A '''Kaboomba''' is a walking cannon enemy found in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. They shoot [[cannonball]]s that explode after a few seconds. Kaboombas only appear in [[The Cave of the Mystery Maze]] and [[Raphael the Raven's Castle]]. Stomping them lets the player ride on them, and eating them does nothing. An [[Yoshi Egg|egg]] or ground pound disposes of them.

The name "Kaboomba" is a portmanteau of the words "Kaboom!" (onomatopoeia for an explosion) and [[Goomba]]. Due to the Kaboombas' lack of similarities with Goombas, though, the name "Kaboomba" may just be a form of "Kaboom!". The [[Kaboomka Fireworks Factory]] was named in a similar style.
