Goomba

Goomba
First Appearance	Super Mario Bros. (1985)
Species Origin	Mushroom

Goombas are one of the major species of Mushroom World. Since their first game appearance in Super Mario Bros., they have appeared as a common foe. Goombas resemble small, brown mushrooms and are a fungus-based species. Goombas are physically weak and are not much of a threat to Mario, since a single stomp usually defeats them, although a number of different Goomba sub-species have emerged throughout the years.

Trivia

• The Goombas, as a collective race, used to be allied with the Mushroom Kingdom. However, many of the Goombas have turned traitorous and joined the Koopa Troop, an organization led by Bowser.
