Goomba



"Goomba's are Bowser's primary minions. However, after you learned them a lesson, these rampaging creatures joined your side!"


 * Summary
 * The Goomba is the first troop to be unlocked in the Barracks.
 * However, the Goomba is not the first "used" troop: this is the Toad.
 * The Goomba is a Tier 1 troop.


 * Offensive Strategy
 * It is a good idea to place Goomba's before Toads as a Meat Shield, so they can steal resources without being bothered by Cannons or Catapults.
 * However, Red Koopa's are much better for this.
 * Goomba's can be placed after damage-soaking troops like Red Koopa's along with Koopa Troopa's and Toads. While they destroy defenses (most damage-soaking troops do that), the Goomba's and Koopa Troopa's make quick work of other buildings like Barracks, and the Toads steal resources.
 * Defensive Strategy
 * Goomba's are not recommended as Bunker troops, but they can defend you against massive Red Koopa-attacks.


 * Upgrade Differences
 * At level 3, Goomba's turn in Gold Goomba's and are thus colored gold.
 * At level 4, the Gold Goomba's return to their Goomba state but are surrounded by electricity.


 * Trivia
 * You can have a maximum of 240 Goomba's at one time in a full complement of fully upgraded Army Camps. This number increases to 270 if you include the 30 that can fit into a level 5 Bunker.
 * Goomba's inhabit the towns of the Single Player Campaign.
