Para-Goombas[1] (or Para-Goombahs)[2] are Flying Goombas with thorns on their heads that protect them from jump attacks. They appear in Mario Clash, where they slowly hop along the ground, very similar to the Fighter Flies from Mario Bros. To defeat them, Mario must hit them with a Turtle Shell at their sides from the background or foreground to stun them, then hit them again or kick them. A Para-Goomba appears in the Mario Clash microgame in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! and WarioWare Gold.
