| That's a Spiky Goomba. ...A spiky-headed Goomba. What a creative name. That spike is super-pointy, so it's better to hit it with a hammer than jump on it. Maximum HP is 2, Attack is 2, and Defense is 0. The addition of the spike means you'll hurt your feet if you jump on it. Duh!

—Spiked Goomba, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Spiked Goombas (also known as Spiky Goombas, and referred to as "Spiny Goombas" by Professor Frankly) are Goombas that have thought of a creative way to avoid being squished by Mario. They wear green helmets similar to Spike Top shells to prevent Jump moves from damaging them, covering the common Goomba's weakness. They are tougher than regular Goombas and Paragoombas making the Spiky Goomba the strongest of the Goomba family tree. While their helmets are a great defense against jumps, they're still defenseless against most other attacks. Mario's Hammer or Bowser's fire breath are two good examples. Spiked Goombas are a staple of the Paper Mario series, being one of two variants of the normal Goomba; they have appeared in all three games. A similar Goomba appears in Mario Party 7 in a shop in Bowser's Enchanted Inferno!.
[edit] History
A
Spiky Goomba getting hurt.
Spiked Goombas, as they were called in this game, made their debut appearance here. They are first seen in Goomba Road, but also appear in many different locations, such as Pleasant Path. A single Spiked Goomba also appears at Bowser's Castle, and was in charge of guarding the items in the storage room. However, instead of guarding them, he decided to sell them to Mario and company as if the storage room was an item shop.
Spiky Goombas appear in several locations in the game, notably the Rogueport Sewers. Once Mario has the Spike Shield badge, he can jump on them without getting hurt.
In Super Paper Mario, Spiked Goombas once again appear. They, as always, cannot be stomped by normal means. However, they can be defeated by using a Pixl, such as Boomer, Carrie, Barry, or Cudge. Bowser's fire breath attack can also toast them. They appear in the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials in rooms 12 and 38.
The spiky helmets they use (Or possible green spike top shells) appeared as an item in Paper Mario: Sticker Star for the Nintendo 3DS.

| It's a Spiked Goomba. Look at that spiky hat! Max HP is 1. Attack is 2. That spiky hat makes stomping it or picking it up a very bad idea... I would recommend throwing something at it... Or you could just walk on by...
