Line 39:
The Goombas of [[The Sky#5-3|World 5-3]] use a device known as the [[Goomba's Shoe]] (previously known as the Kuribo's Shoe) to mimic the jumping abilities of Mario and Luigi. When in the green shoe, a Goomba can jump towards Mario and Luigi instead of walking into them. If Mario or Luigi defeats the Goomba by hitting the blocks underneath it, the boot is left behind. Mario or Luigi can ride in this boot, allowing him to jump on spiked enemies and cross [[Muncher]] patches.

===''Super Mario Land'' series===
====''Super Mario Land''====
{{main|Goombo}}
While the common Goombas did not appear in the game ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', a Goomba species known as the [[Goombo]] did. They act very similar to Goombas in the ''Super Mario'' series.
====''Super Mario World''====
Line 44 ⟶ 48:
[[File:KuribonBubble.jpg|thumb|A Goomba in a bubble from ''Super Mario World''.]]
The Goombas that appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' are slightly different from the ones that appear in the previous games. These [[Kuribon|Goomba]]s, called Kuribon in the Japanese version, are native to [[Dinosaur Land]]. They are rounder and are able to be picked up when knocked upside-down. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of the game, ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', after all the goals in the game are found, these Goombas turn yellow and wear sunglasses.
====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====
[[File:Goomba-SML2.png|frame|left]]
Goombas (not Goombos) reappear in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. They are not as common as Goombos. However, the [[Terekuribo]]s, the Japanese name for Goomba ghosts, appear in [[Pumpkin Zone]]. Another variety of Goombas, the [[Goomdiver]]s, are also prominently featured in the [[Turtle Zone]].
====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
Line 76 ⟶ 84:
====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
[[File:SM3DL Goomba.PNG|thumb
Goombas make their reappearance in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. Their behavior is the same as in the 3D ''Mario'' platforming games. Goomba boardsigns make their appearance as well, along with a new species, called [[Tail Goomba]]s. It is possible to acquire a [[Super Leaf]] after defeating a Tail Goomba. A [[List of Super Mario 3D Land beta elements|gold version]] of the Tail Goomba was planned to appear in the game, but it was removed in the final version.
Line 83 ⟶ 91:
====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[
[[File:Gold Goomba Artwork - New Super Mario Bros. 2.png|thumb|120px|A Gold Goomba.]]
Goombas reappear in the Nintendo 3DS game, ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', with two new variants. They maintain their appearance from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. Goombas become [[Gold Goomba]]s when [[Mario]] touches a Golden Ring. The Goomba will then produce coins when touched. Another new Goomba called the [[Bone Goomba]] appears, which mainly appear in [[Tower]]s and [[Castle]]s.
Line 91 ⟶ 99:
====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
[[
Goombas reappear in the [[Wii U]] game, ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They maintain their appearance from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', but also have a [[Goombrat|lighter colored, rounded variety with black stems on their heads]]. These most likely contribute to the [[Waddlewing]]. [[Mega Goomba (species)|Mega Goomba]]s, [[Grand Goomba]]s, and [[Prickly Goomba]]s also appear as well.
Line 97 ⟶ 105:
Goombas also appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', behaving the same as they do in other 3D ''Mario'' platformers. [[Galoomba]]s and [[Micro-Goomba]]s also appear.
===''Wario'' franchise===
====''Wario Land'' series====
{{main|Goom}}
Another species similar to Goombas known as [[Goom]]s appear in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]''. These creatures highly resemble Goombas, except that most Gooms are round and have arms. Many types of Gooms have appeared throughout the ''[[Wario Land (series)|Wario Land]]'' series. These include [[Pirate Goom]]s and [[Wanderin' Goom]]s. One notable Goom, known as the [[Giant Spear Man]], is Syrup's high-ranking Goom in ''[[Wario Land II]]''. Other types of Gooms include [[Para-Goom]]s, [[Wizard Goom]]s, [[Yarikuri Obake]], and [[Spearhead]]s. These three varieties appear in ''[[Wario Land 3]]''.
====''WarioWare'' series====
===
[[File:Imgres.jpg|thumb|Goombas in ''Hotel Mario'']]
Four varieties of Goomba appear in ''[[Hotel Mario]]''. They assist Bowser in his attempt to transform the Mushroom Kingdom into his personal resort. Goombas guard the seven hotels set up by Bowser's [[Koopalings]]. In the game, Goombas attempt to prevent Mario from shutting down the seven Koopa Hotels. To do this, Mario has to shut all the doors in each hotel. Regular Goombas oppose his efforts by slowly walking to closed doors and opening them (as well as generally just getting in the Mario's way). Paragoombas (called Flying Goombas in this game) also appear. Two new types of Goomba, the [[Bellhop Goomba]] and the [[Rhinestone Goomba]], make their only appearance in this game.
[[File:LOZLA_Goomba.PNG|frame|right]]
Goombas have also appeared outside of Mushroom World. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', Goombas reside in various underground passages and dungeons on [[Koholint Island]] alongside [[Piranha Plant]]s. [[Link]] can either jump on a Goomba to defeat it or slash it with his sword. When Link uses the [[Roc's Feather]] to jump on a Goomba, he receives a Recovery Heart. Unlike Goombas in the overall ''Mario'' franchise, these ones are depicted with a smile on their face.
===''Yoshi''
====''Yoshi''====
Goombas make an appearance in ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]''. They are enemies in the A Type part of the game, as well as the B Type. Goombas are not main enemies in this game, they just make appearances throughout some parts of it and act like every other enemy in the game. As with the game's other enemies, Goomba's sprite in ''Yoshi'' is similar to its sprite from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.
Line 473 ⟶ 424:
In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', Princess Peach has to adventure through Vibe Island while attempting to rescue Mario, Luigi and Toads. In the game, Bowser has acquired a wand called the [[Vibe Scepter]] from [[Vibe Island]], and he uses its power to attack Princess Peach's Castle. A lone Goomba leads an army of Hammer Bros. in an assault on the castle, using the power of the Vibe Scepter to debilitate the castle guards. The attack is successful, and Mario, Luigi, and multiple castle Toads are captured by the Hammer Bros. Fortunately, Princess Peach and her attendant [[Toadsworth]] are not present during the assault. Princess Peach decides to rescue her friends, and she is given a magical umbrella named [[Perry]] to help her in her quest. Once again, Goombas, among other enemies, attempt to stop her in her travels around Vibe Island. She can throw the Goomba at another enemy, hit the Goomba with Perry, or have the umbrella eat the Goomba. Paragoombas, as well as a new variety the [[Red Paragoomba]], appear in the game as well. Princess Peach also battles with a number of colorful varieties of Goomba. These Goombas include the [[Mad Goomba]], the [[Sad Goomba]], the [[Sad Paragoomba]], the [[Red Paragoomba]], the [[Red Goomba]], and the [[Mad Red Paragoomba]].

===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
[[File:AnimeGoomba.jpg|thumb|right|The two Goombas of ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'' stand before their master.]]
In the Japanese-exclusive anime movie ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', two Goombas, who work for King Koopa, appear throughout the film, attempting to halt Mario, Luigi, and [[Prince Haru|Kibidango]] in their search for Princess Peach.
These two Goombas first appear shortly after Mario and Luigi start their quest and follow the Mario Bros. to a camp they have set up for a night's rest. Luigi, however, has grown hungry and is unable to sleep. The Goombas then trick Luigi by saying they are mushrooms, and Luigi, desperate for food, follow them into a small clearing filled with strange, emotion-inducing mushrooms. Luigi (and Mario, who eventually finds his brother in the mushroom field) is eventually kidnapped by a large [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]].
The Goombas next appear right after Mario and Luigi have collected the [[Super Mushroom]] and have come to a fork in the road. Here the Goombas decide to give Mario and Luigi false directions and lead the brothers to a [[Piranha Plant]]-filled area.
The Goombas are seen next in a cave-like area where they leave a trail of [[Coin]]s for the Mario Bros. Mario and Luigi follow this trail and end up in a larger cave, although the Goombas roll a rock up against the entrance of this cave, locking the Mario Bros. within it.
One of the Goombas' last efforts in the film comes when Mario and Luigi have reached [[Bowser's Castle]]. They activate a complex platform system over lava (with the inclusion of [[Podoboo]]s), explaining that Mario has to jump over it to escape. Their plans are foiled, though, when Luigi (who is at the time mining for Coins) accidentally cause a huge flood through Bowser's Castle, putting out the lava and safely carrying the Mario Brothers on.
The Goombas of the movie are last seen being reprimanded by King Bowser for not stopping Mario and Luigi. They run away to parts unknown.
===''Super Mario Bros.'' (film)===
{{main|Goomba (film)}}
Goombas appear in the live-action [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' movie]]. In the movie, they are portrayed as citizens of [[Dinohatten]] who have been de-evolved into slightly dim-witted but loyal members of [[President Koopa]]'s army.
===DIC cartoons===
====''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''====
[[File:TAoSMB3Goomba.JPG|thumb|left|A Goomba from ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', Goombas are depicted as being weak soldiers in King Koopa's army. They accurately resemble the physical depiction of Goombas from the video games. Goombas change aliases depending on the plot, appearing as bikers, pirates, and ninjas.
====''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''====
The continuation of the original cartoon series, ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', retain Goombas and their status as weak yet loyal soldiers.
====''Super Mario World'' television Series====
The second continuation, the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' cartoon, features Goombas in only three episodes, with a small reference to them in "[[A Little Learning]]".
===''Mario Ice Capades''===
Goombas appear in ''[[Mario Ice Capades]]'' as minions of [[Bowser|King Koopa]]. In the end, the Mario Bros. defeat them as well as their leader.
===''Mario and the Incredible Rescue''===
Goombas appear in ''[[Mario and the Incredible Rescue]]'' as Bowser's henchmen once again. They are all defeated by Mario, Luigi, and Toad by the end of the book.
===''Nintendo Comics System''===
Goombas appear in several issues of [[Nintendo Comics System]], though they are scarcely seen, having seemingly been pushed aside by [[Shy Guy]]s as the main troops of Bowser's army.
===Club Nintendo===
Goombas make a minor appearance in the German ''[[Club Nintendo]]'' comics. Two of them are seen in the story "[[Super Mario: Erholung? Nein, danke!]]", on the island of [[Koopabiza]]. They, along with many other people and creatures, try to get to the beach. One of them is wearing a swimming ring. Also, the [[Gumba Royal Hotel]] on Koopabiza is named after the German spelling of the Goomba species.
===''Super Mario Adventures''===
In ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'', Goombas, resembling the ones seen in ''Super Mario World'', appeared among the creatures sent to attack [[Princess Peach's Castle|Princess Toadstool's Castle]], and were also among the attendees to Bowser's marriage to the hypnotized Princess Toadstool.
===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
Goombas appear in several of the [[Nintendo Adventure Books]], starting with ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'', where a pair appear to attack Luigi when he first arrives in the Mushroom Kingdom, only to be sent running after being stomped. Some later scurry out of the way as the heroes head to Mushroom Palace, and several are also among the crowds at the International Mushroom Games held three weeks later.
Luigi fights off several Goombas on his way to [[Wendy O. Koopa]]'s secret camp in the Magma Pits in ''[[Koopa Capers]]'', and a Goomba scientist named [[Dr. Sporis Von Fungenstein]] appears as the main antagonist in ''[[Doors to Doom]]''.
Some Goombas shrunken by [[Magikoopa]] are sent into Yoshi's body after Mario in ''[[Unjust Desserts]]''; if Mario smashes a [[Yellow Shell]] while inside Yoshi, it will cause tremors that cause some Goombas and assorted other shrunken enemies to go careening around the dinosaur's innards.
===Super Mario Chess===
In [[Super Mario Chess]], Goombas appear as rooks on Bowser's team.
==General Information==
Line 487 ⟶ 485:
As enemies, Goombas are rather pathetic. They aren't very bright and tend to attack enemies simply by charging at them (Let's face it, what else are they going to do?). They are pretty hopeless in battle since they can be defeated with a single stomp on the head, but if there's one thing Goombas have going for them, it's perseverance. It seems that no matter how many of them get flattened by Mario, the Goombas continue marching onward for the glory of Bowser without fear or hesitation. But then again, this lack of self-preservation could simply be a result of the Goombas aforementioned stupidity.
===Traits and
{{Quote|'Marching straight ahead into the enemy's feet!' Didn't you memorize that in Goomba boot camp?|Bowser|Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story}}
[[File:GoombaSM64DS.gif|frame|A Goomba walking in the beta version of ''New Super Mario Bros''.]]
Line 499 ⟶ 497:
Unlike [[Shy Guy|Shy Guys]], Goombas do not use machinery as much to aid them. One part of technology the Goombas use is the parachute. The parachute allows a large number of Goombas to swarm enemy territory from the sky. Otherwise, they tend to rely on their natural abilities in battle. However, Goombas have developed a number of tools to counter the jumping ability of the [[Mario Bros]].: The [[Goomba's Shoe]] allows them to imitate [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], while the spiked hat seen in the ''[[Paper Mario]]'' series counters any jump attack (unless Mario is wearing a Spike Shield [[badge]]). Gritty Goombas have attached spears to their heads to counter stomp attacks as well.
===Name
The name "Goomba" is the same as the Italian slang word "goombah". This term was used by Italian-Americans to describe themselves (although the term has also emerged as a derogatory word used against Italian-Americans). The term "goombah" originated from the Italian word "compare" (abbreviated as "compa") which literally means "friend",an other definition for "goombah" is a member of a criminal gang. Coincidentally, the Hungarian word for mushroom is "gomba".
