Goomba (film species): Difference between revisions

{{Quote|You may think of evolution as an upward process. Things evolve from primeval slime... up to single-cell organisms... up to... intelligent life. [[De-evolution]], of course, works the opposite way. Back to simpler forms. For instance... even our musical friend, [[Toad (film character)|Toad]]... can become... a loyal child of the royal family. Goombas, ah!|President Koopa|Super Mario Bros. (film)}}

'''Goombas''' are a de-evolved form of [[Dinohattanite]]s appearing in the [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]]. They are the its equivalent of the [[Goomba]]s from the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise, but taking their own unique design where they are depicted as more lizard-like, with tiny saurian heads on a disproportionately large bodies, much taller than human characters. Depending on a Dinohattanite's ancestry, the Goomba's head type varies, showing either the said saurian head, a snake-like head, or a velociraptor-like head. They always wear brown trench coats, the tops of which are shaped vaguely like their game counterparts' heads. They are depicted as being of lower intelligence, and communicating in mainly grunts, but are capable of utilizing weaponry. All Goombas present in the film respond to [[President Koopa]]'s orders, with the exception of Toad. Goombas have an inclination and fondness towards music, a weakness Mario, Luigi and Toad exploit at two different instances in the film.

 

Throughout the film, Goombas appear as low-intelligence cronies responding to Koopa's commands. The kidnapped Brooklyn women, which includes [[Angelica (film character)|Angelica]], [[Daniella]] and [[Princess Daisy (film character)|Daisy]], are held in a part of [[Koopa's Tower]] called "Goomba Barracks" for the majority of the film. It is implied that the Goombas in Koopa's Tower are permanent residents of the Goomba Barracks as shown when Mario and Luigi escape from said tower, they take one of the mattresses the Goombas sleep on to do so. Toad, in his Goomba form, appears in several scenes throughout the film but can be told apart from the other Goombas as he has a harmonica attached to the front of his suit.

Koopa proceeds to take to the streets of his kingdom, dragging Daisy along, and holding a megaphone on the other hand. He is lead by a Goomba driving a car, and a large crowd of Goombas following him, as he demands that Mario and Luigi turn over the meteorite piece over to him. After Koopa is hit with an [[Exploding Mushroom]], he demands from his Goombas that they cleanse him off the fungus residue left behind by the blast. When the dimensions are briefly merged by the Goomba-fied Spike and Iggy, the Goombas begin de-evolving humans into chimpanzees.
