'''Goro'''<ref>''Wario's Woods'' NES instruction booklet, page 15.</ref> is the fourth boss that [[Toad]] faces in Game B of Round Mode in the [[Wario's Woods (Nintendo Entertainment System)|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 appears in the thirty-ninth round and has twelve [[hit points]]. His special move is a mighty stomp that brings the [[Thwomp]] on the top of the tree hollow battlefield down a few notches. He is also able to re-locate himself to any part of the battlefield through some means of teleportation and throw enemies around the field. If he re-materializes on Toad, he will instantly defeat him.

===''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 [[Kinopio-kun (KC Mario)|Kinopio-kun]]. 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.
