Paper-Cone Goomba

"Last time we weren't prepared, and you beat us like flat, little piñatas. But this time won't be so easy! Taste our paper power, punk!"

- Paper-Cone Goomba

Paper-Cone Goombas (known as Paper Cone Goombas in the PAL version) are a new species of Goomba that appears in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. In the overworld, they look like ordinary Goombas, but in battle they will take on their true form. Using sticker power, these Goombas can fold themselves into conical shaped, giving them a sharp corner that acts like a spike. Jumping on a Paper-Cone Goomba will damage Mario (you can only use the Iron Jump sticker for the jump to be successful), and must instead rely on other stickers. The main attack of these Goombas is lunging at Mario like a paper airplane.
