The '''Mega Goomba'''<ref>Loe, Casey. ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide. Page 14.</ref> is the boss of [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''


Before the battle, a seemingly regular [[Goomba]] walks on-screen before transforming into the Mega Goomba and commencing the battle. When it grows, it makes a sound similar to touching a [[Mega Mushroom]], only somewhat more menacing. [[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 the 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. It is possible to defeat the Mega Goomba without using the [[? Switch]]. To do this Mario or Luigi must perform [[Wall Jump]]s. If Mario is in his [[Fire Mario|Fire form]], he can also defeat the Mega Goomba if he stays on the far left area and shoots enough [[fireball]]s to defeat it; when the Mega Goomba approaches Mario on the far left side, it does not hurt Mario due to its mushroom-sized hitbox.
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 Ground Pounds the Mega Goomba three times (or nine times if Mario is in his [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini form]]), 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.

First appearance New Super Mario Bros. (2006)

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.
