Goomba idols

The Almighty Goomba is a deity that appears in Mario Party 8. Although the Almighty Goomba has never actually been seen, its voice is heard when the player reaches its special treasure chest on a sacred island. The sacred island can be accessed by having a character land on the Lucky Space in Goomba's Booty Boardwalk. If a character reaches the Almighty Goomba's special treasure chest, it will give the character a Star and send them back to the Lucky Space.

It is probable that the Almighty Goomba is a sacred Goomba that lives in some sort of afterlife. This is believed because of the large, grey Goomba statues and shrines that exist on the island.

It is possible that the Almighty Goomba is just one of many Almighty Goombas, making them a possible species.
