Goomba: Difference between revisions

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]].

 

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]]''.

In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its remake ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', Goombas appear, but they are not as common as [[Shy Guy]]s and [[Koopa Troopa]]s. Goombas only appear in one level: World 4-1 [[GO! GO! MARIO!!]] In this level, Goombas attempt to walk into [[Yoshi]], knocking off [[Baby Mario]] and possibly having him kidnapped by a [[Toady]]. When Yoshi [[stomp]]s on them, the Goomba flattens, but it is not defeated; they can even walk into and damage Yoshi even in this state. After some time, the Goomba "pops" and assumes its standard mushroom shape. These Goombas can be defeated with an [[egg]] toss, a [[Ground Pound]] attack, or Yoshi's tongue. Strangely, before Goombas [[jump]] off a ledge, they wiggle their eyebrows.

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]]''.

 

In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', they appear in the microgame [[Super Mario Bros. (WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!)|Super Mario Bros.]], in which the player has to defeat the Goombas to win the microgame. In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' in the boss game [[Super Mario Bros. (WarioWare: Twisted!)|Super Mario Bros.]], they appear as enemies that try to defeat Mario, just as in ''Super Mario Bros.''. In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' in the [[Super Mario Bros. (Stomp)|Super Mario Bros.]] microgame, they appear as one of the enemies that have to be defeated. They can defeated by tapping them with the stylus. Finally, in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'' in the third level of the microgame Super Mario Bros., a Goomba appears as an obstacle that Mario has to avoid, although sometimes it is replaced with a bottomless pit.
