Goombo
Template:Species-infobox Goombo[1] (also known by its original Japanese name Chibibo[2]) is a variety of Goomba that resides in Sarasaland. Goombos have only appeared in Super Mario Land, and were only referred to as such in the American digital manual for the 2011 port of Super Mario Land to the Virtual Console, twenty-two years after the original game's release.
Like Goombas, Goombos slowly meander to the side aiming to hit Mario. They will not turn around unless they hit an obstacle, and will wander off the edge of platforms. Once stomped or shot with a superball, Mario will be rewarded with one hundred points. After Bombshell Koopas, Goombos are the most common enemy in the game, appearing in all kingdoms except for the Easton Kingdom.
