'''Gloombas''' are navy blue [[Goomba]]s that appear in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series. Gloombas live deep underground, and are much more powerful than their surface-dwelling cousins. The coloration of Gloombas resemble that of the Goombas found in underground levels in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', while their name is a portmanteau of "gloom" and "Goomba."

 

 

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Gloombas appear solely in [[Toad Town Tunnels]], where they are the most basic enemy. Like normal Goombas, they are weak to every type of attack, but are much more durable than them. They appear alongside [[Paragloomba]]s and [[Spiky Gloomba|Spiked Gloomba]]s.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Gloombas now inhabit the early floors of the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]] along with their subtypes. This game reveals that Gloombas' coloration is a result of not getting any sunlight. They act effectively the same as before, but are slightly stronger.

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Gloombas initially appear in the underground portion of World 3-1, [[The Bitlands]], where they stand in for the blue Goombas from ''Super Mario Bros.'' Later, they appear in [[Castle Bleck Foyer]] and the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]]. Their subtypes are not present in this game. In the [[Prima Games|Prima]] strategy guide, it is stated that Gloombas can [[Poison (status effect)|poison]] the player,<ref>Black, Fletcher. 2007.
