[[File:RPGgoomba.png|thumb|''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' artwork of a Goomba]]
Goombas are among the weakest members of the Koopa Troop in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. However, they are more powerful than the [[Terrapin]]. In the game, many Goombas are seen at [[Mushroom Way]], the area between [[Bowser's Keep]] and the Mushroom Kingdom. Goombas, under the command of two [[Hammer Bros.]], patrol the paths of Mushroom Way. In fact, [[Toad]] himself is captured by a group of Goombas while the he is on his way to the Mushroom Kingdom. Other Goombas not loyal to the Koopa Troop reside in [[Bandit's Way]], working as independent thieves. Wild Goombas live in the [[Pipe Vault]], a secret area near [[Rose Town]]. Although as strong as the Goombas from Mushroom Way and Bandit's Way, these Goombas are encountered much later in the game. Other independent Goombas live in the caves of the [[Midas River]]. These Goombas are more concerned with catching the river's fish to eat than battling outsiders. In battle, Goombas attack enemies by biting. They can also shoot sharp thorns to cause 50% more damage than usual.<ref>[http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/snes/file/588739/30935 Super Mario RPG Battle Mechanics Guide] by newmansage. "Enemy Skills" section.</ref> Goombas are fairly weak, and they can often be destroyed by a simple [[Timed Hit]]. A Goomba's bite attack can be blocked by defending right after the mushroom performed a somersault. The damage of a Goomba's thorn can be blunted by defending right before the projectile hits the party member. Additionally, Goombas typically fight in groups of two to three (either with other Goombas or stronger monsters). When defeated, Goombas often yield [[Bonus Flower|HP MAX! Flower]]s to Mario and his party.
Besides the small outpost at Mushroom Way, the Koopa Troop, as a whole, is actually on the verge of collapse. In the game, the Koopa Troop is devastated by the invasion of the extraterrestrial [[Smithy Gang]]. The gang chooses Bowser's Keep as their base-of-operations in Mushroom World. As a result, many enemies in the Koopa Troop switch sides to join the invaders while others simply ran away. One of the enemies that leaves the Koopa Troop is the [[Gu Goombas]], who later become guards for the Smithy Gang. One Goomba deserter finds its way to [[Monstro Town]], a community of reformed enemies. This lone Goomba sets up shop here, selling powerful Koopa-based armor and weapons. The Goomba is also aided by its three [[Goombette]] nephews, the [[Triplets]] (other Goombettes, not related to this Goomba, appeared in the [[Sunken Ship]]).

After the Koopa Troop is expelled from Bowser's Keep, Bowser himself attempts to reassemble the remains of his troop in [[Rose Way]]. Many Goombas remain loyal to Bowser and join him in his quest to retake the castle, but by the time the army reaches [[Moleville]], many Goombas have abandoned Bowser. By the time Bowser reaches [[Booster Tower]], all of Bowser's army (including all his Goombas) has deserted him. However, at the tower, Bowser decides to join forces with Mario, knowing that with the Mario's strength, he can get his keep back. Eventually, Bowser, Mario, [[Princess Peach]], [[Mallow]], and [[Geno]] find their way to Monstro Town. While in the town for reformed enemies, Bowser runs into the Goomba deserter who has set up shop in the village. The Goomba apologizes for deserting the Koopa Troop, but offers to sell Bowser powerful weapons and armor in return. Eventually, Bowser, with the help of Mario and his friends, manages to expel the Smithy Gang and defeat their leader, [[Smithy]]. With his keep returned, many former soldiers (including many Goombas) return to King Bowser and the Koopa Troop. In fact, many Goombas help rebuild Bowser's Keep to its former glory.

[[File:Goomba PM sprite.png|frame|left]]
Goombas are a part of Bowser's army during his attempt to take the Mushroom Kingdom with the power of the [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]] in the game ''[[Paper Mario]]''. In fact, many varieties of Goombas aid Bowser. Goomboss (this time named the [[Goomboss|Goomba King]]) returns, commanding a large group of Goombas that reside in [[Goomba Road]], the pathway between Goomba Village and [[Toad Town]]. Besides regular Goombas, he controls a large number of Paragoombas and [[Spiked Goomba|Spiky Goombas]], Goombas that wear spiked helmets to counter Mario's jumping ability. His two loyal henchmen, [[Red Goomba]] and [[Blue Goomba]], appear in the game as well. A new sub-species of Goomba, known as the [[Gloomba]], is also introduced. These dark Goombas live underground. The underground also includes [[Paragloomba]]s and [[Spiky Gloomba]]s. [[Hyper Goomba]]s, green-colored Goombas similar to the Gu Goombas, are first seen in this game. These powerful Goombas can charge their attack power. Again, Hyper Goombas have a [[Hyper Paragoomba]] and a [[Hyper Spiky Goomba]] variant.

[[File:Goombatree.jpg|thumb|The three classes of '''Goombas''' as seen in the game.]]
Mario runs into a number of Goombas in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. These Goombas lives in a town known as [[Rogueport]]. Many of these Goombas are independent thieves, bandits, crooks, cheats, and "cleaners." These ones wear green hats, similar to the hat [[Link]] wears. Although not the best of company, these Goombas from Rogueport do not attack Mario. However, the Goombas that live in the [[Rogueport Sewers]] or in [[Petal Meadows]] are very aggressive. Goombas behave just as their ''Paper Mario'' counterparts and are not much of a threat, since Mario can perform Action Commands from the beginning of the game. All the Goomba sub-species featured previously in ''Paper Mario'' also return in this game.

Goombas appear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. In this adventure, Goombas are the first enemies to be battled. They also appear in the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]] in rooms 2 and 5. Their HP is lowered to 1 in this game, but attack and defense stay the same from previous ''Paper Mario'' titles. This game also introduces [[Headbonk Goomba]]s, which are throwbacks to the previous two ''Paper Mario'' games, as the Goombas' main attack is the Headbonk, and [[Dark Goomba]]s, the dark versions of Goombas that appear in the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]]. Goombas have a [[Catch Card]] number of 1, and it is common.

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
[[File:Goomba PMSS sprite.png|frame|left]]
Goombas reappear in the game ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. Their appearance is closer to that of the Goombas of the mainstream ''Mario'' games since ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''; their feet are now brown instead of red and their eyebrows are not as thick as in the previous ''Paper Mario'' games. However, as shown in [[List of Paper Mario: Sticker Star beta elements|early builds of this game]], they ''were'' going to retain their past ''Paper Mario'' appearance with no changes.

====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''====
[[File:Goomba M&LSS sprite.png|frame|left]]
A group of Goombas join Bowser as he attempts to track down [[Cackletta]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. These Goombas hold tutorial battles with Mario and Luigi in the [[Koopa Cruiser]], who happens to join the Bowser in his search for Cackletta (as the she has stolen Princess Peach's voice). These Goombas are patrolling the halls of the cruiser or simply hiding in barrels. The Goombas engage in battles with the Mario Bros., to get some training before the Mario Bros. battle [[Fawful]]. In battle, a Goomba approaches either Mario or Luigi, somersaults towards him, then bite. This attack can be dodged by jumping after the Goomba opened its mouth. To counter the attack, Mario or Luigi would have to jump right when the Goomba's mouth opened. They each have 4 HP. The Goombas did not see much action after that, since the Koopa Cruiser is shot down by Fawful before [[Cackletta]] is engaged in combat.

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
[[File:Goomba Pit.png|frame|left]]
Goombas act as castle guards during the Shroob invasion, as depicted in the game ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. In this adventure, Goombas are considered the weakest member of the Koopa Troop. They patrol the halls of [[Baby Bowser's Castle]], attacking any intruder who enters Prince Bowser's castle. To attack, a Goomba runs into the Mario Bros. They can be countered with a [[Jump]] attack. Goombas are sometimes aided in battle by [[Boo]]s. Other Goomba sub-species are featured in the game. The [[Tanoomba]] returns from ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' and appears in [[Thwomp Mountain]]. The invading Shroobs also created their own version of the Tanoomba known as the [[Tashrooba]]. This dark sub-species serve as guards inside [[Shroob Castle]], the conquered, [[Shroobified]] version of [[Princess Peach's Castle]].

Goombas return in this game as one of Bowser's special attacks, where the player has to touch Goombas to light them on fire and send them upward. The enemy takes damage for each Goomba it is hit with. Fawful captures some Goombas and brainwashes them, while other ones are put in a cage in [[Dimble Wood]]. Bowser also encounters two new subspecies, the [[Chuboomba]]s, fat Goombas that carry lollipops, and [[Choomba]]s, Goombas that resemble steam engine trains and gain speed in their charge, even after Bowser punches them. Also, another, similar species, called [[Goombule]]s, are found inside Bowser. [[Jailgoon]]s are living cage enemies containing either a Goomba or a [[Bob-omb]].
Line 397 ⟶ 310:
====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
[[File:Goomba M&L 3DS RPGs sprite.png|frame|left]]
Goombas reappear as enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. Like a select few enemies, Goombas do not appear on the field, and can only be fought by getting into a battle with a [[Fly Guy]] or [[Durapurl]]. In battle, Goombas charge into Mario and Luigi without pausing. If they look in Mario's direction and tilt back, they're going to charge at Mario. If they look at Luigi's direction and tilt forward, they're going to charge at Luigi.
Goombas attack in unison with Fly Guys differently depending on whether or not there are Goombas present in the battlefield. If there are not any Goombas present, a Fly Guy will fly high into the sky to reappear flying back into the battlefield from the background, now air-lifting a Goomba in its grip, who it'll drop in line with Mario and Luigi from Mario's left for them both to charge one after another at Mario and Luigi. Dodging the Goomba requires Mario and Luigi to jump before it hits them. Dodging the Fly Guy requires Mario and Luigi to not jump into it while trying to dodge the Goomba, and to just idle as it goes by. This attack takes up the Fly Guy's attack turn.
