'''Tanoombas''' are [[Goomba]]s based on the [[Tanooki Suit]] that are located in both the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and the [[Beanbean Kingdom]]. They resemble regular Goombas, except that the Tanoomba has raccoon ears, a raccoon tail, and a leaf on its forehead. Tanoombas are also slightly larger than most other Goombas. Tanoombas have powerful mimicry abilities and are able to shapeshift into different objects and different creatures. However, Tanoombas can always be given away by the raccoon-like features or leaves that appear on their transformations. | '''Tanoombas''' are [[Goomba]]s based on the [[Tanooki Suit]] that are located in both the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and the [[Beanbean Kingdom]].

Tanoombas can be found on [[Thwomp Volcano]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. They use a variety of disguises. A Tanoomba can turn into a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] (with a raccoon tail), a [[100-Coin]] (with the Tanoomba's face on it), a [[? Block]] (with a leaf on top), or even a [[Thwack]] (with the Tanoomba's face on it). Once approached, the Tanoomba reveals itself and attacks. | Tanoombas can be found on [[Thwomp Volcano]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. They use a variety of disguises.

In battle, the Tanoomba uses a variety of shape-shifting attacks (like their Beanbean counterparts, albeit different transformations). First, a Tanoomba can jump high and either turn into a [[Thwomp]] (with a raccoon tail) or an orange bubble (with a raccoon tail). If the Tanoomba turns into a Thwomp, it quickly falls and crushes a Mario Bro. If the Tanoomba turns into a bubble, it falls slowly, causing damage when it hits a Mario Bro. Both of these attacks can be countered with a hammer. Additionally, if a Tanoomba flips when it jumps, it attacks Luigi. If it jumps without flipping, the Tanoomba attacks Mario, also if it goes all the way to the top of the screen, it turns into a Thwomp. However if it goes near the top, it turns into a Bubble. | In battle, the Tanoomba uses a variety of shape-shifting attacks (like their Beanbean counterparts, albeit different transformations).

*The leaf on the Tanoomba's forehead is a reference to the [[Super Leaf]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', which transforms Mario into [[Raccoon Mario]]. Additionally, the [[Tanooki Suit]] is another power-up available in the same game. It could also be a reference to how transforming raccoon dogs (tanuki) in Japanese folklore are often depicted with leaves. | *The leaf on the Tanoomba's forehead is a reference to the [[Super Leaf]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', which transforms Mario into [[Raccoon Mario]].
