Goomba R

Goomba Rs are stronger versions of Goombas that appear as an enemy in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. Like a select few enemies, Goomba Rs do not appear on the field, and can only be fought by getting into a battle with a Fly Guy R. In battle, Goomba Rs charge into Mario and Luigi without pausing. If they look in Mario's direction and tilt back, they're going to charge at Mario. If they look at Luigi's direction and tilt forward, they're going to charge at Luigi.

Goomba Rs attack in unison with Fly Guy Rs differently depending on whether or not there are Goomba Rs present in the battlefield. If there are not any Goomba Rs present, a Fly Guy R will fly high into the sky to reappear flying back into the battlefield from the background, now air-lifting a Goomba R in its grip, who it'll drop in line with Mario and Luigi from Mario's left for them both to charge one after another at Mario and Luigi. Dodging the Goomba R requires Mario and Luigi to jump before it hits them. Dodging the Fly Guy R requires Mario and Luigi to not jump into it while trying to dodge the Goomba R, and to just idle as it goes by. This attack takes up the Fly Guy R's attack turn.

If there is, a Fly Guy R will pick up a nearby Goomba R, fly above Mario or Luigi, and bomb the Goomba R on them, which must be countered by smacking the Goomba R into the sand before it lands on the targeted Bro. Regardless of whether the former part of the attack was countered or not, if the Goomba R wasn't defeated due to the counter-attack, it will then either run at the targeted Bro. again or if the Goomba R has stars around its head, it will charge into the Bro. who wasn't targeted. This attack takes up the Fly Guy R's attack turn.
