Hyper Goomba
Hyper Goombas (and the rest of the "hyper" sub-species, for that matter) first appeared in Paper Mario. They live in Gusty Gulch, including the space beneath the Windy Mill. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door introduced a few new "hyper" creatures. Along with that, it revealed that Hyper Goombas and their clan also live in Twilight Trail.
Hyper Goombas have the ability to raise their attack power by 6, allowing them to do a lot of damage. It is highly suggested that they are defeated before they can attack.
Hyper Goombas may be Gu Goombas from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, or close species.
Sub-Species
Hyper Paragoomba
Flying around, outside the Windy Mill, are the Hyper Paragoombas, flying versions of the Hyper Goomba. Hyper Paragoombas attack quickly, making defense difficult. Like their relatives, they can also raise their attack power by 6.
Hyper Spiky Goomba
Hyper Spiked Goombas are Hyper Goombas with spikes on their heads, making jumping difficult. They are also the speediest of the bunch, and are as fast as--if not faster than--Mario. They are able to raise their attack power by 6. When it charges up, its Attack goes up to 9!
Paper Mario Stats and Tattle Information
Hyper Goomba
- HP: 7
- Attack: 1
- Defense: 0
- Location: Gusty Gulch
- Tattle: This is a Hyper Goomba. Hyper Goombas are crazy, uncivilized Goombas living in Gusty Gulch. They sometimes charge their power before attacking. That charged attack will take away 8 HP, so watch out when they start to glow. It's a good idea to use Bow or an item to become transparent. The attack will miss for sure.
- Items: Hyper Goombas, Hyper Spiky Goombas, and Hyper Paragoombas all sometimes are found wielding Boo's Sheets.
