'''Goombas''', initially called '''Little Goombas''',<ref>''Super Mario Bros.'' English instruction booklet, page 10.</ref> are one of the major species of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Since their first game appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', they have become the most iconic and common enemies in the entire ''Super Mario'' franchise followed by [[Koopa Troopa]]s, appearing in the vast majority of games. They are usually the first enemy the player meets. They resemble small brown mushrooms with two feet and no visible arms or legs. Goombas are physically weak and are not much of a threat to [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], since a single [[stomp]] usually defeats them, although a number of different Goomba variants have emerged that are usually stronger in some way, and even regular Goombas occasionally drop hints of being much stronger and more competent than their appearances suggest, as in the case of [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]]. | '''Goombas''', initially called '''Little Goombas''',<ref>''Super Mario Bros.''

The Goombas, as a collective race, used to be allied with the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. However, most of the Goombas turned traitorous and joined [[Bowser's Minions]].

The Goomba was the last enemy created during the development process of ''Super Mario Bros.'' despite being the first encountered. During development, the only basic enemy was the Koopa Troopa. However, playtesters had stated that the Koopa Troopa was too tricky of an enemy to have as the first one. Using this, the developers decided to create an enemy that could be defeated with just a single stomp. The Goomba itself was created with the appearance of a {{wp|shiitake}} mushroom. Since the enemy was created toward the end of the development cycle, though, hardly any bytes remained on the cartridge. Therefore, to give the enemy moving animations, the developers reused and flipped the image, making it appear to be walking.<ref>[https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/nsmb/1/5 Iwata Asks: ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' - Volume 2, Page 5 at Nintendo.com]</ref> | The Goomba was the last enemy created during the development process of ''Super Mario Bros.'' despite being the first encountered.

Goombas reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' with the same role and appearance as in its predecessor. Although [[Buzzy Beetle]]s are more prominent in the game, large numbers of Goombas also appear in packs of three or four. Goombas are also present in underwater levels and are gray with black eyebrows and feet in the [[Family Computer Disk System]] version due to sharing [[Blooper]]'s palette, while in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version they are standard brown. These Goombas cannot be stomped and can only be defeated with [[fireball]]s. As a result, in underwater levels, Goombas' death animations only depict them having their sprites flipped upside down. In the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version, much like in Hard Mode of the original, all Goombas in Worlds A-D are replaced with Buzzy Beetles. In ''All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.'', all Goombas are replaced with Okapi, but otherwise still act the same. | Goombas reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' with the same role and appearance as in its predecessor.

Goombas have appeared as obstacles in various games of the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. They behave consistently throughout the series, simply waddling in place and moving slightly left and right on the track and causing a player to spin out from driving into them. However, their size varies between appearances, and ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' renders them as 2D sprites. In most games, if a Goomba is hit by an item, it drops a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]]. In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', Goombas appear in [[GCN Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]], waddling in place right before the [[finish line]]. In ''Mario Kart DS'', Goombas appear in [[DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] and in certain missions, such as the race against Goomboss, who spawns two or three Goombas every few seconds while moving. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Goombas are encountered in [[Mushroom Gorge]], [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Mario Circuit]], [[Koopa Cape]], and the returning {{classic|GCN|Mario Circuit}}. In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', are larger, and they appear in [[3DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] and [[Piranha Plant Slide]], as well as the returning {{classic|Wii|Mushroom Gorge}} and {{classic|Wii|Koopa Cape}}. On Piranha Plant Slide, the underground Goombas are colored blue. In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Goombas appear in [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|Mario Circuit]], {{classic-link|N64|Yoshi Valley}} (replacing [[Porcupo]]s from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''), and {{classic|3DS|Piranha Plant Slide}} in the base game. Additionally, the [[Nintendo Switch]] version's ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' also includes them in {{classic-link|Tour|New York Minute}}, {{classic|Wii|Mushroom Gorge}}, {{classic|DS|Mario Circuit}}, {{classic|Tour|Athens Dash}}, {{classic|Wii|Koopa Cape}}, and {{classic|Tour|Madrid Drive}}. In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', Goombas are obstacles in many stages and stage variants. They are the main focus of "[[Goomba Takedown]]" challenges, where they may appear in large formations, with the goal of defeating as many as possible in a single lap. Unlike other ''Mario Kart'' games, Goombas can be bowled over by driving into them, but this still causes the racer to spin out. Additionally, a Goomba can now also be defeated by landing on them while gliding or after driving off a ramp, giving the driver a [[Jump Boost]]. For normal course variants, Goombas are found on all versions of [[Tour Paris Promenade|Paris Promenade]], as well as [[Tour Singapore Speedway|Singapore Speedway]], [[Tour Athens Dash|Athens Dash 2]], [[Madrid Drive]], [[RMX Mario Circuit 1]], DS Mario Circuit, Wii Mushroom Gorge, Wii Koopa Cape, 3DS Mario Circuit, and 3DS Piranha Plant Slide. | Goombas have appeared as obstacles in various games of the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]].

Though ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' is the first game to have Goombas as obstacles, ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' is their actual first appearance. However, Goombas, which use their ''[[Paper Mario]]'' design, are restricted to a background appearance in the audience during the award ceremony. Similarly, ''Mario Kart Wii'' also includes Goombas as spectators during the trophy celebration.

Other variants of Goombas are not commonly encountered as obstacles. Technically, the first time any Goomba variation has appeared on a course is in ''Mario Kart 7'', which has [[wooden cutout]]s of Goombas blocking the last few turns of the course. In ''Mario Kart 8'', a [[Goomba Tower]] appears at the end of Mario Circuit. Furthermore, in the Nintendo Switch version's Booster Course Pass, [[Innertube Goomba]]s appear in {{classic-link|Tour|Singapore Speedway}}, like in ''Mario Kart Tour'', and {{classic-link|GCN|Daisy Cruiser}}. In ''Mario Kart Tour''{{'}}s "Goomba Takedown" challenges, Goombas may appear in the form of Goomba Towers. Additionally, the game also features [[Shoe Goomba]]s alongside Goombas in Madrid Drive. | Other variants of Goombas are not commonly encountered as obstacles.
