'''Paragoombas''', also known as '''Winged Goombas''', are a variety of [[Goomba]] that possess small wings protruding from either their head or torso. Just like [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s, they jump up and down and will shed their wings and change into their regular form upon being stomped on the head.

Paragoombas made their debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', in which they appear as somewhat common enemies. [[Red Paragoomba]]s attack by jumping along the ground, while yellow ones attack by flying in the sky and dropping [[Micro-Goomba]]s.

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Paragoombas, known as '''Para-Goombas''' (''Para Kuri'' in Japan), are portrayed as Goombas who utilize parachutes instead of being Goombas with wings. Normal, winged Paragoombas do appear in ''Super Mario World'' as somewhat common enemies, though they are round like the game's incarnation of [[Goomba (Super Mario World)|their wingless cousins]] and can only hop on the ground instead of fly; they are named '''Flying Goombas''' (''Pata Kuri'' in Japan) in ''Super Mario World''.

 

Like most Paragoombas, Flying Goombas' wings are clipped after one jump, leaving them rendered as a normal Goomba. However, just as the normal Goombas in ''Super Mario World'', stomping on them after their wings are gone just renders them helpless for a few moments, allowing the player to throw them at other enemies.

Paragoombas appear as very rare enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. They are only found in a single level, [[World 2 (New Super Mario Bros.)#World 2-4|2-4]], where only two of them appear. They act similarly to how they do in ''Super Mario World'' &ndash; they do not take to the sky as they do in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. One stomp turns them into regular [[Goomba]]s, two stomps defeat them, and a ground pound takes them out instantly.

Paragoombas appear 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 and World 8-2.

[[File:ParagoombaSMG2.png|200px|thumb|left|Paragoombas on a Bonus Planet in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]]

In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', Paragoombas appear as an enemy once again. This is the first time that Paragoombas appear in a 3-D ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' platformer game. There is also a [[Huge Paragoomba|giant form]] of Paragoombas in [[Supermassive Galaxy]]. If Mario jumps on them, they get flattened and disappear instead of becoming a regular Goomba. Their wings disappear if they are eaten by [[Yoshi]].

{{br}}

Paragoombas appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They have the same behavior as in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' and can be defeated with a single stomp.

Paragoombas make an appearance once again in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They maintain their behavior from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. When Mario touches a golden ring, the Paragoombas will turn gold and can produce coins when hit.

Paragoombas back in the [[Wii U]] title ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' where they act in the same manner as in the prequels, in the level [[Skyward Stalk]] from [[Sparkling Waters]] there a new species of Paragoombas which possess balloons, similar to Paragoomba with parachute of ''Super Mario World''.

 

====''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''====

[[File:CartoonParagoomba.jpg|thumb|Four Paragoombas from the ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Mind Your Mummy Mommy, Mario]]".]]

Paragoombas 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]].

====''Super Mario World'' television series====

[[File:SMWToonParagoombas.jpg|thumb|left|Paragoombas in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' cartoon]].]]

In the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' cartoons]], Paragoombas only appear once, in the show's series premier, "[[Fire Sale]]", where several Paragoombas appear to attack [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Yoshi]]. This swarm of Paragoombas is eventually defeated by Mario, who knocks them away after jumping through the air. These Paragoombas have the facial design and lack of stem of the game's Winged Goombas.

===Nintendo Adventure Books===

As Mario explores the Mushroom Kingdom in ''[[Double Trouble]]'', he can encounter a swarm of Paragoombas, 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 Paragoombas find him unappetizing. If Mario runs for cover in some pipes, he picks the Micro-Goombas off, and waits until the Paragoombas get bored waiting for him to come out and leave.

===''Super Mario Adventures''===

In ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'', a Winged Goomba makes a relatively minor appearance, being seen among the creatures sent by Bowser to attack [[Princess Peach's Castle|Princess Toadstool's Castle]].

[[File:Para_Goomba_Yoshis_Safari_SNES.png|frame|Paragoomba as it appears in ''Yoshi's Safari''.]]

In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', Paragoombas appear quite frequently as enemies. They attack Mario and [[Yoshi]] by charging into them, inflicting a minimal amount of damage. A Paragoomba in ''Yoshi's Safari'' can be defeated by shooting it with Mario's [[Super Scope]] once.

|log=A Goomba with wings. Can't reach it with a hammer while it's in the air, but once it's damaged, its wings get clipped. It's kind of sad really.

|tattle=Basically a Goomba with wings.  I'm jealous! You can't hammer it while it's flying, but rough it up and it'll totally plummet!

[[File:PM2_Paragoomba.jpg|left|thumb|An illustration of a Paragoomba from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.]]

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Paragoombas appear as enemies in several locations, such as [[Rogueport Sewers]], [[Petal Meadows]] and [[Hooktail Castle]]. Just as in ''Paper Mario'', the Paragoombas of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' are immune to attacks involving the use of a hammer, capable of only being harmed by a jump attack, item, or [[Crystal Star]] attack. One Paragoomba (who is named '''Paragoomba''') plays a somewhat large role in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> plot as the one minion who informs [[Bowser]] that Mario has collected [[Crystal Star|the last Crystal Star]] during the Koopa King's escapade in [[Poshley Heights]].

Paragoombas reappear in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] game ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. They only appear in [[World 2 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 2]] and have more HP and attack than their previous iterations. Two new sub-species, the [[5-Fold Paragoomba]] and [[Shiny Paragoomba]], were also introduced. Just like the previous games, their only method of attack is headbonking.

Paragoombas also appear as enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They again drop Microgoombas, but this time, they completely weigh [[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 vibe-induced Red Paragoombas &ndash; [[Mad Paragoomba]]s. Both respond the same to attacks as ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' Paragoombas and Red Paragoombas &ndash; one stomp takes away their wings.

A Paragoomba became playable for the first time in the game ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', which features a Goomba and a Paragoomba as a member of [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[DK Kongs|team]]. Paragoomba is a Speed-type character, with a good speed stat, but it is a poor batter and pitcher, while its fielding is average.

Paragoomba reappears as a playable character in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. It has the same batting and pitching skills as the Goomba, but is slightly better in the fielding and running stats. However, Paragoomba is slower than it is in the game's predecessor. The Paragoomba has good chemistry with Goomba, [[Monty Mole]], and the two [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s.

===''Mario Party 8''===

Paragoombas appear in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. In the title screen, two are seen flying by while holding a [[Star Carnival]] banner in their mouths. Paragoombas are also seen in Test of the Best.

===''Mario Superstar Baseball'' Bio===

''"A Goomba with wings. Just like Koopa Paratroopa, Paragoombas lose their wings and turn into Goombas if they get stepped on. The Goomba family is made up of expert bunters, although no one really makes a big deal out of it, bunting, after all, isn't all that glamorous."''
