Template:Species-infobox Grand Goombas (also called Giant Goombas) are enormous Goombas that have appeared as semi-recurring enemies throughout the Mario series.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario Bros. 3

Grand Goombas made their first appearance in Super Mario Bros. 3 where they are only encountered in Big Island, along with Gargantua Koopa Troopas and the Piranhacus Giganticus, and despite their massive size, they do not pose much of a threat. Jumping on them just once or swinging Mario's tail with a Raccoon Suit or Tanooki Suit will defeat them just like regular Goombas. Grand Goombas were also present in the game's remakes, in Super Mario All-Stars and in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.

They appeared again in Super Mario 64 and its remake in Tiny-Huge Island. If the player entered or warped to the huge side, the Goombas would become Grand Goombas. These Goombas could only be defeated if jumped on, because punches and kicks don't affect them at all. Ground Pounding on them will produce a Blue Coin.

Super Mario Galaxy

In Super Mario Galaxy, a Grand Goomba serves as an enemy and must be defeated in the Gateway Galaxy to get a key in order to go inside the planet it lives on and retrieve the Grand Star. Grand Goombas appear much larger then they did previously.

Grand Goombas reappear in the game New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Here, when jumped on they split into two normal Goombas. A larger species called Mega Goombas also appear and are two times larger than a Grand Goomba. When a Mega Goomba is jumped on, it splits into two Grand Goombas. They appear in the World 1 Enemy Course and in World 8.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Grand Goombas return and they only appear in Supermassive Galaxy, along with Huge Paragoombas.

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3

In the episode "Princess Toadstool for President" Bowser and his son Cheatsy had a plague of Huge Paragoombas in a cage then release them to eat all of Grass Land, but when Bowser push a cage at Mario and Luigi they stomp on the two making them Grand Goomba, but the two Grand Goomba try to attack them but slam into each other. Their was an error on this episode where two more Huge Paragoomba try to attack them but slam into each other but they are seen as Grand Goomba but they suddenly disappear.

Nintendo Adventure Books

An unusually large Grand Goomba, thought to be the progenitor of the sub-species, appears in Koopa Capers, having been presumably brought to Dark Land by Wendy O. Koopa, who needed some of its leg hairs for a potion she intends to create. After crossing a Podoboo-infested body of lava in the Magma Pits, Luigi encounters the Grand Goomba wandering around aimlessly, and if he decides to crawl between its legs, he will go unnoticed by the giant fungus. If he decides to try and jump onto a nearby ledge instead however, the Grand Goomba will grab him mid-leap, stuff him in a sack, and begin to head home to the Land of the Giants, muttering that Luigi will make "a lovely plumber omelet".

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

The Grand Goomba (referred to as a Giant Goomba in the trophy description) later appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as an enemy in the Subspace Emissary that takes a few more hits to defeat than a regular Goomba. It is not to be confused with the Mega Goomba from New Super Mario Bros..

Grand Goombas are planned to appear in the upcoming Mario Kart game for the Nintendo 3DS.

It could be stopped like normal Goombas--by jumping on it from above. A colossal Goomba appears as the boss of world four in New Super Mario Bros., but that's a Mega Goomba, not a Giant Goomba.
