What type of food are the Goombas from the popular 80s Nintendo games?
Goomba Goombas , known in Japan as Kuribo (クリボー , Kuribō ) , are a species of sentient mushrooms from Nintendo's "Mario" franchise. They first appeared in the NES video game "Super Mario Bros." as the first enemy players encounter. They have appeared outside of video games, including in film, television, and other media. They are usually brown and are most commonly seen walking around aimlessly, often as an obstacle, in video games. They were included late in the development of "Super Mario Bros." in order to create a simple, easy-to-defeat enemy.
