As if the Galoomba confusion wasn't enough, the "Winged Galoombas" in ''Mario Clash'' are not only referred to as [http://nintendoagemedia.com/elements_nocache/284D55D8-CF1D-7AA0-029539BC19DEF8C1.jpg "Para-Goombas"] in the manual, but are given another name in the Japanese version, [http://nintendoagemedia.com/elements_nocache/21B26D2A-CF1D-7AA0-05CBE115DD51AF9B.jpg "Sharp Winged Galoomba"]. Since the growth of spikes on their head would also be an indication that they're really another sub-species of Galoomba, that should be reflected with a split. On the other hand, if they're instead deemed one and the same, then naming policy dictates both articles would be called "Para-Goomba" (since manuals trump most other potential sources).

Despite this being the only page on the wiki with the name "Flying Goomba", we still give it an identifier as the familiar [[Paragoomba]]s are known as "Flying Goombas" in ''Yoshi's Safari'' and ''Hotel Mario''. While naming rules dictate [[MarioWiki:Naming#Shared titles|the more popular subject goes without an identifier]], it never states if this rule applies to the more popular subject having an infrequently-used alternate name shared with a less popular subject that is still more prominent than that name.

#{{User|OhoJeeOnFire}} I still wonder where they were called Flying Goombas if they are technically para-goombas. But still, per all.

#{{User|LinkTheLefty}} For the record, I'm not sure why "Stretch (Shy Guy)" isn't "Stretch (Shy-Guy)" when they've only appeared in that one game, but the rest of the logic is sound, and regardless, Galoombas and "Flying Goombas" both appear in the ''Super Mario Maker'' games.
#{{User|WildWario}} Per all.
