Goomba

Goombas are the most common enemies found in the game. They are small brown enemies with sharp teeth. If their eyes catch you, they quickly charge at you in an attempt to deplete your health. Goombas are one of the easiest enemies in the game and are found all over the galaxies and worlds. Giant Goombas can be found in Supermassive Galaxy.

Defeating Goombas
The normal Goombas are a lot harder to dispatch than Micro Goombas. If you spin into them or shoot a star bit at them they will flip upside down and start rolling like tops. So continuously spining into them will not defeat them. The spin kick combo, and the star bit kick combo are the most basic ways of dispatching them. You may also keep spinning into them until they fall off a ledge. A stomp to the head puts down goombas in one shot. A fire ball or a boulder attack will put goombas out in one hit. With Yoshi, simply swallow goombas to defeat them. If a goomba is defeated by the use of spinning or eating, it will release 3 star bits. If you stomp on a goomba your prize is a coin. Rolling goombas of the edge results in no prizes. Giant goombas are too large to be stomped on, so you must use the spin kick combo to defeat them. Giant Goombas release many star bits when defeated.
