A '''Gritty Goomba''' is, in essence, a [[Goomba]] swathed in cloth with a spike and colored flag protruding from its head and sunglasses over its eyes. A Gritty Goomba is capable of summoning sand storms at will; however, this is the only thing it can do. It will use the cover of sand as a cloak, trying to run into the Mario Bros, who must counter with their [[Hammer]]s

A '''Gritty Goomba''' is a type of [[Goomba]] that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. Gritty Goombas are found in [[Teehee Valley]], occasionally appearing with [[Spiky Snifit]]s. They appear to be swathed in cloth, resembling a mummy, and they don a pair of sunglasses, with a spear and colored flag protruding from their head.


During the events of the game, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] must protect [[Princess Peach]] from these Goombas as she crosses Teehee Valley to get to [[Little Fungitown]]. If they let one get too close, or else leave her offscreen too long, the Gritty Goomba grabs the Princess and carries her down a yellow [[Warp Pipe]] leading to underground ruins, which Mario and Luigi must enter to save Peach. If the player returns to Teehee Valley later in the game, most of the Gritty Goombas are replaced by [[Anuboo]]s, save for the ones in the underground ruins. Additionally, when [[Trunkle]] uses his vacuum breath, Gritty Goombas are one of the things that can be pulled in.
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] had to protect [[Princess Peach]] from these Goombas (along with [[Spiky Snifit|Spiky Snifits]]) as she crossed Teehee Valley to get to [[Little Fungitown]]. If they failed, the Princess would be taken down a [[Warp Pipe]] to one of their underground bases, which the Mario Bros. could infiltrate to save Peach.


A stronger variant, called an [[Elite Gritty Goomba]], can be found in [[Gwarhar Lagoon]].
== Trivia ==


==Battle==
* In the [[The Super Mario Brothers Super Show!]] some [[Mummy Goomba]]s made some appearences. These Mummy Goombas bore some minor resemblance to Gritty Goombas.
Gritty Goombas attack by ramming into the Mario Bros., similar to normal Goombas; however, they will summon sandstorms and use them as a cover in order to obscure which brother they are targeting. The Bros. must counter the attack with their [[Hammer]]s.


In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', Gritty Goombas appear as enemies in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser''. They are melee troopers, and attack by charging into minions. Their [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]] is Rocket Headbutt, which allows them to jump headfirst into a minion. Due to the spear on their heads, attacking them from above damages minions.
* The Gritty Goomba's flag is red in [[Teehee Valley]] and green in [[Gwarhar Lagoon]]. However, this has no effect on their stats.
