'''Goombas''' are enemies in {{LA}}. They are directly based on the {{Smw|Goomba}} enemies from the ''{{Smw|Mario (series)|Mario}}'' series.
==Characteristics==
 
Goombas appear in side-scrolling areas, predominately in dungeons. They simply move back and forth, turning direction only when they hit an obstacle. Goombas can be defeated with any attack. [[Link]] can also drop onto them from a platform above or by using [[Roc's Feather]] to jump on them. When they are stomped on, they drop a [[Heart]].
==Characteristics and Weaknesses==
Goombas appear in side-scrolling areas, predominately in dungeons. Their behavior is largely identical to the Goomba enemies of the ''Mario'' series: they simply move back and forth, turning direction only when they hit an obstacle. They are weak enemies that can be defeated by any manner of attack; however, [[Link]] can also stomp on them from above and flatten them, identically to how these enemies are defeated by jumping on them in the ''Mario'' games. Link can defeat them in this manner by either dropping onto them from a platform above, or by using the [[Roc's Feather]] to jump and land on them. When they are stomped on, a [[Heart]] is guaranteed to drop.


While Goombas appear mostly in side-scrolling areas, they also appear in normal, top-down locations late into the [[Eagle's Tower]]. In these areas they move around randomly. Link can still stomp on them with the Roc's Feather.
Goombas can be found in [[Tail Cave]], [[Bottle Grotto]], in the underground passage leading to [[Kanalet Castle]], [[Catfish's Maw]], {{Term|LANS|Face Shrine|link}}, and {{Term|LANS|Turtle Rock|link}}.

*[[Spinut]]s from {{ST}} bare a slight resemblance to Goombas, particularly to those from ''{{Smw|Super Mario World}}'',  which are more chestnut-like in appearance.


==Etymology==
==Nomenclature==
The name Goomba is possibly derived from the Italian slang word "''goombah''", which has several definitions. It can mean friend or alternately a member of a gang. Their Japanese name, ''Kuribō'', is a portmanteau "kuri", meaning chestnut, and "", meaning guy.
