In the Kodansha adaptation, they are specifically depicted as the ghosts of Masked Ghouls.[3]

Trivia

  • Ghost Goombas have an unused sprite of them being squished, supposedly from being stomped.[7]
  • In a KC Deluxe mini-guide, Ghost Goombas are referred to as the ghost of Goombo.[8] In actuality, Ghost Goombas are approximately the size of regular Goombas and even slightly bigger than the game's Boos.
  • A Ghost Goomba appears in the concept art of Super Mario Odyssey, suggesting they may have been planned to appear in the game somewhere early in development.[9]
