The Para-Goom[1] is an enemy species that appeared in Wario Land 3 and Dr. Mario 64. Despite their name, Para-Gooms have no wings, but can glide (as well as do several other things) with the help of their main weapon: a parasol.

Para-Gooms have rather varying attack patterns in their first appearance, Wario Land 3. In this game, they were yellow, round, parasol-toting creatures that vaguely resembled Wanderin' Gooms. They could use their parasol for a variety of different attacks, but they most often seemed to use it as a spiked weapon placed in front of them (creating an attacking method identical to that of the enemy Spearhead). However, they could also put it above their heads, moving its spikes and letting it therefore damage Wario from the above. When they attack this way, they have the ability to glide diagonally or straight down if they happen to reach a ledge. They are also used as a reluctant golf ball in the Golf mini-game.

An individual Para-Goom appeared in Dr. Mario 64. It was an instructor for Dr. Mario's tutorial.
