Paragoombas, also known as Winged Goombas, are a variety of Goomba that possess small wings protruding from either their head or torso. Just as Koopa Paratroopas, Paragoombas will usually shed their wings and change into regular Goombas upon being stomped on the head.
History
Super Mario series
Super Mario Bros. 3
The first appearance of Paragoombas was in Super Mario Bros. 3, in which they appeared as somewhat common enemies. In Super Mario Bros. 3, Paragoombas would attack by either jumping at one of the Mario Bros., or by flying in the sky, dropping Micro-Goombas. Paragoombas that dropped Micro-Goombas were colored similar to a normal Goomba; they could also fly longer distances. The Paragoombas that would jump to attack were a reddish color; they could only perform short hops.
Super Mario World
In Super Mario World, Paragoombas, instead of being Goombas with wings, were portrayed as Goombas who utilized parachutes. Normal, winged Paragoombas do appear in Super Mario World as somewhat common enemies, though they were round and could only hop on the ground instead of fly; they were named as Winged Goombas in Super Mario World.
Like most Paragoombas, Winged Goombas' wings would be clipped after one jump, leaving them rendered as a normal Goomba. However, just as the normal Goombas in Super Mario World, stomping on them after their wings were gone would just render them helpless for a few moments, allowing the player to throw them at other enemies.
New Super Mario Bros.
Paragoombas appeared as very rare enemies in New Super Mario Bros.. They only appeared in a single level of World 2, 2-4, and in fact, only 2 of them appeared. They acted similar to how they did in Super Mario World – they would not take to the sky as they did in Super Mario Bros. 3. Two stomps killed them, one stomp turned them into regular Goombas, and a ground pound defeated them instantly.
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3
Paragoombas appeared in many episodes of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, such as "True Colors" and "Super Koopa", which featured them as underlings of King Bowser Koopa, as well as the Koopalings.
Super Mario World television series
In Super Mario World, Paragoombas only appeared once, in the show's series premier, "Fire Sale," where several Paragoombas appeared to attack Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Yoshi. This swarm of Paragoombas was eventually defeated by Mario, who knocked them away after jumping through the air. These Paragoombas had the facial design and lack of stem of the game's Winged Goombas, but were drawn with the usual mushroom-shaped heads; they did not have any visible shoes.
Super Mario Adventures
In Super Mario Adventures, a Winged Goomba makes a relatively minor appearance, being seen among the creatures sent by Bowser to attack Princess Toadstool's Castle.
Yoshi's Safari
In Yoshi's Safari, Paragoombas appear quite frequently as enemies. They attack Mario and Yoshi by charging into them, inflicting a minimal amount of damage. A Paragoomba in Yoshi's Safari could be defeated by shooting it with Mario's Super Scope once.
Paper Mario series
Paper Mario
Though absent from games for some time, Paragoombas made a reappearance in Paper Mario. They were enemies encountered early in the game, in Goomba Road. In Paper Mario, Paragoombas would attack by swooping downward. They could only be damaged by being jumped on or by having an item used against them. When Mario jumped on them, they lost their wings and became regular Goombas. In all, they are almost exactly the same as normal Goombas.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Paragoombas appear as enemies in several locations, such as Rogueport Sewers, Petal Meadows and Hooktail Castle. Just as in Paper Mario, the Paragoombas of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door are immune to attacks involving the use of a hammer, capable of only being harmed by a jump attack, item, or Crystal Star attack. One Paragoomba (who was named Paragoomba) played a somewhat large role in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door's plot as the one minion who informed Bowser that Mario had collected the last Crystal Star during the Koopa King's escapade in Poshley Heights.
Super Paper Mario
In Super Paper Mario, Paragoombas appear as basic enemies in Lineland, Gloam Valley, and The Bitlands. They can be defeated by such attacks as being jumped on, or by being attacked by a Pixl. By jumping on a Paragoomba, it will automatically lose its wings.
Super Princess Peach
Paragoombas also appear as enemies in Super Princess Peach. They again dropped Microgoombas, but this time, they completely weighed Peach down. This game also introduced Paragoombas that have been altered by the Vibe Scepter, Sad Paragoombas. Red Paragoombas returned, and they had their same trait as Super Mario Bros. 3 – Only hopping. But they could hop low and high. There was also a variety of vibe-indused Red Paragoombas – Mad Paragoombas. Both responded the same to attacks as Super Mario Bros. 3 Paragoombas and Red Paragoombas – one stomp would take away their wings.
Mario Baseball series
Mario Superstar Baseball
A Paragoomba became playable for the first time in the game Mario Superstar Baseball, which features a Goomba and a Paragoomba as a member of Donkey Kong's team.

Official Profiles and Statistics
Mario Superstar Baseball Bio
"A Goomba with wings. Just like Koopa Paratroopa, Paragoombas lose their wings and turn into Goombas if they get stepped on. The Goomba family is made up of expert bunters, although no one really makes a big deal out of it, bunting, after all, isn't all that glamorous."
