Goombas on floaties[1] first appear in Super Mario 3D World. They use the floaties to drift and swim across the water.

History

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

In Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Goombas on spiky floaties first appear in the level Pipeline Lagoon, and are also seen in Sprawling Savanna Rabbit Run. Normally, they are sleeping peacefully in the water, but if the player gets close, they wake up and paddle towards the player, damaging them if they touch them. They can be defeated with any attack.

In the Bowser's Fury campaign of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Cat Goombas riding on floaties appear.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

Goombas on spiky floaties return in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, appearing in water levels such as Floaty Fun Water Park and Goomba Galleon. They behave the same as in Super Mario 3D World.

Mario Kart Tour

Goombas on floaties make their Mario Kart series debut in the Singapore Speedway course from Mario Kart Tour. They appear in the pool on the rooftop of the Marina Bay Sands buildings, only in the regular and R variants of the course. Their floaties protect them from incoming obstacles, bouncing away drivers and Green Shells, and breaking Red Shells on contact. A Goomba in a floaty can be taken out using an item such as a Bob-omb or a Super Horn, or by driving into one while boosting with a Mushroom, while invincible, or while under the effects of a Mega Mushroom. When taken out, the Goomba and the floaty give points separately.

Floaties without Goombas appear in Singapore Speedway's Coin Rush mode. They are on the sidelines of the pool section with coins in-between them, and the track’s invisible delimitations prevent the player from interacting with them.
