Just before the battle starts, Mega Goomba is first shown to be a regular [[Goomba]], and it walks onscreen before transforming into the Mega Goomba. While growing, Mega Goomba makes a sound similar to touching a [[Mega Mushroom]].


To defeat the Mega Goomba, [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) can either activate a [[? Switch]], causing two [[platform]]s to appear that elevate when Mario stands on them, or [[Wall Jump]] off the side wall when the Goomba comes close. Either way, Mario has to [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]] the Mega Goomba afterwards to damage it. Alternatively, [[Mega Mario]], [[Shell Mario]]'s [[Shell Dash]] technique, or [[Fire Mario]]'s [[fireball]]s can also damage Mega Goomba. If the Mega Goomba approaches Mario on the far left or right side, it does not hurt him due to its mushroom-sized hitbox. It takes three ground-pounds to defeat the Mega Goomba, or nine if Mario is in his [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini form]]. When Mega Goomba is defeated, the [[key]] to [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]] is released.
Before the batte, a regular [[Goomba]] gains access to a [[Mega Mushroom]] and becomes Mega Goomba. [[Mario]] must defeat this boss to acquire the key that provides access to World 5.


In the [[list of New Super Mario Bros. pre-release and unused content|very first footage]] of ''New Super Mario Bros.'', the Mega Goomba was a normal Goomba until it came into contact with a mushroom. A similar concept was later used for the [[Mega Koopa]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.
To defeat Mega Goomba, Mario must activate a switch, causing two platforms to appear. When Mario stands on the platform, it will elevate in the air. From there, Mario can either [[Wall Jump]], or [[Jump]] directly on top of the Mega Goomba. For the attack to be successful, Mario must [[Ground Pound]] the Goomba (unless he is Mega Mario).


In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Mega Goomba is mentioned in the [[Mega Goomba|Giant Goomba]]'s [[trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] description.
Once Mario hits the Mega Goomba three times, the Goomba will die, and Mario can get the key to World 5.

==Names in other languages==
This Goomba originated in the very first previews of New SMB or as it was called back then, Super Mario Bros. DS in which it was a normal level enemy goomba until it was caught in contact with a [[Super Mushroom]] which made him the same size as he was in the current game. This new and innovative feature was taken out for unknown reasons. Possibly due to the game being extremely hard if certain enemies turned mega.
