Chibibos are Goomba-like creatures that resided in Sarasaland during the events of Super Mario Land. Chiboboes slowly tromp to the side, waiting to hit Mario. Their similar attack pattern is probably due to the fact that they are smaller cousins of the Goomba (according to an official Nintendo Power magazine). Once stomped or shot with a superball, they awarded Mario with 100 points. Chibibos are the most common enemy in the game, appearing in all levels with the exception of the Easton Kingdom.

It should be noted, however, that the American version of Super Mario Land was rushed to completion, and therefore enemy names were left mostly untranslated (if not entirely untranslated). Due to this, Chibiboes are more than likely true Goombas, whose Japanese name is Kuribo. Chibi in Japanese essentially means tiny, so there's a chance that Chibibos are in actuality Micro Goombas.
