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

==History==
===''Yoshi'' series===
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
[[File:SMW2 Goonies art.png|thumb|left|Artwork of Goonies for ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', depicting their original design]]

Goonies are enemies in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its remake]]. They are found in most mountain levels, usually in groups. Some of them carry [[Shy Guy]]s or [[bomb]]s, in the manner of [[Albatoss]]es carrying [[Bob-omb]]s in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Goonies were introduced with several varieties with mostly self-explanatory names, including [[Flightless Goonie]]s, [[Skeleton Goonie]]s, the rolling [[Bowling Goonie]]s, and the flying [[Hefty Goonie]]s.
====''Yoshi's Story''====
[[File:YS Goonies Artwork.png|thumb|Artwork from ''Yoshi's Story'']]
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 found only in Stage 3-3: [[Poochy & Nippy]], sometimes with bombs, though gray Goonies do appear in Stage 5-4: [[Shy Guy's Ship]]. Goonies cannot hurt the Yoshis directly and make a constantly "Aa-ho!" noise, based on their Japanese name.

====''Yoshi Touch & Go''====
Goonies appear with Skeleton Goonies as enemies in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'', during the ground portion, where hitting them with eggs earns Yoshi points.

====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
Goonies return in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', along with Flightless Goonies and Skeleton Goonies. They are mostly the same as in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', though their graphics are modified from their appearance in ''Yoshi Touch & Go''. Goonies appear especially in [[Goonie Heights]] and [[The Goonie Coast Isn't Clear!]] A Hefty Goonie [[List of bosses|boss]] named [[Moltz the Very Goonie]] is the fort boss of World 5.

====''Yoshi's New Island''====
Goonies are enemies in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', as well as their varieties [[Skeleton Goonie]]s, [[Flightless Goonie]]s, [[Flightless Skeleton Goonie]]s, and Hefty Goonies. Many Goonies appear in [[Fine Feathered Friends or Foes?]].

Goonies have an {{wp|amigurumi}} appearance in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and [[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|its port]], matching the game's aesthetic. They are first found in [[Fanciful Fluff and Feathers]]. Goonies can become [[yarn ball]]s if eaten, and Yoshi can stand on a Goonie to rise up. Hitting a Goonie with a yarn ball causes it to lose its wings and become [[Flightless Goonie]]s.

====''Yoshi's Crafted World''====
Goonies return in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', working the same as in previous games of the ''Yoshi'' series, with emphasis on their purpose of being used for transportation. Goonies are first found in [[Windward Way]]. Crafts of Goonies and Flightless Goonie are in [[Pirate Pier]], [[Windward Way]], [[Bombs Away on Pirate Island]], [[Slip-Slide Isle]] and [[Open, Shut!]], and a constellation of a Goonie appears in [[Ride the Stars]].

===''Mario Kart'' series===
Goonies appear rarely in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. The only time they are interacted with is in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', where their name is '''Little Birdies''', <ref>{{cite|author=Stratton, Bryan, and Steve Stratton|date=August 22, 2001|isbn=0-7615-3709-0|title=''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' Prima Official Game Guide|page=37|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us}}</ref> flying away if players get close. Goonies are also background elements of the [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]] track in Wave 4 of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.

===''Nintendo Puzzle Collection''===
