They are basically regular Goombas that wear protective, which prevent them from being [[Stomp|stomped]] on; instead, [[Mario]] must use a [[Spin]] to flip them over and then [[Jump]] on top of them. However if they touch Mario, they are still just as deadly as their Goomba origins and will make him lose at least one life (if he does not fall into a [[Black Hole]]). |

| 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 greatly differ from other Goomba subspecies and from Goombas themselves in other ways than the fact that they wear protective helmets on top of their heads. More differences include their eyes which are not white like most other Goomba's eyes but are instead yellow-colored and just visible in the darkness of the helmet. Most Goombas also have a set of pointed fangs in their mouths but since the mouths of these Goombas are impossible to see due to the darkness, it is only assumed that they do not have those trademark fangs. |

| 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.
