'''Octoombas'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. 2010. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Premiere Edition guide. Page 28.</ref><ref>Musa, Alexander, and Geson Hatchett. 2013. ''Super Mario 3D World'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. {{page needed}}</ref>, originally referred to as '''Electrogoombas'''<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide, page 41.</ref>, are [[List of enemies|enemies]] that first appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They are very common aliens in most [[Galaxy|galaxies]], and bear resemblances to [[Goomba]]s and [[Octopus (Super Mario Galaxy)|Octopus]], both of which contribute to the name.

 

Electrogoombas debut in the first mission of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and reappear as common enemies in many subsequent galaxies. If Mario comes near one, it will try to headbutt him with its antenna. They can be defeated by [[spin]]ning them or by jumping on them. Once defeated, they leave behind three [[Star Bit]]s (if they were spun) or a [[coin]] (if they were jumped on). There is also a timid, rock-spitting variant of them them called [[Octoguy]], and a large relative simply called [[Octopus (Super Mario Galaxy)|octopus]].

Octoombas reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They attack Mario by spitting rocks at Mario just like [[Octoguy]]s. The species' current name is revealed by a [[Luma (species)|Luma]] who guides Mario through a large planet. Two variations are also introduced in the game: [[Elite Octoomba]]s and [[Octoboo]]s.

Octoombas return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' as enemies in bonus world stages, such as [[Super Galaxy]], [[Gigantic Seasick Wreck]], and [[Champion's Road]]. Their attack pattern has changed once again - they now spit three cannonballs (although they can be jumped on) in a straight line instead of a single rock. Octoombas are also much stronger than in the previous games, as they are resilient to almost every attack (including Rosalina's [[Spin]] attack). They can only be defeated with a [[Ground Pound]]. Octoombas are now stationary, and only rotate in position, instead of moving back and forth.

*Octoombas resemble both [[zeldawiki:Octorok|Octorok]]s and [[zeldawiki:Deku Scrubs|Deku Scrubs]] from many ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]]'' games. Their name is likely based on Octoroks as well.
