Goomba appreciation thread.

[Mcmadness]

As anyone who knows anything about me, Goombas are my favourite minion species whatever in the entire franchise, they serve a simple but important purpose to the series and have appeared in countless games.

I love these guys. No arms, no limbs, barely a body beyond their head but they are determined and in groups can be quite dangerous.


So I made this thread as a salute to these wonderful pint sized funguses.

Either driving with its teeth or using its baseball telekinesis.

this so much

the "no arms" argument is completely invalid

the driver wheel doesn't even animate in the first place. not even mario kart 8 the vehicle has animation for the driver wheel. lol

 

[Mcmadness]

It could totally work!

In fact they should be playable in other things as well, strikers, MP, Mario tennis, mario golf, etc etc.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

the "no arms" argument is completely invalid

Why is this argument still going on?

I mean...what?

People just want to hold back the underdogs.

Goombario for Mario Kart 9

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Not before Goomba.

 

[Smashley]

Not the biggest Goomba fan but I would have no objections to their playable appearance in Kart or any other spinoffs, they've certainly earned it.

 

[Mcmadness]

Not before Goomba.

I'll take a never and just have Goomba instead of that guy.

 

[Fawfulthegreat64]

I thought you liked the original Paper Mario. Well he'd represent both that AND the Goomba species.

 

[Mcmadness]

I like all of the rpgs, doesn't mean I want them in.

I'm not getting into this crap again, regular Goomba or bust.

 

[Boo Diddly]

Yeah Goombas need to be playable more than just Baseball.

 

[Ray Trace]

why aren't they selectable side-kicks in mario strikes is beyond me

 

[Magikrazy]

Fun fact: The Goombas in the first Mario game were originally all Koopa Troopas.

 

[Gumball Machine]

There were Koopa Troopas in Donkey Kong?

 

[Lin Beifong]

Goombas are great. They absolutely need to be in more things. Preferably before yet another variation of Mario or the people who are already regulars.

Goombario for Mario Kart 9

Goombario was such a snooze. Goombella trumps him any day of the week.

 

[Fawfulthegreat64]

I'd take Goombella too. Anything but a regular run-of-the-mill enemy. Goombas are cool as enemies, but not as characters unless they are set apart from the generic ones somehow. That's why I want their Mario Kart debut to be Goombario or Goombella.

 

[Megamario15]

No, Super Mario Bros.

 

[Mcmadness]

Goombas were added in because they needed a simple enemy than a koopa.

Well, the characters in Mario Kart aren't really "characters" to begin with. They're just playing the role of racer avatar.

I'm ok with regular Goomba being in a game like that. Mostly because Goombas go too unappreciated in general, so a stand-in for all of them being in the game would make for a good push in the other direction.

 

[Magikrazy]

It's not fair that Goombas only get the baseball games when Koopa Troopa has been kart racing and tennis playing since day 1.

Its because they have limbs.
