| {{Quote|You may think of evolution as an upward process. Things evolve from primeval slime... up to single-cell organisms... up to... intelligent life. [[De-evolution]], of course, works the opposite way. Back to simpler forms. For instance... even our musical friend, Toad... can become... a loyal child of the royal family.

| '''Goombas''' are a [[De-evolution|de-evolved]] form of [[Dinohattanite]]s appearing in the 1993 [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]]. They are the film's equivalent of the [[Goomba]]s from ''Super Mario Bros.'', but taking their own unique design where they are depicted as more lizard-like, with tiny saurian heads on a disproportionately large bodies, much taller than human characters. Depending on a Dinohattanite's ancestry, the Goomba's head type varies, showing either a rounded head, a snake-like head, or a raptor-like head. They are depicted as being of lower intelligence, and communicating in mainly grunts, but are capable of utilizing weaponry. All Goombas present in the film respond to [[President Koopa]]'s orders, with the exception of [[Toad (film character)|Toad]].

| ===''Super Mario Bros.'' film===
| |
| A Goomba is introduced briefly when [[Mario (film character)|Mario]] and [[Luigi (film character)|Luigi]] are running around [[Koopa Square]] confused of their whereabouts. They are properly introduced later on when [[Toad (film character)|Toad]]'s character is arrested and sentenced to become a Goomba for singing Anti-Koopa songs; it is also implied that this was the fate of anyone within [[Dinohattan]] who committed crimes short of de-evolution of Primordial Slime. President Koopa showcases his abilities to de-evolve Dinohattanites with his [[Devo Chamber]] machine to Mario and Luigi, when Toad is turned into a Goomba. Mario and Luigi, enraged after having witnessed Toad's fate, attempt to push Koopa into the machine and then escape out of the Devo Chamber.

| Throughout the film, Goombas appear as low-intelligence cronies responding to Koopa's commands. The kidnapped Brooklyn women, which includes [[Angelica (film character)|Angelica]], [[Daniella]] and [[Princess Daisy (film character)|Daisy]], are held in a part of [[Koopa's Tower]] called "Goomba Barracks" for the majority of the film. It is implied that the Goombas in Koopa's Tower are permanent residents of the Goomba Barracks. Toad, in his Goomba form, appears in several scenes throughout the film but can be told apart from the other Goombas as he has a harmonica attached to the front of his suit.

| Various Goombas were later outfitted with [[Devolution Gun]]s in preparation of invading [[Earth]]. The Goombas, however, often had a weakness for dancing; Mario and Luigi discover this when they are hiding in an elevator that they occupy. Mario and Luigi begin rocking the Goombas back and forth to the elevator music playing. They begin to take a liking to dancing as evidenced by Toad later exploiting this to prevent the Goombas from following Koopa's order to shoot Mario after the dimensions become separated once again. After Koopa is successfully defeated, Goombas can be seen dancing in couples in Koopa Square.

| |
| *The song "[[Walk the Dinosaur]]" featured on the official soundtrack credits the song to "The Goombas featuring {{wp|George Clinton (funk musician)|George Clinton}}". This is for humorous intent. The dancing Goombas from the film are featured in the music video.
