Although the Goomba King does not physically appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', a character known in the English localization as the '''Chestnut King''' is mentioned as the main antagonist of [[Luigi]]'s tale. In all non-English language versions of the game, this character is referred to as the Goomba King instead.<ref> | Although the Goomba King does not physically appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', a character known in the English localization as the '''Chestnut King''' is mentioned as the main antagonist of [[Luigi]]'s tale. In all non-English language versions of the game, this character is referred to as the Goomba King instead.<ref>https://themushroomkingdom.net/pmttyd_j2e.shtml</ref> Goombas are named 「クリボー」 (''kuribō'', literally "chestnut people") in Japanese, and both the Goomba King and the Chestnut King are referred to as the 「クリキング」 (''kuri kingu'', literally "chestnut king"). This follows the convention of food-related names within the [[List of implied locations#Waffle Kingdom|Waffle Kingdom]]. It is unknown if the Chestnut King and Goomba King are meant to be the same character, as the descriptions of the two characters differ from each other. Despite other translation inconsistancies being fixed in the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], the Chestnut King name is retained, solely in the English translation. | ||
According to Luigi, the Chestnut King is the villain who kidnaps [[List of implied characters#Princess Eclair|Princess Eclair]] from the Waffle Kingdom and brings her to [[List of implied locations#Hatesong Tower|Hatesong Tower]]. Luigi travels to the tower by using the [[List of implied items#Marvelous Compass|Marvelous Compass]]. Once there, Luigi challenges the Chestnut King to a battle. The king eventually loses to Luigi and his [[hammer]]. However, before Luigi can deliver the final blow, Princess Eclair appears and stops him. It turns out that the Chestnut King and the princess are actually lovers, much to Luigi's dismay. The King was transformed into a monster through the magic of [[List of implied characters#Minister Crepe|Minister Crepe]] of the Waffle Kingdom. Eventually, Luigi defeats Crepe, presumably restoring the Chestnut King to his former self. Luigi never directly admits that he was wrong in believing that the Chestnut King was the Princess' captor (although he does admit after a long pause that, though he had won, he ended up beating a shadowy figure shortly afterward), and Mario can only read about it in the [[Super Luigi (series)|Super Luigi book series]]. | According to Luigi, the Chestnut King is the villain who kidnaps [[List of implied characters#Princess Eclair|Princess Eclair]] from the Waffle Kingdom and brings her to [[List of implied locations#Hatesong Tower|Hatesong Tower]].

Goomboss | Goomboss reappears in the third level of the Mission Mode in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', where he appears as a boss, where the player, playing as [[Toad]] must complete three laps of the {{classic-link|GCN|Baby Park}} course before Goomboss does. After each lap, Goomboss becomes bigger and angrier, but he has to stop for a few seconds to grow, giving the player a chance to pass him. Another chance to pass him is when he stops to throw one [[Goomba]] on the first lap; one or three Goombas on the second lap; or one, three, or five Goombas on the third lap. If Toad hits a Goomba, the player will lose one of their three balloons, and if the player loses all three balloons, they will fail the mission, although the player will not lose a balloon if Toad hits Goomboss. Occasionally, Goomboss will throw a [[Mushroom]] instead of a Goomba to fool the player, allowing the player to get a boost of speed. Additionally, on the third lap, Goomboss will cheat by [[Hop (move)|hop]]ping over the center divider, improving his chances of winning. If the player is in front of Goomboss, he will not stop to toss Goombas, but will run faster so he can catch up. | ||
