Mario Enemydex

Hello, and welcome to my new project, called the Mario Enemydex. This will give information on Mario enemies in a story-style format. Enjoy!

Entry 1:

Goomba

Goombas are small, brown mushroom like creatures that walk around all day, innocently searching for food that they can take to their families. They don't do anything wrong – they just want to survive their rough habitat.

Or at least, they try to. Idiotic humans often carelessly jump on these poor animals, often forgetting that they have a fantastic life to live. Imagine two Goomba cubs waiting patiently for the mother who will never return, for the food that will never arrive. It's sad, but it's life.

Over the last few Goomba generations, they have decided to fight back. Or at least, half of them did – roughly 50% of the population forgave the humans and decided to live with them, whereas the other half joined a treacherous army only known as the Koopa Troop, designed to fight those stupid humans.

They haven't really got much of an attack, though. Due to their limited movements, the most they can do is walk back and forth hoping that they'll be able to accidentally ram into a human. Though in the meantime, they might accidentally fall down a pit or experience some other horrific death.

It's also a shame that their bodies are so weak, humans can just squash them with one stomp. So really, they're not much of a threat. However, some of the treacherous Goombas evolved more than the others, and thus got slightly more intelligent. The more evolved Goombas could now actually run into humans deliberately. Though unfortunately, they were still as weak as ever.

A few years ago, the mean Goombas and the kind Goombas had a civil war, named the Goomba Civil War. The kind Goombas wanted to live in peace and harmony, whereas the mean Goombas wanted to fight and be the rulers of the Mushroom Kingdom. A certain green dinosaur, who is also forever hated by the Koopa Troop, helped the kind Goombas by assassinating the king of the bad Goombas, Goomboss, in the Goomba Castle Garden. He fought Goomboss so that he could rescue his best friend, who was a trusted human in the Mushroom Kingdom. This resulted in the mean Goombas surrender, as they now had no leader, and allowed the kind Goombas to live in peace once again.
