Variant of	Goombule

Elite Goombules are a stronger variation ofGoombule fought only once insideBowser's body inMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. They are encountered in theTrash Pit. They have the exact same moves as regular Goombules, and like their weaker counterpart, Elite Goombules have an egg yolk-shaped body with a yellow core in the center, but are blue instead of pink and wearBuzzy Shells as helmets that deflect jump attacks and counterattacks. To defeat one, the bros. have to use their newly learnedGreen Shell Special Attack obtained by collecting all tenAttack Pieces from theTrash Pit.

In thePrima Guide, this enemy, along with theShroobs andBowser X, are not listed in the Enemy Compendium.^[1]

InMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, their helmets are dark blue rather than black.
