Should Nintendo get rid of Goombas?

[Polymorph]

I definitely think so. They're more like "training enemies" than anything. Speak your opinion here.

 

[Duskull]

Way too iconic now in my opinion, besides every game needs its easy enemy.

 

[3D Player 2004]

Goombas are a neccessity to the series.

 

[SonicMario]

???

Who in all of Nintendo's offices would even think of getting rid of the Goombas?
What would be achieved by no longer using the Goombas?
When would they start getting rid of them?
Where would anyone get the idea that they would get rid of the Goombas?

and most importantly

Why? Just why would you even ask this in the first place?

 

[Weasel]

That would be like removing the Kremlings from Donkey Ko -OH WAIT

Re: Should Nintendo change Goombas?

Because I want to know other peoples opinions.

Also changed title.

 

[Aiko Heiwa]

no

that'd be like getting rid of like...

the slimes from dragon quest

 

[Duskull]

In response to change, no. Sub-species serve the purpose already.

 

[Dardy]

They cannot be taken rid of. They are the heart of the series, when I remember Mario, I remember him jumping on a goomba.

 

[Lin Beifong]

Absolutely not!

It would be funny to see a Goomba capable of wiping the floor with Mario though.

 

[YuruNex]

No. Every game need to have an easy enemy so that new players can jump right in. And they can be difficult sometimes. Para-Goombas, SM3DW Octogoombas, Spiked Goomba, the list goes on.

They're more like "training enemies" than anything.

that's precisely why hhey should be kept in.

also, not every enemy needs to be tricky or tiring to defeat. sometimes you need something simple like a goomba to take a breather once in a while.
