[[Image:BooOmba.gif|right|frame|]]A '''Boo-Omba''' is an undead [[Goomba]]. It is, essentialy, a cross between an ordinary Goomba and a [[Boo]], thus resulting in an enemy that is invincible, like a Boo, but acts like the feeble mushroom creature, Goomba. It is only found in side the [[Pumpkin Zone]] of [[Super Mario Land 2]].
