In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', Goombas (named '''Little Goombas''' in the instruction booklet) are one of the most common enemies. Goombas merely walk in a single direction, but if they walk into an object, such as a [[Warp Pipe]], the Goomba starts walking the other direction. Besides a jump attack, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] (depending on whom the player controls) can also defeat a Goomba by either kicking a Koopa Shell at it, touching it while under the invincibility effects of [[Starman]], or jumping under a Brick Block or ? Block right at the exact position the Goomba is located. Every time Mario or Luigi defeat a Goomba, the player earns 100 points. In Hard Mode, all Goombas are replaced with Buzzy Beetles.

Because the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and its Japanese equivalent, the [[Family Computer]], have limited hardware capabilities, the color of a Goomba's sprite varies depending on where it is found, with Goombas in outdoor levels having their usual brown color, Goombas underground being dark blue in color, and Goombas in castles being light gray. Both the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' remakes retain this, even though the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Game Boy Color]] systems that they were respectively released for do not have these same palette limitations. All Goomba types alternate between two only two sprites.

All Goombas, regardless of color, alternate between only two sprites, one of which is a flipped form of the other. Both of a Goomba's sprites each show one foot larger than the other, so the effect of a Goomba walking is created from the sprites flipping back and forth.

In World 1-4, defeating the Fake Bowser using Fire Mario's fireballs reveals it to have been a Goomba in disguise. Because this takes place a castle level, the Goomba is depicted with a light gray body.
