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)

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 "Boss 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 "Boss enemy that they are based off" as well. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 12:51, July 1, 2021 (EDT)

::As previously established in the enormous conversation above I don't think you were around to be a part of, the same difference applies to [[Goomboss]] (a single enlarged Goomba in PM64, and an amalgamation of several in SM64DS). Anyways, please don't bog down the specific question I asked with an unrelated point, that's rude...

::I actually don't have an answer to that question, nor am I even aware of the Smash Trophies (I have never played Smash myself), just leaving my thoughts on the situation in general. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 16:52, July 1, 2021 (EDT)
:[https://youtu.be/Kjy7Gd4cjrM?t=181 Here's Big Goomba's Japanese trophy description from ''SSB Wii U'',] and [https://youtu.be/B4K90Lq5YbU?t=240 here's the one from ''Brawl''.]  Both mention a Boss Kuribō. Someone else will have to translate them, but the ''Brawl'' description appears to be the only one that mentions ''NSMB'' (the "New" part of ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and "WORLD 4" are in English). {{User:7feetunder/sig}}
::The Japanese ''Brawl'' trophy more or less says the same thing as the English version in regards to Mega Goomba from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' The Japanese ''Wii U'' trophy simply states that Mega Goomba (doesn't state which one) is even bigger than Big Goomba, and doesn't say anything about it being shiny. Extremely similar description, except the latter implies that Mega Goomba is now a recurring "Bigger Goomba" concept that the reader should be familiar with since it no longer brings up a particular game, so I don't think the "generic boss name" argument applies here. I also want to add, in English guides and trophies, they refer to these Goombas as "a"/"the" Mega Goomba and "the" Megasparkle Goomba. You can read that as Mega Goomba being a rare species/variant and Megasparkle Goomba being a specific instance of a Mega Goomba character. Would that be a fair compromise if there is no merge?

==Scissors or Fan?==
: So, I was watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5UFUyHicDU and after the person beats Megasparkle Goomba with the Scissors, Kersti does her "more effective sticker" dialogue, but in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbQqpJ8ASM0, the person uses the Fan to beat Megasparkle Goomba and the battle ends regularly. Should we make mention of that? [[User:PrincessPeachFan|PrincessPeachFan]] ([[User talk:PrincessPeachFan|talk]]) 19:50, March 31, 2023 (EDT)
::Is it mentioned already? It appears so? {{User:Mario/sig}} 15:38, April 2, 2023 (EDT)
::: Well, the first person did beat Megasparkle Goomba with a Thing but still got the "more effective sticker" dialogue as if they hadn't used a Thing but the second person using the Fan got the regular end of battle animation.
