The Goomba (Japanese: クリボー; Kuribō) is a creature that lives in various areas. In Ness Snorlaxia, it is the national animal. Goombas have a varying level of intelligence; they can be as smart as any human (ex: Goombella), or not smart at all and only walk in a straight line, sometimes falling into a pit.<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">

A typical Goomba
Characteristics
The typical Goomba is brownish-orange or yellow and look like mushrooms with feet. They have bushy eyebrows that form into a scowl. Sometimes, Goombas have fangs. Despite having no arms or hands, this does not limit the ability of a Goomba to pick up things.
Goombas can hurt other beings by biting, flying, spitting thorns, and hopping onto the target. However, they are easily killed by someone jumping on them. Goombas have prevented this, however, by wearing hats, usually with spikes.
The unintelligent Goombas are commonly found in the wild, or are pets. Goombas are sometimes found in crates, party balls, barrels, and Pokéballs.
Variants
There are many different types of Goomba, listed below.
| Goomba Variants | |
|---|---|
| Mouthless Goomba | This kind of Goomba has all of the regular features of a Goomba, although it appears to lack a mouth. It also has a rounded triangle-shape head. |
| Little Goomba | This Goomba looks similar to a mushroom. Sometimes hops around in a Kuribo's Shoe. Most common form. |
| Micro Goomba / Goombette | Small version of Goomba, usually about the size of a human foot. Can attach onto a creature to slow it down. Micro Goombas are children of Para-Goombas. |
| Rounded Goomba | This kind of Goomba is spherical, and the feet are attached directly to the head. When stomped on, this Goomba will not be squished; it'll just loose conciousness. |
| Para-Goomba | A Goomba with wings, and is one of the most common types. Has two variations; a lighter coloured-one which can release Micro Goombas, and a darker one. |
| Gu Goomba | This kind of Goomba has a light-green hue. Likes to hide behind statues and ram into other people. |
| Goomba King / Goomboss | There is only one of these, and he is the king of the Goombas. Although he was once evil, he now does good. |
| Red Goomba | Like a regular Goomba, but is stronger and is red. |
| Blue Goomba | Like a regular Goomba, but is blue. Unlike most other Goombas, it has a visible nose. Contracts diseases easier than other types of Goombas. |
| Gloomba | A darker-coloured Goomba that is found in tunnels. Has a Spiked and Para- variant. A little stronger than the average Goomba. |
| Hyper Goomba | A greenish-coloured Goomba that is found in the wild. This Goomba type is one of the strongest and can charge its attack. Has a Spiked and Para- variant. |
| Gritty Goomba | This Goomba variant has bandages wrapped around itself and a spear on its head. These Goombas have been known to kidnap people and take them into pipes. |
| Polka-dot Goombas | This kind of Goomba is unique as it does not look like the regular kinds, and unlike others, are only found in tropical areas. This kind is more "flat" than the others. It has a little tuft of hair sticking out the top of its head, no eyebrows, has a large nose, no visible mouth, polka-dotted bottom, and blue feet. Sometimes, they will stack up on one another. |
