Goombas look and act notably different than Goombas. Although these creatures walk in straight paths to attack, like regular Goombas, these new baddies do not resemble the older ones. Goombas do not have mushroom-shaped heads, but spherical ones. They also lack a stem: the Goomba's two feet are attached directly to the bottom of the head. As such, they resemble angry chestnuts more than scowling mushrooms.
In this game, Galoombas are referred to as "Goombas" due to a translating error, despite acting differently. Although these creatures walk in straight paths to attack, like regular Goombas, these new baddies do not resemble the older ones. Goombas do not have mushroom-shaped heads, but spherical ones. They also lack a stem: the Goomba's two feet are attached directly to the bottom of the head. As such, they resemble angry chestnuts more than scowling mushrooms.


Goombas cannot be defeated in a single jump, as doing so flips them over and immobilizes them. In this state, they can be picked up and thrown at other enemies, like with Koopa Troopas. Running into them or jumping on them when flipped causes them to be kicked around. After a few seconds they right themselves, which damages Mario if he is carrying one. They can automatically be defeated with a Spin Jump, or with a fireball or an attack from Yoshi; an attack with the cape causes them to be flipped over as well.

There are two (also misnamed) variants of Goombas in the original game. '''Para-Goombas''' are Goombas which utilize parachutes instead of being Goombas with wings. '''Winged Goombas''' also appear, and can only hop on the ground instead of fly. Like [[Paragoomba]]s, Flying Goombas' wings are clipped after one jump, leaving them rendered as a normal enemy. However, just as the Goomba counterparts in ''Super Mario World'', stomping on them after their wings are gone just renders them helpless for a few moments, allowing the player to throw them at other enemies. This variation later appeared in ''[[Mario Clash]]''.
