Not to be confused with Elite Gritty Goombas, a stronger variant of Gritty Goombas that originally had the same name as them.

Gritty Goomba is an enemy in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. It is encountered in Teehee Valley. A Gritty Goomba is covered in sand-colored cloth, and it has a spike with a red flag wrapped around it strapped to its back.

During battle, whenever Gritty Goombas try to ram into Mario or Luigi, the targeted brother can counter the Gritty Goomba using their hammer.

They, along with Spiky Snifits, attack Princess Peach as she tried to cross Teehee Valley to Little Fungitown and the Mario Bros. must save her from these enemies. If they fail, Peach goes down a Warp Pipe to a secret hideout on which Mario and Luigi can hack into to save her. They were mysteriously replaced by Anuboos after gaining the first piece of the Beanstar but still appear in battles.

Gritty Goombas have a stronger variant named Elite Gritty Goombas, which were also named Gritty Goombas in the original Game Boy Advance version. Elite Gritty Goombas resemble Gritty Goombas, except their bandages are brown and they have a green flag wrapped around their spike.
