Kaboomba.PNG

Kaboombas only appear in The Cave Of The Mystery Maze and Raphael The Raven's Castle. They attack by shooting heavy cannonballs that fall to the ground and explode after a few seconds. Yoshi can safely stand on them, and eating them does nothing. An egg or Ground Pound disposes of them.

Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3

Kaboomba

Kaboombas retain their role in the Game Boy Advance port, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3.

Yoshi's New Island

Kaboombas make a return appearance in Yoshi's New Island.

  • Despite the Kaboomba's name being similar to the Goomba, they have nothing in relation to them.
