Goombas, initially called Little Goombas, are one of the major species of the Mario franchise. Since their first game appearance in Super Mario Bros., they have become the most iconic and common enemies in the entire Mario franchise followed by Koopa Troopas, appearing in the vast majority of games. They are usually the first enemy the player meets. They resemble small brown mushrooms with two feet and no visible arms or legs. Goombas are physically weak and are not much of a threat to Mario or Luigi, since a single stomp usually defeats them, although a number of different Goomba variants have emerged that are usually stronger in some way, and even regular Goombas occasionally drop hints of being much stronger and more competent than their appearances suggest, as in the case of Captain Goomba.
