Captain Goomba (Mario Party 8)

"Yar! Reach me and get a Star! But that path's harder to walk than a lard-greased plank. Good luck!"

- Captain Goomba

Captain Goomba is an oversized Goomba in Mario Party 8. He appears at the end of Goomba's Booty Boardwalk and gives characters free Stars if they reach him. As his name implies, he is a captain of a ship. He also has a few Pirate Goombas.

In Star Battle, he still gives characters Stars, though if they bring fifty coins. In this mode, getting a star is the key to winning the battle. However, if characters arrive with less than 50 coins, Captain Goomba sends them back to the start.

Captain Goomba also has a team of Pirate Goombas, which are Goombas with green pirate bandanas. They appear on a ? Space. If a player lands on their ? space, the three Goombas will exclaim that "landlubbers" are not allowed to meet their captain and are only worthy to be cannon fodder. Upon shouting the above statement, the Pirate Goombas immediately surround the character, load him or her into a cannon, and blast the player back to start.

Trivia

 * Captain Goomba's voice sounds slightly similar to that of a Bob-omb Buddy.
