Goomba (balloon)

Balloon Goombas are Goombas attached to floating balloons in New Super Mario Bros. U. They are basic enemies attached to balloons, acting similarly to the Para-Goombas of Super Mario World except floating from the opposite direction.

New Super Mario Bros. U
Balloon Goombas' only appearance is in the Sparkling Waters stage Skyward Stalk. They float straight upwards from the bottom of the screen on a balloon. When its balloon pops, it will begin walking like a normal Goomba. Mario can jump off the balloons for extra height. There are only six Balloon Goombas in the game.
