Game Appearances
Super Mario Bros. 3D
The Zomboombas made their first appearance in Super Mario Bros. 3D. They first appeared as rare enemies in World 3-2 where they would simply act how normal Goombas act (walking aimlessly), they then appeared again in world 4-5 where they would charge towards the player and attempt to bite them. Zomboombas were then summoned by Kamek during the boss battle with him at the end of World 4 where he would turn normal Goombas into them with his wand. They later were seen during World 8-1, 8-2, 8-5 and 8-7 where they were extremely common and would usually be encountered in groups.

Zomboombas, along with other Zombified minions of Bowser, appear as enemies on Yoshi's Island, as servants of Yoob.
Trivia
- It is thought that Zomboombas are minions of King Boo aswell as Bowser.
- Zomboombas are only ever encountered in ghost houses.
- In Mario Kart: Blazing Wheels the Zomboombas had to be drastically redesigned so that the game could be a U, although some thought it was uneeded as Super Mario Bros. 3D was a 7+, and not many people that young could race that well.
