'''Tanoombas''' are [[Tanooki|Tanooki-like]] [[Goomba]]s found in both the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and the [[Beanbean Kingdom]]. They resemble regular Goombas, except the Tanoomba has raccoon ears, a raccoon tail, and a leaf on its forehead. Tanoombas have powerful mimicry abilities and are able to transform 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.

During the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Tanoombas lived in an area north of [[Beanbean Castle Town]]. To attack, a Tanoomba will transform into a copy of [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] (albeit a copy with a raccoon tail). After transforming, the Tanoomba will attack the brother of who the shape-shifting Goomba transformed into (i.e. if a Tanoomba transform into a Luigi clone, the Tanoomba will attack the real Mario). This attack can be countered with a [[Hammer]] strike. Additionally, a Tanoomba can attack by spinning its tail at a Mario brother. The brothers can [[jump]] to dodge this attack, but should be prepared to dodge multiple tail strikes.

Tanoombas live on [[Thwomp Volcano]] during the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. On the mountain, Tanoombas use a variety of disguises to help them prey on unsuspecting travelers. A Tanoomba may turn into a friendly-looking [[Toad (species)|Toad]] (with a raccoon tail), a [[100 Gold Coin]] (with the Tanoomba's face on it), a [[? Block]] (with a leaf on top), or even a [[Thwack]] (with a raccoon tail). Once a traveler approaches a disguised Tanoomba, the shape-shifting creature will reveal itself and attack.
