AGoomba Wheel is a variant ofGoombas that debuted inPaper Mario: Sticker Star, interrupting Mario in World 1-2,Bouquet Gardens. It is a group offive Goombas stacked on top of each other, forming a vertical line, then formed into a wheel. It rotates and circlesMario, while wheel and motor sound effects can be heard throughout. In battle, however, the Goomba Wheel is fought as single Goombas.Battle Spin is introduced byKersti in this fight. The music that plays during the chase is called "Unstoppable Fury", a more aggressive arrangement of "Don't Call Me Flunky".
InMario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Mario andLuigi first encounter a Goomba Wheel inSunbeam Plains (just beforePaper Mario joins the party), formed together by ninePaper Goombas. The Goombas will then roll and chase after the bros; during this sequence, the player must press
and
repeatedly to make the bros run away from it, but they are not able to escape since, even if the player outruns the wheel initially, it will circle back around and plough through the Bros and defeat them. Right at that moment, Paper Mario comes down from the sky, defeats the Goomba stack and is introduced. After Paper Mario joins the party, stacks of Paper Goombas occasionally turn into Goomba Wheels to attack Paper Mario, which can be avoided using his high jump.
Goomba Wheels return in a forest area ofPaper Mario: Color Splash calledSacred Forest, but they are referred to asSmall Goomba Wheels, since they and the entire forest are tiny due toKamek's magic. Five Goomba Wheels surprise Mario when he is about to get the secondMini Paint Star piece and try to guard it. This time around, they are fought as wheels, unlike inPaper Mario: Sticker Star. The wheels make revving sounds similar to those of a racecar.
