Big Goomba



Grand Goombas are enormous Goombas found in Super Mario Bros. 3. They are only encountered in Giant Land, and despite their massive size, they do not pose much of a threat. Jumping on them just once will squish them just like regular Goombas.

They appeared again in Super Mario 64 and its remake in Tiny-Huge Island. If the player entered or warped to the huge side, the Goombas would become Grand Goombas. These Goombas could only be defeated if jumped on, because punches and kicks don't affect them at all. Ground Pound on them to receive a Blue Coin.

In Super Mario Galaxy, a Grand Goomba serves as a mini-boss and must be defeated in the Gateway Galaxy to get a key in order to go inside the planet it lives on and retrieve the Grand Star.
