Gamboos[1] are bamboo-like enemies of various colors often seen in stacks that were introduced in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Green and purple variants were introduced in The Midway Trial: Hop to It, with metallic ones being first shown in Missile Meg Mayhem. Stacks of Gamboos often hide in the ground and pop up when the player gets near. These enemies can be thrown when stomped, being capable of defeating other enemies the same as a Shell, but functioning differently as they instead bounce off the ground a few times before losing momentum. Their English name is an anagram of "Goomba" that rhymes with "bamboo".[1]

Metallic Gamboos are immune to Fire Mario's fireballs and can interact with electricity in the level High-Voltage Gauntlet. In its electrical state, the player cannot touch them (unless using an attack in either Drill Form or Elephant Form) without taking damage, even if the enemy is in its stomped state.

Purple Gamboos turn around when facing a ledge, while their green counterparts fall off of edges. Some can also be seen either dancing in place or joyously singing while walking during different Wonder Effects.
