The Mega Goomba[1][2] is the boss of World 4 in New Super Mario Bros. Mega Goomba is fought in World 4-Castle. Just before the battle starts, Mega Goomba is first shown to be a regular Goomba, and it walks onscreen before transforming into the Mega Goomba. While growing, Mega Goomba makes a sound similar to touching a Mega Mushroom. To defeat the Mega Goomba, Mario (or Luigi) can activate a ? Switch, causing two platforms to appear. When Mario stands on a platform, it will elevate in the air. From there, Mario has to ground-pound onto the Mega Goomba to attack it. Alternatively, Mega Mario, Shell Mario's Shell Dash technique, or Fire Mario's fireballs can also damage Mega Goomba. If the Mega Goomba approaches Mario on the far left or right side, it does not hurt him due to its mushroom-sized hitbox. It takes three ground-pounds to defeat the Mega Goomba, or nine if Mario is in his Mini form. When Mega Goomba is defeated, the key to World 5 is released.
In the very first footage of New Super Mario Bros., the Mega Goomba was a normal Goomba until it came into contact with a mushroom. A similar concept was later used for the Mega Koopa in Super Paper Mario.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Mega Goomba is mentioned in the Giant Goomba's trophy description.
