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 and has a few Pirate Goombas serving under him.

In Star Battle Arena, he still gives characters Stars, though they need 50 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 will let them hit a Coin Block in a Coin Block Area he gives to the player (who doesn't have 50 coins yet) to get coins (but it only has 1, 5, and 10 on it and if the player rolls a 1, 5, or 10 they get that number of coins). Then he will tell his crew of Pirate Goombas to take them back to the start using a cannon.

Captain Goomba is the leader of a crew of Pirate Goombas, which are Goombas with green pirate bandannas. They appear on a Green Space. If a player lands on their Green 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.
