This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.
Spiky Goombas, also known as Spiked Goombas are Goombas that have thought of a creative way to avoid being squished by Mario. They wear green hats similar to Spike Top shells to prevent Jump moves from working, covering the common Goomba's weakness. They are tougher than regular Goombas and Paragoombas. They are the strongest of the Goomba family tree. While their spiky helmets are a great defense against jumps, they're still defenseless against certain attacks. Mario's Hammer or Bowser's fire breath are two good examples.
Paper Mario
Spiky Goombas (Called "Spiked Goombas" in this game) made their first appearance here.
Goombario Tattle: "This is a Spiked Goomba. Spiked Goombas are Goombas with spikes on their heads. Max HP: 2, Attack Power: 2, Defense Power: 0 Whatever you do, don't jump on their spikes or you'll get hurt or even paralyzed!"
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
That's a Spiky Goomba. ...A spiky-headed Goomba. What a creative name. That spike is super-pointy, so it's better to hit it with a hammer than jump on it. Maximum HP is 2, Attack is 2, and Defense is 0. The addition of the spike means you'll hurt your feet if you jump on it. Duh!
