{{Goombas}}
 
* This Goomba originated in the [[Beta Elements|very first previews]] of ''New Super Mario Bros.'' or as it was called back then, ''Super Mario Bros. DS'' in which it was a normal level enemy Goomba until it was caught in contact with a [[Mega Mushroom]] which made it the same size as it was in the current game. This new and innovative feature was taken out for unknown reasons, possibly due to the game being extremely hard if certain enemies turned mega.
 
* When the Mega Goomba grows, it makes a sound similar to Mario changing into Mega Mario, only it is somewhat more evil-sounding.

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.
