Pirate Gooms[1] are enemies introduced in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. They are darker than their ordinary counterparts, Wanderin' Gooms, and have small hands. Pirate Gooms typically pace back and forth and do not fall off unless pushed or thrown. Their spears are pointed forward, protecting them from frontal attacks. Wario Land 3 introduces a similar enemy named Spearhead, except their spear is incorporated into their body.
Three nameless Pirate Gooms are introduced in Wario Land II as Captain Syrup's sidekicks that steal the treasure of Wario Castle. They wear striped bandannas instead, are a lighter color, and wield tridents instead of spears. The giant spear man, an abnormally large Pirate Goom, is fought several times and serves as the game's "really final" boss. In the final battle at Syrup Castle, Captain Syrup drops Pirate Gooms in Buzzy Beetle-like helmets (described as "beetles"[2]).
Pirate Gooms are the focus of the Wario Land microgame of WarioWare: Smooth Moves, where the player has to grab one and hurl it at an enemy by using the Wii Remote.
