In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Goombeetles are found mostly found in [[Bowser]]'s and [[Bowser Jr.]]'s [[galaxy|galaxies]]. They are also found in the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]] and the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]]. They attack by charging at [[Mario]], just as regular Goombas. However, unlike regular Goombas, they cannot be defeated by being jumped on due to their helmets. To defeat them, Mario must flip them with a [[spin]] and then jump on them. Each one defeated releases a coin. If instead they are defeated with a [[Bullet Bill]], they will release three [[Star Bit]]s.
'''Helmet Goombas''' are a kind of [[Goomba]] found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They wear protective helmets, which prevent them fom being [[stomp]]ed; instead, they must first be flipped by a [[Star Spin]], and then [[Jump|jumped]] on. Helmet Goombas continue to differ from other sub-species in that they have glowing yellow eyes, and lack the set of pointed fangs typical of most Goombas.


In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Goombeetles can be found in [[Bowser Jr.'s Fiery Flotilla]], [[Beat Block Galaxy]] and [[Chompworks Galaxy]]. They can be defeated by the [[Co-Star Luma]] or instantly defeated by a [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]], which, like the previous game, causes them to release three Star Bits.
