| | An '''Octoomba''', once called '''Electrogoomba''' in Prima's Official Guide and the [[Super Mario Galaxy Trading Cards]], is an [[Enemies|enemy]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It is an alien very common in most [[galaxies]], and bears a slight resemblance to [[Goomba]]s and [[octopus|octopi]], both of which contribute to its name. |

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. | | |

| | Octoombas first appeared in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. They are seen in many galaxies of the game. If Mario comes near, they will headbutt him with their antennae. This attack will knock down him, which can also make him to fall into a bottomless pit. Once they are defeated, they each leave behind three [[Star Bit]]s or a [[coin]] if they are [[Spinning|spun]] or jumped on, respectively. There are also sub-species of them called [[Octoguy]]s and [[Octopus (Super Mario Galaxy)|Octopuses]]. |

| |
| 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.

| |
| 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.

| ===''Super Mario Galaxy''=== | | Octoombas re-appear in the sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Unlike in the prequel, they won't headbutt Mario, but rather, they will spit rocks at Mario. Their name is finally revealed to be Octoombas. New sub-species were also introduced such as [[Elite Octoomba]]s and [[Octoboo]]s. |

| |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.''

| | Octoombas are odd-looking creatures. They have smooth, blue skin with yellow spots, a puckered round mouth, glowing yellow eyes, and a small antenna on top of their head with a glowing yellow organ at the tip. They attack with a headbutt or by spitting rocks, and only patrol a very small set area. |

|
| ==Description== | | ==Sub-Species== |
| 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.

| | A pink sub-species is known as an [[Octoguy]], and is somewhat smarter than the standard one. It attempts to run away from Mario if he gets too close and will spit rocks at him once at range. |

| | Another sub-species of Octoomba is gray, and taller and bigger then the other two, called an [[Octopus (Super Mario Galaxy)|Octopus]]. It is immobile, but can shoot projectiles at [[Mario]]. Some Octopuses shoot either coconuts or fireballs, and others only shoot fireballs, similar to [[Birdo]] in her ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' appearance. |
