Flying Goombas[1] are Galoombas with wings, first appearing in Super Mario World. They act much like Paragoombas do; typically, they jump around using their wings, but some works such as the Super Mario World television series and Mario Party 3 depict them as capable of full flight.
History
Super Mario series
Super Mario World
Flying Goombas first appear in Super Mario World and its remake, Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2. Once stomped on, they change into wingless Goombas, like how Paragoombas turn into regular Goombas when stomped.
Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS / Super Mario Maker 2
They reappear in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2, exclusively in the Super Mario World style, if the player puts wings on a Galoomba.
Super Mario World television series
In the Super Mario World cartoons, Flying Goombas only appear once, in the show's series premiere, "Fire Sale", where several Flying Goombas appear to attack Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Yoshi. This swarm of Flying Goombas is eventually defeated by Mario, who knocks them away after jumping through the air. These Flying Goombas appear to be an odd cross between Flying Goombas and the standard Paragoombas of Super Mario Bros. 3 and later games, as they have the facial design and lack of stem of the former, yet their heads have a mushroom-like shape akin to the former.
Super Mario Adventures
In Super Mario Adventures, a Flying Goomba makes a relatively minor appearance, being seen among the creatures sent by Bowser to attack Princess Toadstool's Palace. One is also seen among the attendees to Bowser's marriage to the hypnotized Princess Toadstool.
Mario Party 3
In Mario Party 3, they appear as obstacles in the minigame Ridiculous Relay, slowing the player down when bumped into.
Mario Family
A Flying Goomba appears as a sewing pattern in Mario Family.
