Micro-Goomba

A Microgoomba is a very small species of Goomba that are found in the NES video game Super Mario Bros. 3. Though they aren't powerful enough to harm Mario or Luigi, a whole bunch of them will latch onto him, making him go slower, thus giving enemies a better chance of harming them. The name Microgoomba is a portmanteau of the words Goomba (a fictional species in the series) and micro. Microgoombas later appeared in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
