:While I don't like the "Great Goomba God" name, I have to say that the current name is not that great either, as it's not necessarily accurate, from what we know about the subject. "Almighty" appears to imply omnipotence, but we have no way of knowing whether or not this Goomba god would be perceived as omnipotent or not. In fact, as it refers to multiple "gods" in its dialogue, it's actually more like that it isn't, as the idea of actual omnipotence is mainly attributed to a god in monotheism, while polytheistic deities tend to be more limited in their abilities. I would suggest moving it to something simple like "Goomba God", as the fact that it's a god is really all we are told about it.--[[User:Vellidragon|vellidragon]] 16:14, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

From the dialogue I read in the image, it seems as if the voice is coming from more than one person. In fact, since this "Goomba God" is only a voice, shouldn't it by in one of those list of implied articles? {{User:Fawfulfury65/sig}}
: I agree with Vellidragon because both those words are in the game and "almighty" is not. Also, regarding what Fawfulfury65 said, it seems more like the voice is a representative of the group that was disturbed. Also, the List of implied characters articles is for characters that were talked about or seen in a picture or something. This character actually interacts with the main characters and a picture of them is seen in the dialogue box. [[User:A Link to the Present|A Link to the Present]] 12:12, 14 June 2011 (EDT)
== Do we need this article? ==
It appears to be just a disembodied voice that has no name. We can merge information here into [[Goomba's Booty Boardwalk]] and leave out speculation on this voice. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 23:28, 18 December 2018 (EST)
:It probably deserves an article as much as things like [[Snifit Patrol]] and other board-specific people. I'd prefer if it was more straightforward, though, like maybe just "Goomba statues" or "Goomba idols."

::I'd move it to "Goomba idols". {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 23:32, 18 December 2018 (EST)
:::Either works for me. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:31, 19 December 2018 (EST)
