'''Goombas''' ({{ja|クリボー|Kuribō}}, ''Kuribo'') are a species of meager mushroom-like [[enemy|enemies]] from the {{uv|Mario}} series.

==Origin==
[[File:GoombaOrigin.gif|thumb|left|A Goomba's walking animation in ''Super Mario Bros.'']]
Goombas made their debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' as a common enemy, and have reprised that role in later ''Mario'' games. Along with the [[Koopa Troopa]]s, the Goombas are some of the most recognizable enemies of the ''Mario'' series. They are anthropomorphic brown mushroom-like enemies that feature a scowling face with fangs protruding from both sides of their lower jaw. They are said to have once been loyal to the Mushroom Kingdom, but switched sides upon the invasion of the Koopa Troop, though some Goombas remain peaceful.

Goombas are the most basic enemy in the series. They simply walk around, turn around at walls, and fall from ledges. They are known for damaging the player on contact, but they can be easily defeated by jumping on them. In ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'' and all later 3D ''Mario'' platformers, Goombas actively pursue any nearby player, but they remain very weak. 

Multiple variants of the Goomba exist, with the most well-known being the {{s|mariowiki|Paragoomba}}, introduced in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'', which has wings and will lose them when stomped, the {{s|mariowiki|Galoomba}}, introduced in ''Super Mario World'', which takes more hits to stomp and can be thrown, the {{s|mariowiki|Giant Goomba}}, introduced in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', which is very large and - in certain games - will be split in 2 after being stomped on, and the grey-skinned castle and navy-skinned underground Goombas exclusively featured in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|The Lost Levels}}''. Goombas may also stand atop one another as {{s|mariowiki|Goomba Tower}}s or hop around in {{s|mariowiki|Goomba's Shoe}}s to become {{s|mariowiki|Shoe Goomba}}s

Prominent members of the Goomba race include {{s|mariowiki|Goombella}}, a female Goomba and one of [[Mario]]'s party members in ''{{s|mariowiki|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door}}'', {{iw|mariowiki|Captain Goomba|Mario & Luigi series}}, the villain protagonist of the ''Bowser's Minions'' side story in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions}}'', and {{s|mariowiki|Goomboss}}, the king of the Goombas (similar to [[Bowser]]'s status for Koopa Troopas or [[Petey Piranha]]'s for [[Piranha Plant]]s) who debuted as a boss in ''{{s|mariowiki|Paper Mario}}'' and reprised his role in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart DS}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64 DS}}''.

Goombas often appear in non-playable roles in ''Mario'' spin-off games, most notably as obstacles on ''Mario Kart'' tracks, however - in spite of their iconic status - their playable appearances have been few and far between, but whenever they can be controlled by the player, their lack of hands never impedes them, although their stats tend to be rather poor.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
===As a [[background character]]===
Goombas appear in their 8-bit forms as background characters in the {{SSBM|Mushroom Kingdom}} stage.

===As an enemy===
[[File:GoombasSSBM.png|thumb|left|Goombas in Melee's Adventure Mode]]
Goombas appear as a common enemy in the {{b|Mushroom Kingdom|Adventure Mode}} stage.

Goombas walk back and forth in the arena, falls of ledges, and damages the player's fighter on contact. If the player's fighter makes contact with a Goomba, they will take [[damage]] with moderately low [[knockback]]. Goombas can be defeated by dealing enough damage or jumping on them, which will result in a Goomba KO bonus where the player receives 100 points for each Goomba KO'd.

Goombas are also likely to appear out of [[Crate]]s, [[Barrel]]s, [[Capsule]]s, and [[Party Ball]]s in regular battles. They are one of three common enemies that can appear out of a [[container]] item, the other two being [[Octorok]]s and [[ReDead]]s.

===As a [[stage]]===
[[File:GoombaStage copy.jpg|thumb|left|A close-up of the Goomba stage in Event 14.]]
Goomba serves as a stage for [[Event 14: Trophy Tussle 1|Trophy Tussle 1]], for which the player receives the Goomba trophy upon completing the [[event match]]. The edges of the head can be grabbed if a character tries to recover.

===Trophy===

|desc=Goombas are actually traitors who've defected from the Mushroom Kingdom's forces. They're a slow and predictable nuisance, as they always try to wander into Mario's path. Fortunately for Mario, they don't have much stamina, as a single jump on the head is generally enough to defeat them.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
Goombas appear as a [[trophy]]. They can be obtained by using the [[Trophy Stand]] in ''Brawl's'' Adventure Mode, [[The Subspace Emissary]].

===As an enemy===
Goombas appear as enemies in ''Brawl's'' Adventure Mode, [[The Subspace Emissary]]. Similar to their ''Melee'' counterparts, the Goombas simply walk around and can be easily KO'd with one hit, even on Intense difficulty; however, the Goombas can charge at the player's fighter upon noticing them and they attack by ramming into them. Characters can also perform a [[Footstool Jump]] when landing on a Goomba, instead of bouncing up with no change in animation, which makes it harder to jump on several in a row because repeated footstools decrease in height.

Goombas are among the least threatening enemies in The Subspace Emissary. They have among the lowest HP and are easily defeated by one attack or jumping. Their movement speed is slow (though they are slightly faster when they charge), they do not have the ability to jump, and they appear oblivious to the player's fighter until approached. Their sole attack is slow in start-up lag and easy to guard against. Along with being slow, the Goomba's charge attack is weak, dealing low damage and knockback, having low KO potential overall even on Intense. When a Goomba begins its charge attack however, it will continue for quite a while, and if it goes past the player, it will turn around and then charge again.

Although Goombas are never specifically stated to be members of the [[Subspace Army]], they serve as subordinates of {{SSBB|Bowser}}, who is known to be a high-ranking member.

It is currently unconfirmed whether Goombas have higher HP on later stages.

===Trophy===
The Goomba trophy can be obtained by using the [[Trophy Stand]] on a Goomba in The Subspace Emissary.

|desc=A citizen of the Mushroom Kingdom who sided with Bowser when he invaded. Goombas slowly chase after Mario on stubby legs. They're not the toughest creatures and can generally be defeated by jumping on them, which makes them disappear. They have fierce fangs, but they don't seem to serve any purpose. Though a nuisance to Mario, they're decent at baseball and mah-jongg.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
===As an enemy===
[[File:Goomba Smash Run.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Two Goombas attacking.]]
Goombas appear as enemies in [[Smash Run]] in {{for3ds}}, reprising their behavior from ''Brawl''.

Goombas also appear as part of the {{uv|Mario}}-themed ''Vs. Enemy Team'' final battle.

===As a background character===
[[File:Goomba Clown Car Cameo.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Galoomba in the background of [[Super Mario Maker]] in {{forwiiu}}.]]
In {{forwiiu}}, Goombas appear as background characters in the [[Super Mario Maker]] stage riding the [[Koopa Clown Car]]. Their appearance changes depending on the game style, matching their designs in ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. In the ''Super Mario World'' layout, the Goombas are replaced with Galoombas.
{{clr}}

===Trophy===
The Goomba trophy appears in both versions. In {{forwiiu}}, it is part of the ''Bowser's Minions'' {{h1|Trophy Box|Bowser's Minions}}.

|desc-3ds-pal=Once loyal to the Mushroom Kingdom, the Goombas switched sides when Bowser invaded. Not that it mattered – they were never exactly mighty warriors or anything.

|desc-wiiu=The Goombas' grumpy little faces aren't scaring anyone. In fact, if Mario found himself in front of a sea of Goombas, he'd just get right to stomping! They were once loyal to the Mushroom Kingdom, but they turned traitor when Bowser invaded. One jump's usually enough to take them out. Foes don't come much weaker than this!

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===Spirits===
Goomba appears as a Novice-class [[primary spirit]], and is featured on the {{h2|List of spirits (Super Mario series)|Papercraft Mario}} and {{h2|List of spirits (Super Mario series)|River Survival}} spirits.

In [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]], Goomba is presumably one of the countless spirits captured by [[Galeem]] during his takeover of the universe. Goomba's spirit is located in the cliff section of [[The Light Realm]].

The Goomba Spirit Battle uses an army of [[Tiny]] {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}} puppet fighters and is fought on the {{SSB|Mushroom Kingdom}} stage's [[Battlefield form]].

During the River Survival Spirit Battle, the Goomba uses a {{SSBU|Kirby}} puppet fighter and is fought on the [[Kongo Falls]] stage's [[Ω form]], referencing the jungle rapids which serves as the main setting of the ''Super Mario Party'' River Survival game mode. It is fought along with the {{SSBU|Bowser}}, {{SSBU|Yoshi}}, and {{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}} puppet fighters. During the battle, the player's fighter must survive until the timer runs out, referencing the time limit of the River Survival game mode while Bob-ombs will rain from the sky, referencing the obstacles in said game mode, which will cause the players to lose if they don't avoid them. Also, the [[Party Ball]] and the [[Food]] items appear, referencing the balloons in River Survival, which will reward the players with extra time after completing the minigames.

==Trivia==
*Goombas in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series walk in a sidestep fashion, similar to their NES appearances rather than the standard 3/4 gait they have in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games. They switch to the standard gait when charging at characters.
*A Goomba was a requested character by Japanese fans prior to the release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostResult3.html</ref>
