Just before the battle starts, Mega Goomba is first shown to be a regular [[Goomba]], and it walks onscreen before transforming into the Mega Goomba. While growing, Mega Goomba makes a sound similar to touching a [[Mega Mushroom]]. To defeat the Mega Goomba, [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) can activate a [[? Switch]], causing two [[platform]]s to appear. When Mario stands on a platform, it will elevate in the air. From there, Mario has to [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]] onto the Mega Goomba to attack it. Alternatively, [[Mega Mario]], [[Shell Mario]]'s [[Shell Dash]] technique, or [[Fire Mario]]'s [[fireball]]s can also damage Mega Goomba. If the Mega Goomba approaches Mario on the far left or right side, it does not hurt him due to its mushroom-sized hitbox. It takes three ground-pounds to defeat the Mega Goomba, or nine if Mario is in his [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini form]]. When Mega Goomba is defeated, the [[key]] to [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]] is released.

Before the battle, a seemingly regular [[Goomba]] walks onscreen before transforming into the Mega Goomba and commencing the battle. When it grows, it makes a sound similar to touching a [[Mega Mushroom]], only somewhat more menacing. [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) must defeat this boss to acquire the [[key]] that provides access to [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]].


In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Mega Goomba is mentioned in the [[Big Goomba|Giant Goomba]]'s [[trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] description.
To defeat the Mega Goomba, Mario can activate a switch, causing two [[platform]]s to appear. When Mario stands on one of them, it will elevate in the air. From there, Mario can either [[Wall Jump|wall-jump]], [[jump]], or [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]] directly on top of the Mega Goomba. For the attack to be successful, Mario must ground-pound the Goomba (unless he is [[Mega Mario]] or [[Shell Mario]]). Mario can also go off to the side, simply wall-jump, then ground-pound on the Mega Goomba. It is possible to defeat the Mega Goomba without using the [[? Switch]]. To do this, Mario must perform Wall Jumps. If Mario is in his [[Fire Mario|Fire form]], he can also defeat the Mega Goomba if he shoots enough [[fireball]]s at it. Additionally, if the Mega Goomba approaches Mario on the far left or right side, it does not hurt him due to its mushroom-sized hitbox.

Once Mario ground-pounds the Mega Goomba three times (or nine times if Mario is in his [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini form]]), the Goomba will be defeated, and Mario can get the key to World 5.
