Chuboomba

The Chuboomba is an enemy found in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Their name is a portmanteau of "chubby" and "Goomba". Chuboombas are large Goombas holding lollipops, and are encountered at Cavi Cape and Plack Beach.

Chuboombas are fought by Bowser in the overworld, and are the first (and weakest) normal enemy he encounters. In battle, it attacks by tackling Bowser, which he must counter with a punch. If it wheezes before tackling, it will hesitate before impact, so the player must remain alert. Mario and Luigi can also go to Cavi Cape and/or Plack Beach to fight Chuboombas and their attacks can be countered by jumping. If Bowser uses the vacuum block to inhale a Chuboomba's lollipop, he will recover 30 HP, and the Chuboomba will flee.

Despite being very unintelligent, they can dodge Bowser's punches by simply moving in a different direction.

Chuboombas are always the target for the demo of Bowser's Special Attacks. Unless the player gets an "Excellent" during the attack, the Chuboomba will not die and instead run away.

Bowser can use the Vacuum Block to inhale a Blitty from Chuboombas.

Trivia

 * The top screen of Bowser's Special Attack demos/tutorials always show a Chuboomba being defeated by the acquired Special Attack without the lollipop, which is normally impossible, since a Chuboomba without a lollipop usually no longer fights.
