'''Spiked Goombas''' (known as '''Spiky Goombas''' in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and referred to as "'''Spiny Goombas'''" by [[Professor Frankly]]) are [[Goomba]]s that wear green helmets similar to [[Spike Top]] shells to prevent [[jump]] moves from damaging them, covering the common Goomba's weakness. They are stronger than regular Goombas and [[Paragoomba]]s, making the Spiked Goomba the strongest of the standard Goomba family tree. While their helmets are a great defense against jumps, they are still defenseless against most other attacks.

Spiked Goombas have appeared in the first three ''Paper Mario'' games. However, unlike normal Goombas and Paragoombas, Spiked Goombas do not reappear in future games like ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', being essentially replaced by [[Paper-Cone Goomba]]s, and ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', being replaced by [[Spike Guy]]s. The [[Spike Helmet]] item in both games resembles the spike helmets that Spiked Goombas wear.

==History==
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
Spiked Goombas made their debut appearance in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. They are first seen in [[Goomba Village (place)|Goomba Village]] and [[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. [[Goombario]]'s [[Tattle]] suggests that the Spiked Goomba may be punished if someone found out he was selling items to Mario, though it is possible that he does not know who Mario is.

Like all Goombas, 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 without the [[Spike Shield]] [[badge]] equipped, the Spiked Goomba will laugh.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Spiked Goombas reappear as common enemies, but they are known as '''Spiky Goombas'''. Just like in ''Paper Mario'', jumping on it will cause Mario or a partner to take damage. Their earliest appearance is at the beginning of the game, where one battles with a normal Goomba and a [[Paragoomba]] in the [[Rogueport Sewers]], and are later found in [[Petal Meadows]] and in [[Hooktail Castle]].

====''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 (Super Paper Mario)|Boomer]], [[Carrie]], [[Barry]], or [[Cudge]]. Bowser's fire breath attack can also defeat them. They appear in [[Yold Desert]], [[Gloam Valley]], [[The Bitlands]], [[the Tile Pool]], and the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]] in rooms 12 and 38.
