==History==

===''Super Mario Galaxy''===

Pumpkinhead Goombas made their debut in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They can be found in [[Ghostly Galaxy]]. These pumpkin-wearing Goombas are capable of producing small blue flames in an attempt to burn [[Mario]], yet the ability is lost when their pumpkin is destroyed. To break their jack-o'-lantern helmets, Mario must [[spin]]. [[Ground Pound]]ing them, however, will destroy both the pumpkin helmet and the Goomba in one pound. Once they lose their Pumpkin cover, they are simply a regular Goomba. If the player Ground Pounds a Pumpkinhead Goomba after it just produced a blue flame, Mario will get burned if he touches it. Also, if one tries to jump on one, the pumpkin won't break. If Mario runs into a Pumpkinhead Goomba as [[Rainbow Mario]], only the pumpkin will break.

Pumpkinhead Goombas, along with other enemies, can be seen dancing with [[Toad (species)|Toads]] in the center of [[Toad Town]] during the game's ending.
