Goomba R

Goombas R are stronger versions of Goombas that appear as an enemy in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. Like a select few enemies, Goombas R do not appear on the field, and can only be fought by entering a battle against a Fly Guy R. Like Shy Guy Airtubs R, Goombas R drop fewer coins than their weaker counterpart.

In battle, Goombas R charge into Mario and Luigi without pausing. If they look in Mario's direction and tilt back, they are targeting Mario. If they look in Luigi's direction and tilt forward, they are targeting Luigi.

Goombas R attack in unison with Fly Guys R differently, depending on whether or not there are Goombas R present on the battlefield. If there are no Goombas R present, a Fly Guy R flies high into the sky, only to reappear flying back into the battlefield from the background, now air-lifting a Goomba R in its grip; it then drops the Goomba R in line with Mario and Luigi from Mario's left, and both charge one after another at Mario and Luigi. Dodging the Goomba R requires Mario and Luigi to jump before it hits them. Dodging the Fly Guy R requires Mario and Luigi to not jump into it while trying to dodge the Goomba R, and to just idle as it goes by. This attack takes up the Fly Guy R's attack turn.

If there are, a Fly Guy R picks up a nearby Goomba R, flies above Mario or Luigi, and drops the Goomba R on him, which must be countered by smacking the Goomba R into the sand with his hammer before it lands on the targeted Bro. Regardless of whether the former part of the attack was countered or not, if the Goomba R was not defeated due to the counterattack, it may be dazed for a moment before running at the targeted Bro. again, or if the Goomba R has stars around its head, it charges into the Bro. who was not targeted. This attack also takes up the Fly Guy R's attack turn.
