A Gritty Goomba is, in essence, a Goomba swathed in cloth with a spike and colored flag protruding from its head and sunglasses over its eyes. A Gritty Goomba is capable of summoning sand storms at will; however, this is the only thing it can do. It will use the cover of sand as a cloak, trying to run into the Mario Bros., who must counter with their Hammers
In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Mario and Luigi had to protect Princess Peach from these Goombas (along with Spiky Snifits) as she crossed Teehee Valley to get to Little Fungitown. If they failed, the Princess would be taken down a Warp Pipe to one of their underground bases, which the Mario Bros. could infiltrate to save Peach.
Trivia
- In the The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, some Mummy Goombas made some appearances. These Mummy Goombas bore minor resemblance to Gritty Goombas.
- The Gritty Goomba's flag is red in Teehee Valley and green in Gwarhar Lagoon. However, this has no effect on their stats.
