Talk:Spiked Goomba

the MP7 "Spiky Goombas" wear Bowser Shell helmets, making them LOOK like Spiky Goombas. Max2 (talk)

Yeah... Paper Jorge (Talk·Contribs)

IT BURNS!

This will be the first page I'll fix up. Let me just un-stab my eyes...

Please note that this is part of my Trouble Center quest, so don't edit this page until I'm finished, please. ~LordKenny

don't remove the other templates >_> Great Gonzo

The templates are messy, space consuming, and repeat information that usually is written there anyway. However, thats just my opinion, and if you want them to stay on this page, then I will try to find the best place to put them. I do think though that it would be a better idea to just simply let the tattles speak for themselfs. ~LordKenny

Please put them back in and take out the tattle... Great Gonzo

I shall put them back in once I finish up writing everything for the article. They will be in there in the final product. ...Didn't the templates have the tattles in them? Bah.

Erm... I just sort of noticed that there isn't a Paper Mario template (that I know of). AND also, the Super Paper Mario template incorrectly says "Spiky" when the Goomba is "Spiked" in SPM. ~LordKenny

Ok, the Paper Mario template is there. Thanks for finding it. =) I'm still a bit concerned about the templates. ~Lord Kenny

I can't remember...

Were there any noteable Spiky Goombas? I can't really think of any. Except for that one in Rogueport Sewers at the start of PMTTYD. ~LordKenny

There was one in Paper Mario in Bowser's Castle; he didn't recognize Mario and sold him stuff, but he wasn't named. -- Sir Grodus

Template Probs

The Paper Mario AND Super Paper Mario Templates incorrectly call the enemy "Spiky Goomba", when in those games, they are called "Spiked Goomba"... How do I fix this? And, also, how do I get rid of the other Spiky Goomba pic? The page dosn't need two pics that look almost the same. The page now sort of looks more like a player's guide than a wiki page... ~Lord Kenny

Ok, after a lot of thinking, I have decided to keep the templates. I talked to some people about it, tried writing articles with and without them, and stuff like that. Well, we DO need the templates. However, we do NOT need them for all the stuff they display. HP, attack, defense, and number are all good, but the logs, tattles, and locations need to be in the article. I have told an admin this, and I am waiting for a response. ~LordKenny

Just leave the template as is. Great Gonzo

Can you give me a reason why that is longer than a single sentence? ~LordKenny

The templates were created for a purpose to hold and house information. It is boring to read. Tattle:That is Great Gonzo he likes Cheese. But put it in a template, add there location, health, items, and all make it exciting. They're useful and have been around for a very longtime. They are nicely colored, and make the page nice. How many other users have you talked to that dislike the templates? Its your opinon. Now just leave the templates alone and stop protesting. Great Gonzo

...As a member of this wiki, I have a right to say what I want about something. I'm simply trying to make something better. I'm not even protesting anymore... I'm simply discussing a way to improve the wiki. Stop making such a big deal about it. It's in the admins' hands now. On a lighter note, I like cheese, too. ~LordKenny

Im not making a big deal about it you are...the templates are fine and should simply be left alone. Great Gonzo

Thats not what I meant. I'm making a big deal about improving the templates. Your making a big deal about me wanting to improve the templates. I wrote a big article-size report on why they should be changed. You wrote a paragraph with poor grammar that basically told me to shut up. Its the admins' choice now, so stop acting like I'm going to change them myself. ~LordKenny

Hey. LordKenny, it doesn't matter if the grammar is good or bad. However, GG, you shouldn't deny him the right to want to change the template. I decided to move this page, case closed. Wa _T^C_@^Y 17:32, 5 May 2007 (EDT)

Where did you move it to? ~LordKenny

...

And now, the PM: TTYD has it wrong.

>_> Well, it IS better than before. Now its 2/3 right. ~LordKenny

Mario Party 7 Spiked Goomba?

Can someone add a picture/discription of this? Or at least the game it appears in? ~LordKenny

It appears in Bowser's level as one of the ones in the shop. Paper Jorge (Talk·Contribs)

Well, someone should find a pic. I'll add that fact into the article. ...What was Bowser's level called in that? I forgot. Bowser Nightmare? ~LordKenny

Nah that was in Mario Party 5. It was Bowser's Enchanted Inferno I believe. Look at the first post in this talk page for more info. Paper Jorge (Talk·Contribs)

Eh, I was close. =P ~LordKenny

Many different locations?

Pleasant Path is NOT many different locations. Do they also appear elsewhere? Paper Mario is the only Paper Mario game I don't have, so I can't search for them myself. ~LordKenny

They appear often in different areas at the start of the game. ^Plumber 17:11, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

Goombario Tattle: Potential Error?

In Goombario's tattle, it's stated that Spiked Goombas can cause "paralysis". I've played Paper Mario 64 quite a lot and never run into them causing paralysis.. is it programmed in? Or is it simply false? --Green Mario (talk) 23:11, November 17, 2019 (EST)

Sticker Star

In PM:SS, the "Spike Helmet" sticker looks exactly like the helmets Spiked Goombas wear. Someone needs to put this on the page. WillowTehKitsune (talk) 09:04, April 6, 2021 (EDT)

I just did. Not to be rude, but you could sometimes add these things yourself. Nightwicked Bowser 09:11, April 6, 2021 (EDT)

Sorry, I'm really new here, so I'm not super confident that I should be editing things yet. WillowTehKitsune (talk) 09:53, April 6, 2021 (EDT) EDIT: Where is it? I just checked the page to see where you wrote this, and it isn't showing up. EDIT THE SECOND: Nope, wait, I found it

Move to Spiky Goomba?

The remake still refers to them as Spiky Goombas which would mean that it would technically be their current name. ReeceeYT (talk) 20:20, June 13, 2024 (EDT)

Not sure, the remake kept the same name a lot of enemies had in the original (Swoops even go under the name "Swooper" in the remake which was their name at the time of the original). Nightwicked Bowser 20:53, June 13, 2024 (EDT)

I guess we sort of took a silent agreement to ignore unchanged names in Super Mario RPG and The Thousand-Year Door's remakes, but that runs counter to how we've been doing things. We've always considered non-emulated reissues to count as latest appearances and thus recent names. Maybe there needs to be a fine line as to what is "common" enough not to change: I'd throw Bowser's Castle, Yoshi's Island, Big Boo, and Stop Watch out there at least.
