'''Goomdivers''' are diving-helmet-clad [[Goomba]]s in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They appear in underwater locales, such as [[Oho Ocean]]. They have two different ways of attacking: either they charge directly at either [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], which is countered by [[Jump|jumping]], or they swim up and slowly spiral towards Mario or Luigi, which is countered with the [[hammer]]. If they swim up, they will continue to be elevated, meaning that only the jump will be able to hit them.

Goomdivers are diving-helmet-clad Goombas that appear in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. Their names are a combination of "Goomba" and "diver". They are found in the Seabed, and are sometimes assisted by Bloopers in battle. In the overworld, Goomdivers dive down into view from off-screen in an attempt to land on Mario and Luigi to initiate a battle; this is signaled by a small circle of bubbles indicating their landing spot.

Goomdivers are very similar to the Aqua Goomba, another Goomba in a diving helmet that appears in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.

Battle[edit]

Goomdivers will attack by either leaping directly at Mario or Luigi, which is countered by jumping, or swimming upward and slowly drifting towards one of the Bros., which is countered with the hammer. If they use the latter attack, they will remain elevated, rendering them immune to ground-based moves and Bros. Attacks.
