'''Goonies''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. They are white birds that appear most prominently within the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]]. They are likely based on the {{wp|snowy albatross}}, which is also called a "goonie" or "gooney bird", although they have been described as "{{wp|Gull|seagulls}}".<ref>{{cite|quote=I think those are seagulls back there.

Goonies are enemies in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its remake]]. They appear in most mountain [[level]]s and are always found in groups. There are many different varieties of Goonies. There are [[Flightless Goonie]]s which, as the name implies, are Goonies that cannot fly and run on the ground. There is a [[Dry Bones]]-like variety of Goonie, known as the [[Skeleton Goonie]], which usually carries bombs. [[Bowling Goonie]]s are fat Goonies that roll along the ground. [[Hefty Goonie]]s are the flying versions of Bowling Goonies, and if Yoshi swallowed one of these and spat it out, it would turn into their flightless counterparts. Additionally, Goonies can be seen flying in the background in some levels (as seen in the image on the right).

Goonies are enemies in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', along with their [[Flightless Goonie|flightless]] and [[Skeleton Goonie|skeletal counterpart]]s. This game has two levels named after Goonies: [[Goonie Heights]] and [[The Goonie Coast Isn't Clear!]] A Hefty Goonie [[List of bosses|boss]] named [[Moltz the Very Goonie]] also appears as the fort boss of World 5. Also after [[The Fort of Moltz the Very Goonie]] is completed, all the later levels will have Skeleton Goonies. Goonies and Flightless Goonies use sprites edited from their ''Yoshi Touch & Go'' appearance, while Skeleton Goonies use ones edited from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', resulting in Skeleton Goonies being noticeably smaller than normal Goonies.

====''Yoshi's New Island''====

Goonies are enemies in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. They act exactly as they did in past games. [[Skeleton Goonie]]s, [[Flightless Goonie]]s, [[Flightless Skeleton Goonie]]s and Hefty Goonies also return. They prevail in the level, [[Fine Feathered Friends or Foes?]].

===''Tetris Attack''===

A Goonie is allied with [[Lakitu]] in ''[[Tetris Attack]]''.

Goonies (also known as '''Bomber Birds'''<ref>{{cite|quote='''BOMBER BIRDS''' Flocks of these birds fly through several of the Pages of ''Yoshi's Story'', offering free rides or headaches to the unobservant.

They are only encountered in Stage 3-3: [[Poochy & Nippy]]. Some of the Goonies carry bombs. Gray Goonies also appear in Stage 5-4: [[Shy Guy's Ship]]. They cannot hurt the Yoshis directly in this game and constantly make an "Aa-ho!" noise, based on their Japanese name.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===

Goonies appear in the background of two recurring ''Yoshi'' stages in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series: [[Super Happy Tree (stage)|Super Happy Tree]], which debuted in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', and [[Yoshi's Island (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Yoshi's Island]], which debuted in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Goonies also appear as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Sticker]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.

Goonies are an interactable species in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]''. They appear in the Modern version of ''[[Turtle Bridge]]'', being used for relaying packages between [[Toad]] and [[Mario]], and some of the Goonies dive at passing balloons.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', during the cutscene where Mario rides the [[Whale (character)|Whale]] to [[Lavalava Island]], a Goonie can be seen flying over the ocean. Unlike most characters in ''Paper Mario'' (one of the few other exceptions being the Whale himself), this Goonie is three-dimensional. This is the only scene where a Goonie is found.
