They are [[Goomba]]s with small wings protruding from either their heads or their torsos. Just like [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s, they jump up and down and shed their wings and change into their regular form upon being [[stomp]]ed on the head.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:Paragoomba SMB3 art.png|thumb|150px|left|Artwork from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' showing a Paragoomba's original depiction]]
Para-Goombas are enemies in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They appear in two types: Red Para-Goombas attack by following Mario and hopping low along the ground, with a larger jump every third hop, while brown ones attack by flying in the sky and dropping [[Mini Goomba|Micro-Goomba]]s. The first red Para-Goomba is encountered in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-1]], and the first brown one in [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-2]].

====''Super Mario World''====
{{multiframe|[[File:SMW Para-Goomba Sprite.gif]] [[File:SMW Flying Goomba Sprite.gif]]|align=right}}
Ordinary Para-Goombas do not appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]''; however, the localization team at the time gave the name to a similar but different species (''Kuribon'', later called [[Galoomba]]). As such, there are two equivalents of Para-Goombas in name and function: [[Parachute Galoomba|Para-Goomba]]s (''Para Kuri'' in Japan) utilize parachutes, and [[Paragaloomba|Flying Goomba]]s (''Pata Kuri'' in Japan) have wings.

====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====
Para-Goombas are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. They act like the red type in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', but their artwork depicts them as being brown. The Para-Goombas in [[Secret Course 4]] fly around instead.
{{br|left}}
====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:NSMB1.png|thumb|Screenshot from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' of the only two Paragoombas]]
Paragoombas are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Only two are encountered, both in [[World 2-4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-4]]. They are brown but are behaviorally more similar to the red type in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'': When Mario jumps over them, they turn behind and follow him. One stomp turns Paragoombas into regular [[Goomba]]s, two stomps defeat them, and a [[Ground Pound]] takes them out instantly.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:NSMBW Paragoomba Render.png|frame|left]]
Paragoombas are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They act just like they do in its predecessor, but they are more common. They only appear in [[World 7-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-5]] and [[World 8-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-2]]. Like other enemies, Paragoombas can now be defeated with a [[Spin Jump]], which does the same effect as a ground pound; it takes out a Paragoomba instantly.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:Paragoomba Bonus Planet SMG2.png|200px|thumb|left|Paragoombas on a Bonus Planet in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'']]
Paragoombas are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Instead of hopping on the ground, Paragoombas can actually fly up and down or side to side. This is the first time that Paragoombas appear in a 3D ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' platformer game. There is also a [[Big Paragoomba|giant form]] of Paragoombas in [[Supermassive Galaxy]]. If Mario jumps on them, they get flattened and disappear, instead of becoming a regular Goomba; the latter only happens if they are hit with a [[spin]] or Star Bit, or licked by [[Yoshi]]. They are one of the few enemies that did not appear previously in [[Super Mario Galaxy|the predecessor]].
{{br|left}}

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
Paragoombas reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' where they have the same behavior as in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', and, as such, can be defeated with a single stomp.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Paragoombas are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They maintain their behavior from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. The effects of a [[Gold Ring]] turn Paragoombas into [[Gold Paragoomba|gold versions of themselves]], which can produce coins when hit.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
Paragoombas are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They act in the same manner as before. They appear in [[Seesaw Shrooms (level)|Seesaw Shrooms]] only.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Paragoombas are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its 3DS port]], and [[Super Mario Maker 2|its sequel]] if a player puts [[wings]] on an ordinary [[Goomba]]. It behaves like the red Paragoombas from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', as it follows Mario in an attempt to hurt him. When a Paragoomba is at the base of an enemy tower, it can make the whole tower hop, no matter how tall it is. A Paragoomba becomes a [[Big Paragoomba]] when given a Super Mushroom.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:Paragoomba Icon SMO.png|thumb|left|A Paragoomba in ''Super Mario Odyssey'']]
Paragoombas are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They are found in the [[Cap Kingdom]] (except for when Mario first arrives) and a secret area in the [[Wooded Kingdom]], and can be [[capture]]d by [[Mario]] with [[Cappy]]. They retain the flying left to right or in a circle behaviors, but are usually seen alone rather than in groups. Even in groups, the maximum number seen in the same circle is just two, and this only occurs in the Wooded Kingdom. The Paragoombas in the Cap Kingdom wear black top hats that Mario must knock off with a [[Cap Throw]] before he can capture them. Once captured, Mario can fly by pressing the {{button|switch|B}} button, and shaking the [[Nintendo Switch#Joy-Con|Joy-Con]] allows him to fly faster. Vertically, he can only fly up to just short of two [[crate]]s from the highest platform he has stood on. The maximum achievable height is remembered if Mario releases the Paragoomba then recaptures it. Horizontally, he can fly all the way to the level boundaries.

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
[[File:CartoonParagoomba.jpg|thumb|Four Para-Goombas from the ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Mind Your Mummy Mommy, Mario]]".]]
Para-Goombas appear in many episodes of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', such as "[[True Colors]]" and "[[Super Koopa (episode)|Super Koopa]]", which feature them as underlings of [[Bowser|King Bowser Koopa]], as well as the [[Koopalings]].

===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
As Mario explores the Mushroom Kingdom in ''[[Double Trouble (book)|Double Trouble]]'', he can encounter a swarm of Para-Goombas, which begin dropping Micro-Goombas on him. If Mario decides to try and pick the Micro-Goombas off instead of immediately running for cover, he is overwhelmed, but ultimately left alone when the Para-Goombas find him unappetizing. If Mario runs for cover in some pipes, he picks the Micro-Goombas off, and waits until the Para-Goombas get bored waiting for him to come out and leave.

===''Yoshi's Safari''===
Flying Goombas are enemies in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]''. They attack Mario and [[Yoshi]] by charging into them, inflicting a minimal amount of damage. A Flying Goomba can be defeated from one hit from the [[Super Scope]].

===''Super Mario'' Kodansha manga===
In the second ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'' volume of the ''[[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Super Mario]]'' Kodansha manga, a Paragoomba alongside other enemies (now depicted with halos) are accidentally killed by Mario and his friends when they are trying to outrun a Chargin' Chuck. The souls of the enemies are absorbed into the Big Boo.

===''Hotel Mario''===
[[File:HM Flying Goomba.png|thumb|left]]
In ''[[Hotel Mario]]'', Para-Goombas are again known as Flying Goombas. They aimlessly attempt to fly on the floors of [[Lemmy's High-ate Regency Hotel]]. However, some Flying Goombas have [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]] avengers that come at Mario if he stomps the Goomba. They have a tougher variation called the [[Rhinestone Goomba]].
{{br}}

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
Though absent from games for some time, Paragoombas make a reappearance in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. They are enemies encountered early in the game, on [[Goomba Road]]. In ''Paper Mario'', Paragoombas attack by swooping downward. They can only be damaged by being jumped on or by having an item used against them. When Mario jumps on them, they lose their wings and become regular Goombas. In all, they are almost exactly the same as normal Goombas.

Two new versions of the Paragoomba are introduced: a gloomy blue one called [[Paragloomba]], and a hyperactive green one called [[Hyper Paragoomba]].

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
{{quote|Wassup, [[Goombella|baby]]? Why don't you hang with us for a while? We play real nice!|Paragoomba|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door}}
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Paragoombas appear as enemies in several locations, such as [[Rogueport Underground]], [[Petal Meadows]], and [[Hooktail Castle]]. Just as in ''Paper Mario'', Paragoombas are immune to grounded attacks, such as Koops' [[Shell Toss]] and [[Bobbery]]'s [[Bomb (Paper Mario series)|Bomb]]. They cannot be targeted with the hammer, with the exception of [[Hammer Throw (badge)|Hammer Throw]].

After Bowser enters [[Poshley Sanctum]], he finds the replica [[Garnet Star]], breaking it in surprise after [[Pennington]] tells him it is fake. A Paragoomba comes in through the window and tells Bowser that Mario has collected all of the [[Crystal Star]]s and can now open [[the Thousand-Year Door]], and Bowser leaves in an attempt to get there before Mario.
{{br|right}}

====''Super Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Paragoombas appear as basic enemies in [[Lineland]], [[Gloam Valley]], and [[The Bitlands]]. They can be defeated by such attacks as being jumped on, or by being attacked by a [[Pixl]]. Jumping on a Paragoomba causes it to automatically lose its wings. They appear in the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]] in rooms 12 and 26.
{{br|left}}

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
{{quote|You say you want to help [[Traveling Toad|this Toad]]? That's so NICE of [[Mario|you]]. You're just nice. Must be why you're so popular.|Paragoomba|Paper Mario: Sticker Star}}
Paragoombas reappear in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] game ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', with a slightly different design more closely resembling that of the Paragoombas in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They appear in [[World 1 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 1]]'s last level [[Goomba Fortress]], and appear commonly in [[World 2 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 2]]. They have more HP and attack than their previous iterations. They still are not very powerful, but they can come in groups of two or three and aid [[Spiny|Spinies]], [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]]s, [[Spike]]s, [[Pokey]]s and [[Swoop]]s for extra help. Two new sub-species, the [[5-Fold Paragoomba]] and [[Shiny Paragoomba]], were also introduced. Their only method of attack is jumping on Mario. Paragoombas try to trick the player because if the player uses a hammer type sticker (except the Hurlhammer sticker), Paragoombas jump up in the air, meaning Mario's attack has been dodged. Paragoombas can be beaten with a hammer first strike without engaging in combat with them once Mario has 40 HP, and jump first strikes also work once Mario has 50 HP.

[[Shiny Paragoomba]]s, [[Ninji]]s and the [[Wiggler Segment]]s are the other enemies that can dodge Mario's attacks.
{{br}}

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
{{quote|Behold—the power of Paragoomba!|Paragoomba|Paper Mario: Color Splash}}
[[File:PMCS Paragoomba.png|120px|thumb|left|A Paragoomba from ''Paper Mario: Color Splash''.]]
Paragoombas reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. They have the same appearance and behavior as they do in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''. They can appear in battle after being called in by a [[Whistle Snifit]]. A Paragoomba Card also appears in the [[Sacred Forest]].
{{br}}

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
[[File:OrigamiParagoomba.jpg|thumb|100px|An origami Paragoomba]]
Paragoombas reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', encountered in [[Overlook Mountain]], [[Overlook Tower]], [[Autumn Mountain]], and [[Club Island]]. They, like many of the Koopa Troop, are transformed into [[Folded Soldiers]] by [[King Olly]]. In battle, Paragoombas have 15 HP and attack with Flyin' Headbonk with each flying into Mario, or Foe Throw with one dropping another enemy on Mario, which instantly defeats the enemy dropped. If they are not defeated from jumping, they lose their wings and behave like normal Goombas. Unlike in previous ''Paper Mario'' games, hammer attacks are effective against them.
{{br}}
===''Mario Party'' series===
{{Rewrite-expand|section=y|reason=Describe their roles in the minigames}}
In the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], Paragoombas make their technical debut in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', as a machine based on one is used by the team in [[Quilt for Speed]]. Their first physical appearance in the series is ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', where on the title screen, two are seen flying by while holding a [[Star Carnival]] banner in their mouths, and Paragoombas also appear in [[Test for the Best]] when the player accumulates 1,000 points. In ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', a Paragoomba can be seen on the [[Star-Crossed Skyway]] board alongside [[Flutter]] and a [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]] on the first, second, and fourth Star Stages, where the Paragoomba hands out five [[Mini Star]]s to whoever reaches it. Paragoombas also appear in the minigame [[Sky'd and Seek]], where Paragoombas and Paratroopas need to be counted as they enter and exit a cloud.

===''Mario Baseball'' series===
[[File:MSS Spectators.png|thumb|left|Paragoombas in the audience, in the ''Mario Super Sluggers'' opening.]]
Paragoomba is a playable character in both games of the [[Mario Baseball (series)|''Mario Baseball'' series]]: ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', its first playable appearance in general, and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. In both games, Paragoomba is a Speed-type character, with a good speed stat, but it is a poor batter. Paragoomba's ability is [[Super Jump (Mario Baseball series)|Super Jump]], which allows it to make large leaps into the air in order to catch the ball. Paragoomba has good [[chemistry]] with [[Goomba]], [[Koopa Paratroopa]] and [[Monty Mole]].

There are a few differences with Paragoomba between the two games. In ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', Paragoomba has the worst pitching out of the characters, its fielding is average, and it is a member of [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[DK Wilds|team]]. In ''Mario Super Sluggers'', Paragoomba's fielding was improved, its pitching was greatly improved, and it is now a member of [[Wario]]'s [[Wario Muscles|team]]. Additionally, Paragoomba was given poor chemistry with [[Toad]], [[Toadsworth]], and [[Toadette]], and Paragoombas appear as spectators in the stands.

===''Super Princess Peach''===
Paragoombas are enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They again drop [[Mini Goomba|Goombette]]s, but this time, they completely weigh [[Princess Peach]] down. This game also introduces Paragoombas that have been altered by the [[Vibe Scepter]], [[Sad Paragoomba]]s. Red Paragoombas return, and they have their same traits as in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', only being able to hop. However, they can jump low and high. There is also a variety of [[Rage]]-induced Red Paragoombas &ndash; [[M. Red P-Goomba]]s. Both respond the same to attacks as Paragoombas in other 2D titles, in that one stomp takes away their wings.

===''Mario Golf'' series===
{{quote|The best XC golfers have great stamina and the ability to roll with the ups and downs. It's a roller coaster of a game!|Paragoomba|Mario Golf: Super Rush}}
[[File:MGSR Paragoomba.jpg|thumb|A Paragoomba in ''Mario Golf: Super Rush'']]
In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', Paragoomba is one of the names that can appear on the tournament scoreboard. Their only physical appearance in the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]] is ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]''. Here, various Paragoombas appear in [[Ridgerock Lake]], where one is talking to a [[Chargin' Chuck]], one is talking to a [[Koopa Troopa]], and the others talk to the player's [[Mii]] freely.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
Paragoombas appear as NPCs in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', after the Mario brothers defeat [[Wiggler]], it faints and four Paragoombas carry it up to the sky before it transforms into a [[Flutter]]. Later in the game, only [[Paper Paragoomba|paper versions]] appear as enemies.

====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
[[File:MLSSBMParagoomba.png|frame|left]] Paragoombas appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', where they are enemies and allies in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser''. They first appear in the level "[[Winged Traitors]]". They are Flying troopers, and attack by swooping into enemies. Their [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]], Cranium Crush, involves them flying above an enemy and slamming down on them.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====	
Paragoombas appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' as enemies and recruitable allies in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode. Like other Goomba variants, Paragoombas are weak against yellow [[Shy Guy]].

===''Dr. Mario World''===
Paragoombas debut in the [[Dr. Mario (series)|''Dr. Mario'' series]] as assistants in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. Their stage mode effect increases the player's base score for every blue [[virus]] that are eliminated. Their versus mode effect grants a chance one of the viruses that appear is transformed into a [[shell]] when all viruses in the player's play area are eliminated. The amount of points gained and the chance of an exploder appearing are increased at higher levels, starting from 50 points and 20% respectively to 200 points and 100% respectively. A Paragoomba appeared as a patient during the seventh season of Clinic Events.

===Unused appearances===

While Paragoombas do not appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', [[List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga pre-release and unused content#Unused enemy statistics|unused data]] and an unused sprite for Paragoombas exist in the game's files.
