==History==
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
[[File:Metal Goomba.png|frame|left]]
Goombeetles first appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They are mostly found in Bowser's and Bowser Jr.'s galaxies. They are also found in the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]] and the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]]. They attack by charging at Mario, just as regular Goombas. However, unlike regular Goombas, they cannot be defeated by being jumped on due to their helmets. To defeat them, Mario must flip them with a [[spin]] and then jump on them. Each one defeated releases a coin. If they are, however, defeated with a [[Bullet Bill]], they will release three [[Star Bit]]s.

===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
The Goombeetles reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They act and appear the same way as they did in the previous game. They appear in [[Bowser Jr.'s Fiery Flotilla]], [[Beat Block Galaxy]] and [[Chompworks Galaxy]]. They can be defeated by the [[Co-Star Luma]] or instantly defeated by a [[Chomp]], which like the previous game causes them to release three Star Bits.
