Gōra no Mura is the Sprite village that appears in chapter 15 Super Mario-kun Volume 11, located in Wario's Woods. It is a normal forest clearing where its only landmark is a statue of the local guardian god and namesake of the village: Goro (named Gōra in Japanese).

Wanda leads Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Toad, and Birdo to the village, now deserted and in ruins, with trees and plants withering, after Wario's takeover. Wario, having heard of their arrival, arrives at the village and animates the statue of Goro, which attacks the heroes. Wanda, trapped in a bubble, transfers her magic into the ground, giving life to a nearby tree and making bombs grow on it. However, the bombs are useless against the statue, so Wanda suggests using them on the nearby monsters to collect Diamonds to toss at it. The heroes execute the plan and, after Yoshi eats the Diamonds, turning in Daiya Yoshi, he is tossed at the statue, breaking and defeating it. Wario flees and the village returns to normal, making the statue smile in its last moments of movement.
