Making their debut back in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', the Goombas were described as being 'little mushrooms who betrayed the Mushroom Kingdom'. Although not related to [[Koopa]]s, these mushrooms are commonly associated with Bowser's army. They are not all that strong, described  in one instance as being the 'underling of the underling'. Their ability to attack is mostly limited to bumping into their opponent or attempting to leap at them with a Headbonk attack, with the latter move only being used in some of the RPG games. They have long sharp teeth, but these seem to be rarely used for attack. This does not limit the versatility offered when they use wings, spikes, and other accessories, weapons or power-ups. However, unprotected Goombas are easily defeated by simply being stepped on and squished. There are still some Goombas (particularly the 'round' Galoombas from ''Super Mario World'') cannot be squished at all.

Goombas are often misunderstood as being mindless minions, when some have been shown to be exceptionally intelligent or powerful. The respect they receive from Bowser's army seems to be minimal, as they are sometimes treated as caged beasts and kept in barrels. There are actually a number of Goombas that are good-natured or 'reformed'. There is a small Goomba settlement west of [[Toad Town]] and a number of them live in [[Rogueport]], as well as [[Characters in Super Mario RPG#G|Goomhilde]] and her triplets in [[Monstro Town]]. Some benevolent Goomba characters include [[Professor Frankly]] (who taught [[Kolorado]]), [[Goompa]] (who taught The Master), and [[Gooma]] (who taught Tayce T.). There are also [[Goombario]] and [[Goombella]], who have acted as partners for Mario himself in his ''[[Paper Mario]]'' adventures. Another Goomba character was [[Lt. Goomba]], who was featured as the protagonist of the campaign "Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser" in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''.
