'''Goomboss''', originally known as the '''Goomba King''' or '''King Goomba''', is a very large [[Goomba]] who is one of the first [[boss]]es whom [[Mario]] and [[Goombario]] encounter in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Goomboss later reappears as a boss in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''.
He is one of the few original [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] characters to reappear in other ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games, along with [[Whacka]], [[Tweester]]s, [[Koopatrol]]s, and the [[Star Spirits]]. His name is a portmanteau of "Goomba" and "boss".

▲In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', he was originally an ordinary little Goomba, but [[Bowser]] used the [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]] to make him a king (which also greatly increased his size) under the conditions that he would assist Bowser later on. He is first seen when the Goomba Bros. come to his fort wailing about their defeat to Mario. He lets them in his fort, and when Mario comes by, he has a short conversation with him and then engages him in battle along with his minions.
▲In battle, he is accompanied by [[Red and Blue Goomba|Red Goomba]] and [[Red and Blue Goomba|Blue Goomba]]. Mario will find him by his [[Goomba King's Fortress|Fortress]]. The easiest way of defeating him is to hit the [[Goomnut]] Tree at the start of the battle to make one giant Goomnut fall on him and the Red and Blue Goomba, doing three damage and instantly knocking the weakened Goombas out. When the Goomba King is defeated, he surrenders and retreats to his fort while pleading that Mario will not press a nearby switch. When Mario presses the switch, the fort reveals to be a bridge used to get to [[Toad Town]], and he and his minions fall into the abyss, defeated.
▲While Mario battles the Goomba King and his lieutenants, Red Goomba and Blue Goomba, [[Kammy Koopa]] is secretly observing the battle. She reports back to Bowser, who is furious at the Goomba King's defeat and also yells "I only used the Star Rod to make him a king because he begged me to...".
In the ending parade of ''Paper Mario'', the Red
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
Although the Goomba King does not physically appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', a character known in the English localization as the '''Chestnut King''' is mentioned as the main antagonist of [[Luigi]]'s tale. In all non-English language versions of the game, this character is referred to as the Goomba King instead.<ref>https://themushroomkingdom.net/pmttyd_j2e.shtml</ref> The name Chestnut King is likely a mistranslation of the Goomba King's Japanese name, since Goombas are known as ''Kuribō'', meaning "chestnut people", in Japanese, from which the Goomba King's Japanese name is derived. Notably, the Japanese name of the Goomba King follows the convention of food-related names within the [[List of implied locations#Waffle Kingdom|Waffle Kingdom]], which is also followed by the name Chestnut King. It is unknown if the Chestnut King and Goomba King are meant to be the same character, as the descriptions of the two characters differ from each other.
According to Luigi, the Chestnut King is the villain who kidnaps [[List of implied characters#Princess Eclair|Princess Eclair]] from the Waffle Kingdom and brings her to [[List of implied locations#Hatesong Tower|Hatesong Tower]]. Luigi travels to the tower by using the [[List of implied items#Marvelous Compass|Marvelous Compass]]. Once there, Luigi challenges the Chestnut King to a battle. The king eventually loses to Luigi and his [[hammer]]. However, before Luigi can deliver the final blow, Princess Eclair appears and stops him. It turns out that the Chestnut King and the princess are actually lovers, much to Luigi's dismay. The King was transformed into a monster through the magic of [[List of implied characters#Minister Crepe|Minister Crepe]] of the Waffle Kingdom. Eventually, Luigi defeats Crepe, presumably restoring the Chestnut King to his former self. Luigi never directly admits that he was wrong in believing that the Chestnut King was the Princess's captor (although he does admit after a long pause that, though he had won, he ended up beating a shadowy figure shortly afterward), and Mario can only read about it in the [[Super Luigi (series)|Super Luigi book series]].
