Goombas also known as Little Goombas are one of the major species of Mushroom World and are among Mario and Luigi039s most persistent foes. They first appeared in the game Super Mario Bros. and have been a common enemy ever since. Goombas resemble small brown mushrooms and are a fungusbased species like Toads Amanitas Spooks and Shroobs. Goombas are physically weak and aren039t much of a threat to adventurers as a single stomp usually defeats them although a number of powerful Goomba subspecies have emerged throughout the years. 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. While a vast majority of Goombas allied themselves with the Koopa king others became independent thieves or even formed peaceful Goomba communities. From the Super Mario Wiki
