When they are on the ground, they place their parasols in front of them as they are walking, which allows them to hurt Wario from the front, similar to [[Spearhead (enemy)|Spearhead]]s. At times, they may stop to change the position of their parasols, pointing it above their heads if they pointed in front of them, and vice-versa. If they are immobilized and get back up to their feet, they will leap in the air and float down, with their parasols hanging above them. In cases where the parasol is pointed upwards, Wario will get hurt if he [[jump]]s on them, but they will also be stunned. When they turn from a ledge, their parasols do not hurt Wario, even though they are pointed above and Wario jumps on them. | ||
Additionally, Para-Gooms appear in the Golf minigame, where they are makeshift golf balls for Wario to tackle to sink into the hole. When a Para-Goom drops down after one has fallen in water or lava, the parasol is white and red. | Additionally, Para-Gooms appear in the Golf minigame, where they are makeshift golf balls for Wario to tackle to sink into the hole.

The colors of the parasol change depending on the stage, appearing as any of the [[treasure chest]] colors, as well as the pink-and-blue palette that appears on the selections in the Pause Menu and in the first switch room of the Green Chest area of [[A Town in Chaos]]. | |||
