Profile[]
Physical description[]
Grombas are a variant of Goombas with a rock-like body and a hole at its center for their eyes to see. The creatures also has grass on top of their head and rocks for feet.
Behavior[]
Grombas attack by either tripping and rolling toward Mario or Luigi or by digging out a rock with their feet and kicking it towards the Mario Bros. Mario or Luigi can counter either attack by jumping. The former attack's target can be discerned by watching which direction the Gromba faces as it trips. If it faces northwest, it targets Mario, and if it faces southwest, it targets Luigi.
In the field, Grombas do not often chase Mario and Luigi upon sight, unlike other enemies.
