Spiked Goombas, also known as Spiky Goombas, are Goombas that have thought of a creative way to avoid being squished by Mario. They wear green helmets similar to Spike Top shells to prevent Jump moves from working, covering the common Goomba's weakness. They are tougher than regular Goombas and Paragoombas making the Spiky Goomba the strongest of the Goomba family tree. While their helmets are a great defense against jumps, they're still defenseless against most other attacks. Mario's Hammer or Bowser's fire breath are two good examples. A similar Goomba to the Spiked Goomba appears in Mario Party 7 in a shop in Bowser's Enchanted Inferno!.
