'''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 octopuses (particularly their cartoony depiction common in Japanese media), both of which contribute to the name. Octoombas have a blue body with sunken glowing eyes, scowling eyebrows, and several yellow spots. They have a snout-like mouth from which they spit rocks. Octoombas also sport an antenna on their head and use their three rounded feet to hop left and right. Octoombas glow orange while charging an attack.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:Block Climb Planet.png|thumb|left|200px|Electrogoombas in [[Good Egg Galaxy]].]]
Electrogoombas are first seen in the first selectable [[mission]] of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and appear sporadically later on. Electrogoombas move back and forth along set paths, but when approached, they try to to headbutt [[Mario]]. Electrogoombas can be defeated from a [[spin]], causing it to release three [[Star Bit]]s, or from a [[stomp]], making it drop a [[coin]] instead.<ref>{{cite|author=Black, Fletcher|title=''Super Mario Galaxy: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|format=Collector's Edition|location=Roseville|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|date=November 9, 2007|page=41|isbn=978-0-7615-5713-5|quote=Jump on the enemy [Electrogoomba] to pick up another coin[...]}}</ref> Electrogoombas have a more common rock-spitting variant named [[Octoguy]] as well as a large relative, [[Rocto]].

Octoombas are the last enemies introduced, and they are encountered in bonus world stages such as [[Super Galaxy]], [[Gigantic Seasick Wreck]], and [[Champion's Road]]. Octoombas remain in one position and only move by rotating. They are stronger, not only by spitting three cannonballs in a straight line to attack, but also being unaffected by most attacks except a [[Ground Pound]], which is the only method to defeat them.

===''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.

|''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.''
