Mega Goomba

From the Super Mario Wiki

Mega Goomba is the boss of World 4 in New Super Mario Bros.

Before the battle, a regular Goomba gains access to a Mega Mushroom and becomes Mega Goomba. Mario must defeat this boss to acquire the key that provides access to World 5.

To defeat Mega Goomba, Mario must activate a switch, causing two platforms to appear. When Mario stands on the platform, it will elevate in the air. From there, Mario can either Wall Jump, Jump, or Ground Pound directly on top of the Mega Goomba. For the attack to be successful, Mario must Ground Pound the Goomba (unless he is Mega Mario).

Once Mario hits the Mega Goomba three times, the Goomba will be defeated, and Mario can get the key to World 5.

[edit] Trivia

• This Goomba originated in the very first previews of New Super Mario Bros. or as it was called back then, Super Mario Bros. DS in which it was a normal level enemy Goomba until it was caught in contact with a Mega Mushroom which made it the same size as it was in the current game. This new and innovative feature was taken out for unknown reasons, possibly due to the game being extremely hard if certain enemies turned mega.

• When the Mega Goomba grows, it makes a sound similar to Mario changing into Mega Mario, only it is somewhat more evil-sounding.

• Although the Goomba becomes Mega when obtaining a Mega Mushroom, the side effect of him turning into Mega Goomba seems not to occur by a Mega Mushroom (this or he already used the Mega Mushroom and become Mega Goomba when he went to his battle arena.)
