If a [[Goomba]] hits a wall, steep slope, or another Goomba when chasing Mario, the chase will be extended. This can allow the goomba to reach positions that would normally be too far from its home. This is used in [[Jolly Roger Bay]] to press the [[Blue Coin Block]] without using the A button by bouncing off the extended Goomba <ref>[https://youtu.be/lonr-XBRwnY <nowiki>"JRB Goomba Chase Extension Strat" by Tyler Kehne</nowiki>]</ref>

Goombas normally cannot wak outside of a certain distance around their home, as they will then start turning back toward it. However, by having two goombas constantly collide with one another, it is possible for their target angle to keep updating without allowing them to turn fully, making them walk further and further away from their homes<ref>[https://youtu.be/rHQbNTgsDFM <nowiki>"Double Goomba Escort Demonstration" by UncommentatedPannen</nowiki>]</ref><ref>[https://youtu.be/MuMzCrdVMfg <nowiki>"BitS Goomba Escort to Pole Demonstration" by UncommentatedPannen</nowiki>]</ref>

Scuttlebugs can normally only move within a certain range around their homes. However, when a scuttlebug hits Mario, his home because the point of interaction.
