'''Micro-Goombas''', also known as '''Mini Goombas''', are miniature [[Goomba]]s that were featured throughout different installments of the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]. They look like regular Goombas, being brown vaguely humanoid mushrooms, albeit they are notably smaller in size. Their main purpose is usually to slow down the players or otherwise impede their progress. They first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

{{multiframe|[[File:SMB3 Micro-Goomba.png]] [[File:MicroGoomba SMB3.png]]|align=right}}
In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', [[Paragoomba]]s would drop Micro-Goombas onto [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], which highly weakened their ability to [[Jump]] temporarily. They were also known as '''Mugger Micro-Goombas'''.
Micro-Goombas, alternatively called '''Mugger Micro-Goombas'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13|page=8|date=June 1990|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition'' instruction booklet|page=27|language=en-us|date=2010|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> to differentiate from [[Pile Driver Micro-Goomba]]s, are enemies in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They are dropped by brown [[Paragoomba|Para-Goomba]]s onto [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], something that they do not do in later games. Micro-Goombas cling onto Mario or Luigi to weaken his [[jump]]ing ability temporarily. When the Micro-Goombas are launched, they will slowly float down to the bottom of the screen. Micro-Goombas can be shaken off by either moving left and right on the {{button|NES|pad}} repeatedly or by jumping repeatedly. Micro-Goombas first appear in [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-2]].


They first appear in level 1-2. When the Micro-Goomba is launched, it will slowly float to the bottom of the screen. If they collide with Mario or Luigi, they will cling onto him which slows them down and prevents them from jumping high. Mario or Luigi will have to jump repeatedly to knock the pesky creatures off of them. [[Pile Driver Micro-Goomba]]s also appear.
There is a slight change in the outline between the original version's sprites and the ones found in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''; the originals have distinct feet and an additional line of pixels at top through use of an additional 8x8 pixel tile, while later versions have the feet running together and lack the line at the top due to only using a single 8x8 tile.


====''Super Mario 64''====
====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
[[File:Micro-Goomba.png|thumb|200px|The ''Super Mario 64'' Micro-Goomba.]]
[[File:Micro-Goomba.png|thumb|200px|A Goombette in ''Super Mario 64'']]
They also appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Tiny-Huge Island]]. They appear in the tiny side, and if they touch Mario, he will not get hurt, only knocked a few feet back, and the Micro-Goombas will die. However, they are usually placed near bottomless pits or cliffs, and will often knock Mario off into these. They can easily be defeated by jumping on their heads, or by punching or kicking them. They are slightly faster than regular Goombas and they give off a [[Coin]] when defeated, which apparently is twice as large as the Micro Goomba itself. Micro-Goombas also appear in the remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.
Goombettes are enemies in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]]. They are encountered on the tiny side of [[Tiny-Huge Island]], commonly near [[pit|bottomless pits]] or cliffs. Goombettes are a lot faster and more erratic than regular Goombas and can notice the player character from farther away than Goombas and [[Big Goomba|Grand Goomba]]s. Goombettes cannot directly harm the player character, only pushing them back while defeating the Goombette in the process. Since Goombettes are the weakest enemies, a jump, punch, or a kick can also defeat them, causing the Goombette to drop a [[coin]] in the process.


====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:MicroGoombaNsmb.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Micro-Goombas in a bonus area in ''New Super Mario Bros.''.]]
Mini Goombas are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They are enemies in certain small areas that can be accessed by [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini Mario]] only. A Mini Goomba's weakness to Mini Mario is relative to a Goomba's weakness to Mario in any other form, because Mini Mario can jump onto a Mini Goomba defeats it. Mini Goombas are the weakest enemies otherwise, since they are the only ones that can be defeated by walking into them in all other forms.
They reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. When Mario is Mini Mario, he can enter miniature pipes. If he enters one, Mario may find a [[Star Coin]]. However, in some cases, Micro-Goombas are in the way, and Mario has to defeat them to get to the Star Coin. In this game, Micro-Goombas possess the intelligence of any other Goomba. As Mini Mario, they can be defeated by jumping on them, but by any other form of Mario, they can be defeated by even simply walking into them. They are the only enemy in the game which Mini Mario does not need to [[Ground Pound]] to hurt or defeat.
 
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:SMG_Micro_Goomba.png|thumb|100px|left|Model from ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
Micro Goombas are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They are slightly larger and appear more closely to [[Goombo]]s from ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. They do not try to attach themselves to Mario or Luigi, unlike before. They act like Goombas in that they run after the player character on sight, though can be defeated instantly from a [[spin]], yielding only a [[coin]]. Stunning a Micro Goomba, either from being hit by a Star Bit or contact with a [[Shock Wave Generator]], and then kicking can also defeat the Micro Goomba, though it drops three [[Star Bit]]s instead.


====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:Micro Goomba.png|frame]]
[[File:NSMBW Mini Goomba Render.png|right|frame]]
They reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', this time in the open world. Mostly in groups, they are not dropped by [[Paragoomba]]s, but they still weigh Mario down by swarming on him. They cannot hurt Mario. However, the plumber can do a [[Spin Jump]] to get the pesky enemies off. After being spun once, Micro-Goombas are defeated. Despite their size, Micro Goombas still let out a coin when hit by a fireball. They made appearances on World 5-4 and 7-4.
Mini Goombas are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They are based on their appearance from ''New Super Mario Bros.'', but with some differences. Mini Goombas do not Mini Mario; however, Mario can do a [[Spin Jump]] to get them off. After being spun once, Mini Goombas are defeated. A Mini Goomba's spoil from a fireball attack is a single [[coin]].
 
====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:SMG2 Battle Belt Single Goomba Planet.png|200px|thumb|A Mini Goomba in [[Battle Belt Galaxy]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]]
Mini Goombas are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are based on their appearance in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. A difference is that a Mini Goomba's spoil from being [[Spin|spun]] is a Star Bit, not a coin, unless it is stomped. [[Magikoopa]]s may spawn Mini Goombas.


====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[File:NewMicroGoomba.png|frame|left]]
[[File:NewMicroGoomba.png|frame|left]]
Micro-Goombas reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They act the same as they did in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They can be defeated by simply jumping on their heads, like regular Goombas. If they attach themselves to the player, the player can [[Ground Pound|ground pound]] to get rid of them, attack them as [[Raccoon Mario]], or simply walk around for a few seconds until they go away. They are no longer dropped by [[Paragoomba]]s unlike in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', and instead are seen simply walking around.
Mini Goombas are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They are based on their appearance from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. If Mini Goombas attach themselves to the player, the player can Ground Pound to get rid of them, attack them as [[Raccoon Mario]], or move around for a few seconds until they go away. Mini Goombas appear in gold form in [[World 4-1 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4-1]] and [[World 5-3 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|5-3]].
 
====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
Mini Goombas are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. They are based on their appearances in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''. Mini Goombas appear mainly in the levels [[Magma-River Cruise]] (''New Super Mario Bros. U'') and [[Magmaw River Cruise]] (''New Super Luigi U'') of [[Peach's Castle (world)|Peach's Castle]] in large numbers. They occasionally appear in the battle with [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] in [[Slide Lift Tower]] (''New Super Mario Bros. U'') and [[Stonecrush Tower]] (''New Super Luigi U'').
 
====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
[[File:SM3DWMicroGoomba.jpg|thumb|left|Mini Goombas in ''Super Mario 3D World''.]]
Mini Goombas are enemies in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. They are based on their appearance in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games design-wise, but act the same as in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. Mini Goombas generally appear in groups, and sometimes hide inside crates and other breakable objects. Ground Pounding near them or blowing into the microphone on the GamePad causes them to be pushed away. They can be defeated like normal Goombas, and can also be defeated by tapping them on the screen.
 
====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
Mini Goombas make a minor appearance in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. When the player shakes a Goomba while editing a level, it splits into two to five Mini Goombas, but they fall off the screen as if the player erased the Goomba. The same thing can be done with a [[Galoomba]]. However, they cannot be used in a player's level.
 
====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:SMO Micro Goombas.jpg|thumb|Mini Goombas in ''Super Mario Odyssey''.]]
Mini Goombas are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Their behavior is taken from ''Super Mario 3D World'', though they are colored bright yellow instead. Mini Goombas cannot be [[capture]]d, since throwing [[Cappy]] at one defeats it. Mini Goombas can be found occasionally by breaking [[crate]]s and [[Ground Pound]]ing certain glowing spots on the ground. Jumping on eight Mini Goombas in a row causes a [[Heart (item)|Heart]] to appear, or if 32 are jumped on in a row, a [[Life-Up Heart]] appears, which can be done in the zipper bonus level in the [[Lake Kingdom]] only.

===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
While Mario is exploring the Mushroom Kingdom in ''[[Double Trouble]]'', he can encounter a swarm of Paragoombas, which begin dropping Micro-Goombas on him. If Mario decides to pick the Micro-Goombas off instead of running for cover, the tiny Goombas will knock him out with some noxious gas, though their parents will leave him alone after finding him unappetizing. If Mario makes a run for some pipes instead, he will pick the Micro-Goombas off, and be left alone when the Paragoombas grow bored of waiting for him to come out.

[[File:Goombette.gif|frame|left]]
Mini Goombas, retranslated as '''Goombettes''' in [[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|the original version]], appear as a group of monsters in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. As enemies, they only appear in the battle with [[Whuhoh]] in the [[Sunken Ship]]. Despite their diminutive size, they are stronger than an average Goomba, but barely have any special moves except for [[Poison (move)|Poison]]. Three of them (better known as the [[Triplets]]) also reside in [[Monstro Town]], helping to run their [[Goomhilde|mother]]'s store. The shop sold [[Mushroom]]s that heal 30 HP, but turn the player into a mushroom, possibly referring to the enemy's slowing-down effect in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. However, the party member who ate the mushroom steadily heals his HP as long as the [[Mushroom (status effect)|Mushroom status]] remains. Its [[Thought Peek|thought]] in the original game is a reference to the motto of the twenty-sixth {{wp|president of the United States}}, {{wp|Theodore Roosevelt}}, "Speak softly and carry a big stick. You will go far."
A similar species called [[Goombette]]s are found in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. They reside in the [[Sunken Ship]] as enemies, and a group of them (The [[Triplets]]) ran a shop which was originally run by a normal Goomba. The Shop sold [[Mushroom]]s that heal 30 HP, but turn the player into a mushroom, possibly referring to the slowing down effect of the Mugger Micro-Goombas. However, the party member who ate the mushroom steadily heals his HP as long as the Mushroom Status remains.


===''Super Princess Peach''===
===''Super Princess Peach''===
In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', Mugger Micro-Goombas from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' reappear helping [[Bowser]] in his conquest of [[Vibe Island]], this time however, they completely weigh down the player. He/she has to use the [[Rage]] vibe or the [[vibe|Joy]] vibe to get them off.
Goombettes are enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They are based on their appearance from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', being dropped by Paragoombas like before and restricting [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s jumping abilities if they make contact. Peach can get rid of Goombettes from either jumping a few times or from her [[Rage]] or [[Joy (vibe)|Joy]] [[vibe]].

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Micro-Goombas are not seen but only mentioned. A resident in [[The Underwhere]] mentions that he died all because of a Micro-Goomba and a [[Bottomless Pit|bottomless pit]]. A Sammer Guy named "Micro Boomba" is a reference to this type of Goomba.

[[File:PMCS Sacred Forest Paint Star Piece 4.png|thumb|Small Goomba Gangs in ''Paper Mario: Color Splash''.]]
Small Goombas are enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. They are encountered in the [[Sacred Forest]]. Small Goombas are actually regular-sized Goombas enchanted by [[Kamek]]. Several [[Small Goomba Gang]]s scatter the blue [[Mini Paint Star]] of that level into five pieces. Five Small Goombas can band up to form [[Goomba Wheel|Small Goomba Wheel]]s; however, Small Goomba Gangs are more dangerous and will pummel Mario down a large chunk of his health if they remain together. During battle, the Small Goomba Gangs become increasingly smaller as Mario hits and scatters them, making them far more manageable. A Small Goomba is the first-round opponent in [[Roshambo Temple#Roshambo Temple #7|Roshambo Temple #7]].

Origami Mini Goombas are found as hazards in [[Overlook Tower]], behaving similarly to [[Co Gasagoso]]. They are seen as pests to be exterminated. One of them has a pair of small wings resembling a Paragoomba. Normal Mini Goombas are also seen in the [[Scorching Sandpaper Desert]] café that a [[Sledge Bro]] is managing.

Micro-Goombas are obviously very small. Their sub-species all are roughly the same size, although the ''Super Mario 64'' Micro-Goombas were notably smaller, roughly the size of Mario's foot.

Mini Goombas,[1][2][3][4][5][6] originally known as Micro-Goombas[7] and also formatted as Micro Goombas,[8][9] and also occasionally referred to as Goombettes or Small Goombas, are varieties of Goombas appearing throughout the Super Mario franchise. They look like regular Goombas, being brown vaguely humanoid mushrooms, albeit they are notably smaller in size. Their main purpose is usually to slow down the players or otherwise impede their progress. They first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Bros. 3 / Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Micro-Goomba as it appears in Super Mario Bros. 3 A sprite of a Micro-Goomba from the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. 3

Micro-Goombas, alternatively called Mugger Micro-Goombas[10][11] to differentiate from Pile Driver Micro-Goombas, are enemies in Super Mario Bros. 3. They are dropped by brown Para-Goombas onto Mario and Luigi, something that they do not do in later games. Micro-Goombas cling onto Mario or Luigi to weaken his jumping ability temporarily. When the Micro-Goombas are launched, they will slowly float down to the bottom of the screen. Micro-Goombas can be shaken off by either moving left and right on the +Control Pad repeatedly or by jumping repeatedly. Micro-Goombas first appear in World 1-2.

There is a slight change in the outline between the original version's sprites and the ones found in Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3; the originals have distinct feet and an additional line of pixels at top through use of an additional 8x8 pixel tile, while later versions have the feet running together and lack the line at the top due to only using a single 8x8 tile.

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

A Goombette in Super Mario 64

Goombettes are enemies in Super Mario 64 and its remake. They are encountered on the tiny side of Tiny-Huge Island, commonly near bottomless pits or cliffs. Goombettes are a lot faster and more erratic than regular Goombas and can notice the player character from farther away than Goombas and Grand Goombas. Goombettes cannot directly harm the player character, only pushing them back while defeating the Goombette in the process. Since Goombettes are the weakest enemies, a jump, punch, or a kick can also defeat them, causing the Goombette to drop a coin in the process.

New Super Mario Bros.[edit]

Mini Goombas are enemies in New Super Mario Bros. They are enemies in certain small areas that can be accessed by Mini Mario only. A Mini Goomba's weakness to Mini Mario is relative to a Goomba's weakness to Mario in any other form, because Mini Mario can jump onto a Mini Goomba defeats it. Mini Goombas are the weakest enemies otherwise, since they are the only ones that can be defeated by walking into them in all other forms.

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

Model from Super Mario Galaxy

Micro Goombas are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy. They are slightly larger and appear more closely to Goombos from Super Mario Land. They do not try to attach themselves to Mario or Luigi, unlike before. They act like Goombas in that they run after the player character on sight, though can be defeated instantly from a spin, yielding only a coin. Stunning a Micro Goomba, either from being hit by a Star Bit or contact with a Shock Wave Generator, and then kicking can also defeat the Micro Goomba, though it drops three Star Bits instead.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

Mini Goomba

Mini Goombas are enemies in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They are based on their appearance from New Super Mario Bros., but with some differences. Mini Goombas do not Mini Mario; however, Mario can do a Spin Jump to get them off. After being spun once, Mini Goombas are defeated. A Mini Goomba's spoil from a fireball attack is a single coin.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Mini Goombas are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are based on their appearance in Super Mario Galaxy. A difference is that a Mini Goomba's spoil from being spun is a Star Bit, not a coin, unless it is stomped. Magikoopas may spawn Mini Goombas.

New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

Mini Goomba

Mini Goombas are enemies in New Super Mario Bros. 2. They are based on their appearance from New Super Mario Bros. Wii. If Mini Goombas attach themselves to the player, the player can Ground Pound to get rid of them, attack them as Raccoon Mario, or move around for a few seconds until they go away. Mini Goombas appear in gold form in World 4-1 and 5-3.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

Mini Goombas are enemies in New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. They are based on their appearances in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. 2. Mini Goombas appear mainly in the levels Magma-River Cruise (New Super Mario Bros. U) and Magmaw River Cruise (New Super Luigi U) of Peach's Castle in large numbers. They occasionally appear in the battle with Magikoopa in Slide Lift Tower (New Super Mario Bros. U) and Stonecrush Tower (New Super Luigi U).

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]

Mini Goombas in Super Mario 3D World
Mini Goombas in Super Mario 3D World.

Mini Goombas are enemies in Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. They are based on their appearance in the New Super Mario Bros. games design-wise, but act the same as in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Mini Goombas generally appear in groups, and sometimes hide inside crates and other breakable objects. Ground Pounding near them or blowing into the microphone on the GamePad causes them to be pushed away. They can be defeated like normal Goombas, and can also be defeated by tapping them on the screen.

Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS[edit]

Mini Goombas make a minor appearance in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS. When the player shakes a Goomba while editing a level, it splits into two to five Mini Goombas, but they fall off the screen as if the player erased the Goomba. The same thing can be done with a Galoomba. However, they cannot be used in a player's level.

Super Mario Odyssey[edit]

Mini Goombas are enemies in Super Mario Odyssey. Their behavior is taken from Super Mario 3D World, though they are colored bright yellow instead. Mini Goombas cannot be captured, since throwing Cappy at one defeats it. Mini Goombas can be found occasionally by breaking crates and Ground Pounding certain glowing spots on the ground. Jumping on eight Mini Goombas in a row causes a Heart to appear, or if 32 are jumped on in a row, a Life-Up Heart appears, which can be done in the zipper bonus level in the Lake Kingdom only.

Nintendo Adventure Books[edit]

While Mario is exploring the Mushroom Kingdom in Double Trouble, he can encounter a swarm of Para-Goombas, which begin dropping Micro-Goombas on him. If Mario decides to pick the Micro-Goombas off instead of running for cover, the tiny Goombas will knock him out with some noxious gas, though their parents will leave him alone after finding him unappetizing. If Mario makes a run for some pipes instead, he will pick the Micro-Goombas off, and be left alone when the Para-Goombas grow bored of waiting for him to come out.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]

Mini Goombas, retranslated as Goombettes in the original version, appear as a group of monsters in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. As enemies, they only appear in the battle with Whuhoh in the Sunken Ship. Despite their diminutive size, they are stronger than an average Goomba, but barely have any special moves except for Poison. Three of them (better known as the Triplets) also reside in Monstro Town, helping to run their mother's store. The shop sold Mushrooms that heal 30 HP, but turn the player into a mushroom, possibly referring to the enemy's slowing-down effect in Super Mario Bros. 3. However, the party member who ate the mushroom steadily heals his HP as long as the Mushroom status remains. Its thought in the original game is a reference to the motto of the twenty-sixth president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, "Speak softly and carry a big stick. You will go far."

Super Princess Peach[edit]

Goombettes are enemies in Super Princess Peach. They are based on their appearance from Super Mario Bros. 3, being dropped by Paragoombas like before and restricting Peach's jumping abilities if they make contact. Peach can get rid of Goombettes from either jumping a few times or from her Rage or Joy vibe.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]

Goombettes make up the miniature clones during the Mrs. Thwomp battle in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.

Paper Mario series[edit]

Super Paper Mario[edit]

A Micro Goomba is mentioned by a resident in The Underwhere, who says that he died because of a Micro Goomba and a bottomless pit. A Sammer Guy named "Micro Boomba" is a reference to this type of Goomba.

Paper Mario: Color Splash[edit]

Sacred Forest
Small Goomba Gangs in Paper Mario: Color Splash.

Small Goombas are enemies in Paper Mario: Color Splash. They are encountered in the Sacred Forest. Small Goombas are actually regular-sized Goombas enchanted by Kamek. Several Small Goomba Gangs scatter the blue Mini Paint Star of that level into five pieces. Five Small Goombas can band up to form Small Goomba Wheels; however, Small Goomba Gangs are more dangerous and will pummel Mario down a large chunk of his health if they remain together. During battle, the Small Goomba Gangs become increasingly smaller as Mario hits and scatters them, making them far more manageable. A Small Goomba is the first-round opponent in Roshambo Temple #7.

Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]

Origami Mini Goombas are found as hazards in Overlook Tower, behaving similarly to Co Gasagoso. They are seen as pests to be exterminated. One of them has a pair of small wings resembling a Paragoomba. Normal Mini Goombas are also seen in the Scorching Sandpaper Desert café that a Sledge Bro is managing.

Micro-Goomba is the tiniest of the Mario characters. There are two types of Micro-Goomba: the ones that Paragoomba drops and the Pile Driver Micro-Goombas hidden under blocks. Both are formidable enemies that cannot be fooled.
