They are very common, appearing in most [[Galaxy|galaxies]], and bear resemblances to [[Goomba]]s and octopuses (particularly their cartoony depiction common in Japanese media), 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. 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]].

| ====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
| | An '''Electrogoomba''' is an [[Enemies|enemy]] who made its first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It is an alien very common in most [[galaxies]], generally seen as an [[octopus]]-like creature. Despite its name, it hardly resembles a [[Goomba]] and their relation with them seems to be rather slim. |

Two new variants are also introduced in the game: [[Elite Octoomba]]s and [[Octoboo]]s.

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.

| |
| 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.

| | They are seen in various parts of the game and headbutt [[Mario]] when he approaches. In some cases, if Mario destroys some, a secret may be unveiled, as seen on several [[Airship|Airships]] in the game, where Mario had to eliminate two of them to make a bridge appear. They can easily be squashed. When jumped on, a [[Coin]] is always left by them. When a Star Spin is used to defeat them, they leave three star bits. |

| | Electrogoombas are set to appear in the upcoming [[Wii]] game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They act exactly as seen in the prequel, except they will also shoot boulders at Mario and are called '''Octoombas'''. New subspecies were introduced as well such as an [[ghost|undead]] variant of them with the ability to float. |

| ==Description== | | == Appearance == |
| 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.

| | Electrogoombas are odd-looking creatures. They have smooth, blue skin with yellow spots, a puckered round mouth (like a [[Snifit]]'s), glowing yellow eyes, and a small antenna on top of their head with a glowing yellow organ at the tip. Unlike a typical [[Goomba]], the have no body. They attack with a headbutt, and only patrol a very small set area. |

| | [[Image:Barrelblooper.jpg|thumb|right|A gray Electrogoomba.]] |
| Electrogoomba.png|Artwork from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' | | One sub-species is a pink color, and is somewhat smarter than the standard one. It attempts to run away from Mario, and will spit rocks at him if he gets too close. Another sub-species of Electrogoomba is gray, and taller and bigger then the other two. It is immobile, but can shoot projectiles at [[Mario]], which include harmless [[coconut]]s that need to be hit back. They make a strange squeaking noise before they shoot. This variety often appears in pre-boss levels and serve as mini-bosses. Gray Electrogoombas only shoot fire, and therefore Mario must use [[shell]]s to destroy them. |
