Template:Species-infobox Goombeetles[1] (also referred to as metallic Goombas[2]) are a type of Goomba only found in Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are Goombas that wear protective helmets, which prevent them from being stomped on. They are sometimes described as being robotic Goombas.[3]
