Micro-Goomba
From the Super Mario Wiki
Micro-Goomba is the name given to a species of small Goombas. Micro-Goombas are also called Mini Goomba. In Super Mario Bros. 3, some Paragoombas would drop Micro-Goombas onto Mario and Luigi, which highly weakened their ability to Jump temporarily. These debilitating pests were also known as Mugger Micro-Goombas. A similar species called Goombettes are found in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
They also appear in Super Mario 64's Tiny-Huge Island. They appear in the tiny side, and if they touch Mario, he will not get hurt, only knocked a few feet back, but the Micro-Goombas will die. However, they are usually placed near bottomless pits or cliffs, and will often knock Mario off into these.
They reappear in New Super Mario Bros.. When Mario is Mini Mario, he can enter miniature pipes. If he enters one, Mario may find a Star Coin. However, in some cases, Micro-Goombas are in the way, and Mario has to bop them on the head to get to the Star Coin. In this game, Micro-Goombas possess the intelligence of any other Goomba, but can be more dangerous, because it only takes one hit to defeat Mini Mario. They can be defeated by any other form of Mario by even simply walking into them. They are the only enemy in the game which Mini Mario does not need to Ground Pound to hurt or kill.
In Super Princess Peach, Mugger Micro-Goombas reappear, but this time, they completely weigh down the player.
In Super Paper Mario, Micro-Goombas are not seen but only mentioned. A resident in The Underwhere mentions that he died all because of a Micro-Goomba and a Bottomless Pit.
In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, in the Mrs. Thwomp battle, Micro-Goombas make up the miniature clones.
They reappear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
