Overview
Paragoombas are a flying variant of the
Goomba enemy from the
Super Mario Bros series. They first appeared in
Super Mario Bros 3 and have been a regular enemy since then.
Types And Tactics
From their inception, Paragoombas have struggled and experimented with flight. The red Paragoombas from Super Mario Bros 3 were only able to make short hops along the ground. The dangerous yellow Paragoombas were capable of sustained flight, and would drop Microgoombas from above. Paragoombas' different flight patterns continued through Super Mario World, although they abandoned their distinct appearance for a single brown-and-tan color scheme.
In any case, Paragoombas can be dealt with much like
Koopa Paratroopas. One
stomp will clip their wings, and another will finish them off, or they can be dispatched with a single
fireball.
Appearances Outside Video Games
Paragoombas have made appearances in the cartoon television series The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, and in the premiere episode of Super Mario World.
