==History==
==History==
===''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''===
===''Super Mario Bros. 3/ Super Mario advance 4''===
Pile Driver Micro-Goombas first appear in [[World 2-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 2-1]], the first area of [[Desert Land]], and are a staple enemy in the various desert and sky [[level]]s throughout the rest of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They are disguised as grounded [[Brick Block|brick]]s that can be distinguished by the fact that they do not glisten (except in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', which gave them a light-colored outline instead, but this was changed back in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''). When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] approaches its brick, the Pile Driver Micro-Goomba moves slightly to show a pair of feet underneath the brick, then [[jump]]s high in the air and attempts to land on the player character to damage him. These enemies are resistant to [[fireball]]s and can be defeated by [[stomp]]ing them, hitting them with a [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]] tail, or tossing a [[Koopa Shell]] at them.

Although no Pile Driver Micro-Goombas appear, a group of Pile Driver Micro-Goomba-like blocks makes one small appearance on ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' in the episode "[[A Toadally Magical Adventure]]." Although they have similar characteristics and look like Pile Driver Micro-Goombas, they are real bricks brought to life and are referred to simply as "blocks." These blocks were created by [[Toad]]'s [[pipe creatures]] after they rebelled against him.
