Shiny Goomba

Shiny Goombas are a new species of Goomba that appears in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. A Shiny Goomba looks like an ordinary Goomba, but they have a noticeable sheen, much like those of shiny stickers. Shiny Goombas are very common enemies but since they are common they only appear in three levels the first two levels in world 4 and Bowser Jr.'s Flotilla. Unlike normal Goombas, Shiny Goombas battle in groups of three or more. Also, all stickers used against them (except for Thing Stickers) have their damage halved. Just like an ordinary Goomba, Shiny Goombas attack by headbonking Mario, but they spiral in the air before making contact. A lot of coins are gained when the player defeats them, depending on how many there are in battle. Shiny Goombas also appear in Whiteout Valley if the player uses a Jump type Sticker on a Shiny Paragoomba and if they still have HP left.
