Spiky Gloomba

Spiky Gloombas, previously known as Spiked Gloombas, are Gloombas with a spike on their head. Because they have a spike on their head, Mario will get hurt if he jumps on them, unless he has the Spike Shield. They are much tougher than regular Spiked Goombas.

Paper Mario
In Paper Mario, Spiked Gloombas appear with the other Gloomba types in Toad Town Tunnels. They have the highest base attack statistic of any Goomba in the game, though both Hyper Goomba and Hyper Paragoomba surpass it when Charged.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Spiky Gloombas only appear in the Pit of 100 Trials in Rogueport Sewers. They are now slightly stronger than before, still having the highest base attack of any Goomba, with their original attack amount becoming the base attack for the new Hyper Spiky Goomba. While their statistics are relatively high, they are extremely susceptible to most status effects, especially burning.
