Ghost Goomba]] is introduced, which appears in [[Pumpkin Zone]]. Another variety of Goombas known as [[Aqua Goomba]]s are also prominently featured in the final stage of the [[Turtle Zone]]. A Goomba-like enemy, [[Masked Ghoul]], is confirmed to be a masked Goomba in the game's [[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Kodansha adaptation]].

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
{{multiframe|[[File:SM64Goomba.png|125px]][[File:SM64DS Goombas.png|125px]]|Goombas as they appear in ''Super Mario 64'' (left) and ''Super Mario 64 DS'' (right).|size=250|align=left}}
Goombas make their first 3D appearance in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. They are still enemies, though behave slightly differently than before: instead of walking back and forth in a straight path, Goombas patrol a small area in a circular motion, and when one spots Mario, it charges toward him. If the Goomba hits Mario, he loses one fraction of [[Health Meter|health]], or a fraction and a half if he is without his [[Mario Cap|cap]]. Goombas can be defeated by either jumping on them, [[punch]]ing them, [[kick]]ing them, or by throwing an object at them, such as a [[Bob-omb]]. When defeated, they leave behind [[Coin|Yellow Coin]]s. Goombas often appear in pairs or groups of three. [[Big Goomba|Grand Goomba]]s and [[Mini Goomba|Goombette]]s also make an appearance, behaving like regular ones.

In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Goombas sometimes wear [[Mario Cap|Mario's cap]], [[Luigi Cap|Luigi's cap]], or [[Wario Cap|Wario's cap]], and if one spots a player character, it runs away from the player instead of charging towards him. After the player defeats it, wearing the cap transforms the current character into whoever normally wears that cap. Goombas also seem to appear in almost every course now, unlike in the original version, where they appear only in select areas, and can be eaten by [[Yoshi]] in this game. In certain [[Silver Star]] [[mission]]s, a Goomba may contain a Silver Star, which it drops when defeated. They also assist [[Goomboss]] during his fight in [[Goomboss Battle]].
{{br}}

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:NSMBDS Goomba Artwork.png|thumb|150px|Artwork from ''New Super Mario Bros.'']]
Goombas appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They act as they do in ''Super Mario Bros.'' [[Paragoomba]]s and [[Mini Goomba]]s also reappear. They are among the only enemies in the game to be represented by prerendered two-dimensional sprites rather than models.

A giant Goomba called the [[Mega Goomba (boss)|Mega Goomba]] serves as a boss in [[World 4-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-Castle]]. Unlike the regular Goombas in the game, the Mega Goomba is represented by a prerendered model, even before it grows.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:SMG Goomba and Mini Goomba size comparison.png|thumb|150px|left|A Goomba with a Micro Goomba in ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
Several types of Goombas appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Normal Goombas act similar to the ones in ''Super Mario 64''. When they see the player, they attempt to cause damage by running into them. Goombas can be defeated by jumping on them, releasing a [[coin]]. [[Spin]]ning one or shooting a [[Star Bit]] at one flips it down, stunning it. At that point, the player can run into it to kick it and defeat it, releasing three Star Bits. Aside from just appearing out in the field, Goombas can sometimes be found hidden in objects such as [[crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|crystal]]s and [[crate]]s. Goombas appear in most galaxies, but in [[Space Junk Galaxy]], the Goombas on the Yoshi Planet do not drop coins when they are defeated. In addition to the regular Goombas, [[Mini Goomba|Micro Goomba]]s and a single [[Big Goomba]] appear as well.

Several species resembling Goombas appear in this game as well. [[Octoomba|Electrogoomba]]s and [[Goombeetle]]s each appear in a few galaxies, while [[Jack O'Goomba|Pumpkinhead Goomba]]s appear in [[Ghostly Galaxy]]. The normal Goombas are the most recurring enemies in the game, appearing in 18 of the 42 [[galaxy|galaxies]]; the only harmful entity of any sort to be more common are the [[black hole]]s.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
Goombas reappear in the game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', acting the same as the ones from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' [[Big Goomba|Giant Goomba]]s also reappear and split into two [[Hefty Goomba]]s when stomped, which in turn split into two regular-sized Goombas. The Goomba, Hefty Goomba, and Giant Goomba can be encountered in the [[Enemy Course]] of [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1]]. In this Enemy Course, it can be either eight Goombas, four Hefty Goombas, or two Giant Goombas. Also, during the boss fight with [[Kamek|Magikoopa]], his magic can transform the platforms into Goombas, in addition to a variety of other enemies. A single Goomba also appears during the true final battle in [[World 8-Bowser's Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|Bowser's Castle]].

In [[World 9-7 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|the seventh level]] of [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9]], there are Goombas inside spiked chestnuts encountered called [[Prickly Goomba]]s. These chestnuts prevent them from being [[stomp]]ed on, but the Goombas can break out of their shells if hit by a [[fireball]] from [[Fire Mario]] or any fire-spitting enemies such as [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Trap]]s.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
Goombas reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', serving the same roles as they did in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', and can now turn around if Mario is close to them. Once again, Goombas can be found inside objects such as [[treasure chest]]s, while [[Chance Cube]]s also transform into Goombas if the player gets a [[Bowser]] emblem on them. [[Mini Goomba]]s, [[Big Goomba|Giant Goomba]]s, [[Goombeetle]]s, and [[Jack O'Goomba]]s reappear as well. [[Octoomba]]s, formerly known as Electrogoombas, now attack by spitting rocks. [[Paragoomba]]s and [[Big Paragoomba]]s, which did not appear in the first game, also appear in this game, the latter making their debut.

In the [[Boulder Bowl Galaxy]] mission [[C'mere, Goomba]], a [[Gearmo (gold)|gold Gearmo]] asks Mario to find a Goomba and bring it to them.

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
[[File:Goomba Stack SM3DL.png|thumb|100px|Goomba Tower is a highly recurring variant of Goomba.]]
Goombas in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' have similar behavior to those from the 3D ''Super Mario'' platforming games. [[Wooden cutout|Goomba boards]] make their appearance as well, along with a new species called [[Tail Goomba]]s. It is possible to acquire a [[Super Leaf]] after defeating a Tail Goomba. One takes the form of a [[Tail Bowser]]. A [[List of Super Mario 3D Land pre-release and unused content|gold version]] of the Tail Goomba was planned to appear in the game, but it was removed in the final version.

[[Goomba Tower]] are multiple stacked Goombas similar to [[Shy Guy Tower|Shy Stack]]s, [[Dango]]s, and [[AckStack]]s. However, they still attack as individual Goombas: by simply charging in the player's direction.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Goombas reappear in the Nintendo 3DS game, ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', with two new variants. They maintain their appearance from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. Goombas become [[Gold Goomba]]s when [[Mario]] goes through a [[Gold Ring]]. The Goomba then produces coins when defeated. Another new Goomba called the [[Bone Goomba]] appears, which mainly appear in [[tower]]s and [[castle]]s and act the same as the Goomba.

Goomba Towers return from ''Super Mario 3D Land'' and like a regular Goomba, Goomba Towers can be turned into a stack of Gold Goombas. Jumping on a Gold Goomba would yield 5 coins, with each consecutive jump adding more coins to other golden enemies. Blue Goombas also appear and they appear in the [[World Flower (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Flower]] and [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6]] [[Ghost House|Ghost Houses]] and in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' World 1-2 remake area of the [[Gold Classics Pack]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
[[File:BalloonGoomba.png|thumb|left|130px]]
Goombas reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They maintain their appearance from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', but also have a lighter colored, rounded variety with black stems on their heads named [[Goombrat]]s. [[Hefty Goomba]]s, [[Big Goomba]]s, and [[Prickly Goomba]]s reappear as well. At every vocal riff in the music, Goombas do a jump.

Balloon-bound Goombas also appear in the [[Sparkling Waters]] secret stage [[Skyward Stalk]].  They are basic enemies attached to balloons, acting similarly to the [[Parachute Galoomba]]s of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' except floating from the opposite direction. Balloon Goombas appear only in the [[Sparkling Waters]] stage [[Skyward Stalk]], where six of them are found. They float on balloons straight upwards from the bottom of the screen. When a Goomba's balloon pops, it begins walking like a normal Goomba. [[Mario]] can [[jump]] off the balloons for extra height.

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
Goombas also appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', behaving the same as they do in other 3D ''Super Mario'' platformers. [[Mini Goomba]]s also appear, as well as [[Galoomba]]s (which replaced Goombas in ''Super Mario World''). Additionally, [[Cat Goomba|a new type of Goomba]], which is based around the [[Cat Mario|Cat transformation]], also appears; these Goombas attack by leaping up and pouncing the player. Additionally, some [[Skating Goomba|Goombas ride in Ice Skates]] (which can be used if the rider is defeated) or [[Innertube Goomba|are sleeping in spiked floaties]]. A [[Goomba Mask]] also appears as an item; wearing it causes any Goombas near the player to mistake them for their kind and not attack them.

Goombas also reappear in the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Reissue#Ports|port]] version of the original ''Super Mario 3D World'' game, ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', appearing in both modes of the game (although not in the same form). In the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign, their Cat counterparts gain a new variation that is completely identical to standard Goombas: they walk around rather than "cat-walk" on hills and pounce, chase [[Mario]] upon seeing him, are brown instead of yellow, and are slightly less "furrier" than the Cat Goombas from ''Super Mario 3D World''.
{{br}}

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
[[File:Img mashiko 01.gif|100px|thumb|left|A [[Goomba Tower]] being assembled by [[Mary O.]]]]
Goombas reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' as enemies that can be placed in the course by the player, acting similarly to their appearance in 2D platformers. Like most other enemies, Goombas can be stacked, which in this case forms a [[Goomba Tower]]. [[Paragoomba]]s also return, and can be created by dragging [[Wings]] onto a Goomba. They function similarly to their appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

Both Goombas and Paragoombas can be enlarged with the use of the [[Super Mushroom]], becoming [[Big Goomba]]s and [[Big Paragoomba]]s respectively. Additionally, the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' style replaces Goombas with [[Galoomba]]s, which can be picked up and thrown like in the original ''Super Mario World''. The [[Goomba's Shoe]] returns from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and has been added to the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''

Goombas now display the ability to swim in underwater sections, rapidly chasing after [[Mario]] when he comes near.

Unlike ''Super Mario Bros.'', Goombas do not change colors in the underground and castle themes and instead stay brown.

There is also a Goomba [[Costume Mario|costume]] in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style, turning Mario into a red Goomba.

====''Super Mario Run''====
Goombas are fairly common enemies in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', appearing in a handful of levels. They behave the same as in regular 2D ''Super Mario'' platformers and are one of the few enemies that the player can [[Vaulting|vault]] over. However, when the player taps the screen while vaulting over a Goomba, they can perform a [[Vaulting Jump|vaulting jump]], thus stomping on it, allowing them to jump higher.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:SMO Art - E3 Char5.png|thumb|100px|A Goomba being controlled by Mario. Captured Goombas are specifically designated '''[[Cappy]] Goombas'''.<ref name="YT Play Nintendo 2023-11-18">{{cite|author=Play Nintendo|date=November 18, 2023|url=youtu.be/U31K0BObgc0|title=''Super Mario Odyssey'' Scavenger Hunt: Can You Find All The Goombas?🔎 {{!}} @playnintendo|publisher=YouTube|language=en-us|accessdate=January 11, 2024}}<br>The following timestamps indicate when each of the Goombas listed in the article's "''Super Mario Odyssey''" section is named.
*8-bit Goomba: 3:06
*sombrero Goomba: 4:21
*santa Goomba: 6:23
*pirate Goomba: 7:56
*explorer Goomba: 10:02
*Cappy Goomba: 10:15
*bridal Goomba: 11:12</ref>]]
Goombas reappear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', once again chasing after Mario like in previous 3D ''Super Mario'' platform games. When Mario takes control of a Goomba using [[Cappy]], he can jump on other Goombas to create a [[Goomba Tower|stack]], which can aid Mario in reaching high platforms and activating [[Goomba button]]s. Additionally, Goombas do not slip on ice while being [[capture]]d.

Goombas may wear different attire depending on the location. Before these Goombas are captured, their attire has to be taken off by hitting them once with Cappy; attacking them in any other way defeats them entirely, rendering them uncapturable. The following is a list of costumed Goombas that appear throughout the game.
*In the [[Sand Kingdom]], they wear sombreros and are aptly called '''sombrero Goombas'''<ref name="YT Play Nintendo 2023-11-18"/>.
*In the [[Lake Kingdom]], they wear bridal veils and are called '''bridal Goombas'''<ref name="YT Play Nintendo 2023-11-18"/>.
*In the [[Wooded Kingdom]], they wear explorer hats and are called '''explorer Goombas'''<ref name="YT Play Nintendo 2023-11-18"/>.
*In the [[Metro Kingdom]], they wear yellow construction helmets.
*In the [[Seaside Kingdom]], they wear pirate hats and are called '''pirate Goombas'''<ref name="YT Play Nintendo 2023-11-18"/>.
*In the [[Snow Kingdom]], they wear {{wp|Santa Claus|Santa}} hats and are called '''santa Goombas'''<ref name="YT Play Nintendo 2023-11-18"/>.
*In the [[Luncheon Kingdom]], they wear chef hats.
*In the [[Bowser's Kingdom]], they wear conical hats.
As well, Goombas with no attire appear in the [[Cloud Kingdom]], the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], and the [[Darker Side]]. '''8-bit Goombas'''<ref name="YT Play Nintendo 2023-11-18"/> are also found in 8-bit mural segments, behaving the same as in the 2D games. [[Mini Goomba]]s and [[Paragoomba]]s also appear in the game. [[Goombette]], a pink female Goomba, can be found in the Sand Kingdom, the Lake Kingdom, the Wooded Kingdom, the Seaside Kingdom, the Luncheon Kingdom, and the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], who grants Mario a [[Power Moon]] if he approaches her as a captured Goomba. In the Mushroom Kingdom during visits after the first, two [[Volbonan]]s can be found debating whether Goombas are mushrooms or acorns.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Goombas return along with their variants, the [[Galoomba]]s, [[Goombrat]]s, [[Big Goomba]]s, [[Paragoomba]]s, and [[Shoe Goomba]]s in ''Super Mario Maker 2'', acting the same as they did in the previous game. In the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, they chase after Mario upon seeing him as in the 3D games. The [[Goombud]] debuts in this game as the ''Super Mario World'' style alternative to the Goombrat, combining the Goombrat's aversion to ledges with the Galoomba's durability. Goombas can also be given Parachutes to use in all five styles, acting like [[Parabomb]]s and [[Parachute Galoomba]]s.

====''Super Mario Bros. 35''====
Goombas reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 35]]'', having the same appearance, role and characteristics as in the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
[[File:SMBW intro level 2.jpg|thumb|left|A sleeping Goomba in ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'']]
Goombas reappear as recurring enemies in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', alongside several variants including [[Goombrat]]s, [[Mega Goomba|Big Goomba]]s, [[Hefty Goomba]]s, [[Hefty Goombrat]]s, and [[Bone Goomba]]s. They function largely the same as in previous 2D games, though in this game they will visually react to their surroundings. They will shift their eyes to look at a player if one is in front of them, and they visibly panic if they notice potential threats, including player-thrown [[Fireball|fireballs]], kicked shells, [[Gnawsher|Gnawshers]], and [[Maw-Maw|Maw-Maws]]. They will also make a biting pose when they damage a player, a reference to how Goombas in ''Super Mario Bros.'' were originally intended to attack the player by biting them.<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.com/en-gb/News/2023/October/Ask-the-Developer-Vol-11-Super-Mario-Bros-Wonder-Chapter-2-2460633.html|title="Ask the Developer Vol. 11, ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'' – Chapter 2"|publisher=Nintendo.com|language=en-gb|accessdate=June 24, 2024}}</ref>

A few levels feature Goombas that are asleep on the ground. These Goombas will wake up when something is right in front of them or if the Goomba is touched by the player. Players touching these Goombas will not take damage, but instead knock the Goomba back, though it is able to deal damage again after waking up. In levels where Goombas can be trapped in one-block wide areas (best demonstrated on [[Pokipede Pass]]) they will stop pacing back and forth and instead watch the player character from their hole. Goombas are affected by the [[Wonder Flower]] in [[Sproings in the Twilight Forest]], which causes them to stretch beyond their normal size, and the [[Wonder Flower]] effect in [[Maw-Maw Mouthful]] and [[Petal Isles Special Way of the Goomba]] turns the players [[Goomba Mario|into Goombas]].

===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
[[File:AnimeGoomba.jpg|thumb|The two Goombas of ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'' stand before their master.]]
In the Japanese anime movie ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', two Goombas, who work for Bowser, appear throughout the film, attempting to halt Mario, Luigi, and [[Haru-ōji|Kibidango]] in their search for Princess Peach.

These two Goombas first appear shortly after Mario and Luigi start their quest and follow the Mario Bros. to a camp they have set up for a night's rest. Luigi, however, has grown hungry and is unable to sleep. The Goombas then trick Luigi by saying they knew where to find delicious mushrooms, and Luigi, desperate for food, follows them into a small clearing filled with strange, emotion-inducing mushrooms. Luigi (and Mario, who eventually finds his brother in the mushroom field) is eventually kidnapped by a [[Big Koopa Paratroopa|colossal-sized Paratroopa]].

The Goombas next appear right after Mario and Luigi have collected the [[Super Mushroom]] and have come to a fork in the road. Here the Goombas decide to give Mario and Luigi false directions and lead the brothers to a [[Piranha Plant]]-filled area.

The Goombas are seen next in a cave-like area where they leave a trail of [[coin]]s for the Mario Bros. Mario and Luigi follow this trail and end up in a larger cave, although the Goombas roll a rock up against the entrance of this cave, locking the Mario Bros. within it.

One of the Goombas' last efforts in the film comes when Mario and Luigi have reached [[Bowser's Castle]]. They activate a complex platform system over lava (with the inclusion of [[Lava Bubble|Podoboo]]s), explaining that Mario has to jump over it to escape. Unlike other depictions throughout the series, the Goombas grow small arms resembling mushroom spores in order to operate the system's controls. Their plans are foiled, though, when Luigi (who is at the time mining for coins) accidentally causes a huge flood through the castle, putting out the lava and safely carrying the Mario Brothers on. It is unknown what happens to the Goombas after the castle falls apart.

===DIC cartoons===
====''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''====
[[File:GoombaSMBSS.png|200px|thumb|left|A Goomba in its regular appearance from the ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' episode "[[On Her Majesty's Sewer Service]]"]]
{{quote|All right, all right, all right! Listen up, all you groovy Goombas, and give a big hand to a great new band, the Toadstool Trio!|Goomba|"[[Elvin Lives]]"}}
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', Goombas are depicted as being weak soldiers in King Koopa's army. Compared to other enemies in the show, they accurately resemble the physical depiction of Goombas from the video games. The only episode of ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' where a Goomba has a speaking role is "[[Elvin Lives]]." Goombas change aliases depending on the plot, appearing as bikers, pirates, and zombies.

====''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:TAOSMB3Goomba.png|thumb|right|A Goomba in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' episode "[[Do the Koopa]]".]]
The continuation of the original cartoon series, ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', retains Goombas and their status as weak yet loyal soldiers. Their winged variant, [[Paragoomba]]s, appears more often.

===''Super Mario Bros.'' (film)===
[[File:Goomba Movie.jpg|thumb|left|[[Toad (film character)|Toad]] after being de-evolved into a Goomba from the ''Super Mario Bros.'' movie]]
Goombas appear in the live-action [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' movie]]. In it, they are portrayed as citizens of [[Dinohattan]] who have been de-evolved into slightly dim-witted but loyal members of President Koopa's army. They are properly introduced when [[Toad (film character)|Toad]]'s character is arrested and sentenced to become a Goomba for singing Anti-Koopa songs. President Koopa showcases his abilities to de-evolve Dinohattanites with his [[Devo Chamber]] machine to Mario and Luigi, when Toad is turned into a Goomba. Mario and Luigi, enraged after having witnessed Toad's fate, push Koopa into the machine and attempt to de-evolve him before escaping out of the Devo Chamber. 

Throughout the film, Goombas appear as low-intelligence cronies responding to Koopa's commands. The kidnapped Brooklyn women, which includes [[Angelica (film character)|Angelica]], [[Daniella]] and [[Princess Daisy (film character)|Daisy]], are held in a part of [[Koopa's Tower]] called "Goomba Barracks" for the majority of the film. It is implied that the Goombas in Koopa's Tower are permanent residents of the Goomba Barracks, as shown when Mario and Luigi escape from said tower, and they take one of the mattresses the Goombas sleep on to do so.

Various Goombas were later outfitted with [[Devolution Gun]]s in preparation of invading [[Earth]]. The Goombas, however, often had a weakness for dancing; Mario and Luigi discover this when they are hiding in an elevator that they occupy. Mario and Luigi begin rocking the Goombas back and forth to the elevator music playing to distract them. The Goombas apparently started dancing some time afterwards, as Sergeant Simon tried to warn Koopa via Walkie Talkie about them dancing again while Koopa was trying to gloat to the Mario Bros. about trapping them. They begin to take a liking to dancing as evidenced by Toad later exploiting this to prevent the Goombas from following Koopa's order to shoot Mario after the dimensions become separated once again. After Koopa is successfully defeated, Goombas can be seen dancing in couples in Koopa Square.
{{br|left}}

===''Super Mario: Makai Teikoku no Megami''===
The ''Super Mario Bros.'' film received a simplified manga adaptation titled ''[[Super Mario: Makai Teikoku no Megami]]''. Goombas reprise their role as being lackeys of Koopa, that he creates by zapping citizens using his Devolution Gun. They are first introduced when an enraged Koopa is informed by Spike and Iggy that they did not successfully bring him back the [[meteorite piece]]. He zaps the two, de-evolving them into Goombas. 

Koopa proceeds to take to the streets of his kingdom, dragging Daisy along, and holding a megaphone on the other hand. He is lead by a Goomba driving a car, and a large crowd of Goombas following him, as he demands that Mario and Luigi turn over the meteorite piece over to him. After Koopa is hit with an [[Bakudan Kinoko|exploding mushroom]], he demands from his Goombas that they cleanse him off the fungus residue left behind by the blast. When the dimensions are briefly merged by the Goomba-fied Spike and Iggy, the Goombas begin de-evolving humans into chimpanzees. 
{{br|left}}

===''Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up''===
Goombas briefly appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up]]'', where they are literal computer "bugs" in the Computer Programmer career page.

===''Yoshi''===
Goombas make an appearance as one of the six falling objects in ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]''. For the only time officially since ''Super Mario Bros.'', they are called "Little" Goombas in the instruction booklet,<ref>{{cite|date=1991|title=''Yoshi'' (NES) instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=4, 5, 12}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=1991|title=''Yoshi'' (Game Boy) instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=3, 4, 11}}</ref> but not in the North American television commercial<ref>{{cite|quote=[Yoshi]'s up against Goombas, Boo Buddies, Bloobers, and Piranha Plants!|title=''Yoshi'' North American television advertisement}}</ref> or on the back cover of the packaging. Their sprite in this game is similar to their sprite from ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''.

===''Mario Ice Capades''===
Goombas appear in ''[[Mario Ice Capades]]'' as minions of [[Bowser|King Koopa]]. In the end, the Mario Bros. defeat them as well as their leader.

===''Mario and the Incredible Rescue''===
Goombas appear in the third chapter of ''[[Mario and the Incredible Rescue]]'' under the name Little Goombas. Three of them attack Mario, Luigi, and Toad in [[Kero Sewers]], and after they defeat them, a larger group of them emerges, forcing the trio of heroes to run away.

===''Nintendo Comics System''===
Goombas appear in several issues of ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'', though they are scarcely seen, having seemingly been pushed aside by [[Shy Guy]]s as the main troops of Bowser's army.

===''Club Nintendo''===
Goombas make a minor appearance in the German ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comics. Two of them are seen in the story "[[Super Mario: Erholung? Nein, danke!]]" on the island of [[Koopabiza]]. They, along with many other people and creatures, try to get to the beach. One of them is wearing a swimming ring. Also, the [[Gumba Royal Hotel]] on Koopabiza is named after the German spelling of the Goomba species.

===''Super Mario Adventures''===
In ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'', one ordinary Goomba makes a minor cameo among the ''Super Mario World'' creatures sent to attack [[Peach's Castle|Princess Toadstool's Palace]].

===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:RosalinaMrioKunvol37.jpg|thumb|A Goomba from ''Super Mario-kun'']]
In ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Goombas make several appearances, while not being in every volume.

===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
Goombas appear in several of the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'', starting with ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'', where a pair appear to attack Luigi when he first arrives in the Mushroom Kingdom, only to be sent running after being stomped. Some later scurry out of the way as the heroes head to Mushroom Palace, and several are also among the crowds at the International Mushroom Games held three weeks later.

Luigi fights off several Goombas on his way to [[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]]'s secret camp in the Magma Pits in ''[[Koopa Capers]]'', and a Goomba scientist named [[Dr. Sporis von Fungenstein]] appears as the main antagonist in ''[[Doors to Doom]]''.

Some Goombas shrunken by [[Magikoopa]] are sent into Yoshi's body after Mario in ''[[Unjust Desserts]]''; if Mario smashes a [[Yellow Shell]] while inside Yoshi, it causes tremors that cause some Goombas and assorted other shrunken enemies to go careening around the dinosaur's innards.

===''Hotel Mario''===
Four varieties of Goomba appear in the game ''[[Hotel Mario]]''. They aid Bowser in his attempt to transform the Mushroom Kingdom into his personal resort. Goombas guard the seven hotels set up by Bowser's [[Koopalings]]. In the game, Goombas attempt to prevent Mario from shutting down the seven Koopa Hotels. To do this, Mario has to shut all the doors in each hotel. Regular Goombas oppose his efforts by slowly walking to closed doors and opening them (as well as generally just getting in Mario's way). Paragoombas (called Flying Goombas in this game) also appear. Two new types of Goomba, the [[Bellhop Goomba]] and the [[Rhinestone Goomba]], make their only appearance in this game.

===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
[[File:SMW2 Yoshis Island Goomba.png|thumb|200px|left|Goombas in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' have thicker eyebrows compared to its contemporary depictions, white torsos, and crimson feet. A similar design is used in the first three installments in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series.]]
In the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]], Goombas first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', then in its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]], and in ''Yoshi's New Island''. Goombas aimlessly walk in one direction, like in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]]. However, a Goomba can jump off a ledge, but before doing so, they become idle briefly while wiggling their eyebrows. More noticeably, [[stomp]]ing on a Goomba flattens it but does not defeat it. A flattened Goomba can still walk and damage Yoshi on contact, but can also carry Yoshi if he stands on them. After some time, the Goomba "pops" back into shape. In ''Yoshi's New Island'', while a Goomba is flattened, it does not jump off a ledge and cannot damage Yoshi. They also always revert to their standard shape immediately after turning around. Goombas can be defeated with an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] or enemy toss, a [[Ground Pound]] attack, or by eating and turning them into eggs.

In all three appearances, Goombas only appear in one [[level]], much unlike their appearances in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]]. In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', Goombas only appear in [[GO! GO! MARIO!!]], while in ''Yoshi's New Island'', they only appear in [[Spin-Lift Drift]]. In the latter game, Goombas are often encountered in chains of enemies and can be defeated with [[Koopa Shell]]s to gain a combo and extra lives.

===''Mario Net Quest''===
In ''[[Mario Net Quest]]'', a Goomba using its ''Super Mario 64'' design is one of the obstacles that can pop out of the floor tiles. The player loses 1000 points if they click on it. On the "How to Play" screen, "Goomba" is misspelled as "Goombah".

[[File:RPGgoomba.png|150px|thumb|One of the earliest 3D iterations of a Goomba in a video game.]]
[[File:SMRPG NS Goomba.png|150px|thumb|A Goomba in the remake.]]
Goombas are among the weakest members of Bowser's Minions in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. However, they are more powerful than the [[Terrapin]]. In the game, many Goombas are seen patrolling [[Mushroom Way]], the area between [[Bowser's Keep]] and [[Toad Town|Mushroom Kingdom]]. [[Toad]] himself is captured by a group of Goombas while he is on his way to the Mushroom Kingdom. Other Goombas not loyal to Bowser's Minions reside in [[Bandit's Way]]. Goombas are also found later in the [[Pipe Vault]], an optional area near [[Rose Town]]. Other Goombas live in the caves of the [[Midas River]] and are seen trying to catch the river's fish. [[Pro Goomba]]s, a more powerful variant, reside in Bowser's Keep. In battle, Goombas attack enemies by biting. They can also shoot sharp thorns to cause 50% more damage than usual. Goombas are fairly weak, and they can often be destroyed by a simple [[Action Command|Timed Hit]]. A Goomba's bite attack can be blocked by defending right after the mushroom performed a somersault. The damage of a Goomba's thorn can be blunted by defending right before the projectile hits the party member. Additionally, Goombas typically fight in groups of two to three (either with other Goombas or stronger monsters). When defeated, Goombas often yield [[Bonus Flower|HP MAX! Flower]]s to Mario and his party.

After Bowser's Minions are expelled from Bowser's Keep by the [[Smithy Gang]], Bowser himself attempts to reassemble the remains of his Minions in order to retake his castle. In [[Rose Way]], he has a regrouped faction of Goombas lead by the alluring [[Goomhilde]], but by the time the army reaches [[Moleville]], many Goomba units have abandoned Bowser. By the time Bowser reaches [[Booster Tower]], all of Bowser's army (Goomhilde and her Goombas) have deserted him. However, at the tower, Bowser decides to join forces with Mario, knowing that with Mario's strength, he can get his castle back. Eventually, Bowser, Mario, [[Princess Peach]], [[Mallow]], and [[Geno]] find their way to [[Monstro Town]]. While in the town for reformed enemies, Bowser runs into the former head of his Goombas, who has set up shop in the village. Goomhilde apologizes for deserting Bowser's Minions but offers to sell Bowser powerful weapons and armor in return. She is assisted by her three "[[Triplets|little ones]]", the [[Triplets]] (others, not related to this Goomba, appear in the [[Sunken Ship]]). Another Goomba, named [[Boo, Goo, Bones, and Kipp|Goo]], appears as part of one of [[Dr. Topper]]'s puzzles. Eventually, Bowser, with the help of Mario and his friends, manages to expel the Smithy Gang and defeat their leader, [[Smithy]]. With his keep returned, many former soldiers (including many Goombas) return to King Bowser and his Minions, and many of them help rebuild Bowser's Keep to its former glory.

===''Mario Party'' series===
Goombas are a common sight in the various ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' titles. Often, they appear in the background of minigames or they host minigames themselves. Goombas get their biggest roles in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', where one is one of the hosts, and in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', where one is a playable character.
{{br}}
====''Mario Party''====
In ''[[Mario Party]]'', a Goomba hosts the Flower Lottery in [[Peach's Birthday Cake]]. When the player reaches Goomba, they must pay 10 coins (or all their coins if they have 10 or less) to play a game called the Flower Lottery. There are four seeds of different colors (red, blue, yellow and green) and the player must bloom one (after blooming a whole set, another set appears). Three of them have Toad's face imprinted inside them: if the player finds one, the Goomba remarks sadly that the player "lost" and take the Star's path. However, if the player chooses the seed with Bowser's face, the Goomba declares the player has "won" and has the player proceed to Bowser's cake. In [[Crazy Cutters|Crazy Cutter]], a Goomba is one of the few shapes that players have to drill.

====''Mario Party 2''====
{{quote|Ten-hut! It's time for a Battle Mini-Game! First, let's decide how many coins to take.|Goomba|Mario Party 2}}
[[File:MP2 Time Bomb.png|thumb|Goomba hosting [[Time Bomb (minigame)|Time Bomb]] in ''Mario Party 2'']]
In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', a Goomba hosts all the duel and battle minigames. This Goomba presumably lives in a barracks shaped like a Goomba, complete with a small chimney and door. This barracks appears on all boards, usually far off outside the main area of the map. Given the Goomba's mannerisms, he appears to be a veteran of Bowser's Minions, although he does not directly serve Bowser in the game. When a player lands on a [[Battle Space]], summons an opponent with a [[Dueling Glove]], or lands on the same spot as another player within the last 5 turns in a game, the Goomba descends on a parachute to initiate the event. After the minigame, the Goomba gives the winner and second-place runner-up coins from his moneybag and gives a single coin to either the third or fourth placing players if the whole amount of coins taken cannot be evenly divided by two. Other than that, Goombas do not play a very major role in this game. A Goomba also makes an appearance in [[Mystery Land]] in the tail of an airplane.

====''Mario Party 3''====
''[[Mario Party 3]]'' also features Goombas. They still command Duel Minigames, and Luigi's default partner in Duel mode is a Goomba as well. The Goomba has an attack stat of 2, an HP stat of 1, and a salary of 2 coins per turn. Their attack involves jumping into the air and kicking. Goombas make an appearance in [[Curtain Call]], where the player has to memorize the order of them and other enemies on a stage. In [[Slot Synch]], if players get a Goomba icon, they get one point. In [[Game Guy's Roulette]], a Goomba icon is one of the six icons the player can choose to guess where the shell goes; it occupies 4 slots and multiplies the player's coins by 8 if picked.

====''Mario Party 4''====
{{main|Goomba (Mario Party 4)}}
In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', Goomba appears as one of the hosts of the [[Party Cube]], along with [[Toad]], [[Boo]], [[Shy Guy]] and [[Koopa Troopa]]. He wears a glittery pink top hat and vest, and hosts both [[Goomba's Greedy Gala]] and the mini-game room. In the mini-games, Goombas appear in [[Long Claw of the Law]] as an outlaw, [[GOOOOOOOAL!!]] as a crowd member, and [[Goomba's Chip Flip]] in Story Mode, as the character being fought against. A Goomba is also the referee in the [[Beach Volley Folly]] minigame.

Additionally, ''Mario Party 4'' was the first appearance of the current interpretation of the Goombas' character design.

====''Mario Party 5''====
[[File:Mario Party 5 Hotel Goomba.png|thumb|left|Goombas as seen in the minigame [[Hotel Goomba]] from ''Mario Party 5'']]
The Goomba Engine and the Goomba-Trio Engine are two of the many engines the player can purchase for a machine in Super Duel Mode. Typically, the engine offers acceleration and speed in exchange for control. The Goomba Tires are fairly fast and they boast good acceleration, but other abilities are average. The [[Goomba Capsule]], if landed on, makes the player swap coins with another randomly chosen opponent. They can be used on a player for five coins.

Goombas feature prominently in a minigame called [[Hotel Goomba]], where they serve as obstacles that the player must punch to get through. A Goomba is a 90-feet/30-metres marker in [[Triple Jump (minigame)|Triple Jump]]. Goombas appear as part of the background in [[Will Flower]], [[Fight Cards]], and [[Random Ride]]. They also feature prominently in [[Mathletes]] as the crowd and the host of the minigame. Players direct the movement of a Goomba or Paragoomba robot using slots in [[Quilt for Speed]]. In [[Clock Stoppers]], a Goomba is one of the three characters that appear when a team gets the clock hands matching the center one. Goombas appear as one of the contents of a can in [[Mario Can-Can]]. In [[Panic Pinball]], Goombas appear on the top of the slot. When they are flattened by a pinball, they start the slots. Also, in [[Beach Volleyball (Mario Party 5)|Beach Volleyball]], the Goomba is a referee, much like in Beach Volley Folly.

====''Mario Party 6''====
The [[Goomba Orb]] makes a reappearance in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', but its function is different. If a player lands on another player's Goomba Orb space, the opponent must determine how many coins they have to give to the player by rolling a dice block. Goombas appear in the background in [[Thirsty Gulch]]. They are one of the enemies featured in [[Odd Card Out]], where players must guess which card is different from the other two. They also appear as part of the crowd in that minigame. Players have to take pictures with the most Goombas in [[Freeze Frame]]. In [[Trap Ease Artist]], players capture Goombas, some of which are [[Gold Goomba|gold]], to earn points. Goombas appear in the background in [[Sunday Drivers]], [[Stage Fright (minigame)|Stage Fright]], and [[Dunk Bros.]] In [[Word Herd]], the lone player must direct Goombas away from the other three attacking players. They appear in clean windows during the day in [[Clean Team]]. Two Goombas host [[Control Shtick]]. Goomba-shaped asteroids appear in [[Mass Meteor]]. The player has to rescue a Goomba in [[Lab Brats]]. On the main menu, two Goombas run around if the player says "Goomba" into the [[Nintendo GameCube#Nintendo GameCube Microphone|mic]].

====''Mario Party Advance''====
{{quote|Howdy! I'm Goomba! Here's the scoop!|Goomba|[[Mario Party Advance]]}}
In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', a Goomba appears at [[Goomba House]] in [[Shroom City (Mario Party Advance)|Shroom City]]. According to his description, he is a fan of dancing and is "considerate and caring". He serves as a tutorial of sorts, explaining that a bunch of [[Minigame]]s and [[Gaddget]]s were scattered across Shroom City, and that all of its residents have one of them. He also says that by helping them out, one of these minigames or Gaddgets are rewarded to the player. He then asks for help himself, and accepting his quest leads him to ask for a ticket from the [[Train Station]]. After giving him the ticket, he happily rewards the [[Egg Roll (Gaddget)|Egg Roll]] Gaddget. Though he is saddened by his inability to help out with collecting everything, he gives out his luck to the player and says that he hopes to see them soon.

Goombas also appear in the minigame [[Floor It!]], where the player must direct them to the correct floor. A Goomba serves as the referee for the minigame [[Volleybomb (minigame)|Volleybomb]].

====''Mario Party 7''====
The Goomba Orb does not appear in this game. However, Goombas host certain board events in [[Pyramid Park]] ('''Desert Goombas''') and [[Bowser's Enchanted Inferno!]] ('''Steel Goombas'''), and figures depicting them in their outfits on those boards can be bought from the Duty-free Shop. A Goomba appears in the background in [[Big Dripper (minigame)|Big Dripper]], where it is being chased by bees. Goombas appear in the background in [[Kart Wheeled]], [[Dart Attack]], [[Weight for It]], and [[Light Speed]]. One hosts the minigame [[Clock Watchers]]. They appear as one type of card in [[Cardinal Rule]]. Players have to ground-pound Goombas, one of which is a Gold Goomba, in [[Royal Rumpus]], but the Gold Goomba is worth more points and is more difficult to stomp. Goombas are one of the pictures players have to match in [[Spin Off]].

====''Mario Party 8''====
[[File:Ain'tMisbehavin'8.png|thumb|left|Goombas being colored with paintballs in [[Paint Misbehavin']] from ''Mario Party 8'']]
Goombas have a board of their own, [[Goomba's Booty Boardwalk]]. A [[Big Goomba|Grand Goomba]] named [[Captain Goomba (Mario Party 8)|Captain Goomba]] is the goal in this board. Other Goombas such as [[pirate Goomba]]s either hinder or help the player. Goombas appear in the background in [[Chump Rope]], [[Swing Kings]], [[Blazing Lassos]], and [[Fruit Picker]]. Players have to shoot Goombas with paint in [[Paint Misbehavin']] to win. In [[Lob to Rob]], players hit Mushroom icons to gain points, while Goomba pictures subtract points, Goombas chase the loser at the end of the minigame. Goombas help the player make a basket in [[Settle It in Court]]. They appear as one of the nine rescue-able enemies in [[Specter Inspector]]. A Goomba is one of the racers in [[Moped Mayhem]].

====''Mario Party DS''====
In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', the Goombas take a large role in various [[minigame]]s that occurred during the event. One of the minigames they appear in is [[Goomba Wrangler]], where they are used as points. The players must capture them by circling them using the [[stylus]] to gain points. Goombas (referred to as Brown Goombas in the instructions) are worth one point and move slowly when the minigame starts. [[Golden Goomba]]s are worth three points and move faster; they appear later during the minigame. More Goombas arrive in this very spot from the staircases as the time goes by. However, they can be deducted by circling a Bob-omb, resulting in them being knocked out from the player's container.

In the minigame [[Soccer Survival]], a large Goomba is the goalie and shoots soccer balls at the players. The object of the game is to avoid the soccer balls that the Goomba kicks at the players.

Goombas also appear in another minigame [[Call of the Goomba]], where they are lured by the players; the more that are lured in, the more points the player earns. They appear in the middle of the field, and the players are on the edges. The Goombas can be lured by the players by using the music box to match the original music as close as possible. The closer the player is to the speed of the original song, the more likely the Goombas go to the player. Once a Goomba is lured in, they cannot return to the center field.

In the minigame [[Plush Crush]], the Goomba appears as a plush that uses one space during the minigame. The plush can be carried by a player's mechanical grabber. It can be used to try to block the solo player's paths or to defeat the player by dropping it on them.

In another minigame [[Double Vision]], Goombas occasionally appear as one of the four possible trace drawings for the two players on each team to complete. The two players have to work together to trace the creature, and all four players have a different color for them to trace in certain parts of this drawing.

In the minigame [[Shorty Scorers]], wooden Goombas appear as a goalkeeper at both of the goals. They automatically move at the left and the right side, blocking the ball while the players try to get a goal.

====''Mario Party 9''====
[[File:MP9 4-Player Goomba Spotting.png|thumb|The minigame [[Goomba Spotting]] from ''Mario Party 9'']]
In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', Goombas play a small role, being seen mostly in [[minigame]]s. One such minigame is [[Goomba Bowling]], where the player must toss a red Koopa Shell across a bridge to hit the Goombas. They also appear in [[Goomba Spotting]] and [[Goomba Village (minigame)|Goomba Village]], the former involving counting the number of Goombas that pass by the player, and the latter involving trying to guess which [[Toad House]] contains the most Goombas. The Goomba also has its own constellation that can be bought in the museum, named "Ground Soldier." In [[Toad Road]], random Goombas jump, looking at the vehicle.

====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====
Goombas reappear in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', in the minigame [[Git Along, Goomba]], as obstacles that the player must lasso. They also appear as tiles in both of the minigames [[Match Faker]] and [[Tap Dash]], in the minigame [[Starring Artist]] as one of the many constellations, and in a bubble in the minigame [[Spin the Bubble]]. They also appear in the AR Card Minigame [[Ka-Goomba!]].

====''Mario Party 10''====
Goombas return for a handful of minigames in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', generally appearing alongside the similar [[Galoomba]] and [[Goombrat]] in minigames where the player has to differentiate between the three in a certain way, namely [[Goomba Gallop]] and [[Goomba Gotcha]].

====''Mario Party: Star Rush''====
In ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', Goombas primarily appear in the minigame [[Goomba Guess]], where the player must memorize their arrangement on a grid-like structure. They also appear as obstacles in the minigame [[Mega Goomba's Bad Dream]], in which they move horizontally and occasionally trail the player closest to them, deducting one point from each player they come in contact with. Goomba-like cake structures also appear throughout much of the [[World 3 (Mario Party: Star Rush)|World 3]] boards.
{{br}}

====''Super Mario Party''====
[[File:SMP image8.png|thumb|left|Goomba participating in [[Trike Harder]] from ''Super Mario Party'']]
{{quote|I'll show you a place where you won't get stomped on all the time!|Goomba|Super Mario Party}}
A Goomba appears for the first time in the series as a playable character in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', reusing the Goombas' vocal effects from previous games. Goomba gains a special [[Dice Block]] of its own: the [[Dice Block#Goomba Dice Block|Goomba Dice Block]]. Goomba appears alongside Bowser, Bowser Jr., and their other minions in the opening scene, intent on becoming the Super Star of the party. Non-playable Goombas also appear in Chestnut Forest, the second area of the Challenge Road mode.
{{br}}

====''Mario Party Superstars''====
Goombas reprise their roles from previous ''Mario Party'' games in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', including in Peach's Birthday Cake and in various minigames. In Peach's Birthday Cake, however, [[Lakitu]] replaces Goomba when planting Piranha Plant seeds in the cake. A Goomba target replaces the Toad target in [[Archer-ival]].

====''Super Mario Party Jamboree''====
Goomba returns in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'' and reprises its playable character role from ''Super Mario Party''.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Goomba}}
====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
[[File:SSBM Goomba Stage.png|thumb|left|150px|The Goomba trophy as the stage during Event Match #14]]
Goombas have a minor role in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Very rarely, a Goomba emerges from a [[Party Ball (item)|Party Ball]] or a [[Crate]], instead of an item. The Goomba then walks around the stage, damaging fighters until being defeated. Goombas are also featured prominently in the first level of Adventure Mode, the Mushroom Kingdom. As in the traditional [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' games]], Goombas in this game can be defeated by any stomp or simple attack. If a Goomba is stomped on, the "stomp" sound effect from ''Super Mario All-Stars'' is heard. A Goomba [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] can also be collected in the game by completing Event Match #14: Trophy Tussle 1, the battle taking place on a giant Goomba trophy.

The Goomba's design in ''Melee'' has a brown head yellow stem, similar to its early artwork and from ''Super Mario 64''.

A Goomba was a requested character for inclusion in this game, with seven votes.<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostResult3.html|title=アンケート集計拳!!|publisher=Nintendo|language=ja|accessdate=June 24, 2024}}</ref>

Goombas appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. They play another small role as in the previous game. They try to get in the players' way by bumping into them, similarly to their purpose in most ''Super Mario'' games. They attack by charging at fighters. Most of these Goombas work for Bowser, and they help him steal the Banana Hoard, but some aid [[Tabuu]] in defense of [[The Great Maze]]. Giant Goombas, who are bigger, stronger versions of Goombas also make an appearance in the Subspace Emissary. A Goomba also appears in the form of a trophy.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''====
Goombas appear as enemies in the Smash Run mode exclusive to ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''. They attack by charging into the player and can be defeated by attacking them or with a single stomp. Big Goombas also once again appear as enemies in this mode. In both ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', a Goomba appears as a trophy, while the latter features Masterpieces based on both ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', in which Goombas appear.

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
A Goomba appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a Novice-class Neutral-type [[smashwiki:Primary spirit|primary spirit]]. It has two support slots and also grants the user a slight increase in the damage dealt with foot attacks. The [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] can be encountered in [[smashwiki:The Light Realm|The Light Realm]] of [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]]. In the spirit battle, the player faces five tiny [[Donkey Kong]]s on the Battlefield form of the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros.)|Mushroom Kingdom]] stage. A Goomba also appears on the [[Super Mario Party#River Survival|River Survival]] spirit and is represented by [[Kirby]] in the battle.

====''Paper Mario''====
{{quote|Oh... Mario!? I have to fight Mario?! By myself? Why me? I'm toast...but I have to try! Feel my, uh...wrath, I guess!|Goomba|Paper Mario}}
Goombas appear as a part of the Koopa Corps in the original ''[[Paper Mario]]''. In his initial appearance, the [[Goomboss|Goomba King]] (later named Goomboss) leads some Goombas, Spiked Goombas and Paragoombas that reside along [[Goomba Road]], the pathway between Goomba Village and [[Toad Town]]. His two henchmen, the [[Red & Blue Goomba Bros.]], appear in the game as well as a miniboss, and later accompany him in his boss fight. In the Toad Town Tunnels, Mario encounters [[Gloomba]]s, navy blue Goombas variants that live underground, and are modeled after the Underground versions of Goombas from the original ''Super Mario Bros.'' Lastly, [[Hyper Goomba]]s, green-colored Goombas similar to the [[Pro Goomba|Gu Goomba]]s, are first seen in this game, along the trail of Gusty Gulch. These powerful Goombas can charge their attack power.

The regular brown Goombas in ''Paper Mario'' behave similarly to their counterparts in ''Super Mario 64''. They patrol a small area, and upon seeing Mario, they can charge at him. In battle, Goombas attack by using the "[[Headbonk]]" technique. They jump in the air, then dive into Mario, bonking their head against him. This attack can be blocked by defending just as the Goomba's head touches Mario. If he is struck by the attack, Mario takes one [[Heart Point|HP]] of damage. At the beginning of the game, it requires two stomps or two [[Hammer]] strikes to defeat a Goomba (as Goombas only have two HP). However, after Mario learns how to use [[Action Command]]s, he only needs one timed attack to defeat one of them. Other variants of Goombas, such as the Spiked Goombas, Paragoombas, Gloombas, and Hyper Goombas, have different stats and occasionally different attacks.

Although standard Goombas are normally fought towards the beginning of the game, one Goomba can be fought in [[Paper Mario#Chapter 4: Trials in the Toy Box|Chapter 4]]. During the Intermission after [[Paper Mario#Chapter 3: The "Invincible" Tubba Blubba|Chapter 3]], Bowser asks Princess Peach what Mario fears most. One of Peach's choices is "A Goomba", and if she picks this, [[Kammy Koopa]] warps a Goomba to [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]]. Although Kammy expresses doubt that the Goomba will scare Mario away, she leaves the Goomba in charge of defending a [[Treasure chest]]. When Mario eventually arrives, the Goomba reluctantly chooses to fight Mario.

Despite the majority presence of Goombas loyal to Bowser, ''Paper Mario'' notably features the first community of peaceful Goombas, within Goomba Village. It is the family of Goombas (composed of [[Goompa]], [[Gooma]], [[Goompapa]], [[Goomama]], [[Goombaria]], and [[Goombario]]) living in peaceful [[Goomba Village (location)|Goomba Village]], that first discovered Mario unconscious after his initial defeat from Bowser. These Goombas nurse Mario back to full strength and provides him with a [[Hammer]] to fight the Koopa Corps. The family also allows Mario to take [[Goomnut]]s from their village; these nuts can be used by Mario to recover his [[Flower Point|FP]]. Goombario, a young Goomba and personal admirer of Mario, even joins the hero on his adventure. His [[Tattle]] ability is valuable, as he provides hints on how to defeat certain enemies. In addition, Goompa gifts Mario his first [[Badge]], and accompanies Mario for a brief moment upon giving him the hammer.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
[[File:PMTTYD Goomba trio.png|left|thumb|The three classes of Goombas in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'']]
Mario runs into a number of Goombas in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. These Goombas live in a town known as [[Rogueport]]. Many of these Goombas are independent thieves, bandits, crooks, cheats, and "cleaners". These ones wear green or other colored hats, similar to the hat [[Link]] wears. Although not the best of company, these Goombas from Rogueport do not attack Mario. However, the Goombas that live in [[Rogueport Underground]], [[Petal Meadows]] or in [[Riverside Station]] are very aggressive. Goombas behave just as their ''Paper Mario'' counterparts but are not as much of a threat, since Mario can perform Action Commands from the beginning of the game. They also appear as enemies in Bowser's platformer levels, where they run away if they spot Bowser. However, Bowser can still take damage from them upon contact. All these Goomba species featured previously in ''Paper Mario'' also return in this game.

Although a large number of either aggressive or simply seedy Goombas appear in the game, ''The Thousand-Year Door'' features two Goombas that aid Mario in his adventure. His first partner to do so is [[Goombella]], a female college student from the [[University of Goom]], a school for Goombas. She actually joins Mario on his quest to find the legendary treasure hidden beneath the town of Rogueport (as well as rescue Princess Peach, who has been captured by the [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]]). Her Goomba teacher from Goomba University, [[Professor Frankly]], also helps Mario by interpreting the [[Magical Map]], allowing him to find the next [[Crystal Star]] and continue his journey. As members of the [[Audience]], Goombas have no unique behavior, but will typically throw damaging items at Mario.

In the game's [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], fake cardboard Goombas named [[Goomboard]]s appear as training targets when Mario practices with the [[Battle Master]].

{{quote|Near as we can figure, most of the other minions got captured or something. And we're probably next! (Dude! Why is [[Luigi|this dude]] so calm?! We're behind enemy lines!)|Goomba|Super Paper Mario}}
Goombas appear in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. In this adventure, Goombas are the first enemies to be battled. They are slightly less common than the [[Squiglet]]s. Goombas also appear in the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]] in rooms 2, 5, 14, and 46. Their HP is lowered to 1 in this game, but attack and defense stay the same from previous ''Paper Mario'' titles. Some of the Goombas in this game have the ability to [[Flip]], just like Mario. This game also introduces [[Headbonk Goomba]]s, which are throwbacks to the previous two ''Paper Mario'' games, as the Goombas' main attack is the Headbonk, and [[Dark Goomba]]s, the dark versions of Goombas that appear in the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]]. An unnamed Goomba, and another named [[Gary (Super Paper Mario)|Gary]], appear after Chapter 2, helping [[Luigi]] find a way out of [[Castle Bleck]]. When they reach a dead-end, Gary is brainwashed, while the unnamed Goomba willingly joins [[Count Bleck]]'s army. They then hold Luigi so that he can be brainwashed into [[Mr. L]].

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
{{quote|You! You think Goombas are just cheap little single-ply secondary characters? Think again! We're going on a Goomba joyride, and we're gonna roll [[Mario|you]] over like a little red speed bump!|Goomba|Paper Mario: Sticker Star}}
Goombas reappear in the game ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], but their appearance have been updated to match contemporary ''Super Mario'' games as opposed to the first three ''Paper Mario'' games whose appearances were closer to ones from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''; their feet are now brown instead of red, their eyebrows are no longer as thick as in the previous ''Paper Mario'' games, and they are a darker brown. However, as shown in [[List of Paper Mario: Sticker Star pre-release and unused content|early builds of this game]], they were first seen in their intial ''Paper Mario'' appearance.

In this game, regular Goombas are stronger and have more HP than their previous appearances, and are seen in Worlds 1, 2, 3, and 6, making them one of the most common enemies. Goombas can now turn into [[Paper-Cone Goomba]]s, pointed Goombas that resemble paper airplanes and even fly toward Mario, and a [[2-Fold Goomba]]. [[Goomba Wheel]], [[Mural Goomba]]s, and [[Shiny Goomba]]s also debut in the game as well. Like in the first two ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' games, the Goomba's only attack is by Headbonking Mario. If a Goomba's attack misses, it rolls over. Some Goombas fight alone, but they do aid [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, [[Spiny|Spinies]], [[Shy Guy]]s, and [[Snifit]]s. Some Goombas also hide in bushes and try to ambush the player by jumping out of the bush.

A trio of Goombas are fought in [[Decalburg]] to demonstrate the [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|sticker mechanic]]. These same Goombas also guard the first [[Comet Piece]] in the game. The [[Megasparkle Goomba]], a Goomba who went insane from a [[Royal Sticker]], serves as the first major boss of the game. There are also two Goombas that assist [[Kamek]] during his battle in [[Water's Edge Way]].

Goombas can be beaten with a [[First Strike]] without engaging in combat with them once the player has one Royal Sticker.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
{{quote|GOOM! I mean BOOM! Ugh... I waited all day just to say that, and I totally blew it. Whatever. FIGHT ME!|Goomba|Paper Mario: Color Splash}}
[[File:PMCS Goomba.png|thumb|A Goomba from ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'']]
Goombas are recurring enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', although they are less common than [[Shy Guy]]s in this game (in fact, the very first battle Mario has is against Shy Guys). They have the same appearance they had back in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''. If Mario's hammer is powerful enough, Goombas can be defeated out of battle with a [[First Strike]] in order to not enter into a fight. Goombas also appear as NPCs in some levels such as [[The Golden Coliseum]] and the [[Sunset Express]]. A Goomba is the first-round opponent in [[Roshambo Temple#Roshambo Temple #1|Roshambo Temple #1]]. Allied Goombas attack the closest enemy with a Headbonk, which is a jump attack dealing 6 damage. It can send enemies into shells and ground flying enemies, but fails against enemies with spikes.

[[Goomba Wheel]]s return in [[Sacred Forest]], but they are called "Small Goomba Wheels" as the level is tiny due to [[Kamek]]'s magic. One [[Paper-Cone Goomba]] returns in Kiwano Temple. [[Mini Goomba|Small Goomba]]s, [[Small Goomba Gang]]s, [[Big Goomba|Mega Goomba]]s, [[Paragoomba]]s, and [[Accordion Goombas]] also appear.

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
Goombas return in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''. Regular Goombas appear as supporting characters, while origami Goombas appear as enemies in a variety of areas. In battle, Goombas attack with a Headbonk move, as well as other moves which Goombas con perform if there is more than one of them, such as Group Headbonk, in which multiple Goombas can Headbonk Mario at the same time; Wave Headbonk, where multiple Goombas will form a line and Headbonk each other in a domino effect, which hit Mario for how many Goombas are doing the attack, with the last one in the line doing a regular Headbonk; and Tower Attack (which is an attack many enemies can use), where multiple Goombas can form a tower by standing on each other's heads, with the Goomba at the top Headbonking Mario, and the amount of damage depends on how many Goombas are performing the attack. If Mario blocks while having any Guard Plus accessories equipped, the Goombas' Headbonk move deal no damage. Large [[Paper Macho Goomba]]s also appear as enemies. [[Paragoomba]]s, [[Bone Goomba]]s, and [[Galoomba]] variants reappear.

When Mario lands in the dungeon of [[Peach's Castle]], he meets a Goomba who claims he had never met Mario or a Toad before. However, this Goomba is later turned into a Folded Soldier and is the first one Mario must face on his adventure. On the path to Toad Town, Mario rescues a group of regular Goombas from Origami Goombas, who decide to hide in a house in Toad Town for the rest of the game. In [[Shangri-Spa]], Goombas are among the minions being forced to do labor work to repay the damage from Bowser's Castle destroying the banquet hall.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
[[File:GoombaMK8.png|thumb|Goomba from [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|Mario Circuit]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''.]]
Goombas have appeared as obstacles in various games of the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. They behave consistently throughout the series, simply waddling in place and moving slightly left and right on the track and causing a player to spin out from driving into them. However, their size varies between appearances, and ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' renders them as 2D sprites. In most games, if a Goomba is hit by an item, it drops a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]]. In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', Goombas appear in [[GCN Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]], waddling in place right before the [[finish line]]. In ''Mario Kart DS'', Goombas appear in [[DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] and in certain missions, such as the race against Goomboss, who spawns two or three Goombas every few seconds while moving. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Goombas are encountered in [[Mushroom Gorge]], [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Mario Circuit]], [[Koopa Cape]], and the returning {{classic|GCN|Mario Circuit}}. In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', are larger, and they appear in [[3DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] and [[Piranha Plant Slide]], as well as the returning {{classic|Wii|Mushroom Gorge}} and {{classic|Wii|Koopa Cape}}. On Piranha Plant Slide, the underground Goombas are colored blue. In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Goombas appear in [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|Mario Circuit]], {{classic link|N64|Yoshi Valley}} (replacing [[Porcupo]]s from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''), and {{classic|3DS|Piranha Plant Slide}} in the base game. Additionally, the [[Nintendo Switch]] version's ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' also includes them in {{classic link|Tour|New York Minute}}, {{classic|Wii|Mushroom Gorge}}, {{classic|DS|Mario Circuit}}, {{classic|Tour|Athens Dash}}, {{classic|Wii|Koopa Cape}}, and {{classic|Tour|Madrid Drive}}. In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', Goombas are obstacles in many stages and stage variants. They are the main focus of "[[Goomba Takedown]]" challenges, where they may appear in large formations, with the goal of defeating as many as possible in a single lap. Unlike other ''Mario Kart'' games, Goombas can be bowled over by driving into them, but this still causes the racer to spin out. Additionally, a Goomba can now also be defeated by landing on them while gliding or after driving off a ramp, giving the driver a [[Jump Boost]]. For normal course variants, Goombas are found on all versions of [[Tour Paris Promenade|Paris Promenade]], as well as [[Tour Singapore Speedway|Singapore Speedway]], [[Tour Athens Dash|Athens Dash 2]], [[Madrid Drive]], [[RMX Mario Circuit 1]], DS Mario Circuit, Wii Mushroom Gorge, Wii Koopa Cape, 3DS Mario Circuit, and 3DS Piranha Plant Slide.

Though ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' is the first game to have Goombas as obstacles, ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' is their actual first appearance. However, Goombas, which use their ''[[Paper Mario]]'' design, are restricted to a background appearance in the audience during the award ceremony. Similarly, ''Mario Kart Wii'' also includes Goombas as spectators during the trophy celebration. In ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', a Goomba is displayed on the height requirement posters in the entrance to the Sub Coaster ride in [[Water Park]], representing the height that riders must be taller than.

Other variants of Goombas are not commonly encountered as obstacles. Technically, the first time any Goomba variation has appeared on a course is in ''Mario Kart 7'', which has [[wooden cutout]]s of Goombas blocking the last few turns of [[3DS Piranha Plant Slide|Piranha Plant Slide]]. In ''Mario Kart 8'', a [[Goomba Tower]] appears at the end of Mario Circuit. Furthermore, in the Nintendo Switch version's Booster Course Pass, [[Innertube Goomba]]s appear in {{classic link|Tour|Singapore Speedway}}, like in ''Mario Kart Tour'', and {{classic link|GCN|Daisy Cruiser}}. In ''Mario Kart Tour''{{'}}s "Goomba Takedown" challenges, Goombas may appear in the form of Goomba Towers. Additionally, the game also features [[Shoe Goomba]]s alongside Goombas in Madrid Drive.

===''WarioWare'' series===
[[File:Super Wario Bros. Microgame WarioWare Mega Microgames.png|thumb|left|Goombas as they appear in the [[Super Wario Bros.]] microgame from ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'']]
Goombas make cameos in the ''WarioWare'' series, often within [[9-Volt]]'s stage. In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', they appear in the microgames [[Super Wario Bros.]] and [[Super Mario Bros. (WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!)|Super Mario Bros.]], both requiring the player to defeat them to win. In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', they appear as enemies that try to defeat Mario in the boss microgame [[Super Mario Bros. (WarioWare: Twisted!)|Super Mario Bros.]], just as in the original game. In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', Goombas are some of the enemies to be defeated in the [[Super Mario Bros. (Stomp!)|Super Mario Bros.]] ''Stomp!'' microgame. In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', one Goomba appears as an obstacle that Mario has to avoid in the third level of the microgame [[Super Mario Brothers (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Super Mario Brothers]], although sometimes it is replaced with a bottomless pit. In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'', Goombas make a cameo as a stamp in the [[GameMakerMatic]], and one can appear in the downloadable microgame [[Hue-Down]]. [[Gamer]] from ''[[Game & Wario]]'' has a boy in a Goomba costume who must be squashed by Mario in the third level of the microgame [[Sole Man]].

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
{{quote|Dare to dream, [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Cap]]! We're all counting on you!|Goomba|Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions}}
[[File:MandL Goomba.png|frame|left|Goombas as they appear in-game in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'']]
A group of Goombas join Bowser as he attempts to track down [[Cackletta]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. These Goombas hold tutorial battles with Mario and Luigi in the [[Koopa Cruiser]], who happens to join Bowser in his search for Cackletta (as she has stolen Princess Peach's voice). These Goombas are patrolling the halls of the cruiser or simply hiding in barrels. The Goombas engage in battles with the Mario Bros., to get some training before the Mario Bros. battle [[Fawful]]. In battle, a Goomba approaches either Mario or Luigi, somersaults towards him, then bites. This attack can be dodged by jumping after the Goomba opens its mouth. To counter the attack, Mario or Luigi would have to jump right when the Goomba's mouth opens. They each have 4 HP. The Goombas do not see much action after that, since the Koopa Cruiser is shot down by Fawful before [[Cackletta]] is engaged in combat.

Although traditional Goombas do not appear throughout the rest of the game, a number of variants are located in [[Beanbean Kingdom]]. The [[Tanoomba]]s reside just north of [[Beanbean Castle Town]]. Another, known as the [[Gritty Goomba]], lives in the [[Teehee Valley]] region, with their [[Elite Gritty Goomba|Elite]] variants residing in [[Gwarhar Lagoon]]. These Goombas are covered in bandages and have the ability to conjure sandstorms to distort opponents. The last Goomba of the Beanbean Kingdom is the [[Goomdiver]]; unlike most Goombas, they are found on the [[Seabed]] and wear special scuba diving gear. [[Beanie]]s also seem to be the "Goomba" of the [[Beanbean Kingdom]], in a similar manner to [[Troopea]]s being the Beanbean counterpart of [[Koopa Troopa]]s.

Goombas return in the remake of the game, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. One of the first two Goombas that are encountered during ''Superstar Saga'' is retroactively revealed to be the future [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]]. Goombas function in the same way as the original as enemies to Mario and Luigi, but now, they play a huge part in the major side story alongside the main Mario Bros. story, ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'', with the protagonist of the story being Captain Goomba, a young, upstart Goomba who leads the charge to rescue Bowser from the hands of Cackletta and Fawful. Goombas are Melee troopers, and attack by charging into enemies. Their [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]], Rocket Headbutt, allows them to give an opponent a headbutt. The {{button|3ds|A}} button must be pressed as they hit the opponent in order to perform an excellent attack. Paragoombas, Big Tail Goombas, and Goomba Towers also appear as allies.

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
Goombas are weak enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', encountered in [[Bowser's Castle]] while in the past. To attack, a Goomba slowly runs into the Mario Bros. This can be countered with a [[Jump]] defense. Goombas are sometimes aided in battle by [[Boo]]s. Additionally, in the present-time events of ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', Goombas appear in [[Peach's Castle Dungeon]]. These Goombas are slightly stronger, and they attack faster than the ones from Bowser's Castle. They are the only non-boss/mini-boss battles that can be fought in the present Mushroom Kingdom.

Other Goomba variants are featured in the game. The [[Tanoomba]] returns from ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' and appears in [[Thwomp Volcano]]. A variant of Tanoomba known as [[Tashrooba]] is battled in [[Shroob Castle]].
{{br}}

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
[[File:Bowserrules.png|thumb|Goombas aid Bowser's Special Attack, Goomba Storm.]]
Goombas return in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' as one of Bowser's [[Special Attack (Bowser)|Special Attack]]s, [[Goomba Storm]], where the player has to touch Goombas to light them on fire and send them upward. The enemy takes damage for each Goomba it is hit with. Fawful captures some Goombas and brainwashes them, while other ones are put in a cage in [[Dimble Wood]]. Bowser also encounters two new species, the [[Chuboomba]]s, fat Goombas that carry lollipops, and [[Choomba]]s, Goombas that resemble steam engine trains and gain speed in their charge, even after Bowser punches them. Also, another, similar species, called [[Goombule]]s, are found inside Bowser. [[Jailgoon]]s are living cage enemies containing either a Goomba or a [[Bob-omb]].

The top screen of Mario and Luigi's [[Bros. Attack|Special Attack]]s tutorials show a Goomba being defeated by the Special Attack although no normal Goombas are fought; ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' is notable for being the only game in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series where regular Goombas do not appear as enemies.

Goombas return in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', where they additionally are found as enemies and recruitable allies in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode.

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
Goombas reappear as enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', where they are found in [[Driftwood Shore]]. Unlike most other appearances, Goombas are encountered much later in the game. Like a select few enemies, Goombas do not appear on the field, and can only be fought by getting into a battle with a [[Fly Guy#Mario & Luigi: Dream Team|Fly Guy]] or [[Durapurl]]. In battle, Goombas charge at Mario and Luigi without pausing. If they look in Mario's direction and tilt back, they charge at Mario. If they look at Luigi's direction and tilt forward, they charge at Luigi. Mario and Luigi must avoid this attack by jumping over or on them. Goombas can cause the [[trip]] status effect if they hit Mario or Luigi.

Goombas attack in unison with Fly Guys differently depending on whether or not there are Goombas present on the battlefield. If there are not any Goombas present, a Fly Guy flies high into the sky to reappear flying back into the battlefield from the background, now air-lifting a Goomba in its grip, who it drops in line with Mario and Luigi from Mario's left for them both to charge one after another at Mario and Luigi. Dodging the Goomba requires Mario and Luigi to jump before it hits them. Dodging the Fly Guy requires Mario and Luigi to not jump into it while trying to dodge the Goomba, and to just idle as it goes by. This attack takes up the Fly Guy's attack turn.

If there is a Goomba present, a Fly Guy picks up a nearby Goomba, fly above Mario or Luigi, and bomb the Goomba on them, which must be countered by smacking the Goomba with the hammer before it lands on the targeted Bro. Regardless of whether the former part of the attack was countered or not, if the Goomba was not defeated due to the counter-attack damage, it then either runs at the targeted Bro again or if the Goomba has stars around its head, it charges into the Bro who was not originally targeted. The Goomba must then be hit with the hammer again. This attack takes up the Fly Guy's attack turn.

Goombas have weaker versions early in the game known as [[Gromba]]s.

A stronger variation of Goombas called [[Goomba R|Goombas R]] appears later on in the game.

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
[[File:Goombas MLPJ.png|thumb|left|Artwork of Goombas and [[Paper Goomba]]s from ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'']]
Goombas return in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' as a basic enemy. Both Goombas and [[Paper Goomba]]s appear. They are commonly found in the [[Sunbeam Plains]], several are fought during the mission [[Final Smash (mission)|Final Smash]] in [[Neo Bowser Castle]], and one is fought alongside a Paper Goomba, a [[Koopa Troopa]] and a [[Paper Koopa Troopa]] as one of Bowser's last lines of defense. The Goombas have a similar attack pattern to [[Goombule]]s from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. One of the [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]]s can possibly turn standard enemies into Goombas.

Goombas also appear during the final battle against [[Shiny RoboBowser]]. Aside from Shiny [[Paper Goomba]]s occasionally appearing, regular Goombas appear during two of Bowser's attacks. When he chases the trio to the left, Goombas appear along the path and must be jumped over to avoid damage. They also appear during the Airplane Guard chase attack, where Goombas run at the Bros. in a horizontal line and must also be jumped over.

Additionally, a [[Crinkle Goomba|crinkled Goomba]] appears as a recurring character. He serves as the first enemy fought in the game, the tutorial for Paper Mario's unique abilities and Battle Cards. The Crinkled Goomba serves as an ally and enemy to the Mario brothers, helping them on some occasions (such as outright giving the Mario brothers Battle Cards) while hindering them on others (such as stealing the medallion necessary to enter [[Bowser's Castle]]).
{{br}}

====''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''====
Goombas appear as enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]''. Like in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', Goombas are encountered much later in the game. A group of them are first fought on [[Slippenglide Island]] where all Goombas must be defeated at once otherwise any survivors will call reinforcements. In the second visit to [[Heatfreeze Island]], Goombas are the the first round in an optional gauntlet of Bowser's Minions and must also all be defeated at once. Goombas also appear normally on [[Offandon Island]] and [[Wayaway Island]], without the need to defeat them at once.

In battle, Goombas have two attacks. For their first attack, they all charge at a single Bro. with some of them forming Goomba Towers. For their second attack, they charge at either Bro. Any Goombas that jump before charging jump over their target. If one Goomba is left, it runs away.

[[Bowser]] can also summon Goombas to his side in his first battle. He can also have enemies charge at the Bros., with Goombas being one of them.

===''Mario Baseball'' series===
[[File:GoombaBaseball.png|thumb|200px|Goomba preparing to bat in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'']]
In both games of the [[Mario Baseball (series)|''Mario Baseball'' series]], ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', Goomba is a playable character, as well as a [[Paragoomba]]. Both Goomba and Paragoomba use a baseball bat and a glove, which they levitate to make up for their lack of arms. Goomba has the [[Ball Dash]] ability, where it can run very fast and possibly tag any runners out when carrying the ball. In ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', Goomba is a balanced character with average running, though it is slightly weak in every other stat. Goomba has good [[chemistry]] with Paragoomba, [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Monty Mole]], and no bad chemistry with any of the characters. In ''Mario Super Sluggers'', Goomba has good chemistry with [[Koopa Troopa]] instead of Diddy Kong, and it was given bad chemistry with [[Toad]], [[Toadette]], and [[Toadsworth]].

===''Super Princess Peach''===
In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', Princess Peach has to fight Bowser's Minions while attempting to rescue Mario, Luigi, and Toads. In the game, Bowser has acquired the [[Vibe Scepter]] from [[Vibe Island]], and he uses its power to attack Princess Peach's Castle. A lone Goomba leads an army of Hammer Bros. in an assault on the castle, using the power of the Vibe Scepter to debilitate the castle guards. The attack is successful, and Mario, Luigi, and multiple castle Toads are captured by the Hammer Bros. Fortunately, Princess Peach and her attendant [[Toadsworth]] escapes the assault. Princess Peach decides to rescue her friends, and she is given a magical umbrella named [[Perry]] to help her in her quest. Once again, Goombas, among other enemies, attempt to stop her in her travels around Vibe Island. She can throw the Goomba at another enemy, hit the Goomba with Perry, or have the umbrella eat the Goomba. Paragoombas, as well as Red Paragoombas, appear in the game as well. Princess Peach also battles with a number of emotional varieties of Goomba, all affected by the power of the Vibe Scepter (which is accidentally released across the island by the Goomba who leads the attack on Mushroom Castle). These emotional Goombas include the [[Mad Goomba]], the [[Sad Goomba]], the [[Sad Paragoomba]], and the [[M. Red P-Goomba]].

===''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''===
In ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', there is a Goomba-shaped basketball, unlocked by obtaining a gold trophy in the Hard [[Star Tourney]]. Additionally, Goombas appear as crowd members in [[Mario Stadium (Mario Hoops 3-on-3) | Mario Stadium]].

===''Mario & Sonic'' series===
In the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]], Goombas first appear in the [[Nintendo DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]''. Here, they only appear in two minigames, [[Conveyor Belt (minigame)|Conveyor Belt]], as one of the species needing to be sorted, and [[Shoot!]], as one of the enemies needing to be hit.

Since both the [[Wii]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)|version]] and the Nintendo DS [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|version]] of ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'', Goombas have mainly had the role of being obstacles in Olympic events, based on their recurring role in the ''Mario Kart'' series. In the game's Nintendo DS version, Goombas appear as obstacles in [[Ski Cross Racing]], as well as a single one at the end of the [[Deluxe Halfpipe]] course, all of which slow whoever hits them. In the Wii version, Goombas appear in both the [[Dream Ski Cross (Individual)|individual]] and [[Dream Ski Cross (Team)|team]] versions of Dream Ski Cross, where they slowly move around the course, and whoever touches them falls over and loses speed. In [[Dream Ice Hockey]], Goombas occasionally appear on the rink and knocks over any characters that hit them. Goombas also appear in [[Dream Curling]], where one appears as part of every frame and can be hit to score 5 bonus points. The Goombas are not included in the pin total for strikes and spares, though the points earned for them are doubled if hit after scoring one. In the Nintendo 3DS version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'', a pair of Goomba sprites from ''Super Mario Bros.'' appear as character walls, functioning as obstacles that block the golf ball, although they disappear when hit.

Aside from being obstacles, Goombas commonly appear in figure skating events. In the Wii version of ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'', several Goombas also appear in the first segment of the Mario World routine in [[Dream Figure Skating]]. Similarly, in the game's Nintendo DS version, Goombas appear in [[Ultimate Figure Skating]], where they can be defeated using spin attacks in the spin sections of the Mario Medley and alongside [[Kiki]]s in the Mario & Sonic Medley. A single Goomba appears during [[Mario's Figure Skating Spectacular]] in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', where it appears as the true form of the [[Tail Bowser]] after it has been defeated.

In [[Curling Bowling]], an event in the Nintendo DS version of ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'', Goombas uniquely serve a role of being bowling pins, and the player must fully knock Goombas down to earn [[point]]s. This is not unlike [[Goomba Bowling]], a minigame later introduced in a different game, ''[[Mario Party 9]]''.

A Goomba has a role in the Story Mode of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', though mainly during the bonus episodes. A Goomba is first seen at the opening ceremony for the Olympic Games. In the bonus episodes, a Goomba encourages Bowser Jr. to defeat another of [[Dr. Eggman]]'s robots after his initial victory, and they find Dr. Eggman and [[Metal Sonic]] at the [[Main Stadium]]. When Dr. Eggman sets some consequences for Bowser Jr. losing the match, Goomba unsuccessfully tries to dissuade him but congratulates Bowser Jr. when he wins and promises to tell Bowser. A Goomba also appears in the Wild Ones bonus episodes, where it notices that Bowser seems to be in a particularly bad mood after getting a bad introduction to [[London]]. Goomba then accompanies Bowser to challenge Donkey Kong at the Main Stadium, and then [[Knuckles]] and [[Vector]] at [[ExCeL London]]. When the other minions are unsuccessful in setting up a match with Mario for Bowser, Goomba is hesitantly transformed by [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] to look like him and challenges Bowser in [[Tennis (Singles)]]. After losing the match, Goomba is transformed back and celebrates with the other minions when Bowser's mood improves. Aside from their role in Story mode, a Goomba also has an obtainable [[List of badges in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|badge]].

===''Super Mario'' Chess===
In [[Super Mario Chess|''Super Mario'' Chess]], Goombas appear as rooks on Bowser's team.

===''Mario Tennis'' series===
In their first appearance in the [[Mario Tennis (series)|''Mario Tennis'' series]], ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'', Goombas have a racket that can be used by [[Mii]]s, as well as a Goomba costume if the player unlocks 100 tennis gear items. In ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', Goombas appear as passengers scurrying across the [[Snowfall Mountain]] court.

===''Mario Golf'' series===
Goombas have only made two minor appearances in the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]]. In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', Goombas are NPC characters in the [[Castle Club]] game mode. Additionally, their name can appear on the tournament scoreboard, and their costume, ball, and golf clubs can be used by [[Mii]]s. In ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', a horde of Goombas appears in [[Bonny Greens]] and [[Rookie Course]] as NPCs.

===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
[[File:Sleeping Goomba Level CaptainToadTreasureTracker.png|thumb|left|Innertube Goombas in ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'']]
Goombas, regaining their traits from ''Super Mario 3D World'', return as enemies in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|ports]]. [[Goomba Tower]]s and the [[Innertube Goomba]]s return as well.

===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
Goombas appear as weak, common enemies in the puzzle and RPG hybrid called ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]''. A Goomba's main attribute is the Wood type, which means its weakness is Fire while resisting Water. Its skill is Bash, where it can deal 10 damage to one foe. Its level cap is 25, lower than most enemies and allies in the game.
{{br}}

===''Minecraft''===
[[File:Minecraft Mario Mash-Up Chicken Render.png|80px|thumb|A Goomba in ''Minecraft'']]
In the [[Minecraft#Super Mario Mash-up|Super Mario Mash-up]] in ''[[Minecraft]]'', [[minecraftwiki:Chicken|chickens]] are replaced by Goombas. A 3D reconstruction and 2D pixel art of Goombas appear in the premade world of the game.

===''Mario Sports Superstars''===
Goombas appear as team members for soccer and baseball in ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'', this being the third sports game in which Goombas are playable. Contrary to their appearances in the [[Mario Baseball (series)|''Mario Baseball'' series]], they are classified as power-type characters. In soccer, [[Bone Goomba]]s can also be selected. Goombas, alongside Bone Goombas, appear as enemies in the Road to Superstar mode of the game, where players need to clear them and other obstacles with sports equipment in order to progress through the mode.

===''Mario + Rabbids'' series===
====''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''====
Goombas appear in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'' as background characters in the [[Ancient Gardens]]. One can be seen with a happy expression while being levitated by a water spout, to which [[Beep-0]] comments, "On the plus side his backside has got to be extremely clean by now." A group of [[Ziggy|Ziggies]] can also be seen sticking two Goombas together with honey during their introductory cutscene.

====''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope''====
{{Quote|A little Goomba [[File:Goomba icon MRSOH.png|20px]] goes a LONG WAY. If you could defeat even THREE of them I'd be grateful.|Rabbid|Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope}}
Goombas return in the sequel, ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', this time as enemies. They first appear in the battle [[Headlong into the Unknown]] on the [[Darkmess Manta]], where [[Cursa]] hypnotizes a group of them to attack Mario and [[Rabbid Peach]]. After they are hypnotized, their eye pupils turn orange. Goombas later appear commonly in [[Beacon Beach]] and [[Palette Prime]], as well as alongside the [[Big Magikoopa|Giant Magikoopa]] in [[Terra Flora]] (which can spawn six Goombas per turn), alongside [[Daphne]] during the first phase of her battle in [[Barrendale Mesa]], and alongside [[Darkmess Bowser]] in [[Cursa's stronghold]].

In battle, Goombas often appear in lines of three and usually have low enough HP for all of them to be defeated with a single dash if the playable character lines up directly in front of the one at the front or the back. If they are not defeated following a dash attack, they flip over and can be picked up and thrown, dealing low damage to the Goomba itself and to any enemy it lands on. Goombas attack by dashing into the playable characters. They also have new voices in this game.

There are also stronger variants called [[Armored Goomba]]s with metal pots on their heads.
{{br}}

===''Dr. Mario World''===
Goombas debut in the [[Dr. Mario (series)|''Dr. Mario'' series]] in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as assistants, being the first assistant the player receives after completing Stage 5 (Stage 20 prior to version 2.0.0), as well as being a reward after clearing the first area of [[World 25]]. Their Stage Mode skill increases the score by a percentage of the base score (2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10% at level 1 to level 5 respectively) rounded down, while their Versus Mode skill grants a chance that the attack meter fills instantly if the opponent attacks, effectively counterattacking the opponent. In addition, a [[Goomba Tower]] appears as one of the playable doctors. During Clinic Events, a Goomba appeared as a patient in Season 2 and the Season 2 revisit.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
[[File:TSMBM-Goombas.jpg|thumb|Goombas in ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'']]
Goombas appear in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' as troops in [[Bowser]]'s army. Some Goombas are also shown as captives alongside the [[Penguin King]], [[Penguin]]s, a [[Lumalee]], and [[Luigi]].
{{br}}

===Other appearances===
====''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening''====
[[File:Goombas LADX screenshot.png|thumb|left|Link encountering two Goombas in a sidescrolling passage of Tail Cave in ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX'']]
{{multiframe|[[File:Goomba LA GB sprite.png|42px]] [[File:LOZLA Goomba.PNG|42px]] [[File:LANS Goomba.png]]|A Goomba's appearance in the original, ''DX'', and Nintendo Switch versions of ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening'' respectively|size=200|align=right}}
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', Goombas appear as enemies within various [[zeldawiki:Dungeon|dungeon]]s. [[Link]] encounters most of them in the sidescrolling passages, often alongside [[Piranha Plant]]s, except [[zeldawiki:Eagle's Tower|Eagle's Tower]], which is the only top-down area where Goombas appear. Link can defeat a Goomba by either [[jump]]ing on it (provided he has the [[zeldawiki:Roc's Feather|Roc's Feather]] equipped), just like in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]], or use his signature method of striking it with his sword. If Link jumps on a Goomba, he gains a [[zeldawiki:heart|heart]]. If a Goomba touches Link, he loses half of a heart in his health meter.

Unlike in most of their appearances, Goombas are depicted with a smiling face. In the Nintendo Direct trailer for the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], Goombas have an identical design to their modern appearance in the ''Super Mario'' franchise, but for the final release, their frowning expression was changed to a smile, more closely resembling their appearance in the original game. The Nintendo Switch remake also features a collectible Goomba figure that can be won in the [[zeldawiki:Trendy Game|Trendy Game]] after clearing the [[zeldawiki:Tail Cave|Tail Cave]] and placed in [[zeldawiki:Marin|Marin]] and [[zeldawiki:Tarin|Tarin]]'s house. The text that appears upon acquiring the Goomba figure reads, "''You got a Goomba figure! Try to resist the urge to jump on it.''"

====''Wii Fit'' series====
8-bit Goombas appear in the jogging minigame in ''[[nwiki:Wii Fit|Wii Fit]]'', where they are scattered throughout the island, along with some other ''Super Mario Bros.'' sprites. Although they serve mainly as scenery, in the ''[[nwiki:Wii Fit Plus|Wii Fit Plus]]'' version of the minigame, at the end of the course, a question about what sprite the player saw may be asked.

===Traits and abilities===
{{quote|'Marching straight ahead into the enemy's feet!' Didn't you memorize that in Goomba boot camp?|Bowser|Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story}}
Goombas are a fungus-based species capable of speech. They resemble brown shiitake mushrooms (or chestnuts, hence their Japanese name) with two feet, stems that are either yellow or tan, but no arms. Goombas have large faces that occupy most of their mushroom caps, while their stems attach their heads to their feet. A defining feature are their black bushy eyebrows that form a scowl. They also have two upward-pointing fangs that sometimes resemble braces. Both Goombas and Toads are fungus-based, and both originated from the Mushroom Kingdom (although, as mentioned, the Goomba race betrayed their homeland many years ago).

''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' gives the Goombas a redesign: they have a more stylized appearance, as with all of the characters in the movie, and unlike their previous appearances, Goombas are shown to have colored eyes, which are brown.

[[File:Goomba (stomped-eng) - Super Mario Sticker.gif|thumb|200px|[[LINE]] sticker showing a Goomba being flattened by Mario]]
Goombas are among the most basic enemies. They can typically be defeated with a single punch, stomp, or fireball attack, although in some games, they are a bit more resilient. When jumped on, Goombas usually flatten before being defeated. They are particularly weak against fire magic, as seen in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''. Although Goombas are physically weak, they are very adaptable. Regular Goombas have been encountered in almost all types of terrain, while many variants have emerged well-suited for certain environments. Goombas cannot swim and drown instantly when they touch water.

[[File:SMB-GoombaWalking.gif|frame|left|A Goomba walking in ''Super Mario Bros.'']]
Goombas' main form of attack is walking into their opponents. Rarely, a Goomba walks off a ledge and falls on its enemy. A Goomba's only real strength is that it works in large groups to attack an enemy. This forces the opponent to be much more cautious as they fight the group. In some games, Goombas have additional attacks such as biting and spitting thorns from their mouths in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]].'' In the ''Mario & Luigi'' series, various Goombas attack by charging with a headbutt, biting, rolling, and kicking. In ''Paper Mario'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Goombas gain the ability to [[headbonk]] enemies, which also returns in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''.

While not as often as characters like [[Shy Guy]]s, Goombas do occasionally use tools to aid them. Despite their lack of arms, Goombas are shown to be able to pick up and use various objects. In ''Super Mario Party'', the playable Goomba is shown holding objects in its mouth and sometimes carries things on top of its head, such as a [[boomerang]] or [[Dice Block]].

One part of technology the Goombas use is the parachute. The parachute allows a large number of Goombas to swarm enemy territory from the sky. Goombas using life preservers, and Goomdivers are equipped to adapt to water. Goombas have developed a number of tools to counter the jumping ability of the Mario Bros.: The [[Goomba's Shoe]] allows them to imitate [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], while the spiked hat seen in the ''[[Paper Mario]]'' series counters any jump attack (unless Mario is wearing a Spike Shield [[badge]]). Gritty Goombas have attached spears to their heads to counter stomp attacks as well.

Goombas are often thought of as one of the weakest members of [[Bowser's Minions]]. ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the ''Mario & Luigi'' series, and the ''Paper Mario'' series show Goombas resent their low social status as the first enemies to be stomped by Mario and Luigi. A figurine bio in ''Mario Party DS'' even states they dream of one day turning the tables on the red plumber. Goombas usually appear as enemies, but there can also be heroic Goombas, like [[Goombella]] and [[Goombario]].

===Etymology===
The original Japanese name, "Kuribō", translates to "Chestnut Guy", which was due to the designs looking more like chestnuts than shiitake mushrooms.<ref>{{cite|url=legendsoflocalization.com/super-mario-bros/names|title=''Super Mario Bros.'' Translation Comparison: Names|publisher=Legends of Localization|language=en|accessdate=June 24, 2024}}</ref>{{dead link}} The name "Goomba" is phonetically similar to the Italian slang term "goombah". The term "goombah" is originated from the Italian word "compare" (abbreviated as "compà") which literally means "friend" in South Italy and "member of a criminal gang" in North Italy. This term was used by South Italians in the USA to describe themselves (although the term has also emerged as a derogatory word used by North-Italians against South-Italians and by Americans against Italian-Americans).

It may also be a derivation of "gomba", meaning "mushroom" in Hungarian.

==Profiles and statistics==
{{main|List of Goomba profiles and statistics}}
Most profiles mention that Goombas are among the lowliest and weakest creatures while also frequently stating they used to be peaceful members of the Mushroom Kingdom before turning traitorous and joining Bowser when he first attacked. Their stats are generally balanced, but on the low side.

==Notes==
*In both ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', the odd-numbered world with a water level ([[World 7 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7]] in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and [[World 3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 3]] in ''The Lost Levels'') has no Goombas. In ''VS. Super Mario Bros.''{{'}}s version of World 7-1, the Buzzy Beetle on the end staircase leading to the flagpole is replaced with a Goomba, although much like in that game's version of World 3-1 (which had the Koopas on the end staircase all replaced with Goombas), this is most likely to prevent the player from potentially performing the infinite 1-Up trick.
*The song "[[Walk the Dinosaur]]" featured on the official soundtrack credits the song to "The Goombas featuring {{wp|George Clinton (funk musician)|George Clinton}}". This is for humorous intent. The dancing Goombas from the film are featured in the music video.
