The Kaboomba[1] is a walking cannon enemy that first appears in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Its name is supposedly a portmanteau of "kaboom" and "Goomba", despite Kaboombas having no relation to Goombas other than being walking enemies.
History
Yoshi's Island series
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Kaboombas only appear in The Cave Of The Mystery Maze and Raphael The Raven's Castle. They attack by shooting heavy cannonballs that fall to the ground and explode after a few seconds. Yoshi can safely stand on them, and eating them does nothing. An egg or Ground Pound disposes of them.
Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
Kaboombas retain their role in the Game Boy Advance port, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3.
Yoshi's New Island
Kaboombas make a return appearance in Yoshi's New Island. They only appear in Bowser's Castle Break-In.
Super Princess Peach
Kaboombas also appear in Super Princess Peach, where they are named Cannons. The Calm Cannon, a sleeping variety, also appeared.
Other appearances
Kaboombas and an unused big variant were originally designed during the development of Super Mario World,[2] where they would have shot Green Shells.[3] They would have had white shoes, which also appear in early assets of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.[4]
Profiles
Yoshi's Island series
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
- Shogakukan guide: 歩きながら弾をポロポロ落とす、しまりのないヤツ。近よると危険。[5](A clumsy guy who drops projectiles while walking. Dangerous to approach.)
- Player's Guide: He strolls slowly, but unleashes a painful payload. It's pretty easy to evade this cantering cannon.[1]
Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
- Shogakukan guide: 発射された弾は飲みこめないので要注意。上に乗ることもできるが、弾に当たりやすくキケンだ。タマゴで倒すか、逃げよう。[6](Be careful, as the fired projectiles cannot be swallowed. You can ride on top of it, but it is dangerous because it is easy to get hit by a projectile. Use an egg to defeat it or run away.)
Yoshi's New Island
- Shogakukan guide: 正面の斜め上に弾を放ちながら、ゆっくり歩く。弾は山なりに飛ぶが、飛距離は短い。弾がじゃまになって動きにくいので、本体をヒップドロップで倒そう。[7](They walk slowly while shooting projectiles diagonally up in front of them. The projectiles fly in a steep angle, but the distance is short. Since the projectiles are a nuisance and make it difficult to move, Hip Drop the main body to defeat it.)
Super Princess Peach
63: An annoying enemy that attacks with cannonballs.
