'''Goombo'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Land'' Virtual Console digital manual|page=14}}</ref> (also known by its original Japanese name '''Chibibo'''<ref name=ENG>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Land'' instruction booklet|page=14|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1989}}</ref><ref name=NP>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''Game Boy'' Player's Guide|page=5|date=1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref>) is a variety of [[Goomba]] that resides in [[Sarasaland]]. Goombos have only appeared in ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', and were only referred to as such in the American digital manual for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] release of ''Super Mario Land'' in 2011, twenty-two years after the original game's release. ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' also refers to these as relatives of Goombas.<ref name=NP/> Goombos are approximately half the size of [[Small Mario]], while Goombas are usually about the same size.


Like Goombas, Goombos slowly meander to the side aiming to hit [[Mario]]. They will not turn around unless they hit an obstacle, and will wander off the edge of platforms. Once [[stomp]]ed or shot with a [[Superball Mario|Superball]], Mario will be rewarded with one hundred [[point]]s. After [[Bombshell Koopa]]s, Goombos are the most common enemy in the game, appearing in all kingdoms except for the [[Easton Kingdom]].
'''Goombos''' are a sub-species of the [[Goomba]]s that resided in [[Sarasaland]] during the events of ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. Goombos slowly meander to the side, waiting to hit [[Mario]]. Their similar attack pattern is probably due to the fact that they are smaller cousins of the Goomba (according to an official [[Nintendo Power]] magazine{{refneeded}}). Once [[stomp]]ed or shot with a [[superball]], they awarded Mario with one hundred points. After [[Bombshell Koopa]]s, Goombos are the most common enemy in the game, appearing in all kingdoms with the exception of the [[Easton Kingdom]].


In the ''[[Super Mario Land (manga)|Super Mario Land]]'' manga, Goombos play a marginal role thought out the story. Like normal Goombas in the manga, they are depicted with a taller torso and an occasional pair of tiny arms. Goombos do play a big role in the final chapter: pretending to be in danger, a Goombo asks for shelter at the [[Chai Kingdom]] temple (where Mario currently is), protected from the [[Pionpi]] due to a magic seal. The seal is removed to allow the Goombo to enter, but it quickly grabs it and tosses it to an exploding [[Bombshell Koopa]], letting the Pionpi in and infect the people inside the temple. Another Goombo also plays the part of the priest during [[Tatanga]] and [[Princess Daisy]]'s wedding, whom the groom accidentally kisses (and punches afterwards) after the forced-bride turns around to see Mario arriving in the [[Sky Pop]].
Etymologically, Goombo's Japanese name is a pun comprised of the words ''chibi'', which means "short person" or "dwarf", and ''Kuribō'', the Japanese name for Goombas. While it's not truly understood why, nearly all enemies of the original version of ''Super Mario Land'' (the 3DS Virtual Console version retranslated some names) retain their Japanese names, unlike most of those of the main series.


In ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Goombos appear in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 3|volume 3]] alongside other ''Super Mario Land'' enemies, but are later defeated by [[Invincible Mario]].
Goombos are similar in size to [[Micro Goomba]]s but otherwise behave like regular Goombas.


A Goombo appears in the [[Super Mario Land (WarioWare Gold)|Super Mario Land]] [[microgame]] in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', where it is one of the enemies Mario must throw a Superball at.
