Mega Goomba
Grand Goombas (also called Giant Goombas) are enormous Goombas that have appeared as semi-recurring enemies throughout the Mario series.
History
Super Mario series
Super Mario Bros. 3
Grand Goombas made their first appearance in Super Mario Bros. 3 where they are only encountered in Giant Land, along with Gargantua Koopa Troopas and the Piranhacus Giganticus, and despite their massive size, they do not pose much of a threat. Jumping on them just once or swinging Mario's tail with a Raccoon Suit or Tanooki Suit will defeat them just like regular Goombas. Grand goombas were also present in the game's remakes, in Super Mario All-Stars and in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.
Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS
They appeared again in Super Mario 64 and its remake in Tiny-Huge Island. If the player entered or warped to the huge side, the Goombas would become Grand Goombas. These Goombas could only be defeated if jumped on, because punches and kicks don't affect them at all. Ground Pounding on them will produce a Blue Coin.
Super Mario Galaxy
In Super Mario Galaxy, a Grand Goomba serves as an enemy and must be defeated in the Gateway Galaxy to get a key in order to go inside the planet it lives on and retrieve the Grand Star.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Grand Goombas reappear in the game New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Here, when jumped on they split into two normal Goombas. Mega Goombas also reappear. When a Mega Goomba is jumped on, it splits into two Grand Goombas.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Grand Goombas return and they only appear in Supermassive Galaxy, along with Huge Paragoombas.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
The Grand Goomba (referred to as a Giant Goomba in the trophy description) later appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as an enemy in the Subspace Emissary that takes a few more hits to defeat than a regular Goomba. It is not to be confused with the Mega Goomba from New Super Mario Bros..
Mario Kart (Nintendo 3DS)
Grand Goombas are also going to appear in the upcoming Mario Kart game for the Nintendo 3DS.

---|---|---|---|
Giant Goomba | File:TrGiant goomba.jpg | N64 Super Mario 64 | A giant-sized Goomba, as the name suggests. In Super Mario 64, punching and kicking had no effect on this brute. It could be stopped like normal Goombas--by jumping on it from above. A colossal Goomba appears as the boss of world four in New Super Mario Bros., but that's a Mega Goomba, not a Giant Goomba. |
