'''Megasparkle Goomba''' is a giant [[Goomba]] appearing as the boss of [[World 1 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 1]] in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. It is a massive Goomba that was formed by fifteen ordinary Goombas and a yellow-eyed Goomba that was corrupted by the [[Royal Sticker]]. The Goombas reside at [[Goomba Fortress]] and guard the red Royal Sticker. The corrupted Goomba bears a passing resemblance to the [[Goomboss|Goomba King]], albeit without the mustache.

When Mario and [[Kersti]] made it to the top of Goomba's Fortress, the corrupted Goomba greeted Mario and threatened to turn him into confetti. Kersti recognized the crown as a Royal Sticker and ordered him to give it back. The Goomba then reveals that Bowser gives him the order to guard the Royal Sticker and, with the Royal Sticker, he will become more powerful. The Goomba immediately ordered to other Goombas to attack Mario. At first, the Goombas attacked only by headbonking Mario, like regular Goombas, but soon the corrupted Goomba ordered the other Goombas to merge with him to become its more powerful form: the Megasparkle Goomba.

The corrupted Goomba became infuriated when they leave and tried to fiercely fight Mario of his own, but was about collapsing and so was easily defeated. The Goomba noticed how the power of the Royal Sticker felt like a "dazzling dream" and that he was powerless without it, then disappears, leaving Mario and Kersti the red Royal Sticker.

Megasparkle Goomba is a Goomba acting as the boss of World 1 in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. The boss itself is a large, flat, shiny Goomba made up of sixteen individual Goombas, with one in particular wearing a Royal Sticker. The Goombas reside at Goomba Fortress, and guard the red Royal Sticker.

History

Artwork of Megasparkle Goomba.

The sixteen Goombas that form it were once normal Goombas that resided at Goomba's Fortress. When Bowser accidentally broke the Sticker Comet and scattered the six Royal Stickers across the Mushroom Kingdom, the red Royal Sticker fell down to the top of the fortress. One curious Goomba grabbed it and became corrupted, sticking the Royal Sticker to his head and wearing it as a crown. The corrupted Goomba soon became the self-proclaimed boss of the Goombas and became obsessed with shiny and sparkly things. The Goomba ordered his Goombas to cause trouble in the grasslands and Decalburg, as the Goombas now had power from Bowser.

When Mario and Kersti make it to the top of Goomba's Fortress, the corrupted Goomba encounters Mario and threatens to turn him into confetti. Kersti recognizes the crown as a Royal Sticker and orders him to give it back. The Goomba then reveals that Bowser gave him the order to guard the Royal Sticker and, with the Royal Sticker, he will become more powerful. The Goomba immediately orders fifteen hidden Goombas to attack Mario. At first, the Goombas attack regularly, as a group, but soon, the corrupted Goomba orders the other Goombas to merge with him to become the more powerful Megasparkle Goomba.

When the battle draws near the end, the other Goombas decide that, since the corrupted Goomba had his body and mind changed by the Royal Sticker, that power was too much to handle. As a result, they leave the corrupted Goomba, stating that they prefer to be regular Goombas again. The corrupted Goomba becomes infuriated when they leave and tries to fight Mario on his own. After being easily defeated, this Goomba notices how the power of the Royal Sticker felt like a "dazzling dream" and that he was powerless without it, then disappears, leaving Mario and Kersti the Royal Sticker.

In the ending parade, Megasparkle Goomba is shown as part of a float along with all the other bosses corrupted by the Royal Stickers. Megasparkle Goomba repeatedly switches between its Megasparkle Goomba form and the sixteen Goombas it consists of.
