'''Octoombas''',<ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 28.</ref><ref>Musa, Alexander, and Geson Hatchett. ''Super Mario 3D World'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 26.</ref> originally referred to as '''Electrogoombas''',<ref>Black, Fletcher. ''Super Mario Galaxy'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 41.</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.

Electrogoombas debut in the first mission of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and reappear as common enemies in many subsequent galaxies. If Mario comes near one, it will try to headbutt him with its antenna. They 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 reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' under their current name. They attack Mario by spitting rocks at him, just like [[Octoguy]]s. Two new variants are also introduced in the game: [[Elite Octoomba]]s and [[Octoboo]]s.

Octoombas 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.

*'''Trading Card 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.''"
