'''Octoombas''', originally referred to as '''Electrogoombas''',<ref>{{cite|author=Black, Fletcher|title=''Super Mario Galaxy'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=41|date=November 9, 2007|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-7615-5643-5}}</ref> are alien [[List of enemies|enemies]] that first appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They are very common, appearing in most [[Galaxy|galaxies]], and bear resemblances to [[Goomba]]s and [[zeldawiki:Octorok|Octorok]]s, both of which contribute to the name.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:Block Climb Planet.png|thumb|left|200px|Electrogoombas in [[Good Egg Galaxy]].]]
Electrogoombas debut in the first selectable mission of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and make very sporadic appearances later in the game. In their unprovoked state, Electrogoombas move back and forth along set paths. If Mario comes near one, it will try to headbutt him with its antenna. Electrogoombas can be defeated by [[spin]]ning them or by jumping on them. Once defeated, they leave behind three [[Star Bit]]s (if they were spun) or a [[coin]] (if they were jumped on). There is also a timid, rock-spitting variant of them called [[Octoguy]] which is more common later in the game, and a large relative called [[Rocto]].

Two new variants are also introduced in the game: [[Elite Octoomba]]s and [[Octoboo]]s. They are much more common than in the first game, though their variants still tend to appear more often later in the game.

Octoombas<ref>{{cite|author=Musa, Alexander, and Geson Hatchett|title=''Super Mario 3D World'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=26|date=November 22, 2013|publisher=Prima Games|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-804-16249-4}}</ref> return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' as enemies in bonus world stages, such as [[Super Galaxy]], [[Gigantic Seasick Wreck]], and [[Champion's Road]]. Octoombas are the last enemies to be introduced in the game. Their attack pattern has changed once again - they now spit three cannonballs (although they can be jumped on) in a straight line instead of a single rock. Octoombas are also much stronger than in the previous games, as they are resilient to almost every attack (including Rosalina's [[Spin]] attack). They can only be defeated with a [[Ground Pound]]. Octoombas are now stationary, and only rotate in position, instead of moving back and forth.

===''Dr. Mario World''===
Octoombas appear in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as assistants. They also appear in the background of [[World 8 (Dr. Mario World)|World 8]] when an area has been cleared. In stage mode, its effect is to fill the skill meter by half of the doctor's full gauge on stage start. In versus mode, its effect is to reduce the time before the stage starts shrinking the playing field by a percentage, which can stack with [[Scuttlebug]]'s versus effect to further reduce the time.

|description=''This class of Goomba, the long time Mario enemy, is adapted for space. These alien Goombas are found in many areas of the game and attack Mario by trying to headbutt him when he comes near. They can easily be destroyed by jumping on their heads. Electrogoombas are amphibious and have brown, red, and blue subspecies.''

===''Dr. Mario World''===
*'''Stage mode:''' "''Grants 10%/20%/30%/40%/50% chance of half-full skill meter on stage start.''"
*'''Versus mode:''' "''Decreases time until your and your opponent's stages begin to shrink by 10%/20%/30%/40%/50%.''"

==Description==
Octoombas have a similar physique to Goombas. Their bodies are blue with several yellow spots, and they have small snout-like mouths which they use to spit rocks. Octoombas have antennae on their heads, and three rounded feet. They use these feet to hop from side to side to move. They have sunken glowing eyes and their brows are set in a scowl. When charging up their attacks, Octoombas will glow orange.
