Goombas, along with Koopa Troopas, Piranha Plants, Lakitus, Bullet Bills, Bob-ombs, Shy Guys, and Boos have become some of the most well-known and iconic enemies in the entire Mario series, appearing in almost every title. Some Goombas, such as the inhabitants of Goomba Village, live peacefully inside the borders of the Mushroom Kingdom, while others simply hold no allegiance and operate independently in distant locales such as Rogueport and Monstro Town. However, not all Goombas are allied with Bowser or the Koopa Troop. Goombas have two feet and no visible arms. In many games, Goombas are the first enemy the player meets.


However, many of the Goombas have turned traitorous and joined the Koopa Troop, an organization led by Bowser. The Goombas, as a collective race, used to be allied with the Mushroom Kingdom. Goombas are physically weak and are not much of a threat to Mario or Luigi, since a single stomp usually defeats them, although a number of different Goomba variants have emerged throughout the years. Goombas resemble small, brown mushrooms and are a fungus-based species like Toads, Amanitas, Spooks, and Shroobs. Since their first game appearance in Super Mario Bros., they have become one of the most iconic members of the Koopa Troop. Goombas are one of the major species of the Mario series.
