Spiky Goombas are enemies in the Paper Mario series. They first appear in Paper Mario, in which they are named Spiked Goombas.

Profile[]

Physical description[]

Spiked Goombas are Goombas with a spiked hat on their head.

Behavior[]

A Spiked Goomba's attack style is to jump on Mario and injure him using their spikes. They have an additional point of attack damage.

In Paper Mario series[]

Paper Mario[]

Spiked Goombas appear on the path back to Goomba Village. They are the second enemy that Mario encounters, excluding Jr. Troopa. Spiked Goombas are underlings to the Goomba King but do not assist him in battle.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[]

Spiky Goombas can be found Rogueport Sewers and in Petal Meadows. After Bowser's underlings take over the Rogueport Sewers, Spiky Goombas are rarely found. On occasion they will appear in battle with a Hammer Bro or a Magikoopa.

Super Paper Mario[]

They have been renamed back to Spiked Goombas, which reappear as rather uncommon enemies. They still cannot be jumped on, and the assistance of Pixls such as Boomer, Carrie, and Cudge is required to defeat them. Bowser's Fire Breath is another effective way to take out Spiked Goombas. In one of his quotes, Professor Frankly calls them Spiny Goombas.
