-In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', Goombas are the most common enemy. In the game, they appear in almost every level (except underwater levels and most castles). They can be defeated by jumping on them. They can also be defeated by throwing fireballs, [[Koopa Shell]]s, or by hitting blocks from below if they are on top of them.

+Goombas are the most common enemy in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and appear in most athletic and underground levels. They are not as common in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' but generally appear in groups of either three or four. Goombas can be defeated by either [[jump]]ing on them, shooting a [[fireball]] at one, a [[Koopa Shell]], hitting below a block it is on top or, or from the [[Invincible Mario|invincibility]] effects of the [[Super Star|Starman]]. Little Goombas flip between two sprites, giving them the appearance of walking. Goombas are the only enemies with two sprites from being defeated, one showing it flattened from a stomp and the other flipping it upside-down.
-Goombas in underground and castle areas look blue and grey respectively, indicating changes in lighting rather than a different breed of Goomba. Later games do introduce different types of Goombas, including blue, subterranean [[Gloomba]]s, which played the role of the Goombas in a ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' level meant to represent ''Super Mario Bros.''{{'}}s World 1-2.
+Due to the limited color palette of the [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]], Goombas in underground levels are colored teal, and in castle levels, they are colored gray; in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version, the Goombas in castle levels are grayish brown. Goombas share a palette with [[Blooper]]s, put into effect in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' in that the Goombas in the underwater stages are gray with black eyebrows.
-If Mario or Luigi defeats the [[False Bowser]] of [[World 1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1]]'s castle with fireballs, it turns into its true form, a Goomba, before falling into the [[Lava]].
+All Goombas are replaced with [[Buzzy Beetle]]s in the [[Hard Mode]] of ''Super Mario Bros.'' Similarly, the Goombas in [[World A]] through [[World D]] in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' are replaced with Buzzy Beetles. In ''[[All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros.]]'', all Goombas are replaced with [[OkaP]], but otherwise still act the same.
-In the [[Second Quest]], [[Buzzy Beetle]]s replace all the Goombas.
+A Goomba is revealed to be the [[Impostor Bowser|fake Bowser]] of [[World 1-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-4]] in ''Super Mario Bros.'' if one throws several fireballs at him.
-====''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''====
+Goombas were added in place of [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Buzzy Beetle]]s on the staircases of [[World 3-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-1]], [[World 4-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-2]], and [[World 7-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-1]] in ''[[VS. Super Mario Bros.]]'', consequently making the player unable to perform the 1-up trick.
-Goombas reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. Although [[Buzzy Beetle]]s are more prominent in the game, large numbers of Goombas are deployed in strategic enclosed locations with little jumping room. Also, in [[World 9 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9]], there is a different kind of Goomba which appears to be a grey-yellow in color, as the underwater palette has changed its colors.
+The original homeland of Goombas is stated to be in the Mushroom Kingdom, which they share with the [[Toad (species)|mushroom retainer]]s, which they later betrayed to join the [[Bowser's Minions|Turtle Empire]].<ref name=smb/>
