They look like regular Goombas, being brown vaguely humanoid mushrooms, albeit they are notably smaller in size. Their main purpose is usually to slow down the players or otherwise impede their progress. They first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====

{{multiframe|[[File:SMB3 Micro-Goomba.png]] [[File:MicroGoomba SMB3.png]]|align=right}}

Micro-Goombas, alternatively called '''Mugger Micro-Goombas'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13|page=8|date=June 1990|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition'' instruction booklet|page=27|language=en-us|date=2010|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> to differentiate from [[Pile Driver Micro-Goomba]]s, are enemies in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They are dropped by brown [[Paragoomba|Para-Goomba]]s onto [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], something that they do not do in later games. Micro-Goombas cling onto Mario or Luigi to weaken his [[jump]]ing ability temporarily. When the Micro-Goombas are launched, they will slowly float down to the bottom of the screen. Micro-Goombas can be shaken off by either moving left and right on the {{button|NES|pad}} repeatedly or by jumping repeatedly. Micro-Goombas first appear in [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-2]].

There is a slight change in the outline between the original version's sprites and the ones found in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''; the originals have distinct feet and an additional line of pixels at top through use of an additional 8x8 pixel tile, while later versions have the feet running together and lack the line at the top due to only using a single 8x8 tile.

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====

[[File:Micro-Goomba.png|thumb|200px|A Goombette in ''Super Mario 64'']]

Goombettes are enemies in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]]. They are encountered on the tiny side of [[Tiny-Huge Island]], commonly near [[pit|bottomless pits]] or cliffs. Goombettes are a lot faster and more erratic than regular Goombas and can notice the player character from farther away than Goombas and [[Big Goomba|Grand Goomba]]s. Goombettes cannot directly harm the player character, only pushing them back while defeating the Goombette in the process. Since Goombettes are the weakest enemies, a jump, punch, or a kick can also defeat them, causing the Goombette to drop a [[coin]] in the process.

Mini Goombas are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They are enemies in certain small areas that can be accessed by [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini Mario]] only. A Mini Goomba's weakness to Mini Mario is relative to a Goomba's weakness to Mario in any other form, because Mini Mario can jump onto a Mini Goomba defeats it. Mini Goombas are the weakest enemies otherwise, since they are the only ones that can be defeated by walking into them in all other forms.

 

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====

[[File:SMG_Micro_Goomba.png|thumb|100px|left|Model from ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]

Micro Goombas are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They are slightly larger and appear more closely to [[Goombo]]s from ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. They do not try to attach themselves to Mario or Luigi, unlike before. They act like Goombas in that they run after the player character on sight, though can be defeated instantly from a [[spin]], yielding only a [[coin]]. Stunning a Micro Goomba, either from being hit by a Star Bit or contact with a [[Shock Wave Generator]], and then kicking can also defeat the Micro Goomba, though it drops three [[Star Bit]]s instead.

[[File:NSMBW Mini Goomba Render.png|right|frame]]

Mini Goombas are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They are based on their appearance from ''New Super Mario Bros.'', but with some differences. Mini Goombas do not Mini Mario; however, Mario can do a [[Spin Jump]] to get them off. After being spun once, Mini Goombas are defeated. A Mini Goomba's spoil from a fireball attack is a single [[coin]].

 

Mini Goombas are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are based on their appearance in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. A difference is that a Mini Goomba's spoil from being [[Spin|spun]] is a Star Bit, not a coin, unless it is stomped. [[Magikoopa]]s may spawn Mini Goombas.

Mini Goombas are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They are based on their appearance from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. If Mini Goombas attach themselves to the player, the player can Ground Pound to get rid of them, attack them as [[Raccoon Mario]], or move around for a few seconds until they go away. Mini Goombas appear in gold form in [[World 4-1 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4-1]] and [[World 5-3 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|5-3]].

 

Mini Goombas are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. They are based on their appearances in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''. Mini Goombas appear mainly in the levels [[Magma-River Cruise]] (''New Super Mario Bros. U'') and [[Magmaw River Cruise]] (''New Super Luigi U'') of [[Peach's Castle (world)|Peach's Castle]] in large numbers. They occasionally appear in the battle with [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] in [[Slide Lift Tower]] (''New Super Mario Bros. U'') and [[Stonecrush Tower]] (''New Super Luigi U'').

 

 

 

Mini Goombas are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Their behavior is taken from ''Super Mario 3D World'', though they are colored bright yellow instead. Mini Goombas cannot be [[capture]]d, since throwing [[Cappy]] at one defeats it. Mini Goombas can be found occasionally by breaking [[crate]]s and [[Ground Pound]]ing certain glowing spots on the ground. Jumping on eight Mini Goombas in a row causes a [[Heart (item)|Heart]] to appear, or if 32 are jumped on in a row, a [[Life-Up Heart]] appears, which can be done in the zipper bonus level in the [[Lake Kingdom]] only.

===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===

While Mario is exploring the Mushroom Kingdom in ''[[Double Trouble (book)|Double Trouble]]'', he can encounter a swarm of [[Paragoomba|Para-Goomba]]s, which begin dropping Micro-Goombas on him. If Mario decides to pick the Micro-Goombas off instead of running for cover, the tiny Goombas will knock him out with some noxious gas, though their parents will leave him alone after finding him unappetizing. If Mario makes a run for some pipes instead, he will pick the Micro-Goombas off, and be left alone when the Para-Goombas grow bored of waiting for him to come out.

Mini Goombas, retranslated as '''Goombettes''' in [[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|the original version]], appear as a group of monsters in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. As enemies, they only appear in the battle with [[Whuhoh]] in the [[Sunken Ship]]. Despite their diminutive size, they are stronger than an average Goomba, but barely have any special moves except for [[Poison (move)|Poison]]. Three of them (better known as the [[Triplets]]) also reside in [[Monstro Town]], helping to run their [[Goomhilde|mother]]'s store. The shop sold [[Mushroom]]s that heal 30 HP, but turn the player into a mushroom, possibly referring to the enemy's slowing-down effect in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. However, the party member who ate the mushroom steadily heals his HP as long as the [[Mushroom (status effect)|Mushroom status]] remains. Its [[Thought Peek|thought]] in the original game is a reference to the motto of the twenty-sixth {{wp|president of the United States}}, {{wp|Theodore Roosevelt}}, "Speak softly and carry a big stick. You will go far."

Goombettes are enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They are based on their appearance from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', being dropped by Paragoombas like before and restricting [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s jumping abilities if they make contact. Peach can get rid of Goombettes from either jumping a few times or from her [[Rage]] or [[Joy (vibe)|Joy]] [[vibe]].

===''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''===

[[File:MicroGoombasPartnersinTime.png|thumb|left|Goombettes in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''.]]

Goombettes make up the miniature clones during the [[Mrs. Thwomp]] battle in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''.

A Micro Goomba is mentioned by a [[Shayde|resident]] in [[The Underwhere]], who says that he died because of a Micro Goomba and a [[Pit|bottomless pit]]. A [[Sammer Guy]] named "Micro Boomba" is a reference to this type of Goomba.
