Cat Goombas,[1] also written lowercase as cat Goombas,[2] are enemies appearing primarily in Super Mario 3D World and its port. They are a furry, catlike variant of a Goomba mirroring Cat Mario as an enemy form.

History[edit]

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]

Cat Goombas attack by jumping, then diving down, in the same way that Cat Mario can. Like Mario, they meow when doing this. They can be defeated with any attack, and sometimes drop a Super Bell when defeated.

In Lake Lapcat in Bowser's Fury, there are brown Cat Goombas that are slightly less "furrier",[3] but like the other enemies, their cat appearance is only an aesthetic difference and they do not gain any new abilities. As such, these Cat Goombas behave like regular Goombas (i.e. chasing the player as soon as they spot them).

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker[edit]

Cat Goombas appear in the returning Super Bell Hill stage in the Wii U version of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, also returning their behavior.

LEGO Super Mario[edit]

A Cat Goomba appears in the Cat Peach Suit and Frozen Tower LEGO Super Mario expansion set, which released on August 1, 2022. Two Cat Goombas also appear in Character Pack Series 6, which was released in 2023.
