A '''Goomba's Shoe''' (or '''Goomba's shoe'''), also known as the '''Shoe''', is a large, green-colored boot with a wind-up key sticking out of the back of it. It is worn by a [[Shoe Goomba]]. It is one of the most uncommon of all the [[list of power-ups|power-ups]] in the entire [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], and made its first game appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.
 
The Goomba's Shoe was originally known in the PRG0 English NES release as '''Kuribo's shoe'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=Spring 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''NES Game Atlas''|page=39}}</ref> (also formatted as '''Kuribo's Shoe'''),<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13|page=46-47|date=June 1990|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Peterson, Erik|title=''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Player's Guide|page=66|date=2003|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|isbn=1930206-37-2}}</ref> also known as '''Kuribo's Boot''',<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J.|title=''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|date=October 21, 2003|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|page=65|isbn=0-7615-4425-9}}</ref> with "Kuribo" being the Japanese name of [[Goomba]] left unchanged. The name was correctly translated as Goomba's shoe in the PRG1 English NES localization. The name is localized in the re-releases of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and the [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Game Boy Advance remake]], but the item has been called Kuribo's Shoe again in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', due to it being derived from the PRG0 localization.<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|title=[[tcrf:Super Mario Bros. 3/Version Differences#Princess's Letter|Super Mario Bros. 3/Version Differences § Princess's Letter]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=August 23, 2023}}</ref>

The first appearance of the Goomba's Shoe is in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', where they appear solely in [[World 5-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 5-3]]. The [[Shoe Goomba|Kuribo's Goomba]]s of this level hop around aimlessly in Goomba's Shoes. If [[jump]]ed on by [[Mario]], they are defeated without leaving their shoe behind; however, if Mario attacks one of these Goombas from below, the Goomba is knocked from the shoe, allowing Mario to hop into the shoe and ride in it himself as '''Kuribo's Shoe Mario'''.<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J.|title=''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|date=October 21, 2003|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|page=10|isbn=0-7615-4425-9}}</ref> In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', there is an [[e-Reader]] level called "[[It's a Shoe-In]]" that uses the Goomba's Shoe. In that level, it can also appear from [[? Block]]s like a normal power-up.
 
[[File:Goomba Shoe Perfect.png|thumb|upright=0.75|A Kuribo's Goomba from the ''[[Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten]]''.]]
Once wearing a Goomba's Shoe, Mario is able to easily hop across [[Spike Trap|spike]]s and sharp-toothed or spiky [[List of enemies|enemies]], such as [[Muncher]]s and [[Spiny|Spinies]]. Once the end of the level is reached, though, Mario loses the Goomba's Shoe. In the original Japanese version, a hit also causes Mario to shrink to [[Small Mario]] in addition to losing the shoe. However, if the player is already small, Mario only loses the shoe, as in the international versions of the games.
 
In several of the [[list of Super Mario Bros. 3 pre-release and unused content|unused]] levels of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Goomba's Shoes can be found and used. A Goomba's Shoe can also defeat other enemies that do not appear in World 5-3, such as [[Lava Bubble|Podoboo]]s, [[Roto-Disc]]s, [[Chain Chomp]]s, and [[Lava Lotus]]es, as well as [[Fire Snake|Firesnake]]s if positioned correctly.<ref>{{cite|author=Blue Television Games|date=May 12, 2021|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMFDsPidhMM&t=149s|timestamp=02:29|title=What Can Mario Boot?!|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=October 18, 2021}}</ref>
 
The Goomba's Shoe is one of the few power-ups not mentioned in any of the instruction booklets for the original game, its remakes, or the [[Virtual Console]] Operations Guide.

{{main|Ice Skate}}
While the Goomba's Shoe itself is not seen in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', a similar power-up called the Ice Skate that can be used to skate on frozen lakes is present. Both playable characters and Goombas can ride them. These shoes change color depending on which character is riding them.

After being absent from the series for 22 years, the Shoe reappears in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. It can be used only in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' styles, with the [[Yoshi's Egg]] replacing it in the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' styles. The Shoe cannot be placed on its own; instead, a [[Shoe Goomba]] must be placed into a level. Unlike in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Shoe Goombas will always leave their shoes behind, regardless of how they were defeated; additionally, the Shoe can be dismounted, but an empty Shoe disappears after a short while. Like [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], the Shoe allows the player to run across [[Spike Trap]]s and [[Muncher]]s and bounce on [[Grinder]]s without taking damage, as well as jump on sharp-toothed and spiky enemies such as [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Spiny|Spinies]], [[Spike Top]]s, and [[Bowser]].
A '''Goomba's Shoe''' is a large, green-colored boot with a wind-up key sticking out of the back of it; it is one of the most uncommon of all the power-ups in all of the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]], and made its first game appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', with the latest appearance in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. It was originally known in English as '''Kuribo's Shoe''', with "Kuribo" being the Japanese name of [[Goomba]] left unchanged. The name is translated in the re-releases of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and the [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Game Boy Advance remake]], but the item has been called Kuribo's Shoe again in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''.
 
A giant version of the Shoe can be used by placing a [[Super Mushroom]] over a Shoe Goomba. Big Shoes can [[Ground Pound]] by pressing down on the {{button|Paddown}} Control Pad while in midair. This attack can defeat normally indestructible enemies such as [[Muncher]]s, [[Bill Blaster]]s and [[Boo]]s. Upon impact, two chomping clouds appear on either side of the Goomba's Shoe and briefly move to the left and right before disappearing. The clouds can defeat any enemies that they touch. A similar chomping cloud effect can be seen in files for the unreleased game ''[[List of unreleased media#Super Donkey|Super Donkey]]'', which precedes the first ''Super Mario Maker'' by about 18 or 19 years.
 
Adding [[wings]] to a Shoe allows the player to flutter into the air while wearing one by holding the jump button, gaining extra distance akin to Yoshi's [[Flutter Jump]].
 
A {{wp|Stiletto heel|stiletto}} [[Goomba's Shoe (stiletto)|variant]] of the Shoe was also introduced, which functions the same as the regular Goomba's Shoe, but with certain abilities that the regular Goomba's Shoe cannot perform.
{{br}}
 
====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Goomba's Shoes return in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' retaining their behavior in its predecessor. However, the giant version is now able to stun other players in multiplayer modes.
 
===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', the two recurring [[Goomba]]s are briefly seen hiding in a giant shoe of somewhat similar design to a Goomba's Shoe; however, as the film's release precedes ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' by over two years, the shoe's design is likely a coincidence.
 
===''Super Mario-kun''===
In volume 3 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Mario steals a shoe from a powered-up [[Rex]] and wears it as a Goomba's Shoe. The bad smell from the Rex's feet sickens Mario, however, and the enraged Rex pummels him.
 
===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
[[File:SuperKoopaEpisode.jpg|thumb|Super Koopa in a Karoobi in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Super Koopa (episode)|Super Koopa]]".]]
In the opening sequence of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Mario uses a Goomba's Shoe to stomp away [[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy Koopa]] and [[Ludwig von Koopa|Kooky von Koopa]]. Their only episode appearance is in "[[Super Koopa (episode)|Super Koopa]]". During the episode, they are referred to as '''Karoobis''', a mispronunciation of Kuribo.


==History==
===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''===
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
{{main|Sockop}}
[[File:GoombaShoeMarioSpinyOriginal.png|thumb|left|[[Mario]] jumping on a [[Spiny]] with the '''Goomba's Shoe'''.]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', the enemy [[Sockop]] is very similar to a Goomba's Shoe, especially when [[Luigi]] is walking around in it. One Sockop is even named Kuribo, as a reference to the original localized name of the Goomba's Shoe.
[[File:Kuribo Mario SMB3.PNG|frame|right]]
The first appearance of the Goomba's Shoe was in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', where they explicitly appeared in [[The Sky#5-3|World 5-3]]. The Goombas of this level would hop around aimlessly in Goomba's Shoes and if [[jump]]ed on by Mario, would be defeated; however, if Mario was to attack one of these Goombas from below, the Goomba will be knocked from the shoe and Mario could take it and ride in it. In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', there is an unreleased [[e-Reader]] level called "[[Kutsu o Haite GO! GO!|With Boots On, GO! GO!]]"  that uses the Goomba's Shoe and adds it coming out of blocks in that level, like a normal power-up.


Once wearing a Goomba's Shoe, Mario will be able to easily hop across spikes and sharp-toothed or spiky [[enemies]], such as [[Muncher]]s and [[Spiny|Spinies]]. Once the end of the level is reached, though, Mario will lose the Goomba's Shoe. In the original Japanese version, a hit will also cause Mario to shrink to [[Small Mario]] in addition to losing the shoe. However, if the player was already small, Mario will only lose the shoe, as in the international versions of the games.
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Super Paper Mario''====
While no actual Goomba's Shoes appear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', one [[Sammer Guy]] is called the [[List of Sammer Guys#Shoe of Kuribo|Shoe of Kuribo]], a reference to the Goomba's Shoe's original name.


In several of the [[List of Super Mario Bros. 3 beta elements|unused]] levels of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Goomba's Shoes can be found and used.
====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
[[File:SuperbootPMSS.png|thumb|[[Super Boot]] sticker from ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'']]
[[File:Clone Jump Sticker PMSS.png|150px|thumb|left|Clone Jump sticker from ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'']]
While the Goomba's Shoe does not appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', there are two sets of stickers that are similar to it.


In the original version and the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] remake, on the rare occasion that Mario should be wearing the [[Tanooki Suit]], entering a Goomba's Shoe allows the normally stationary Statue Mario to become mobile, while retaining invincibility.<ref>Demonstrated in a recent 25th anniversary Super Tips video.</ref>
The [[Super Boot]] and [[Shiny Super Boot]] stickers have a similar appearance to the Goomba's Shoe, but lack the wind-up key on the back. They can be bought at [[Outlook Point]], and when using them, they stick to Mario, making him look as if he is wearing the boot. By pressing {{button|3ds|A}}, Mario can dodge most attacks with the boot. The boot also allows Mario to stomp spiked enemies, and also increases the power of other Jump attacks used when the boot is in effect.
However, this ability was fixed in ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' so when attempting to enter Goomba's Shoe while a statue, Mario will revert to Tanooki Mario.


In the [[Virtual Console]] re-release, the Goomba's Shoe is not mentioned in the Operations Guide. It was not mentioned in the manuals for the original game or its remakes either.
The [[Flashy Clone Jump]], [[Big Shiny Clone Jump]], and [[Megaflash Clone Jump]] resemble the Goomba's Shoe more closely by retaining the wind-up key on the back, but provide a very different function. While using a Clone Jump, Mario is cloned three times, resulting in four Marios who attack in succession, jumping on an enemy one after another. Each Clone Jump sticker has the possibility of [[Crumpled|Crumpling]] the attacked enemy.

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
[[File:SuperKoopaEpisode.jpg|thumb|Super Koopa in a "Karoobi's Shoe" from ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.]]
The [[Boot Car]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'' is a vehicle that resembles a Goomba's Shoe. Mario can ride it in the [[Scorching Sandpaper Desert]]. There is also a Shoe Goomba [[Folded Soldiers|Folded Soldier]] that can be fought in the [[Breezy Tunnel]].
Goomba's Shoes only appeared in the episode "[[Super Koopa (The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode)|Super Koopa]]" of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', despite also appearing in the show's opening sequence. During the episode, they were referred to as '''Karoobi's Shoes''', a mispronounciation of Kuribo's Shoes.


===''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''===
===''Mario Kart Tour''===
After over twenty-four years of absence, Goomba's Shoes return as uncommon stickers in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. Here, they are named '''Super Boots''' and can be bought at [[Outlook Point]]. By pressing {{button|3ds|A}}, Mario can dodge most attacks with the boot. The boot also allows Mario to stomp spiked enemies, and also increases the power of other Jump attacks used when the boot is in effect. Shiny versions of this sticker appear as well, also for sale at Outlook Point.
In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', Goombas use shoes to kick [[Soccer Ball]]s around the {{wp|Santiago Bernabéu Stadium}} on the [[Madrid Drive]] course and its variants. These shoes have similar properties to the [[Innertube Goomba|floaties]] worn by Goombas in other courses, thereby offering the Goombas some protection from racers: they bounce away racers who drive into them and can also repel a number of offensive items, such as [[Green Shell]]s, [[Red Shell]]s, [[Fire Flower]]s, [[Ice Flower]]s, [[Yoshi's Egg]]s, and [[Birdo's Egg]]s. However, the shoes can be launched in the air by hitting them with a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]], [[Bowser's Shell]], [[Super Horn]], [[Giga Bob-omb]] or [[Super Bell]], or by running into them while under the effects of a [[Mega Mushroom]] or a [[Bullet Bill]]; when this is done, the Goomba inside the shoe is also taken out, with the Goomba and its shoe awarding bonus points separately. Unlike the aforementioned floaties, shoes are not affected by drivers who ram into them while boosting from a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]].


Also, the Clone Jump stickers resemble a Goomba's Shoe with a wind-up on the back, which was mistaken for the Goomba's Shoe itself in development phases.
The shoes in this game are yellow, much like the [[Ice Skate]] Goombas are wearing in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', rather than the usual green color they commonly have.


===Other===
===Unused appearances===
The [[Thwomp Stomper]]s of the [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' movie]] may be loosely based on the Goomba's Shoe.
====''Super Mario Galaxy'' / ''Super Mario 3D Land''====
The Goomba's Shoe was considered to reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and later ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', but this idea was scrapped as the developers were unsure of how to use it in new gameplay experiences.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=yes|author=Parish, Jeremy|date=March 8, 2012|title=Super Mario 3D Land: Game Design Before Fan Service|publisher=1UP.com|accessdate=March 17, 2018|archive=web.archive.org/web/20160910154048/http://www.1up.com/news/mario-3d-land-triumph-game?pager.offset=1}}</ref>


==References in Later Games==

*In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', one [[Sammer Guy]] is called Shoe of Kuribo. Also, the ability of the ''Super Paper Mario'' [[Pixl]] [[Carrie]] can be thought of as vaguely similar to that of the Goomba's Shoe, as Carrie, too, allows [[player]]s to stomp on spiked enemies such as Piranha Plants and Spinies and allows them to glide over spikes.
<gallery>
*In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', the enemy [[Sockop]] is very similar to a Goomba's Shoe, especially when [[Luigi]] is walking around in it. One Sockop is even named [[Kuribo]] as a reference to the mistranslation.

==Trivia==
*In Brazilian dubbing for the episode "[[Super Koopa (The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode)|Super Koopa]]" of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Mario calls the Goomba's Shoe "seven-league boot", probably alluding to European folklore. The original seven-league boots are used for running, not jumping, however.
*Even though Goomba's Shoes are green and [[Spiny|Spinies]] are red, the original artwork for ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' reversed the two colors.
*In ''[[wikirby:Kirby's Return to Dream Land|Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', [[Kirby]] can ride in a similar looking shoe with spikes on the soles and a blue color scheme. Its function is very similar to the Goomba's Shoe, which is stomping on harmful objects. Unlike the Goomba's Shoe, it is used for a limited duration of time, no enemy has to be defeated before riding it, and it appears in more than one level.
*The Nintendo Power Strategy Guide for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' refers to the Goomba in the shoe as "Kuribo's Goomba", essentially meaning "Goomba's Goomba"
*Goomba's Shoe was set to re-appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', but this idea was scrapped for unknown reasons<ref>[http://www.1up.com/news/mario-3d-land-triumph-game?pager.offset=1 1Up.com - Super Mario 3D Land: Game Design Before Fan Service]</ref>.

Latest revision as of 00:54, October 17, 2024

It has been suggested that this page be moved to shoe. Reason: in-game name (either this or "Goomba's shoe") (discuss)

This article is about the item. For the enemy, see Shoe Goomba.

A Goomba's Shoe (or Goomba's shoe), also known as the Shoe, is a large, green-colored boot with a wind-up key sticking out of the back of it. It is worn by a Shoe Goomba. It is one of the most uncommon of all the power-ups in the entire Super Mario franchise, and made its first game appearance in Super Mario Bros. 3.

The Goomba's Shoe was originally known in the PRG0 English NES release as Kuribo's shoe[1] (also formatted as Kuribo's Shoe),[2][3] also known as Kuribo's Boot,[4] with "Kuribo" being the Japanese name of Goomba left unchanged. The name was correctly translated as Goomba's shoe in the PRG1 English NES localization. The name is localized in the re-releases of Super Mario Bros. 3 and the Game Boy Advance remake, but the item has been called Kuribo's Shoe again in Super Mario All-Stars, due to it being derived from the PRG0 localization.[5]

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Mario jumping on a Spiny with the Goomba's Shoe.
NES version
Super Mario All-Stars version

The first appearance of the Goomba's Shoe is in Super Mario Bros. 3, where they appear solely in World 5-3. The Kuribo's Goombas of this level hop around aimlessly in Goomba's Shoes. If jumped on by Mario, they are defeated without leaving their shoe behind; however, if Mario attacks one of these Goombas from below, the Goomba is knocked from the shoe, allowing Mario to hop into the shoe and ride in it himself as Kuribo's Shoe Mario.[6] In Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, there is an e-Reader level called "It's a Shoe-In" that uses the Goomba's Shoe. In that level, it can also appear from ? Blocks like a normal power-up.

A Kuribo's Goomba from the Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten.

Once wearing a Goomba's Shoe, Mario is able to easily hop across spikes and sharp-toothed or spiky enemies, such as Munchers and Spinies. Once the end of the level is reached, though, Mario loses the Goomba's Shoe. In the original Japanese version, a hit also causes Mario to shrink to Small Mario in addition to losing the shoe. However, if the player is already small, Mario only loses the shoe, as in the international versions of the games.

In several of the unused levels of Super Mario Bros. 3, Goomba's Shoes can be found and used. A Goomba's Shoe can also defeat other enemies that do not appear in World 5-3, such as Podoboos, Roto-Discs, Chain Chomps, and Lava Lotuses, as well as Firesnakes if positioned correctly.[7]

The Goomba's Shoe is one of the few power-ups not mentioned in any of the instruction booklets for the original game, its remakes, or the Virtual Console Operations Guide.

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

Main article: Ice Skate

While the Goomba's Shoe itself is not seen in Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, a similar power-up called the Ice Skate that can be used to skate on frozen lakes is present. Both playable characters and Goombas can ride them. These shoes change color depending on which character is riding them.

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

Super Mario Bros. style
Super Mario Bros. 3 style

After being absent from the series for 22 years, the Shoe reappears in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS. It can be used only in the Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3 styles, with the Yoshi's Egg replacing it in the Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U styles. The Shoe cannot be placed on its own; instead, a Shoe Goomba must be placed into a level. Unlike in Super Mario Bros. 3, Shoe Goombas will always leave their shoes behind, regardless of how they were defeated; additionally, the Shoe can be dismounted, but an empty Shoe disappears after a short while. Like Yoshi, the Shoe allows the player to run across Spike Traps and Munchers and bounce on Grinders without taking damage, as well as jump on sharp-toothed and spiky enemies such as Piranha Plants, Spinies, Spike Tops, and Bowser.

A giant version of the Shoe can be used by placing a Super Mushroom over a Shoe Goomba. Big Shoes can Ground Pound by pressing down on the +Control Pad down Control Pad while in midair. This attack can defeat normally indestructible enemies such as Munchers, Bill Blasters and Boos. Upon impact, two chomping clouds appear on either side of the Goomba's Shoe and briefly move to the left and right before disappearing. The clouds can defeat any enemies that they touch. A similar chomping cloud effect can be seen in files for the unreleased game Super Donkey, which precedes the first Super Mario Maker by about 18 or 19 years.

Adding wings to a Shoe allows the player to flutter into the air while wearing one by holding the jump button, gaining extra distance akin to Yoshi's Flutter Jump.

A stiletto variant of the Shoe was also introduced, which functions the same as the regular Goomba's Shoe, but with certain abilities that the regular Goomba's Shoe cannot perform.

Super Mario Maker 2[edit]

Goomba's Shoes return in Super Mario Maker 2 retaining their behavior in its predecessor. However, the giant version is now able to stun other players in multiplayer modes.

Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen![edit]

In Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!, the two recurring Goombas are briefly seen hiding in a giant shoe of somewhat similar design to a Goomba's Shoe; however, as the film's release precedes Super Mario Bros. 3 by over two years, the shoe's design is likely a coincidence.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

In volume 3 of Super Mario-kun, Mario steals a shoe from a powered-up Rex and wears it as a Goomba's Shoe. The bad smell from the Rex's feet sickens Mario, however, and the enraged Rex pummels him.

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Super Koopa
Super Koopa in a Karoobi in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Super Koopa".

In the opening sequence of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, Mario uses a Goomba's Shoe to stomp away Cheatsy Koopa and Kooky von Koopa. Their only episode appearance is in "Super Koopa". During the episode, they are referred to as Karoobis, a mispronunciation of Kuribo.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story[edit]

Main article: Sockop

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, the enemy Sockop is very similar to a Goomba's Shoe, especially when Luigi is walking around in it. One Sockop is even named Kuribo, as a reference to the original localized name of the Goomba's Shoe.

Paper Mario series[edit]

Super Paper Mario[edit]

While no actual Goomba's Shoes appear in Super Paper Mario, one Sammer Guy is called the Shoe of Kuribo, a reference to the Goomba's Shoe's original name.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star[edit]

Super Boot sticker from Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Clone Jump sticker
Clone Jump sticker from Paper Mario: Sticker Star

While the Goomba's Shoe does not appear in Paper Mario: Sticker Star, there are two sets of stickers that are similar to it.

The Super Boot and Shiny Super Boot stickers have a similar appearance to the Goomba's Shoe, but lack the wind-up key on the back. They can be bought at Outlook Point, and when using them, they stick to Mario, making him look as if he is wearing the boot. By pressing A Button, Mario can dodge most attacks with the boot. The boot also allows Mario to stomp spiked enemies, and also increases the power of other Jump attacks used when the boot is in effect.

The Flashy Clone Jump, Big Shiny Clone Jump, and Megaflash Clone Jump resemble the Goomba's Shoe more closely by retaining the wind-up key on the back, but provide a very different function. While using a Clone Jump, Mario is cloned three times, resulting in four Marios who attack in succession, jumping on an enemy one after another. Each Clone Jump sticker has the possibility of Crumpling the attacked enemy.

Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]

The Boot Car in Paper Mario: The Origami King is a vehicle that resembles a Goomba's Shoe. Mario can ride it in the Scorching Sandpaper Desert. There is also a Shoe Goomba Folded Soldier that can be fought in the Breezy Tunnel.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

In Mario Kart Tour, Goombas use shoes to kick Soccer Balls around the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on the Madrid Drive course and its variants. These shoes have similar properties to the floaties worn by Goombas in other courses, thereby offering the Goombas some protection from racers: they bounce away racers who drive into them and can also repel a number of offensive items, such as Green Shells, Red Shells, Fire Flowers, Ice Flowers, Yoshi's Eggs, and Birdo's Eggs. However, the shoes can be launched in the air by hitting them with a Spiny Shell, Bowser's Shell, Super Horn, Giga Bob-omb or Super Bell, or by running into them while under the effects of a Mega Mushroom or a Bullet Bill; when this is done, the Goomba inside the shoe is also taken out, with the Goomba and its shoe awarding bonus points separately. Unlike the aforementioned floaties, shoes are not affected by drivers who ram into them while boosting from a Mushroom.

The shoes in this game are yellow, much like the Ice Skate Goombas are wearing in Super Mario 3D World, rather than the usual green color they commonly have.

Unused appearances[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy / Super Mario 3D Land[edit]

The Goomba's Shoe was considered to reappear in Super Mario Galaxy and later Super Mario 3D Land, but this idea was scrapped as the developers were unsure of how to use it in new gameplay experiences.[8]
