'''Octoombas''' (called '''Electrogoombas''' in [[Prima Games|Prima]]'s Official Guide and the [[Super Mario Galaxy Trading Cards|''Super Mario Galaxy'' Trading Cards]] and also known as '''Octogoombas'''{{refneeded}}) are [[enemies]] that appear in many 3D Mario titles. They are very common aliens in most [[galaxies]], and bear resemblances to [[Goomba]]s and [[Octopus (Super Mario Galaxy)|Octopus]], both of which contribute to the name. They will give a warning by turning red, and moving their head back.

[[File:Block Climb Planet.png|thumb|left|200px|Electrogoombas in [[Good Egg Galaxy]].]]
Electrogoombas debut in the first mission of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and reappear as common enemies in many subsequent galaxies. 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]], and a large relative called [[Rocto]].

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.

Octoombas first appear in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', in the first mission of the game. They reappear as common enemies in many galaxies after that. If Mario comes near one, it will headbutt him with its antennae. They can be defeated by [[Spin|spinning]] 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 are also two sub-species of them called [[Octoguy]]s and [[Octopus (Super Mario Galaxy)|Octopi]].

|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.''

*'''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==
===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
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.
Octoombas re-appear in the sequel to ''Super Mario Galaxy'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Unlike in the first game, they won't headbutt Mario, but rather, they will spit rocks at Mario. Their name is revealed to be Octoombas by a [[Luma (species)|Luma]] who guides Mario through a large planet. Two new sub-species are also introduced: [[Elite Octoomba]]s and [[Octoboo]]s.

Octoombas re-appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' as enemies in bonus world stages, first appearing in World Star-2, [[Super Galaxy]], as common enemies. 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; thus they act similarly to Elite Octoombas. Octoombas are also much stronger than in the Galaxy games, as they are resilient to almost every attack (including Rosalina's [[Spin]] attack). They can, however, be defeated with a [[Ground Pound]]. They appear only in Super Galaxy, [[Gigantic Seasick Wreck]], and [[Champion's Road]].

Octoombas are alien-like Goombas. Their body style is exactly like that of a Goomba except for the antenna on top of their head. They have smooth, blue skin with yellow spots, a puckered round mouth and glowing yellow eyes. They attack with a headbutt or by spitting rocks, and only patrol a very small set area.
