Paragoomba

A Paragoomba is just a Goomba with wings. Its wings fall off if you jump on it, making it a regular Goomba. They make an appearance in all three Paper Mario games.

Paper Mario
In Paper Mario, Paragoombas serve King Bowser. They are one of the first enemies Mario encounters. They are found on Goomba Road and Pleasant Path. They are simple to defeat but require Mario to use Jump or Hammer Throw since they are in the air. If not killed in one attack, they will lose their wings and become regular Goombas

Tattle: This is a Paragoomba. Obviously, Paragoombas are Goombas with wings. You can't hit 'em with the Hammer while they're airborne. If you damage 'em, they'll fall to the ground and become regular Goombas.

Strategy: You can actually hit them with a hammer for the First Strike. Aside from that you'll have to jump to reach them. A well timed jump action command is all it takes to take out one of these. other ways to take them out include Hammer Throw, items, Star Powers, and Partner's Attacks.
