Talk:Grand Goomba
Wait a second, on the Mega Goomba article, it also says there's a Mega Goomba as a boss in Galaxy... Mr. Guy the Guy
Talk!
Mega Goomba is a boss, so it can't be in Galaxy as a species.Knife (talk) 13:12, 12 January 2008 (EST)

Okay, I bet there will be lots of opposes, but I don't care; I think Giant Goomba information should be split from this article. I started to think about it when I read the first appearance of Giant Goombas in SSBB's trophy description, which contains Super Mario 64 (And YES, I am aware that SSBB trophy descriptions contain errors, like Baby Mario's doesn't have overalls. This changed in Europe to a 'stache, but that Giant Goomba's first appearance is still the same). Grand Goombas first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3, so it sounded kinda fishy.
I've done some more research, and I think it really should be split after that. Grand Goombas are twice as large as normal Goombas, thus as tall as Super Mario and twice as large as Small Mario. In Super Mario 64, Mario can be assumed to be Super Mario. He's as tall as his grown form, and Goombas are twice as short. But those Giant Goombas are twice as tall as Super Mario, meaning that they might not be the same as Grand Goombas.
This also means the Super Mario Galaxy appearances of Grand Goombas are actually from Giant Goombas, since they appear to be much larger than Goombas itself. This does mean as well that Grand Paragoomba need to split from just-mentioned article and Giant Paragoomba, as that appears in SMG2, where Giant Goombas are also much larger than Goombas.
Additional info from Mega Goomba (specifically, the New Super Mario Bros. Wii info, not the DS) can be merged into Giant Goomba. Mega Goomba is supposed to be a a boss who appeared as a regular small foe, but has grown itself to a very huge size, in similar concepts as Mega Mario. The article states they are a species that also appeared in the Wii sequel. However, how can they be the same (species) if they have different sizes? Was it stated anywhere those large Goombas in NSMBW are Mega Goombas? I think they're Giant Goombas, as I researched Giant Goombas are bigger than Grand Goombas. And since Grand Goombas also appeared in NSMBW, this might lead to this split. It generally fits well.
This is why I want to split Grand Goomba and Giant Goomba. As I said before, this proposal is probably going to fail, but I've at least facts to prove they're not the same. Any (other) thoughts?

Support (Banana) Split
- Arend (talk) - Per me.
- Mikiuz (talk) - In Italy Grand Goombas are called Gran Goomba, the Mega Goomba of NSMB it's named Mega Goomba and that giant Goombas of NSMBWii are called Goomba Giganti (Giant Goombas)
Oppose, Keep it Merged
- Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! Characters sizes change overtime, so your proposal is saying that we should split some information of Petey Piranha's and Bowser's article because their size changed in some games, plus they both serve the same function, acting like a goomba but at the same time being big. Zero signing out.
- FourPaperHeroes (talk) Per Zero777.

- Bowser's luma (talk) Ahh, the fart noise. Keep it merged wins.
Discussion & Comments
@Zero777: So you want Grand Goomba and Mega Goomba (the species) be merged to Goomba, as they're actually bigger Goombas without any special ability? Also, character sizes usually never change in 2D games. Grand Goombas stay twice as big as a normal Goomba, and Koopas are still 1,5 times as tall as Goombas. Arend (talk)
