Editing Goomboss

While Mario battles the Goomba King and the Red & Blue Goomba Bros., [[Kammy Koopa]] is secretly observing the battle. She reports back to Bowser, who is furious at the Goomba King's defeat and also yells "I used the Star Rod to make him a king because he begged me..."

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>{{cite|url=themushroomkingdom.net/pmttyd_j2e.shtml|title=Mario in Japan {{!}} Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|publisher=The Mushroom Kingdom|language=en|accessdate=June 30, 2024}}</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; however, the idea of Luigi going on a quest to defeat the previous game's prologue boss may have been intended as a joke playing off Luigi's depiction in the game as something of a wimp, loser, or klutz. Despite other translation inconsistencies being fixed in the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], the Chestnut King is still referred to as such in the English localization.

Goomboss is the boss of the third level of the Missions mode in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. The player character, [[Toad]], races against Goomboss in three laps of the {{classic-link|GCN|Baby Park}}. 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. On the second lap, Goomboss will rarely run around in a circle once. If Toad hits a Goomba, the player will lose one of their three balloons, and if the player does not reach the goal in time, they lose all three balloons and 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 hopping 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.
