Editing Goomboss Battle

'''Goomboss Battle''' is an additional course in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. The course is accessed through the Mario [[painting]] in the room behind the [[Rec Room (Super Mario 64 DS)|Rec Room]], which can be unlocked by having eight [[Power Star]]s. Defeating [[Goomboss]] at the end of the course grants the player [[Mario's Key]], which is needed to rescue [[Mario]].

The course is made up of several [[platform]]s situated over a [[smoke|strange toxic cloud]] and a large [[pit|abyss]]. The platforms are either stationary, tilting, or rising platforms. Several [[Goomba]]s are also seen moving around on the platforms, and [[Piranha Plant]]s are found sleeping in certain areas. The player starts on a tall platform with a ramp the player can [[slide]] down. In the center of the stage is a [[Chain-Link|mesh grate]] the player can hang and swing from. Also in the center of the course is a [[block (Super Mario 64)|Brick]] that contains a [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]]. In the southern portion is a long platform that ends in a tall wall only Mario can [[Wall Jump|wall-kick]] up. To the east is a tall platform with several tilting platforms leading to a [[Cap Block|red block]] to the north of it. The northwestern segment of the course has a pole with a [[Lakitu]] circling it that the player can climb up to reach the bridge that leads to Goomboss. On the bridge are several Goombas, and a [[Spinning Heart]] and Piranha Plant are placed just before the entrance to Goomboss.

When the player falls down the hole at the end of the bridge, they are brought to a circular arena where they have to fight Goomboss. In the optional battle, where [[Yoshi]] is the playable character, Goomboss creates a row of Goombas behind him. Yoshi must circle around Goomboss, eat a Goomba, and then turn it into an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]. After creating an egg, Yoshi has to [[Egg Throw|throw it]] at Goomboss by using {{button|DS|B}}. With every hit, Goomboss grows, turns around, and spawns more Goombas behind him. After Yoshi hits Goomboss a total of three times, he is defeated.

In optional rematches as Mario, [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]], Goomboss creates a row of Goombas in front of him. The player has to [[punch]] the Goombas into Goomboss in order to attack him. With every hit, Goomboss grows and creates more Goombas. After the player attacks him for the second time, Goomboss creates more Goombas both in front of and behind him. Punching one more Goomba at Goomboss defeats him. The player can also [[kick]] Goomboss's face or back to obtain a mushroom, which can be used to defeat many Goombas and easily punch or kick him.

===8 Red Coins===

Scattered throughout Goomboss Battle are eight [[Red Coin]]s, though in order to collect them all, the player needs to have Mario and Luigi unlocked along with the [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]]. (Wario is not technically needed since the [[Block (Super Mario 64)|Black Brick]] hiding one of the Red Coins can be broken by any playable character with a mushroom.) The locations of the Red Coins are:

*On the single platform to the west, under the Black Brick. In order to collect this coin, either Wario or a mushroom must be used.

*Above a tilting platform on the east side of the course.  

*Inside a cage within the tall platform to the east. Luigi's Power Flower ability is needed to collect this coin.

*Near the [[Star Marker]] on the east side of the course, at the end of the rising platforms.

As Mario, the player needs to make it to the long platform to the east of the starting area. On the platform is a [[Star Switch]], and pressing it causes the Power Star to appear in the [[Star Sphere]] at the top of the wire shaft. Mario needs to wall-kick up to the top and collect the Power Star before the Star Switch's timer runs out.
