'''Goomba Towers''', also known as '''Goomba Stacks'''<ref>From the ''Super Mario Odyssey'' Power Moon name "Ice-Dodging Goomba Stack"</ref>, are [[Goomba]]s stacked on top of each other that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They behave similar to the [[Dango]]s in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.

Goomba Towers attack in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' by running at the player and attempting to hit them in a similar fashion to individual Goombas. Goomba Towers can be shortened or defeated depending on how many Goombas the stack has. For example, attacking a stack of four will reduce it to three, and so on. Alternatively, they can be defeated all at once with a [[Ground Pound]] or as [[Statue Mario]]. They can be defeated one-at-a-time by being [[jump|jumped]] on, being hit with a fireball or boomerang, being hit with [[Tanooki Mario]]'s tail or being hit while Mario is invincible.

Three Goomba Towers are seen in Peach's [[Letter]]s. Two try to attack her when she attempts to escape, but she defeats one with [[Peach's Parasol|her parasol]] (apparently getting a [[Extra Life|1-Up]] in the process). Another Goomba Tower is later seen chasing Peach with [[Bowser]] and his other minions. During the credits, Bowser is seen on top of a massive Goomba Tower, trying to reach Mario, who is carrying Peach home in his Tanooki form, though the tower falls over due to Bowser's weight.

Goomba Towers reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', and can be defeated by the same methods as before. They can be affected by the [[Gold Ring]], where they function the same as [[Gold Goomba]]s.

They first appear in [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-1]], where the first one appears before the [[Checkpoint Flag]], and two more appear right in front of the [[Goal Pole]]. If Mario defeats Goombas in a Goomba Tower without fully defeating the tower, and then walks offscreen, the Goomba Tower will go back to the original number of Goombas.

Goomba Towers once again return as common enemies in the game ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. Once again, their attack pattern is simply to try to ram Mario or his allies. Some Goomba Towers have a [[Fire Bro]] at the top, and defeating it will take out the whole tower. Goomba Towers can also hold objects such as [[Green Star]]s, power-ups, and [[Coin]]s. Some Goomba Towers can be found with all the Goombas sleeping. In the ''Bowser’s Fury'' campaign, Cat Goombas can appear stacked up on top of each other.

Goomba Towers reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They are created when the player stacks multiple Goombas on top of each other when creating a level. Big Goomba Towers can be created by stacking [[Big Goomba]]s that were enlarged by a [[Super Mushroom]]. They cannot be made in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style due to the inability to stack enemies.

Goomba Towers reappear as enemies in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They can be found in most of the kingdoms in the game. This is their first appearance in a more sandbox-styled 3D game. If Mario [[capture]]s a Goomba and jumps on other Goombas, he can make and control a Goomba Tower himself. Captured Goomba Towers are required to activate [[Goomba button]]s. Additionally, Goomba Towers can be used for collectibles impossible to reach otherwise, such as [[regional coin]]s or Power Moons in a high place that are unobtainable in Mario's regular form.

Unlike most other enemies, Goomba Towers do not get dazed when Mario uncaptures them.


The maximum number of Goombas there can be in a Goomba Tower legitimately is 30. This can be done in the [[Darker Side]], in the area with the [[Yoofoe]]. The game itself can actually handle up to 200 Goombas in a stack before the Switch crashes.<ref>SKELUX (October 4, 2018).

Goomba Towers appear in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' in the [[Goomba Spotting]] [[minigame]], where players attempt to count the total number of Goombas that run across the screen as accurately as possible. Sometimes, [[Buzzy Beetle]]s appear in the tower to trick the players into tallying them.

A Goomba Tower appears as a playable doctor in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' under the name '''Dr. Goomba Tower''', released on April 26, 2020. Dr. Goomba Tower is available as a special stage reward in [[World 22]]. In stage mode and versus mode, Dr. Goomba Tower's skill is to target several locations to be eliminated, which is represented by the stacked Goombas wobbling before losing their balance where the individual Goombas falling down. The amount of targets is 10 spots in stage mode and 6, 12, 18, 24 and 30 targets in versus mode at level 1 to 5 (3, 5, 7, 10 and 15 respectively prior to season 7 in versus mode). When using this skill, at least one object is guaranteed to be targeted for being eliminated, while the rest are random. This skill will not target any unclearable objects, such as cages or [[Empty Block]]s.
