Before the battle, a seemingly regular [[Goomba]] walks on-screen before transforming into Mega Goomba and commencing the battle. When it grows, it makes a sound similar to touching a [[Mega Mushroom]], only somewhat more menacing. [[Mario]] must defeat this boss to acquire the [[key]] that provides access to [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]].


To defeat Mega Goomba, Mario can activate a switch, causing two platforms to appear. When Mario stands on the platform, it will elevate in the air. From there, Mario can either [[Wall Jump]], [[Jump]], or [[Ground Pound]] directly on top of Mega Goomba. For the attack to be successful, Mario must Ground Pound the Goomba (unless he is [[Mega Mario]] or [[Shell Mario]]). Mario can also go off to the side, simply wall jump, then ground pound on Mega Goomba. It is possible to defeat Mega Goomba without using the [[? Switch]]. To do this Mario or Luigi must perform [[Wall Jump]]s. If Mario is in his [[Fire Mario|Fire form]], he can also defeat Mega Goomba if he stays on the far left area and shoots enough [[fireball]]s to defeat it; when Mega Goomba approaches Mario on the far left side, it does not hurt Mario due to its mushroom-sized hitbox.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Mega Goomba is mentioned in the [[Big Goomba|Giant Goomba]]'s [[trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] description.


Once Mario Ground Pounds Mega Goomba three times (or nine times if Mario is in his [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini form]]), the Goomba will be defeated, and Mario can get the key to World 5.
