'''Pirate Gooms''' are [[Goom]]s that appear in the first two ''[[Wario Land (series)|Wario Land]]'' games. In ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'', they appear as brown [[Goom|Gooms]] that hold spears. In ''[[Wario Land II]]'', they are red and carry a fork as a weapon. In both games, they pace back and forth in most of the levels and do not fall off unless pushed or thrown. Their spears are pointed forward, so [[Wario]] must avoid hitting them from the front.

Pirate Gooms featured a minor change in appearance in ''Wario Land II''. In that game, they started wearing striped bandannas and toting tridents rather than spears. Also, the [[Giant Spear Man]], a big Pirate Goom, is seen and fought several times in ''Wario Land II'' and serves as the game's "really final" boss. The Giant Spear Man's name implies that Pirate Gooms are alternatively known as Spear Men. However, they have not been specifically referred to as such.


Pirate Gooms do not appear in any other ''Wario Land'' game, although relatives of Pirate Gooms do; in ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', the [[Spearhead (enemy)|Spearhead]] and the [[Para-Goom]]. Similar-looking enemies also appear in ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. In the game ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'', similar looking enemies known as [[Bandinero]]s appear, but they are led by the [[Shake King]] instead of [[Captain Syrup]].
In ''[[Wario Land II]]'', three nameless Pirate Gooms are introduced as [[Captain Syrup]]'s sidekicks that steal the treasure of [[Wario Castle]]. They also received a change in appearance: their bandannas have stripes, they have lighter color, and they now wield tridents. The [[Giant Spear Man]], an abnormally large Pirate Goom, is fought several times and serves as the game's "[[Steal the Syrup's treasure!!#Final Boss Battle: Giant Spear Man|really final]]" boss.


Pirate Gooms made a last appearance, which was a brief one, in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. More precisely, it was in a [[9-Volt]] and [[18-Volt]] [[microgame]] named [[Wario Land (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Wario Land]]. In this microgame, the [[player]] needed to grab a Pirate Goom and hurl it at an enemy by using the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wiimote]].

Pirate Gooms[1] are a type of Wanderin' Goom that appear in the first two Wario Land games. They are darker than their ordinary counterparts, wear a bandanna, and originally held a spear. They typically pace back and forth and do not fall off unless pushed or thrown. Their spears are pointed forward, so Wario must avoid hitting them from the front.

In Wario Land II, three nameless Pirate Gooms are introduced as Captain Syrup's sidekicks that steal the treasure of Wario Castle. They also received a change in appearance: their bandannas have stripes, they have lighter color, and they now wield tridents. The Giant Spear Man, an abnormally large Pirate Goom, is fought several times and serves as the game's "really final" boss.

Pirate Gooms make a cameo in WarioWare: Smooth Moves as part of the Wario Land microgame. The player needed to grab one and hurl it at an enemy by using the Wii Remote.

The Bandinero enemies in Wario Land: Shake It! resemble Pirate Gooms.
