'''Spiked Goombas''' (also known as '''Spiky Goombas''', and referred to as "'''Spiny Goombas'''" by [[Professor Frankly]]) are [[Goomba]]s that have thought of a creative way to avoid being squished by [[Mario]]. They wear green helmets similar to [[Spike Top]] shells to prevent [[Jump]] moves from damaging them, covering the common Goomba's weakness. They are tougher than regular Goombas and [[Paragoomba]]s making the Spiky Goomba the strongest of the Goomba family tree. While their helmets are a great defense against jumps, they're still defenseless against most other attacks. Mario's [[Hammer]] or [[Bowser]]'s fire breath are two good examples. Spiked Goombas are a staple of the ''Paper Mario'' series, being one of two variants of the normal Goomba; they have appeared in all three games. A similar Goomba appears in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' in a shop in [[Bowser's Enchanted Inferno!]].

==History==
[[File:Spiky Goomba hurt.png|thumb|left|120px|A '''Spiky Goomba''' getting hurt.]]
===''Paper Mario''===
Spiked Goombas, as they were called in this game, made their debut appearance in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. They are first seen in [[Goomba Road]], but also appear in many different locations, such as [[Pleasant Path]]. A single Spiked Goomba also appears at [[Bowser's Castle]], and was in charge of guarding the items in the [[Storehouse|storage room]]. However, instead of guarding them, he decided to sell them to [[Mario]] and company as if the storage room was an item shop (this could be due to the fact that the Spiked Goomba had no idea who Mario is).

Like all Goomba's A Spiked Goomba attacks by headbonking. Also if Mario takes damage from the Spiked Goomba's headbonk attack or if Mario jumps on a Spiked Goomba, the Spiked Goomba will laugh.

A Spiked Goomba can also be found inside a Brick block near a Goomba.

===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Spiked Goombas reappear as one of the most common enemies, but they are referred as '''Spiky Goombas''' in this game. Just like in ''Paper Mario'', jumping on it will cause Mario or a partner to take damage. Their most known appearance is at the beginning of the game, where one battles with a normal Goomba and a [[Para-Goomba]] in the [[Rogueport Sewers]]. Once Mario gets the [[Spike Shield]] badge, Mario will be able to jump the Spiky Goombas along with all spiked enemies.

===''Super Paper Mario''===
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Spiked Goombas once again appear. They, as always, cannot be stomped by normal means. However, they can be defeated by using a [[Pixl]], such as [[Boomer (Pixl)|Boomer]], [[Carrie]], [[Barry]], or [[Cudge]]. Bowser's fire breath attack can also toast them. They appear in the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]] in rooms 12 and 38.

The spiky helmets they use (Or possible green spike top shells) appeared as an item in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' for the Nintendo 3DS, though the enemies make an absence in this game.

===''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''===
Spiked Goombas do not reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' (being essentially replaced by [[2-Fold Goomba]]s), but what appears to be a Spiked Goomba's helmet reappears on the Spike Helmet [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|sticker]].
