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]].  


Before the battle, a seemingly regular [[Goomba]] transforms into this Mega Goomba. When the it grows, it makes a sound similar to Mario changing into Mega Mario, only it is somewhat more evil-sounding. [[Mario]] must defeat this boss to acquire the [[key]] that provides access to [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]].
To defeat the Mega Goomba, [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) can either activate a [[? Switch]], causing two [[platform]]s to appear that elevate when Mario stands on them, or [[Wall Jump]] off the side wall when the Goomba comes close. Either way, Mario has to [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]] the Mega Goomba afterwards to damage it. Alternatively, [[Mega Mario]], [[Shell Mario]]'s [[Shell Dash]] technique, or [[Fire Mario]]'s [[fireball]]s 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 Mario (form)|Mini form]]. When Mega Goomba is defeated, the [[key]] to [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]] is released.


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 the 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 the Mega Goomba.
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]]''.


Once Mario hits the Mega Goomba three times, the Goomba will be defeated, and Mario can get the key to World 5.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Mega Goomba is mentioned in the [[Mega Goomba|Giant Goomba]]'s [[trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] description.

The Mega Goomba is the only boss in the game (other than [[Petey Piranha]]) that can be defeated using one jump with a power-up other than the [[Mega Mushroom]]. In order to do this, [[Shell Mario]] needs to go to the wall then wait for Mega Goomba to stop at the wall. Once Mega Goomba hits the wall, Shell Mario needs to jump while in the crouching position. Normally, when Shell Mario hits the Mega Goomba, Shell Mario will go in the opposite direction. Since hitting the wall lets Shell Mario to go towards the other wall when he hits Mega Goomba the first time, Shell Mario will hit the Mega Goomba 2 more times (according to the game) due to the fact that Mega Goomba has a few invincibility frames.

*In the [[List of New Super Mario Bros. beta elements|very first previews]] of ''New Super Mario Bros.'', it was a normal level enemy Goomba until it was caught in contact with a Mega Mushroom which made it the same size as it was in the current game. This feature was taken out for unknown reasons, possibly due to difficulty concerns.

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 either activate a ? Switch, causing two platforms to appear that elevate when Mario stands on them, or Wall Jump off the side wall when the Goomba comes close. Either way, Mario has to ground-pound the Mega Goomba afterwards to damage 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.
