Captain Goomba (Mario Party 8)

"Yar! Reach me and get a Star! But that path's harder to walk than a lard-greased plank. Good luck!"

- Captain Goomba

Captain Goomba is an oversized Goomba in Mario Party 8. He appears at the end of Goomba's Booty Boardwalk and gives characters free Stars if they reach him. As his name implies, he is a captain of a ship. He also has a few Pirate Goombas.

In Star Battle, he still gives characters Stars, though they need fifty coins. In this mode, getting a Star is the key to winning the battle. However, if characters arrive with less than fifty coins, Captain Goomba sends them back to the start using a cannon.

Captain Goomba is the leader of a crew of Pirate Goombas, which are Goombas with green pirate bandannas. They appear on a Green Space. If a player lands on their Green space, the three Goombas will exclaim that "landlubbers" are not allowed to meet their captain and are only worthy to be cannon fodder. Upon shouting the above statement, the Pirate Goombas immediately surround the character, load him or her into a cannon, and blast the player back to start.

Trivia

 * Captain Goomba's voice sounds slightly similar to that of a Bob-omb Buddy.
