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]]''.

Micro-Goombas 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. Micro-Goombas 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. Micro-Goombas cannot directly harm the player character, only pushing them back while defeating the Micro-Goomba in the process. Since Micro-Goombas are the weakest enemies, a jump, punch, or a kick can also defeat them, causing the Micro-Goombas to drop a [[coin]] in the process.

Mini Goombas, referred to 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."

Micro-Goombas 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 Micro-Goombas from either jumping a few times or from her [[Rage]] or [[Joy (vibe)|Joy]] [[vibe]].

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