There are fiveworld bosses given the "Bosu" naming scheme in Japanese. Two of them are definitely recurring, those being dancing Gooper Blooper and Shiny Petey Time. Tower Power Pokey and Mizzter Blizzard are definitely new. This leaves this guy, who conspicuously shared the JP name of Mega Goomba. Not only that, but the English names are similar too, just with "sparkle" randomly crammed in. It's been a while since I played the game, but the sticker-corrupted Megasparkle Goomba ''did'' tend to cram the word "sparkle" wherever he could if I recall correctly. Now, what remains is their different origins; one is an enlarged Goomba, another is a huge conglomeration of Goombas in one body. I don't think this should mater, as both have additionally been used for the [[Goomba King]].

:I'm gonna say it's a coincidence. This is just a byproduct of the Japanese names' tendency to generically call everything "Boss X" or "Big X" instead of expending effort coming up with actual interesting names. When ''Sticker Star'' came out, those ''NSMB'' bosses were one-offs who hadn't been seen in years, and they still are. I doubt they were even thinking about that ''NSMB'' boss when coming up with Megasparkle. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 03:21, November 16, 2019 (EST) | :I'm gonna say it's a coincidence.

Bumping this after replaying PMSS a bit. I'm thinking more than ever this is a deliberate attempt to revitalize the NSMB boss. Anyways, I noticed the SSBB trophy mentions Mega Goomba, and the SSBfWU trophy mentions Megasparkle Goomba. Anyone know what the respective JP text to each is?

:The same name does not always mean they have to be treated as the same thing. The concept of these two is too different to consider them the same thing; NSMB is a Goomba that grows huge, and PMSS is sixteen Goombas combined, with one of them (who is actually the one referred to with this name) wearing a Royal Sticker.

Like others have said, the name "Mega Goomba" is a generic name and seems like a stretch to be intentionally based off the NSMB boss. Notice that even Tower Power Pokey and Mizzter Blizzard are called "Mega enemy that they are based off" as well. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 12:51, July 1, 2021 (EDT) | ||
