The Goomba Bros.
- “Who is this Gonzales rookie? A cocky idiot, that's who! Waiting just makes us mad!”
- —Goomba Bros., Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Goomba Bros. are a group of five Goombas found in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. They are the first enemies Mario fights in Glitz Pit, where they are known as the "Meteorite Hardheads." Like most other fighters, they brag about how good they are and talk trash. However they are simply Goombas and the weakest enemies in Glitz Pit. The Goomba Bros. proved to be cheaters; they took a swing at Mario before the fight even began which resulted for an unavoidable first strike at Mario. The Goomba Bros. then say it was a warm up for Mario and he should be thanking them.
The Goomba Bros. are ranked 19th in the Glitz Pit but will be ranked 20th when Mario (known as The Great Gonzales) defeat them.
They are not to be confused with the Goomba King's minions, the Red and Blue Goombas.
