Who cares if he's strong? You're much stronger. Gee, I wonder what he ate to become so big? I'd like to be a bit bigger, too.

His sprite from Paper Mario.

The Goomba King is (as his name applies) the ruler of Goomba's who serves as the main boss of the prologue chapter of Paper Mario, and is overall the very first boss of the game. His assistants are Red Goomba and Blue Goomba, who come to him after being defeated by Mario

Summary

Not much was known about the Goomba King until after his defeat, he used to be an ordinary Goomba, but he begged Bowser to make him bigger and a king of the Goombas using the power from the Star Rod, though, it has not made him any smarter than an average Goomba. After being defeated at his fortress, (Goomba Fortress), a drawbridge switch appears. As Mario, who already pressed it, the Goomba King tries to warn him not to hit the switch as it could be dangerous. Already being too late, the fortress explodes, thus creating a bridge to Toad Town and sends the king far off into the sky. The king returned in the ending parade where he is seen hanging on top of a tree and crashing down onto Red Goomba and Blue Goomba.

Attacks

The Goomba King only has two attacks, the first is he will spin around two times and will kick at Mario for 1-point of damage, the second and most uncomming attack is he will stomp at the ground and two Goomnuts will fall on Mario and do 2-points of damage.

Tips/Tricks

Being the very first boss of Paper Mario, the Goomba King is very easy, he will be escorted by the Red and Blue Goombas, it looks rather overwhelming, but by hitting the X-shaped bandage on the Goomnut tree behind Mario, the Player can attack all three of the Goombas at the same time, while causing a lot of damage and can take out the Red and Blue Goombas is one hit, after that its just a series of attacking the Goomba King until he is defeated.

Trivia

• The Goomba King is known for being a very importing boss by fans, not only is the Goomba King the first boss of Paper Mario, but also the very first boss in the entire Paper Mario series.
• When battling the Goomba King in Paper Mario, by hitting the X-shaped bandage on the Goomnut tree behind Mario, you can attack all three of the Goombas at the same time, while causing a lot of damage.

• The Goomba King is one of the few Paper Mario characters to reappear in several other Mario games (with one being the Red Chomp, and the other Koopatrols). albeit with a slight change of design. His eyebrows first appeared black, but in later games, his eyebrows appeared white to match his moustache. He also swapped his shoe color for light brown, like every other Goomba wears.
