m (Clarity/Accuracy Edit. Also since it's technically possible to take contact damage from Poison Puffs and Ice Puffs I changed "it takes contact damage against enemies with spikes or flames" to "it takes contact damage against certain enemies *such as those with* spikes or flames" and will word it similarly going forward.) |

Headbonk is the main attack of Goombario and Goombella in Paper Mario and its sequel. Headbonk can target any single non-ceiling enemy and can flip over shelled enemies, however it takes contact damage against certain enemies such as those with spikes or flames. If the player hits 
at the moment before impact, the attack will do a second hit doing the same amount of damage. Headbonk deals one damage per hit initially. This increases to two at Super Rank and three at Ultra. The move's 2-hit pattern limits its usefulness against foes with Defense, but also gives it greater effect from power boosts. In short, it is the Goomba partners' version of Mario's Jump attack.
The only thing that distinguishes Goombella's Headbonk from Goombario's is her Stylish move, which is activated by pressing 
right before her feet leave the ground.
In most Paper Mario games, enemy Goombas also attack Mario and/or his partners with this move, including origami Goombas in Paper Mario: The Origami King. However, in Super Paper Mario, only the Headbonk Goomba and Dark Headbonk Goomba, as their names suggest, attack with Headbonks. Other Goombas attack by ramming into Mario and friends. Additionally, in Paper Mario: The Origami King, Bone Goombas can use Skullbonk and Galoombas can use Headbalonk.
