Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What game did Goomba first appear in?

Answer: "Super Mario Bros."

Goomba is the first enemy you will encounter in this game. It is said that Goombas used to be Toads, until Bowser transformed them.

2. This type of Goomba uses its wings to leap around the land. Which is it?

Answer: Paragoomba

Even though Paragoombas have wings, they are not much more threatening than regular Goombas. In "Super Mario Bros. 3", there is a version of Paragoomba that drops Mugger Micro-Goombas, which latch onto Mario .

3. In "Super Mario Bros. 3", one of the levels contains a certain Goomba who is wearing something that you can use upon its defeat. What is it?

Answer: Kuribo's Shoe

Kuribo's Shoe is only found in "Super Mario Bros. 3", but kind of resembles Luigi and the Sockop in "Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story". "Kuribo" is Japanese for "Goomba".

4. This type of Goomba does not appear in the "Super Mario" series, but is a regular fixture in the "Paper Mario" series. Do NOT jump on it! Which one is it?

Answer: Spiked Goomba

Spiked Goomba debuts in "Paper Mario". It is part of a gang of Goombas that ambush Mario, Goombella, and Professor Frankly in the sewers in "Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door".

5. Which name is not the name of any of Mario's Goomba partners in the "Paper Mario" series?

Answer: Goombob

Goombario is Mario's first partner in "Paper Mario". He is a big fan of Mario, shown by his name and his hat. He can tell Mario about their surrounding area outside of battle. Goombella is Mario's first partner in "Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door". She is a student at Goomba University and can also give Mario info about the land. However, Goombob is never Mario's partner in any game!

6. In which game does Mario fight a giant Goomba as a boss?

Answer: "New Super Mario Bros."

The boss of World 4 in "New Super Mario Bros." is a giant Goomba. While you do fight a giant Goomba in the first level of "Super Mario Galaxy", it is not a boss, just an enemy which you encounter.

7. In one game, Goombas are replaced by similar-looking foes called Galoombas. However, when you stomp on a Galoomba, it does not die. Which game do Galoombas appear in?

Answer: "Super Mario World"

In "Super Mario World", when you stomp on a Goomba it does not die instantly. You may pick up the Goomba and throw it once you have stomped on it, which is never seen in another main series game.

8. This boss appears in "Paper Mario" and has 2 allies, Red Goomba and Blue Goomba. Who is it?

Answer: Goomba King

The Goomba King is encountered on the way to Toad Town. While Goomboss from "Super Mario 64 DS" appears to have been inspired by him, they are not the same Goomba.

9. This boss first appears in "Super Mario 64 DS" and has since appeared in other games, including "Mario Kart DS". Who is it?

Answer: Goomboss

Goomboss is found by going through the 8-star door in the minigame room and jumping into the Mario painting. He is fought on a tree stump with toxic purple liquid in the center. Once defeated, he gives up the key to Mario's door in the castle.

10. What color is a normal Goomba?

Answer: Brown

Most Goombas are a shade of brown. Some forms, like the Gloomba in the "Paper Mario" games, are blue.
