Before the battle, a seemingly regular [[Goomba]] transforms into Mega Goomba. When it grows, it makes a sound similar to touching a [[Mega Mushroom]], only somewhat more menacing. [[Mario]] must defeat this boss to acquire the [[key]] that provides access to [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]].
In the [[list of New Super Mario Bros. pre-release and unused content|very first footage]] of ''New Super Mario Bros.'', the Mega Goomba was a normal Goomba until it came into contact with a mushroom. A similar concept was later used for the [[Mega Koopa]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.


To defeat Mega Goomba, Mario can activate a switch, causing two platforms to appear. When Mario stands on the platform, it will elevate in the air. From there, Mario can either [[Wall Jump]], [[Jump]], or [[Ground Pound]] directly on top of Mega Goomba. For the attack to be successful, Mario must Ground Pound the Goomba (unless he is [[Mega Mario]] or [[Shell Mario]]). Mario can also go off to the side, simply wall jump, then ground pound on Mega Goomba. It is possible to defeat Mega Goomba without using the [[? Switch]]. To do this Mario or Luigi must perform [[Wall Jump]]s. [[Fire Mario]] can also defeat Mega Goomba if Fire Mario stays on the far left area and shoots enough fireballs to defeat him; when Mega Goomba approaches Mario on the far left side, he does not hurt Mario due to his mushroom-sized hitbox.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Mega Goomba is mentioned in the [[Big Goomba|Giant Goomba]]'s [[trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] description.


Once Mario ground pounds on Mega Goomba 3 times (or 9 times if Mario is in [[Mini Mario]] form), the Goomba will be defeated, and Mario can get the key to World 5.

The Mega Goomba[1][2] is the boss of World 4 in New Super Mario Bros. Mega Goomba is fought in World 4-Castle. Just before the battle starts, Mega Goomba is first shown to be a regular Goomba, and it walks onscreen before transforming into the Mega Goomba. While growing, Mega Goomba makes a sound similar to touching a Mega Mushroom. To defeat the Mega Goomba, Mario (or Luigi) can activate a ? Switch, causing two platforms to appear. When Mario stands on a platform, it will elevate in the air. From there, Mario has to ground-pound onto the Mega Goomba to attack it. Alternatively, Mega Mario, Shell Mario's Shell Dash technique, or Fire Mario's fireballs can also damage Mega Goomba. If the Mega Goomba approaches Mario on the far left or right side, it does not hurt him due to its mushroom-sized hitbox. It takes three ground-pounds to defeat the Mega Goomba, or nine if Mario is in his Mini form. When Mega Goomba is defeated, the key to World 5 is released.

In the very first footage of New Super Mario Bros., the Mega Goomba was a normal Goomba until it came into contact with a mushroom. A similar concept was later used for the Mega Koopa in Super Paper Mario.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Mega Goomba is mentioned in the Giant Goomba's trophy description.
