The Kaboomba[1] is a walking cannon enemy that first appears in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Its name is supposedly a portmanteau of "kaboom" and "Goomba", despite Kaboombas having no relation to Goombas other than being walking enemies.

History

Yoshi's Island series

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Kaboomba.PNG

Kaboombas only appear in The Cave Of The Mystery Maze and Raphael The Raven's Castle. They attack by shooting heavy cannonballs that fall to the ground and explode after a few seconds. Yoshi can safely stand on them, and eating them does nothing. An egg or Ground Pound disposes of them.

Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3

Kaboomba

Kaboombas retain their role in the Game Boy Advance port, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3.

Yoshi's New Island

Kaboombas make a return appearance in Yoshi's New Island.

Super Princess Peach

A Cannon from Super Princess Peach

Kaboombas also appear in Super Princess Peach, where they are named Cannons. The Calm Cannon, a sleeping variety, also appeared.

Other appearances

Kaboombas and an unused big variant were originally designed during the development of Super Mario World,[2] where they would have shot Green Shells.[3] They would have had white shoes, which also appear in early assets of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.[4]
