'''Gloombas''' are navy blue [[Goomba]]s that appear in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series. Gloombas live deep underground, and are much more powerful than their surface-dwelling cousins. The coloration of Gloombas resembles that of the [[:File:SMBBlueGoomba.gif|Goombas found in underground levels]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' (especially their [[:File:SMAS SMB Cave Goomba.gif|appearance]] in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' versions of both games), while their name is a portmanteau of "gloom" and "Goomba".



==History==
===''Paper Mario''===
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Gloombas appear solely in [[Toad Town Tunnels]], where they are the most basic enemy. Like normal Goombas, they are weak to every type of attack, but are much more durable than them. They appear alongside [[Paragloomba]]s and [[Spiky Gloomba|Spiked Gloombas]].

===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], Gloombas inhabit floors 1-9 of the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]], with their subtypes appearing in later floors. This game reveals that Gloombas' coloration is a result of not getting any sunlight. They act effectively the same as before, but are slightly stronger.

===''Super Paper Mario''===
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Gloombas initially appear in the underground portion of World 3-1, [[The Bitlands]], where they stand in for the blue Goombas from ''Super Mario Bros.'' Later, they appear in [[Castle Bleck Foyer]] and the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]]. Their subtypes are not present in this game. In the [[Prima Games|Prima]] strategy guide, it is stated that Gloombas can [[Poison (status effect)|poison]] the player,<ref>{{cite|author=Black, Fletcher|date=April 10, 2007|title=Super Paper Mario Prima Official Game Guide|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|isbn=0-7615-5645-9|page=189}}</ref> though this is false.
