Jack O'Goomba

Jack O' Goombas are pumpkin-headed goomba that appear in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They can only be found in haunted areas such as Ghostly Galaxy. These pumpkin-wearing Goombas are capable of producing a small blue flame in an attempt to burn Mario; when the pumpkin is destroyed this ability is lost. Mario must spin to break their Jack-o-Lantern helmets, then attack them. Ground Pounding them however is easier, since it defeats both the pumpkin helmets as well as the goomba itself. These Pumpkin-wearing Goombas bear a resemblance to the Splunkin enemy in New Super Mario Bros..
