A '''Goomdiver''' is a diving-helmet clad [[Goomba]] found only in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They appear in underwater locales, such as [[Oho Ocean]].
'''Goomdivers''' are diving-helmet-clad [[Goomba]]s that appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. Their names are a combination of "Goomba" and "diver". They are found in the [[Seabed]], and are sometimes assisted by [[Blooper]]s in battle. In the overworld, Goomdivers dive down into view from off-screen in an attempt to land on Mario and Luigi to initiate a battle; this is signaled by a small circle of bubbles indicating their landing spot.


Near-identical Goombas wearing diving helmets actually appeared earlier. In the final level of ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]],'' last level in [[Turtle Zone]] (the level where [[Octopus (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins)|Octopus]] is fought), several of these Goomdiver-like creatures are littered about. In this game, one hit can defeat them, and the only difference between them and normal Goombas is that [[Mario]] slightly bounces off of them (while he merely lands atop a Goomba, flattening it with no upward propulsion).
Goomdivers are very similar to the [[Aqua Goomba]], another Goomba in a diving helmet that appears in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''.

Goomdivers are diving-helmet-clad Goombas that appear in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. Their names are a combination of "Goomba" and "diver". They are found in the Seabed, and are sometimes assisted by Bloopers in battle. In the overworld, Goomdivers dive down into view from off-screen in an attempt to land on Mario and Luigi to initiate a battle; this is signaled by a small circle of bubbles indicating their landing spot.

Goomdivers are very similar to the Aqua Goomba, another Goomba in a diving helmet that appears in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.

Battle

Goomdivers will attack by either leaping directly at Mario or Luigi, which is countered by jumping, or swimming upward and slowly drifting towards one of the Bros., which is countered with the hammer. If they use the latter attack, they will remain elevated, rendering them immune to ground-based moves and Bros. Attacks.
