Mega Goombas, also known as Giant Goombas, are giant-sized Goombas that have appeared as recurring bosses throughout the Super Mario franchise. They are generally significantly larger than Big Goombas.
History
Super Mario series
New Super Mario Bros.
Mega Goombas first appear in New Super Mario Bros., where one serves as a boss in World 4-Castle. It is shown to be a regular Goomba, before growing into a gigantic size, alongside the sound of a Mega Mushroom.
Super Mario Galaxy / Super Mario Galaxy 2
Despite appearing significantly larger than normal in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, the giant Goomba enemies are classified as Big Goombas.
Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games
A giant Goomba appears as a boss in Ultimate Figure Skating in the Nintendo DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. It appears as the boss for the Mario, Mario & Sonic and Mario & Sonic Download medleys, and can be defeated by performing step attacks.
Mario Golf: World Tour
A giant Goomba appears in Mario Golf: World Tour on Hole 2 of Wiggler Park. Because it appears behind the green, it is unlikely that the player should hit the ball into it. If they manage to do so, it will cause the Big Goomba to look around wondering what just happened while the player's ball would likely land Out of Bounds.
Mario Party series
Mario Party 10
Mega Goomba makes its first Mario Party appearance in Mario Party 10, as a boss fought in Mega Goomba's Ladder Leap, which involves players climbing up to a higher platform and jumping down onto it to deal damage. After enough hits, Mega Goomba is defeated.
Mario Party: Star Rush
A Mega Goomba appears as the first boss in Mario Party: Star Rush. Its boss minigame, Mega Goomba's Bad Dream, has the players collect 25 apples when he is asleep. When Mega Goomba stops sleeping, players need to collect another 25 apples, though he attacks players who approach the apple pile. After the minigame ends, a butterfly appears and Mega Goomba chases it. In Toad Scramble mode, the winner gets one Star (two Stars if it is fought as the final boss of the board).
Paper Mario: Color Splash
Mega Goombas appear in Paper Mario: Color Splash as regular enemies fought in Mondo Woods. They were originally normal-sized Goombas until they were enlarged by Kamek's magic. Mega Goombas attack by jumping on Mario, doing 33 HP of damage. Like most enemies, they have a chance to drop a card of themselves, but it will be a normal Goomba card.
