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 Gamboo often hide in the ground and pop up when the player gets near. These enemies can be thrown when stomped; 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 comes from "Goomba" and "bamboo".[1]
