History
Goombas as a species were once allied with the Mushroom Kingdom. However, when the Koopa Troop declared war on the Mushroom Kingdom some years ago, many Goombas defected. Though they were initially less prominent within the Koopa Troop than races like the Shy Guys, as seen in Yoshi's Island, they quickly became the most notable component of that group besides the eponymous Koopas, and have since become one of the most prolific races in gaming.

Basics

 * A mushroom-like creature with a spare of small feet, closely resembling the shiitake mushroom.
 * Approximately 70 centimeters tall, or about 2 feet and 4 inches.

Basic Combat Strategies

 * Main strategies are patrols and frontal assaults.
 * Goombas on patrol will march back and forth between large objects such as pipes. They will often be in groups of three or so, walking in a row. Sometimes, a solitary Goomba will patrol a small circle. Al
 * Charging Goombas will run straight at their foe at a moderate pace, regardless of unfavorable odds or common sense.
 * Typically bites opponents, with the occasional headbutt, roll, headbonks, and kicks.
 * The headbonk is a headbutt preceded by a jump into the air.
 * Some have shot thorns, a mid-ranged attack
 * Adapts well to various environments

Gomba Tower

 * A Goomba formation where two to ten Goombas will stand on one another.
 * As Goombas are vulnerable from above, this reduces the danger of jumping opponents.
 * Individual Goombas in a tower can still be defeated, but this doesn't destroy the tower as a whole.
 * A Goombas Tower can be destroyed with a single ground pound
 * Towers can include a non-Goomba ally or item on top.

Goomba's Shoe

 * A somewhat rare vehicle, also called the Kuribo's Shoe.
 * Allows a goomba to jump upon foes
 * Jump heights are shorter than those of Mario
 * Allow user to leap on spikes and spiky enemies without harm.
 * Can not be pierced by Spikes or Spinies
 * Can be stolen easily

Other Equipment

 * Can hold balloons, which allow for vertical flight until they eventually pop, after which the Goomba can land on a platform and fight as usual.
 * Super Leaf and Super Bell can grant goombas limited flight and new attacks, similar to Mario himself.
 * Can wear diving helmets to walk along the ocean floor.

Telekinesis Powers

 * Goombas can use baseball equipment despite their lack of arms
 * This strange ability is lampshaded in-universe as being mysterious. However, it was seemingly reconfirmed in New Super Mario Bros U, where some hold balloons.
 * The largest object moved is a baseball bat, no more than approximately three pounds, or about 1.3 kilograms. Furthermore, all objects moved are within close proximity.
 * In-game attributes suggest that telekinesis allows for only average pitching of a baseball and subpar batting, suggesting that it is best used for manipulating only light objects, even within a short distance.
 * Consistently behave in a "right-handed" fashion.

Big Goomba

 * Two times taller than the normal Goomba.
 * One variety, the Mega Goomba, is four times the typical height.
 * Attack power increases to a similar magnitude as height.
 * Remain vulnerable to attacks from above, though there is some improvement
 * Some Big/Mega Goombas are composed of multiple smaller Goombas

Paragoombas

 * Have a pair of wings, allowing for limited flight.
 * Best used either for hovering or hopping along the ground
 * Though true flight is possible, it is slow and doesn't allow for attacks.
 * Can drop Micro-Goombas, which leap upon foes to hinder their movement.
 * Becomes A Powerful Admin XD

Feats

 * Has killed Mario many times before
 * Sturdy enough to send a speeding kart carrying Bowser and Bowser Jr. spinning, slowing it to a near-stop.
 * Despite their bullheaded nature, Goombas are fairly intelligent. Individual Goombas such as Goombario and Goombella displayed greater knowledge of Mario's enemies than he did, a "University of Goom" exists, and various Goombas have been seen repairing damaged buildings.

Weaknesses

 * Often defeated with a single attack from above or projectile.
 * Especially vulnerable to attacks from above.

Trivia

 * Goombas are named for the Italian-American slang "Goombah," which is used either to refer to one's companions or accomplices.
 * The Goomba lost to Dan Hibiki, making him one of the weakest What-if combatants.
 * Despite common belief, Goombas did not appear in Super Mario World. That game featured Galoombas, a similar yet distinct race. Likewise, they should not be confused with the Goombo, a similar species that appears in 'Super Mario Land''. Note that these two games take place outside of the Mushroom Kingdom, the Goomba's homeland.
