They are disguised as grounded [[Brick Block|brick]]s that can be distinguished by the fact that they do not glisten (except in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', which gave them a light-colored outline instead, but this was changed back in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''). When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] approaches its brick, the Pile Driver Micro-Goomba moves slightly to show a pair of feet underneath the brick, then [[jump]]s high in the air and attempts to land on the player character to damage him. These enemies are resistant to [[fireball]]s and can be defeated by [[stomp]]ing them, hitting them with a [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]] tail, or tossing a [[Koopa Shell]] at them. | ||
