Talk:Mega Goomba

Connections with Grand Goombas
Are Mega Goombas related to Grand Goombas in any special way? Because they are both reletivly the same, both are just bigger Goombas.

You're right; Mega Goombas and Grand Goombas are relatively the same enemy--although Mega Goombas are larger than Grand Goombas. Also note that when stomped, a single Mega Goomba transforms into two Grand Goombas.

They are SIMILAR, but Grand and Mega Goombas are technically not the same. But you do make a good point. PiranhaBomb

I dont have New Super Luigi U, so I dont know if Mega Goombas appeared in it. Can someone please tell me if they did? 14:57, 5 August 2013 (EDT)

Wouldn't it make more sense to classify that with the NSMBDS one, since there's only one and it's a boss? I mean, yeah, it's smaller than the one from NSMBDS, but Petey Piranha was the size of a small house in his first appearance, and King Boo's been anywhere from the size of an ordinary Boo to the size of a Big Boo. 20:58, 16 August 2017 (CT)
 * No. The NSMB boss has a different Japanese name than the recurring enemy, and the minigame's name in Japanese uses the latter. 00:37, 17 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Only looking at the names is bad; it's also necessary to look at the behavior between the two and compare and contrast. With that said, I'm not particularly familiar with either NSMB or MP10. 00:46, 17 August 2017 (EDT)
 * I don't see how what you're bringing up is relevant. The Gritty Goombas are a case of two palette-swapped enemies in the same game having the same name, which is not what we're dealing with here. There's not much to say about the two Mega Goomba bosses behavior-wise; they just kinda walk around, and you have to jump (MP10) or Ground Pound (NSMB) on them multiple times to defeat them. In other words, they're giant Goombas that behave like giant Goombas, so that doesn't really help. Furthermore, the behavioral differences argument doesn't really hold up when talking about games in different genres. 02:13, 17 August 2017 (EDT)
 * They're both platformers (not the entirety of MP10, but the MP10 minigame). The point is that the species was split in the first place because of behavioural differences in the first place, so if someone was interested in moving a section from one to another, a name shouldn't be the only thing to look at. 09:00, 17 August 2017 (EDT)
