Mini Goomba



Micro-Goomba is the name given to a species of small Goombas. In Super Mario Bros. 3, some Paragoombas would drop Micro-Goombas onto Mario and Luigi, which highly weakened their ability to Jump temporarily. A similiar species called Goombettes are found in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

They also appear in Super Mario 64's Tiny Huge Island. They appear in the huge side, and if they touch Mario, Mario wil not get hurt, but bounce a few feet back, while the Micro Goombas die.

They reappear in New Super Mario Bros.. When Mario is Mini Mario, he can enter miniature pipes. If he enters one, Mario may find a Star Coin. However, in some cases, Mini Goombas are in the way, and Mario has to bop them on the head to get to the Star C.

Mini Goombas have the intelligence of any other Goomba, but can be more dangerous, because it only takes one hit to defeat Mini Mario.
