If the player completes the game and plays it again in the [[Hard Mode]], all Little Goombas are replaced with [[Buzzy Beetle]]s. In ''[[VS. Super Mario Bros.]]'', in order to prevent players from potentially performing the infinite 1-Up trick, some levels featuring either Koopas or Buzzy Beetles descending from staircases have those enemies replaced with Goombas instead. | If the player completes the game and plays it again in the [[Hard Mode]], all Little Goombas are replaced with [[Buzzy Beetle]]s.

Little Goombas flip between two sprites, giving them the appearance of walking. They also seem to lack a mouth, possibly due to it being too difficult to render in sprite form as a result of the graphical limitations of the time | Little Goombas flip between two sprites, giving them the appearance of walking.

Goombas have a minor role in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Very rarely, a Goomba emerges from a [[Party Ball (item)|Party Ball]] or a [[Crate]], instead of an item. The Goomba then walks around the stage, damaging fighters until being defeated. Goombas are also featured prominently in the first level of Adventure Mode, the Mushroom Kingdom. As in the traditional [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' games]], Goombas in this game can be defeated by any stomp or simple attack. A Goomba [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] can also be collected in the game by completing Event Match #14: Trophy Tussle 1, the battle taking place on a giant Goomba trophy. | Goombas have a minor role in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

One part of technology the Goombas use is the parachute. The parachute allows a large number of Goombas to swarm enemy territory from the sky. Goombas using life preservers, and Goomdivers are equipped to adapt to water. Goombas have developed a number of tools to counter the jumping ability of the Mario Bros.: The [[Goomba's Shoe]] allows them to imitate [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], while the spiked hat seen in the ''[[Paper Mario]]'' series counters any jump attack (unless Mario is wearing a Spike Shield [[badge]]). Gritty Goombas have attached spears to their heads to counter stomp attacks as well. | One part of technology the Goombas use is the parachute.

*Goombas are the only enemies in the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' game to have two different "defeated" poses: one showing it being flattened after being stomped by Mario/Luigi, and the other simply being flipped upside-down. This has stuck in later games. | |||
*In both ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', the odd-numbered world with a water level ([[World 7 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7]] in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and [[World 3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 3]] in ''The Lost Levels'') has no Goombas. In ''VS. Super Mario Bros.''{{'}}s version of World 7-1, the Buzzy Beetle on the end staircase leading to the flagpole is replaced with a Goomba, although much like in that game's version of World 3-1 (which had the Koopas on the end staircase all replaced with Goombas), this is most likely to prevent the player from potentially performing the infinite 1-Up trick. | *In both ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', the odd-numbered world with a water level ([[World 7 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7]] in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and [[World 3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 3]] in ''The Lost Levels'') has no Goombas.

*''Super Mario 64 DS'', the ''Mario & Luigi'' series, and the ''Paper Mario'' series show Goombas resent their low social status as the first enemies to be stomped by Mario and Luigi. A figurine bio in ''Mario Party DS'' even states they dream of one day turning the tables on the red plumber. | |||
