Goomba Wheel
The title of this article is conjectural; an official name for the article's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors.
If an acceptable name is found, then the article should be moved to the new title.
This article needs improvement. Specifically:
- Sources for the name "Goomba Wheel" beyond being derived from its PMCS appearance.
- An image of Paper Mario fighting the Goomba Wheels from Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam
- Info regarding whether the Shiny Goombas of M&LPJ can uses this attack as well.

Goomba Wheel is a move occasionally used by Goombas in the Paper Mario series.
In Paper Mario: Sticker Star, near the end of World 1-2, Bouquet Gardens, Mario is interrupted by a group of five Goombas stacked on top of each other, forming a vertical line, then formed into a wheel. It rotates and circles Mario, while wheel and motor sound effects can be heard throughout. In battle, however, the Goomba Wheel is fought as single Goombas. The music that plays during the chase is called "Unstoppable Fury", a more aggressive arrangement of "Don't Call Me Flunky".
In Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, the move is now used in-battle by Paper Goombas. Mario and Luigi first encounter a Goomba Wheel in Sunbeam Plains (just before Paper Mario joins the party), formed together by nine Paper Goombas. The Goombas will then roll and chase after the bros; during this sequence, the player must press 
and 
repeatedly to make the bros run away from it, but they are not able to escape since, even if the player outruns the wheel initially, it will circle back around and plough through the Bros and defeat them. Right at that moment, Paper Mario comes down from the sky, defeats the Goomba stack and is introduced. After Paper Mario joins the party, stacks of Paper Goombas occasionally turn into Goomba Wheels to attack Paper Mario, which can be avoided using his high jump.
The move returns in Paper Mario: Color Splash, where it is used by Small Goomba Wheels. Unlike prior appearances, these Goombas stay in their wheel formation indefinitely, rather than only doing so while attacking.
