The '''Chuboomba''' is an enemy found in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of "chubby" and "[[Goomba]]". Chuboombas are large Goombas with orange heads holding lollipops, and are encountered at [[Cavi Cape]] and [[Plack Beach]].

Chuboombas are fought by [[Bowser]] in the overworld, and are the first (and weakest) normal enemy he encounters. In battle, it attacks by charging towards Bowser, which he must counter with a [[punch]]. If it wheezes before charging, it will hesitate before impact, so the player must remain alert for this. Mario and Luigi can also go to Cavi Cape and/or Plack Beach to fight Chuboombas and their attacks can be countered by [[jump]]ing. If Bowser uses the [[Vacuum Block]] to inhale a Chuboomba's lollipop, he will recover 20 [[Health Point|HP]], and the Chuboomba will burst into tears and [[flee]]. This will result in Bowser winning the battle, although no experience will be gained.

Chuboombas are usually fought by themselves or with other Chuboombas accompanying them in Cavi Cape. In Plack Beach, they only appear in battle with [[Toothy|Toothies]]; they never appear on the overworld. Also, after visiting [[Broque Monsieur]]'s shop for the first time, Bowser can use the Vacuum Block to inhale a [[Blitty]] from a Chuboomba.

Chuboombas are always the target for the demo of Bowser's [[Brawl Attack]]. Unless the player gets an "Excellent!" during the attack, the Chuboomba will not be defeated and instead run away.

*The top screen of Bowser's Brawl Attack demos/tutorials always show a Chuboomba being defeated by the acquired Brawl Attack without the lollipop, which is normally impossible, since a Chuboomba without a lollipop usually flees from the battle. This was fixed in the remake, as it now shows the lollipop with the Chuboomba.
