'''Paper-Cone Goombas''' ('''Paper Cone Goombas''' in the British English version) are enemies that debut in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. They are a species of [[Goomba]] which are first fought in World 1-1, [[Warm Fuzzy Plains]]. They appear as regular Goombas during exploration, and do not reveal their true form until a battle is initiated.

Using sticker power, these Goombas can fold themselves into a conical shape, giving them a sharp corner that acts like a spike. Unlike with regular Goombas, Jump-based [[sticker]]s (with the exception of [[Iron Jump]]s) have no effect on Paper-Cone Goombas, and the player must use [[Hammer]]-based or other non-Jump stickers.

A trio of Goombas which are previously fought in [[Decalburg]] appear at the very end of [[Warm Fuzzy Plains]] and attempt to stop Mario from getting the [[Comet Piece]]. After they come out of hiding, or if Mario approaches their hiding spot, these Goombas initiate battle, and transform into Paper-Cone Goombas. If Mario flees the battle, they guard the Comet Piece. After they are defeated, the Goombas run off, allowing Mario to get the nearby Comet Piece.

[[Megasparkle Goomba]] in his giant form can turn into a Paper-Cone Goomba, though he only does so as a defensive move, unfolding afterwards and rolling into Mario instead.

Paper-Cone Goombas reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', behaving the same way as they did before. They are now located in [[Kiwano Temple]].
