The Goomba King as seen in Paper Mario.

The Goomba King (also known as Goomboss) is one of the first bosses Mario and Goombario fight in Paper Mario.

He is accompanied by Red Goomba and Blue Goomba. The easiest way of defeating him is to hit the Goomnut Tree to make Goomnuts fall on him, doing three damage.

He also appeared in Super Mario 64 DS. Yoshi had to defeat him by eating Goombas and spitting them back at him in order to win back Mario's key to use him in the game.

In the missions section of Mario Kart DS, Toad must complete three laps of the Baby Park course before the Goomboss does. After each lap, Goomboss becomes bigger and bigger, but he has to stop for a few seconds to grow, giving Toad a chance to pass him. Another chance to pass him is when he stops to throw one Goomba on the first lap; one or three Goombas on the second lap; or one, three, or five Goombas on the third lap. If Toad hits a Goomba, he will lose one of his three balloons. If Toad loses all three balloons, he will fail the mission. Occasionally, Goomboss will throw a Mushroom instead of a Goomba, allowing Toad to get a boost of speed. Additionally, on the third lap, Goomboss will cheat and Jump over the center divider, improving his chances of winning. If Toad is in front of Goomboss, the Goomba King will not stop to toss Goombas but will run as fast as he can to catch up.

Paper Mario Stats and Tattle Information

  • HP: 10
  • Attack: 2
  • Defense: 0
  • Tattle: This is the Goomba King. He's really big. I mean, look at him! He looks really powerful. He's the boss of Red Goomba and Blue Goomba. Who cares if he's strong? You're much stronger. Gee, I wonder what he ate to become so big? I'd like to be a bit bigger, too.


In Mario Kart DS, the Goomba King faces off with the player (as Toad) as the boss on level 3 of missions!
