| == Sub-Species ==
| |
|
| |
| I think we should make separate articles for the different sub-species if enough info can be gathered. The current sub-species section is very jumbled.
| |
| It would seem as though there are three types: the blue variety with yellow spots, the red rock-spitting kind, and the brown fire-ball spitting ones. (I don't think the invisible woven ones are electrogoombas, they don't have an antennea, snout, or similarly shaped body. They seem to be the [[moneybags]] of Mario Galaxy and a different species altogether.)
| |
|
| |
| == Are they Goombas or Bloopers? ==
| |
| I've seen both being used interchangeably in the article. So which is it?{{User:Knife/sig}} 11:42, 19 January 2008 (EST)

| http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-93-49-en-70-2sga.html reveals that these guys are named Takobos (octopus robots). I know that the official guide calls them Electrogoombas, but still... -- [[User: Booster|Booster]]
| |
|
| |
| == Perhaps a Shroob? ==
| |
|
| |
| Toad refers to it as an alien (most of the enemies are not aliens, even though they are on different planets, because they all work for Bowser) The Electrogoomba's color scheme and body details look similar to that of a Shroob. Also, the head of the boss enemy Swiggler from Mario and Luigi : PIT look very similar to the bodies of these things, even the eyes. The Shroob variant of a Snifit maybe? {{unsigned|Jack 7}}
| |
|
| |
| I always thought they sounded like shroobs as well. Theory Accepted by me. [[User:Mecha-Boss Unit]]

|
| |
| == Goombas? They're Deku Scrubs! Or... ==
| |
|
| |
| OK, that was a little bit of a stretch, but they do resemble them (i'll put it in a trivia section). But they are NOT Goombas. They don't have stems, they're method of attack is exactly the opposite, but this is my idea:
| |
|
| |
| KALIENTES. We have a King Kaliente who looks and attacks almost exactly the same, yes? So it is clear that Kaliente is either the bosses name or a species. Ofcourse, there is King Boo, who uses my sugested method as opposed to a unique name. And the sub-species should be Big, Mega or Super Kalientes.

| |
| Well, IIRC the name "Electrogoomba" was provided by Nintendo Power or someplace. We can't have a fan name if a real one was given, can we?[[User:GreenKoopa|GreenKoopa]] - [[User talk:GreenKoopa|Comments or questions?]]
| |
|
| |
| But people above have said it was in the official something or other, but have also said the official something or other is... unreliable. Here is proof it is unreliable - [[Captain Maple Syrup]] read the last peice of Trivia. not saying it happened here, but Electrogoomba? They arent even electric (though maybe robotic octopusses).

| In a video of Sky station Galaxy a Luma referred to the electrogoomba as an "Octoomba" See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_sToIQ35E8&feature=related

| == Article Fails ==
| |
|
| |
| It says that grey electrogoombas can shoot coconuts which need to be deflected (is that the right word) back at them, but THEN it says they ONLY (note the 'ONLY') shoots fire, and that it can ONLY be defeated with a shell.... right after it says they can be defeated with their own coconuts? Someone needs to go back to Grade -1. {{unsigned|TheUltimateKoopa}}
| |
|
| |
| What they mean is that there are some Gray electrogoomas that only shoot fireballs {{User|Iruni181}}
| |
|
| |
| No, I don't think so. ''"Another sub-species of Electrogoomba is '''gray''', and taller and bigger then the other two. It is immobile, but can shoot projectiles at Mario, which include '''harmless coconuts''' that need to be hit back. They make a strange squeaking noise before they shoot. This variety often appears in pre-boss levels and serve as mini-bosses. '''Gray''' Electrogoombas '''only shoot fire''', and therefore Mario must use shells to destroy them. "''
| |
| Like I said, it says that "grey electronuts shoot projectiles that include harmless coconuts", and then say that "grey electrogoombas only shoot fire".--[[User:TheUltimateKoopa|TheUltimateKoopa]] 22:13, 11 May 2010 (EDT)

| |
| Where did the name "Octoomba" come from? More importantly, if that's the official name in the second game, then shouldn't we change the name of the article? - [[User:Smashgoom202|Smashgoom202]] 10:20, 28 April 2010 (EDT)

|
| |
| :Look at the "New Name in Galaxy 2?" talk page section a bit above this one for the name's origin (though the video link is wrong there - the user probably meant to link to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJg2oNUcWnA this]; look at 0:12 for the "Octoombas" name). Not sure about changing the name of the article. It was apparently moved to Octoomba already, but moved back to Electrogoomba. Other articles indeed seem to use the most recent name as the article title if there are several names available, like [[Freezie]] (the enemy was originally named Slipice) and [[Princess Peach]] (as opposed to Princess Toadstool, as she was originally known). Maybe we should wait with moving this until the game is out, though, in case the name is not final.--[[User:Vellidragon|vellidragon]] 10:56, 28 April 2010 (EDT)
