Talk:Mini Goomba

Name Change?
I looked in my Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition booklet and looked at the enemies exclusive to SMB3. It says it's a Mugger Micro Goomba. I live in the American region, so is the Japanese name for this still Micro Goomba?


 * Yeah it says its called a Mugger Micro Goomba.

Super Mario Galaxy
They are in SMG, add that bit.
 * Why can't you?

I'm only new here :/, I only edit here sometimes so I don't really know advanced features. Well I'll add it.

Latest Appearance
The latest appearance is in Super Mario Maker, when you shake a Goomba. I don't know how to add that without screwing the page up, so please add that fact.

Galaxy one resemble Galoombas?
The Galaxy ones really don't look like Galoombas, they quite honestly look far more like olive-colored Goombos from Super Mario Land, due to having the same mushroom body structure, that is rounded instead of triangular like Goombas, while Galoombas have no stem, and have a light-colored muzzle. - 19:36, 27 May 2017, CT
 * They do look more like a Goombo than a Galoomba! That certainly looks like a better comparison. 20:54, 27 May 2017 (EDT)

Change to Mini Goomba?
Micro Goomba was technically only used in Nintendo Power's "Mario Mania" guide before getting an offhand mention in Super Paper Mario. Mini Goomba, meanwhile, seems to have been used in every guide for the New Super Mario Bros. games as well as the Prima Games guide for Super Mario Odyssey (and incidentally happens to be the repeating internal version). Even though Micro Goomba showed up once in in-game text, Mini Goomba is by far the most common and recent name. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:35, 18 November 2018 (EST)
 * It's also somewhat recently been called "Small Goomba," it just seems a bit too inconsistent to make a definitive choice just yet, IMO. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:17, 18 November 2018 (EST)
 * I actually think Small Goomba should be a separate subject since they're apparently not "real" Mini Goombas but rather regular Goombas under Kamek's spell. LinkTheLefty (talk) 19:22, 18 November 2018 (EST)
 * Why would they be any different, though? They still behave like, well, Micro Goombas, and fight just like regular Goombas, except smaller. 19:41, 18 November 2018 (EST)
 * If in-game naming is what was holding Mini Goomba back, then I presume the article isn't Small Goomba for the reason I mentioned (and we've split things over being artificial or inauthentic before). Either way, I find it suspicious that (unhyphenated) Micro Goomba appears to have only been in two semi-obscure sources before being used in several sections of Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia despite having been mostly reestablished as Mini Goomba since 2006. LinkTheLefty (talk) 20:32, 18 November 2018 (EST)
