Shoe Goomba

Shoe Goombas are incredibly rare enemies in Super Mario Bros 3. Three of them appear in the whole game and are all in the same level. If they spot you, they will take a huge leap toward you. A stomp or fireball can defeat them BUT - if they are standing on a brick and you hit the brick from below, the defeated Goomba will pop out of the shoe and you can take the shoe for yourself! It allows Mario to stomp on Piranha Plants, Spinies, and Bob-ombs and walk on Munchers! Don't waste one of your 3 ONLY CHANCES to grab this elusive item.
