Astro Goombas, also called (Goombeetles, Robot Goombas, Metallic Goombas or Octobeetles) are a type of Goomba in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Profile[]

Physical description[]

They are depicted as wearing metallic astronaut helmets, to prevent them from getting stomped on, red or yellow eyes, and Goomba-like bodies and legs. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Astro Goombas have both larger and brighter eyes.

Behavior[]

Like regular Goombas, a Astro Goomba attacks by charging at Mario or Luigi. Astro Goomba cannot be defeated by directly jumping or even Ground Pounding them, as a Astro Goomba's protective helmet protects them from said attacks. A Astro Goomba can be defeated from a Star Spin, followed by either jumping or Ground Pounding it. Alternatively, a Bullet Bill can be lured over to hit them. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the Co-Star Luma can knock over an Astro Goomba.

Locations[]

In Super Mario Galaxy, Astro Goomba appear in Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor, the Battlerock Galaxy, Bowser's Dark Matter Plant, Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor, and the Dreadnought Galaxy.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Astro Goomba appear in Bowser Jr.'s Fiery Flotilla, Beat Block Galaxy and Chompworks Galaxy.

Trivia[]

  • Astro Goomba are very similar to Buzzy Beetles, as they have hard layers of protection on them. A similarity also relates to their names.
