Basic Info BioThe original story behind Goombas is that they were mushroom people who had defected to Bowser's army. This story has eroded through time, though. In fact, some Goombas now live peacefully with the people of the Mushroom Kingdom. Goombas come in a variety of forms, but can always be identified by their small, mushroom shaped bodies.
In general, Goombas form the backbone of the Koopa Troop. They can inhabit virtually any type of terrain, and they often appear in force. Sometimes they come equipped with parachutes, or flying in bubbles.
The best thing about Goombas is how they squish. When Mario stomps a Goomba, it flattens right down to the ground, and makes a little squeaky noise! This lead to the popular Mushroom Kingdom phrase, "It's like stomping Goombas in a barrel!" The phrase has become politically incorrect in many circles, though, since some Goombas have defected from the Koopa Troop and started living in peace with the Mushroom Kingdom's people. It's just not polite to talk about stomping your next door neighbour.
