Goomba: Difference between revisions

Every duel and battle minigame in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' is hosted by a Goomba, who descends from a parachute whenever the event upon initiating the event. After the minigame, the winner and runner-up players are rewarded coins, as well as one coin to the player who placed either third or fourth if the total number of wagered coins is not divisible by two. There is also a Goomba in the tail of an airplane at [[Mystery Land]], and every board features a Goomba-shaped house outside the main area.

Goombas host Duel Minigames in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', like its predecessor. A Goomba is Luigi's default partner in Duel mode, with an Attack value of 2, an HP of 1, and 2 coins per turn as a salary. Goombas jump into the air and kick to attack. A few minigames feature Goombas: [[Curtain Call]], where the player has to memorize them and the order of other enemies; [[Slot Synch]], where a Goomba icon equals a point; and [[Game Guy's Roulette]], where a Goomba icon is in four of the slots and features a coin multiplier of 8.

Goombas appear throughout ''[[Mario Party 5]]''. Two of the engines in [[Super Duel Mode]] are themed after Goomba, the Goomba Engine and the Goomba-Trio Engine, and there is also the Goomba Tires. One is part of the [[Goomba Capsule]], which swaps coins with a random opponent. Goombas appear in a lot of minigames: [[Hotel Goomba]], as obstacles to punch out of the way; [[Triple Jump (minigame)|Triple Jump]], where one is at the 90-feet/30-metres marker; [[Mathletes]], where one is the host; [[Quilt for Speed]], where one side controls a mechanical Goomba; [[Clock Stoppers]], possibly appearing when the team matches the clock hands; [[Mario Can-Can]], as one of the contents; [[Panic Pinball]], where they begin the slots when hit; and in [[Beach Volleyball (Mario Party 5)|Beach Volleyball]] as the referee. Goombas are in the background of Matheletes, [[Will Flower]], [[Fight Cards]], and [[Random Ride]].

A Goomba returns in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' as part of the [[Goomba Orb]], now determining the number of coins to give, as well as in the background of [[Thirsty Gulch]]. Goombas appear in more minigames: [[Odd Card Out]], within the crowd and as one of the pairs; [[Freeze Frame]], where each player tries to capture a picture with the most of them; [[Trap Ease Artist]], where players catch Goombas and their [[Gold Goomba|gold variety]]; [[Word Herd]], where the solo player tries them away from the team players; [[Control Shtick]], hosted by two of them; and [[Lab Brats]], where there is one to rescue.

Goombas host certain board events in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', including [[Pyramid Park]] ('''Desert Goombas''') and [[Bowser's Enchanted Inferno!]] ('''Steel Goombas'''). Goombas also appear in some minigames: [[Big Dripper (minigame)|Big Dripper]], where bees chase then; [[Clock Watchers]], as the host; [[Cardinal Rule]], as a type of card; [[Royal Rumpus]], as species to ground-pound along with the faster gold variety; and [[Spin Off]], as one of the pictures to match. They are also in the background of the minigames [[Kart Wheeled]], [[Dart Attack]], [[Weight for It]], and [[Light Speed]].

Goombas are part of several minigames in ''[[Mario Party DS]]''. Their largest role is in [[Goomba Wrangler]], where players try to circle the most Brown Goombas<ref>{{cite|quote=Brown Goombas are worth one point.|author=In-game instructions|date=2007|title=''Mario Party DS''|publisher=Nintendo}}</ref> and [[Golden Goomba]]s throughout. They are similarly prominent in [[Call of the Goomba]], where players try to lure the most Goombas as they crank the tune of [[Ground BGM]]. [[Soccer Survival]] features a Goomba kicking soccer balls for players to avoid throughout, and [[Shorty Scorers]] similarly features wooden Goombas as the goalkeepers. A Goomba is one of the plushes to avoid in [[Plush Crush]]. A Goomba may appear as the drawing for both teams to trace in [[Double Vision]].

Goombas first appears in the opening cutscene of ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', arriving with [[Bowser]] and the other villains to try and become the Super Star. Goomba is actually playable, complete with his own [[Dice Block#Goomba Dice Block|Goomba Dice Block]]. There are also Goombas in Chestnut Forest, the second area of the Challenge Road mode.

The same Goomba from ''Mario Party'' returns in the Peach's Birthday Cake board in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', except [[Lakitu]] now plants [[Piranha Plant]] seeds instead. The returning minigame [[Archer-ival]] also replaces the Toad target with one of Goomba.

Goomba returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]''. Party-Planner Trek, Goomba appears in [[Rainbow Galleria]] with a [[Markup Sticker]] stuck to its head, and speaking to the Goomba adds it to the player's team for the boss fight against [[Mega Rocky Wrench]]. Several Goombas are non-playable characters, most notably at [[Goomba Lagoon]].
