In all of their appearances, they attack by shooting heavy [[cannonball]]s that fall to the ground and explode after a few seconds. Their name is presumably a portmanteau of "kaboom" and "[[Goomba]]", despite Kaboombas having no relation to Goombas other than being walking enemies.

 

Kaboombas and an unused big variant were originally designed during the development of ''[[Super Mario World]]'',<ref>Frieze (July 24, 2020).
