'''Galoombas''' (called '''Goombas''' before ''Super Mario 3D World'') are enemies that appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''Super Mario 3D World''. They either walk across the ground, parachute from above or float down in bubbles (which burst upon coming into contact with any object), or can even appear with wings to hop around. In ''Super Mario 3D World'', they are given the name Galoomba to distinguish them from actual Goombas.

== Games ==

=== ''Super Mario World'' ===
Galoombas first appear in Super Mario World. Although these creatures walk in straight paths to attack like regular Goombas, they do not resemble the original ones. These Goombas do not have mushroom-shaped heads but rather more spherical ones. They also lack a stem; the Goomba's two feet are attached directly to the bottom of the head. As such, they resemble chestnuts more than mushrooms. Here, they have yellow feet.

They cannot be defeated in a single jump, as doing so flips them over and immobilizes them. In this state, they can be picked up and thrown at other enemies, like with Koopa Troopas. Running into them or jumping on them when flipped causes them to be kicked around (though they do not ricochet, like shells do). After a few seconds they right themselves, which damages [[Mario]] if he is carrying one. They can automatically be defeated with a Spin Jump, with a fireball or an attack from [[Yoshi]]; an attack with the cape causes them to be flipped over as well.

There are two variants of Goombas in the original ''Super Mario World''. Para-Goombas are Goombas which utilize parachutes instead of being Goombas with wings, though Flying Goombas, which are wing-bearing Goombas, also appear, and can only hop on the ground instead of fly. Like Paragoombas, Flying Goombas' wings are clipped after one stomp, reverting them to normal Goombas, and thus, stomping on them after their wings are gone just renders them helpless for a few moments, allowing the player to throw them at other enemies. Spiked versions of Flying Goombas also known as Para-Goombas later appeared in ''Mario Clash''.

In the Game Boy Advance remake, ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'', after the player beats the Special Zone and finds all of the exits, the Goombas are recolored yellow and wear sunglasses.

=== ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' ===
In ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'', a single ''Super Mario World'' Goomba appears at the end of the World-e level Rich with Ropes, where Para-Goombas can also be found. They can be stomped on and grabbed like in ''Super Mario World''.
