'''Mega Goombas''' are gigantic versions of [[Goomba]]s in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. They are larger versions of [[Big Goomba]]s.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
Mega Goombas first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Mega Goombas only appear in the [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1]] [[Enemy Course]], where two of them appear trying to stop the player from saving the kidnapped [[Toad (species)|Toad]]. Mega Goombas share the same attack pattern as many of their smaller relatives. When jumped on, they split into two [[Big Goomba]]s. If [[Ground Pound]]ed, it splits into four normal Goombas. It takes four [[fireball]]s to defeat a Mega Goomba. Mega Goombas cannot be frozen by iceballs from [[Ice Mario]]; they will break out instantly after being frozen.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====

Mega Goombas reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They act the same as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. When [[stomp]]ed or Ground Pounded, they still split into two Big Goombas or four normal-sized Goombas, respectively, but they now require three fireballs to take out and can now be defeated by [[Koopa Shell]]s. They are found in [[Soda Jungle]]'s course [[Jungle of the Giants]] and in a [[Challenge Mode (New Super Mario Bros. U)|challenge]] called [[Big Goomba Bounce Bash]].

===''Mario Golf: World Tour''===
A Mega Goomba appears in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' on Hole 2 of [[Wiggler Park]]. Because it appears behind the green, it is unlikely that the player should hit the ball into it. If they manage to do so, it will cause the Mega Goomba to look around wondering what just happened while the player's ball would likely land [[Out of Bounds]].

===''Mario Party 10''===
[[File:Mega Goomba's Ladder Leap MP10.png|thumb|right|Mega Goomba being fought in ''Mario Party 10''.]]
Mega Goomba makes its first ''Mario Party'' appearance in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', where it is one of the game's bosses. Its boss minigame, [[Mega Goomba's Ladder Leap]], involves players climbing up to a higher platform and jumping down onto it to deal damage.

===''Super Mario Maker''===
Mega Goombas make a minor appearance in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. If the player puts a [[Super Mushroom]] on an already-enlarged Big Goomba, it will become a Mega Goomba, though it will immediately cough out the Super Mushroom and shrink back to Big Goomba, this is because the player cannot enlarge an enemy more than once.
