Goomba Intelligence Upgrade

[UltraChair]

So, Goombas have recently been added to Dr. Mario World, as a playable character, meaning they have a doctorate, they also should have decent sports knowledge due to being in some of the spin-offs, this should make their intelligence at Above Average, like similiar characters i the games. I also think below average intelligence for walking off cliffs is a little bit of a lowball, since that's just how their AI works and there are variants of Goombas that avoid cliffs and ledges and most Goombas have been shown to follow basic orders, also one individual of the Goombas was capable of commanding armies.

or at the very least they should have a varies like koopas

It seems clear to me that the doctorate thing is less special in the Mario verse and that the practice they make isn't comparable to that of real doctors, they just doing what we see them do.

If so then the profiles need to clarify as much.

Aren't goombas shown to be comparable to humans in everything other than the mainline games? Like Goombella for example? Goombas being not intelligent seems to be only because they don't talk or do anything in mainline, but the same goes for koopas even though koopa the quick exists, or bobombs yet we know due to 64 and party they have human intelligence. Goombas should be average with the potential to hit genius, like humans. Only reason that they seem less is because of a lack of proper interaction with em on the main games.

Are the other reasons valid though?

I agree with all of this.

@Eficiente

So what should we do here?

 

[DatOneWeeb]

Actually Efiiente is incorrect. The plot of Dr. Mario World is that there has been a virus outbreak. Thus the doctors use special spills to cure patients, and get rid of the viruses. If we compare the other doctors to Mario, he's been able to create his own pills that cure the viruses and can "cure anything ". Obviously not everything, but the megavitamins are able to cure the flu or instantly, are highly valuable as Wario and a scientist tried stealing them, said scientist needed the megavitamins to cure a cold. Meaning that this was no average cold, and Dr. Mario's megavitamins cured him immediately. So these pills are clearly something that someone smart would make.
