'''Goombas''', initially called '''Little Goombas''',<ref> | '''Goombas''', initially called '''Little Goombas''',<ref>''Super Mario Bros.'' English instruction booklet, 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 meets. They resemble small brown mushrooms with two feet and no visible arms or legs. Goombas are physically 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]]. | The Goombas, as a collective race, used to be allied with the [[Mushroom Kingdom]].

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> | The Goomba was the last enemy created during the development process of ''Super Mario Bros.'' despite being the first encountered.

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 [[ | 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 [[Koopa Troop]]. 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. | 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.

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.

Pages 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. | 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.

Goombas make their first 3D appearance in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. | Goombas make their first 3D appearance in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Goombas 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 a Goomba spots Mario, it charges toward him. If the Goomba hits Mario, he loses one wedge of [[Health Meter|health]], or a wedge 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, Goombas 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 Goombas. | ||

After the player defeats the Goomba, 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. In certain [[Silver Star]] [[mission]]s, a Goomba may contain a Silver Star, which it drops when defeated. Goombas also assist [[Goomboss]] during his fight in [[Goomboss Battle]]. Goombas can be eaten by [[Yoshi]] in this game. | ||

====''Super Mario Galaxy''==== | ====''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. 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 appear as well. They appear in some galaxies in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', while they appear uncommonly in the game's successor, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are weaker than other Goombas and can be defeated with one spin, rather than being flipped, and they always leave behind a coin when defeated. However, it is possible to get three Star Bits from one of these small Goombas by kicking them while they are stunned. It is only possible to stun them by hitting the vibrating poles in [[Gateway Galaxy]] or by firing a [[Star Bit]] at them. A [[Big Goomba]] also appears in the Gateway Galaxy. It is still very weak but it has a chance to defend itself by jumping and hitting him if it sees him. | |||

[[Paragoomba]]s and [[Big Paragoomba]]s, which did not appear in the first game, also appear in this game, the latter making their debut. [[Chance Cube]]s also transform into Goombas if the player gets a [[Bowser]] emblem on them. | ||
The lighter brown and rounder versions of Goombas also return, albeit not being as common as they were in the previous game, and they give out one [[Star Bit]] each instead of a [[coin]] when they are defeated with a [[spin]], although they still give out one coin when jumped on. In addition, stunning them with a Star Bit and then kicking them still only yields one Star Bit as opposed to three as in the first game. | |||

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>[https://www.nintendo.co.uk/News/2023/October/Ask-the-Developer-Vol-11-Super-Mario-Bros-Wonder-Chapter-2-2460633.html|"Ask the Developer Vol. 11, Super Mario Bros.

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 from their hole. | |||

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.

Goombas are among the weakest members of the Koopa Troop in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch version]]. However, they are more powerful than the [[Terrapin]].

[[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. | |||

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. | ||

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. | The regular brown Goombas in ''Paper Mario'' behave similarly to their counterparts in ''Super Mario 64''.

These Goombas nurse Mario back to full strength and provides him with a [[Hammer]] to fight the Koopa Troop. 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.

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.

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]]. | ||

They resemble brown shiitake mushrooms (or chestnuts, hence their Japanese name) with two feet, 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). | ||

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. | ''[[The Super Mario Bros.

Goombas usually appear as enemies, but there can also be heroic Goombas, like [[Goombella]] and [[Goombario]]. | ||
===Etymology=== | ===Etymology=== | ||
The original Japanese name, "Kuribō", translates to "Chestnut Guy", which was due to the designs looking more like chestnuts than shiitake mushrooms.<ref> | The original Japanese name, "Kuribō", translates to "Chestnut Guy", which was due to the designs looking more like chestnuts than shiitake mushrooms.<ref>https://legendsoflocalization.com/super-mario-bros/names/</ref> | ||
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. | It may also be a derivation of "gomba", meaning "mushroom" in Hungarian. | ||
