Goomba: Difference between revisions

[[File:4-1Goomba SMA3.png|frame|left|Goombas' only appearance in the game ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''.]]

During the early years of Bowser's life, Goombas saw limited deployment. A large portion of the Koopa Troop was made up of [[Shy Guys]] and [[Koopa Troopa]]s at this time – Goombas were not the common enemy they would become in later years. In fact, during the events of ''[[Super Mario World 2: [[Yoshi's Island]]'', Goombas only appeared in one level: World 4-1 [[GO! GO! MARIO!!]] In this level, Goombas would attempt to walk into [[Yoshi]], knocking off [[Baby Mario]] so that the child could be captured by [[Kamek]]'s [[Toadies]]. These mushroom baddies would walk very slowly, and though were extremely resilient, they did not pose much of a threat. When Yoshi [[stomp]]ed the brown fungus, the Goomba would flatten like a pancake, but not be destroyed; they could even walk into and damage Yoshi in this state. After some time, the Goomba would "pop" and assume its standard mushroom shape. These durable Goombas could be defeated with a well aimed [[egg]] toss, a powerful [[Ground Pound]] attack, or simply be eaten by Yoshi and transformed into [[Yoshi Egg]]s. The brown mushroom could also be eaten and immediately spat out to attack other nearby enemies. Strangely, before these [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]] Goombas [[jump]]ed off a ledge, they would wiggle their eyebrows.
