'''Tanoombas''' are [[Goomba]]s based on the [[Tanooki Suit]] that are located in both the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and the [[Beanbean Kingdom]]. They resemble regular Goombas, except that the Tanoomba has raccoon ears, a raccoon tail, and a leaf on its forehead. Tanoombas are also slightly larger than most other Goombas. Tanoombas have powerful mimicry abilities and are able to shapeshift into different objects and different creatures. However, Tanoombas can always be given away by the raccoon-like features or leaves that appear on their transformations. | |||

During the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Tanoombas are found in [[Beanbean Fields|Beanbean Outskirts]] in an area north of [[Beanbean Castle Town]]. To attack, a Tanoomba will transform into a copy of [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. After transforming, the Tanoomba will attack the brother who the shape-shifting Goomba didn't transform into (i.e. if a Tanoomba transforms into a Luigi clone, the Tanoomba will attack the real Mario). This attack can be countered with a [[hammer]] strike. Additionally, a Tanoomba can attack by spinning its tail at a Mario brother. The brothers can [[jump]] to dodge this attack, but should be prepared to dodge multiple tail strikes. This attack may give a Mario Bro. the [[trip]] status effect. If the Game Boy Horror SP is used, Tanoombas will drop a [[Green Pepper]] when defeated in the original game. | |||
Tanoombas sometimes assist [[Bob-omb]]s in battle, and are themselves sometimes joined by [[Paratroopea]]s. | Tanoombas sometimes assist [[Bob-omb]]s in battle, and are themselves sometimes joined by [[Paratroopea]]s. | ||
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', Tanoombas' feet are colored darker brown and they have the bushy eyebrows that most Goombas have, but they keep the 'conjoined' eyes they had in the original game.

Tanoombas also appear in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'', where they are enemies. They are melee troopers, and attack by running into enemies. Their special attack is Spin Cycle, allowing them to attack by spinning their tails. In [[Popple's Partner, Part 2]], a Tanoomba appears as a candidate to be [[Popple]]'s new partner. | ||

They use a variety of disguises. A Tanoomba can turn into a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] (with a raccoon tail), a [[giant coin]] (with the Tanoomba's face on it), a [[? Block]] (with a leaf on top), or even a [[Thwack]] (with the Tanoomba's face on it). Once approached, the Tanoomba reveals itself and attacks. | ||
In battle, the Tanoomba uses a variety of shape-shifting attacks. First, a Tanoomba can jump high and either turn into a [[Thwomp]] (with a raccoon tail) or an orange bubble (with a raccoon tail). If the Tanoomba turns into a Thwomp, it quickly falls and crushes a Mario Bro. If the Tanoomba turns into a bubble, it falls slowly, causing damage when it hits a Mario Bro. Both of these attacks can be countered with a hammer. Additionally, if a Tanoomba flips when it jumps, it attacks Luigi. If it jumps without flipping, the Tanoomba attacks Mario, also if it goes all the way to the top of the screen, it turns into a Thwomp. However if it goes near the top, it turns into a Bubble. | In battle, the Tanoomba uses a variety of shape-shifting attacks (like their Beanbean counterparts, albeit different transformations).

A Tanoomba can also turn into a [[Spiny]] shell (again, with a raccoon tail). When it transforms into the shell, the Tanoomba slides into the Mario Bros., circling around and attempting to damage the brothers multiple times. This technique may even [[Poison (status effect)|poison]] a brother. To dodge this attack, Mario and Luigi have to jump as the Spiny shell approaches. Again, if the Tanoomba does a twirl jump before attacking, Luigi is the first brother to be attacked. If it hops normally, Mario is attacked first. | A Tanoomba can also turn into a [[Spiny]] shell (again, with a raccoon tail).

*The leaf on the Tanoomba's forehead is a reference to the [[Super Leaf]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', which transforms Mario into [[Raccoon Mario]]. Additionally, the [[Tanooki Suit]] is another power-up available in the same game. It could also be a reference to how transforming raccoon dogs (tanuki) in Japanese folklore are often depicted with leaves. | *The leaf on the Tanoomba's forehead is a reference to the [[Super Leaf]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', which transforms Mario into [[Raccoon Mario]].
