TheChuboomba is an enemy found inMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story andMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. Chuboombas are large Goomba-like creatures with orange heads holding lollipops, and are encountered atCavi Cape andPlack Beach.
Chuboombas are fought byBowser in the overworld, and are the first (and weakest) normal enemy he encounters. In battle, it attacks by charging towards Bowser, which he must counter with apunch. If it wheezes before charging, it will hesitate before impact. Mario and Luigi can also go to Cavi Cape and/or Plack Beach to fight Chuboombas and their attacks can be countered byjumping. If Bowser uses theVacuum Block to inhale a Chuboomba's lollipop, he will recover 20HP, and the Chuboomba will burst into tears andflee. This will result in Bowser winning the battle, although no experience will be gained.
Chuboombas are usually fought by themselves or with other Chuboombas accompanying them in Cavi Cape. In Plack Beach, they only appear in battle withToothies; they never appear on the overworld. Also, after visitingBroque Monsieur's shop for the first time, Bowser can use the Vacuum Block to inhale aBlitty from a Chuboomba.
Chuboombas are always the target for the demo of Bowser'sBrawl Attack. Unless the player gets an "Excellent!" during the attack, the Chuboomba will not be defeated and instead run away.
InMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, their colors are the same as those of normal Goombas, and their lollipops are entirely pink rather than white with a pink swirl. Furthermore, they no longer chase Mario and Luigi in the overworld. They also appear as enemies in theBowser Jr.'s Journey mode, where they are melee troopers. TheirSpecial Skill is Smack Back Attack. Like other variants of Goombas, Chuboombas are weak against yellowShy Guys.

Notes[edit]
- The top screen of Bowser's Brawl Attack demos/tutorials always show a Chuboomba being defeated by the acquired Brawl Attack without the lollipop, which is normally impossible, since a Chuboomba without a lollipop usually flees from the battle. This was fixed in the remake, as it now shows the lollipop with the Chuboomba.
