Giant Goombas (デカクリボー Dekakuribō) can also be found in various stages where Bowser's minions are present.
Their behavior is the same as that of a Goomba, and they share the charge as their sole method of attack. Unlike their smaller counterparts, they are much more resilient, being able to sustain multiple blows and jumps on their heads before being defeated. Giant Goombas run faster when charging, and as expected, its charge attack is much more powerful, causing high damage and knockback. Giant Goombas also have some flinch resistance to weaker attacks, which can make it difficult to stop a charging Giant Goomba.
Despite their high HP and power, Giant Goombas are still of relatively low threat. Having the same behavior as Goombas, their AI is rather basic, and Giant Goombas take much longer to begin their charge than Goombas do. When jumped on, Giant Goombas are also stunned for a sizable period of time while taking significant damage. Thus, Giant Goombas can be defeated with relative ease by simply jumping on their heads till they are defeated, which can easily prevent them from being able to begin their charge attack.
Giant Goombas, like their smaller counterparts, are also enemies in the Smash Run mode in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.

Trophy Description
A giant-sized Goomba, as the name suggests. In Super Mario 64, punching and kicking had no effect on this brute. It could be stopped like normal Goombas- by jumping on it from above. A colossal Goomba appeared as the boss of world four in New Super Mario Bros., but that's a Mega Goomba, not a Giant Goomba.
: Super Mario 64
In Super Smash Bros. 4
Giant Goombas show up in Smash Run, a mode exclusive to the 3DS version. Like their smaller counterparts, and by extension, the other enemies, they drop power-ups when destroyed.
