| '''Goro'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Wario's Woods'' NES instruction booklet|page=15|date=1994|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> is the fourth boss that [[Toad]] faces in Game B of Round Mode in the [[Wario's Woods (Nintendo Entertainment System)|Famicom/NES version of ''Wario's Woods'']]. He is a gorilla-like {{wp|golem}} made out of an unknown rocky material.

| ==History==
| |
| ===''Wario's Woods''===
| |
| Goro is fought in the 39th round and has 12 HP. He can do a mighty stomp that brings the [[Thwomp]] down a few notches. Goro can throw enemies around the field and teleport. If Goro teleports on Toad, the latter becomes defeated instantly. | |
| | |
| ===''Super Mario'' (KC Deluxe)===
| |
| Goro appears in one chapter of the [[Super Mario: Wario no Mori|''Wario's Woods'' adaptation]] in the [[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|''Super Mario'' Kodansha manga]]. He is summoned by [[Seizer]] in his first attempt of stopping [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Birdo]], [[Wanda]], and the [[Toad villager]]. At first, the heroes throw [[bomb]]s at him, but he does not flinch, so Mario uses Birdo's snout to make a makeshift cannon by making her gulp bombs and then spit them out repeatedly at the golem's torso, exploding it and defeating him, much to Seizer's shock.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Mario-kun''===
| |
| Goro is faced in chapter 15 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' [[Super Mario-kun Volume 11|volume 11]]. He is the god of Wanda's village, [[Gōra no Mura|named after himself]], where the fairies have a statue of him. Wario arrives to check on the heroes and curses the statue to attack them. While alive, Goro only speaks by grunting his name and is impervious to any of the attacks, including the bombs, so Wanda suggests using the [[diamond]]s they collected by defeating numerous monsters, but [[Yoshi]] eats them. Furious, Mario makes a projectile of the diamond-filled Yoshi, using Birdo as a bazooka, to launch him against Goro, blowing him up into pieces and forcing Wario to retreat. Without Wario's influence, the village is back to its natural state and Goro goes to sleep happily. Toad then proposes rebuilding his body, but the final result ends up with him having an arm and a leg coming out from the head and the torso not being placed.
