===''Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games''===
A Giant Goomba appears as a boss in [[Ultimate Figure Skating]] in the [[Nintendo DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''. It appears as the boss for the Mario, Mario & Sonic and Mario & Sonic Download medleys, and can be defeated by performing step attacks.
===''Mario Golf: World Tour''===
A Big Goomba appears in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' on Hole 2 of [[Wiggler Park]]. Because it appears behind the green, it is unlikely that the player should hit the ball into it. If they manage to do so, it will cause the Big Goomba to look around wondering what just happened while the player's ball would likely land [[Out of Bounds]].
===''Mario Party'' series===
[[File:Mega Goomba's Ladder Leap MP10.png|thumb|Mega Goomba being fought in ''Mario Party 10''.]]
Mega Goomba makes its first ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' appearance in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', although prior to this, ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' introduced a Mega Goomba character named [[Captain Goomba (Mario Party 8)|Captain Goomba]]. In ''Mario Party 10'', a Mega Goomba is a boss fought in [[Mega Goomba's Ladder Leap]], which involves players climbing up to a higher platform and jumping down onto it to deal damage. After enough hits, Mega Goomba is defeated. A Mega Goomba is also a boss in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', more specifically the first boss. His boss minigame, [[Mega Goomba's Bad Dream]], has the players collect 25 apples when he is asleep. When Mega Goomba stops sleeping, players need to collect another 25 apples, though he attacks players who approach the apple pile. After the minigame ends, a butterfly appears and Mega Goomba chases it. In [[Mario Party: Star Rush#Toad Scramble|Toad Scramble]] mode, the winner gets one [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] (two Stars if it is fought as the final boss of the board).
===''Paper Mario: Color Splash''===
Mega Goombas appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' as enemies fought in [[Mondo Woods]]. They were originally normal-sized Goombas until they were enlarged by [[Kamek]]'s magic. Mega Goombas attack by jumping on Mario, doing 33 HP of damage. Like most enemies, they have a chance to drop a card of themselves, but it will be a normal [[Goomba]] card.

“This giant Goomba is a giant pain! I think you're going to have to take it out for us to move forward.”
Huey, Paper Mario: Color Splash

Big Goombas, are larger Goombas that have appeared as recurring enemies throughout the Super Mario franchise. They are larger than Hefty Goombas, and much larger than common Goombas.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario Bros. 3

World 4-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)
A Grand Goomba in Super Mario Bros. 3.
Grand Goomba
Sprite of a Grand Goomba from the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. 3

Big Goombas make their first appearance in Super Mario Bros. 3, under the names Grand Goombas[1] or Mega Goombas,[2] where they are only encountered in Giant Land, alongside Mega Koopa Troopas and Mega Piranha Plants. They are twice as tall as a normal Goomba, but do not pose much of a threat, as they share the same weaknesses and movement patterns. In the 16-bit remakes of the game, their sprites are slightly redrawn.

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS

Screenshot of a Grand Goomba from Super Mario 64.Mario at Tiny-Huge Island
A Big Goomba in Super Mario 64 (left) and Super Mario 64 DS (right)

Big Goombas[3] appear again in Super Mario 64 and its Nintendo DS version on Tiny-Huge Island. If the player enters or warps to the huge side, Micro-Goombas are replaced with Big Goombas. These Goombas take longer to notice Mario, Yoshi, Luigi, or Wario, as they will charge at him only if he is very close to them. If a Big Goomba hits the player character, he will instead lose two wedges of health instead of one wedge. These Goombas can be defeated only if jumped on, because punches and kicks do not affect them at all. Ground-pounding on them will produce a Blue Coin. Simply jumping on them also defeats them but produces only a single Yellow Coin.

Super Mario Galaxy

Shock Wave Generators and a Big Goomba in the Gateway Galaxy
Mario stunning the Grand Goomba in Super Mario Galaxy.

In Super Mario Galaxy, only one Big Goomba[4] appears in the entire game, significantly larger than its appearance in Super Mario 64. It appears in the Gateway Galaxy on the second metal planet along with normal Goombas, and must be defeated to get a key in order to both free a trapped Luma and head inside the planet to retrieve a Grand Star. The Big Goomba is slower than the regular ones, and it makes a loud pounding noise when chasing Mario. Spinning it or hitting the nearby metronome puts it on its head, and a kick while it is stunned takes it out. Attempting to jump on it either through Somersaulting or Wall Jumping off of one of the metronomes will simply hurt Mario, regardless of his location relative to it.

Appearances
  • Baseline sprite of the Star Pointer in Super Mario Galaxy. marks missions where they are completely absent.
  • Galaxy StarP.png marks missions where they are loaded and may be visible, but cannot be encountered directly.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Big Goombas[5] reappear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, only in the World 1 Enemy Course, where two of them appear trying to stop the player from saving the kidnapped Toad. Big Goombas share the same attack pattern as regular Goombas and are now four times their height. When jumped on, they split into two Hefty Goombas, which themselves can split into two Goombas each. If Ground Pounded, a Big Goomba splits directly into four normal Goombas. It takes four fireballs to defeat a Giant Goomba. Giant Goombas cannot be frozen by ice balls from Ice Mario; they will break out instantly after being frozen.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Big Goombas[6] return as enemies, retaining their size from Super Mario Galaxy. They only appear in the Supermassive Galaxy. Like in the predecessor, Mario can attack them by spinning them and then kicking them to defeat them. Paragoombas also get their own big counterpart in this game.

Appearances
  • Baseline sprite of the Star Pointer in Super Mario Galaxy. marks missions where they are completely absent.
  • Galaxy StarP.png marks missions where they are loaded and may be visible, but cannot be encountered directly.

Super Mario 3D Land

Tanooki Goombas
A Big Tail Goomba and two Tail Goombas in Super Mario 3D Land.

No regular Big Goombas appear in Super Mario 3D Land. However, a variant called Big Tail Goombas appear instead; they are Big Goombas that have striped tails. They appear only rarely, and have the same attack pattern as a normal Tail Goomba. As such, one stomp to the head or swipe of the tail as Tanooki Mario defeats one, but gives three coins instead of one for a normal Goomba.

New Super Mario Bros. U

Jungle of the Giants from New Super Mario Bros. U
Big Goombas, Hefty Goombas, and normal Goombas in New Super Mario Bros. U.

Big Goombas reappear in New Super Mario Bros. U. They act the same as in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. When stomped or Ground Pounded, they still split into two Hefty Goombas or four normal-sized Goombas, respectively, but they now require three fireballs to take out and can now be defeated by Koopa Shells. They are found in Soda Jungle's course Jungle of the Giants and in a challenge called Big Goomba Bounce Bash.

Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS / Super Mario Maker 2

A red arrow, pointing into a blue diamond. It has been suggested that this section be merged into Hefty Goomba. (discuss)

Big Goombas reappear in Super Mario Maker, its Nintendo 3DS version, and Super Mario Maker 2 as enemies. In these games, jumping on one will split it into two normal-sized Goombas, similar to a Hefty Goomba. This applies to all styles, even though they did not have this feature in Super Mario Bros. 3. They can be made in the Course Maker by dragging a Super Mushroom onto a regular Goomba. A Big Goomba can also be given wings to turn into a Big Paragoomba. They can be placed in Warp Pipes, Bill Blasters, Blocks, and placed on tracks. In the Super Mario World game style, Big Goombas are replaced by Big Galoombas.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Big Goombas reappear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder first appearing in The Sharp Trial: Launch to Victory and later in Bowser's Rage Stage, where the Goombas have grown due to the Wonder ability. Just like in the New Super Mario Bros. games, stomping on them causes them to split into two Hefty Goombas, though some also have dandelion pappi as parachutes similar to Parachute Galoombas.

Nintendo Adventure Books

An uncommonly large Grand Goomba, thought to be the progenitor of the sub-species, appears in Koopa Capers, having been presumably brought to Dark Land by Wendy O. Koopa, who needed some of its leg hairs for a potion she wants to create. After crossing a Podoboo-infested body of lava in the Magma Pits, Luigi encounters the Grand Goomba wandering around aimlessly, and if he decides to crawl between its legs, he will go unnoticed by it. If he decides to try and jump onto a nearby ledge instead however, the Grand Goomba will grab him mid-leap, stuff him in a sack, and begin to head home to the Land of the Giants, muttering that Luigi will make "a lovely plumber omelet".

Mario's Picross

Grand Goombas cameo
The Grand Goomba puzzle

In Mario's Picross, a Grand Goomba appears in one of the puzzles.

Super Smash Bros. series

SmashWiki article: Big Goomba
Giant Goomba in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

In the Super Smash Bros. series, Big Goombas are encountered as enemies in certain single-player modes. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Giant Goombas, as they are named, appear as an enemy in The Subspace Emissary. Giant Goombas behave identically to regular Goombas, charging at the player upon noticing them. Giant Goombas now require more hits to defeat, either by stomping it five times or hitting it a number of times. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Big Goombas are enemies in Smash Run, and are now weaker so that only three jumps are enough to defeat them.

A giant-sized Goomba, as the name suggests. In Super Mario 64, punching and kicking had no effect on this brute. It could be stopped like normal Goombas--by jumping on it from above. A colossal Goomba appears as the boss of world four in New Super Mario Bros., but that's a Mega Goomba, not a Giant Goomba.
