In haunted areas such as [[Ghostly Galaxy]], yet another type of Goomba appears that wears a pumpkin as a helmet, called Pumpkinhead Goombas. These pumpkin-wearing Goombas are capable of producing a small blue flame in an attempt to burn Mario; when the pumpkin is destroyed this ability is lost. Mario must [[Spinning|spin]] to break their Jack-o-Lantern helmets, then attack them. [[Ground Pound]]ing them also works. These Pumpkin-wearing Goomba bear a resemblance to the [[Splunkin]] enemy in ''New Super Mario Bros.''.

Pumpkinhead Goombas made their debut in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. They can be found in the [[Ghostly Galaxy]]. They are capable of producing small blue flames in an attempt to burn [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]), yet the ability is lost when their pumpkins are destroyed. To break their jack-o'-lantern helmets, Mario must [[spin]]. [[Ground Pound|Ground-pound]]ing a Pumpkinhead Goomba, however, destroys both the pumpkin helmet and the Goomba in one pound. Once the Pumpkinhead Goomba loses its pumpkin cover, it is simply a regular Goomba. If the player ground-pounds a Pumpkinhead Goomba after it just produced a blue flame, Mario will get burned if he touches it. Also, if one tries to jump on one, the pumpkin will not break. If Mario runs into a Pumpkinhead Goomba as [[Rainbow Mario]], only the pumpkin will break.
 
Pumpkinhead Goombas, along with other enemies, can be seen dancing with [[Toad (species)|Toads]] in the center of [[Toad Town]] during the game's ending.

Jack O'Goombas[1] (also formatted as Jack O' Goombas),[2] originally referred to as Pumpkinhead Goombas,[3] are enemies found in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. These enemies are Goombas that wear pumpkins over their heads. The enemies' name and appearance are derived from jack-o'-lanterns.

History[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

Pumpkinhead Goombas in the Ghostly Galaxy

Pumpkinhead Goombas made their debut in Super Mario Galaxy. They can be found in the Ghostly Galaxy. They are capable of producing small blue flames in an attempt to burn Mario (or Luigi), yet the ability is lost when their pumpkins are destroyed. To break their jack-o'-lantern helmets, Mario must spin. Ground-pounding a Pumpkinhead Goomba, however, destroys both the pumpkin helmet and the Goomba in one pound. Once the Pumpkinhead Goomba loses its pumpkin cover, it is simply a regular Goomba. If the player ground-pounds a Pumpkinhead Goomba after it just produced a blue flame, Mario will get burned if he touches it. Also, if one tries to jump on one, the pumpkin will not break. If Mario runs into a Pumpkinhead Goomba as Rainbow Mario, only the pumpkin will break.

Pumpkinhead Goombas, along with other enemies, can be seen dancing with Toads in the center of Toad Town during the game's ending.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

These enemies are not limited to haunted galaxies, being found in such places as the Clockwork Ruins Galaxy.
