==History==
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Goombeetles are found mostly found in military-based [[galaxy|galaxies]]. 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.
