This Goomba originated in the very first previews of New SMB or as it was called back then, Super Mario Bros. DS in which it was a normal level enemy goomba until it was caught in contact with a [[Super Mushroom]] which made him the same size as he was in the current game. This new and innovative feature was taken out for unknown reasons. Possibly due to the game being extremely hard if certain enemies turned mega.
==Trivia==
*In the [[list of New Super Mario Bros. pre-release and unused content|very first footage]] of ''New Super Mario Bros.'', the Mega Goomba was a normal Goomba until it came into contact with a mushroom. A similar concept was later used for the [[Mega Koopa]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.

The Mega Goomba[1][2] is the boss of World 4 in New Super Mario Bros. Mega Goomba is fought in World 4-Castle. 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 platforms to appear. When Mario stands on a platform, it will elevate in the air. From there, Mario has to ground-pound onto the Mega Goomba to attack it. Alternatively, Mega Mario, Shell Mario's Shell Dash technique, or Fire Mario's fireballs 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 form. When Mega Goomba is defeated, the key to World 5 is released.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Mega Goomba is mentioned in the Giant Goomba's trophy description.
