Large-sized Para-Goombas are shown once inThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Princess Toadstool for President".King Koopa andCheatsy bring a cage full of Giant Land Para Goombas to theMushroom Kingdom, whom they unleash on a field of crops. However,Mario andLuigi show up and defeat the Giant Land Para-Goombas, stomping them as if they were standard Para-Goombas. They are named afterGiant Land, and due to this and being imported, can be inferred to have come from there.

Big Paragoombas appear in the RPG/puzzle hybridPuzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition as stronger variants of Paragoomba. They are ofWood andLight types. A Big Paragoomba's maximum level is 99, and its HP and RCV ratings are higher than those of a normal Paragoomba, although it has the same Attack stat.
