'''Goom Goom''' is a [[Goomba]] found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. After taking on his [[Looking for a gal!|trouble]], [[Mario]] discovers Goom Goom in the [[Pirate's Grotto]]'s storeroom on [[Keelhaul Key]]. Goom Goom is looking for a female Goomba companion, one that is "petite, younger than [him], and pretty, not drop-dead hot" ("about [his] age, short like [him], and Goomba-shaped" in the English localization of the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Switch remake]]). To help him, Mario introduces his [[Party member|party member]] [[Goombella]]; however, Goombella rejects Goom Goom's interest, saying that she is already "dating" Mario in hopes of dissuading his interest, though this is simply a way to get out of any commitment to Goom Goom.  In the original game, Goombella is a slightly sympathetic, calling him "very cute" and expressing remorse for hurting his feelings, though in the remake she is far more direct and simply tells him that he is out of luck. Goom Goom will only like Goombella; if Mario shows him a different party member, even if the party member is female, he will not like them and turn each one of them down. After Goombella's rejection, Goom Goom angrily storms off, leaving behind a [[Couple's Cake]].

If [[Mario]] shows him a partner other than [[Goombella]], Goom Goom will make a complaint depending on the partner.

:"''That's Goom Goom, who asked us for help, remember? Looks like he's enjoying life here on Keelhaul Key, but he's a bit lonely. By the way, you don't suppose I'd qualify as a cute Goomba gal, do you?''" (GCN)
