| '''Goombario''' is a [[Goomba]] who lives in [[Goomba Village (location)|Goomba Village]] and greatly admires [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. As such, his name is a portmanteau of "Goomba" and "Mario". Goombario is the first [[party member]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', and his specialty is providing Mario with information about the various locations and enemies in the game. Thus, he is the only Party Member with two attacks which do not require [[Flower Point|FP]]. In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', this task is carried on by [[Goombella]] (in the French version of ''Paper Mario'', he even talks in a similar fashion to her), in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' by [[Tippi]] and [[Tiptron]], in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' by [[Kersti]], in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' by [[Huey]], and in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'' by [[Olivia]]. Goombario's appearance is somewhat atypical compared to a standard Goomba in that he has two flat teeth instead of the standard fangs; the only other Goombas to have this trait are Goombario's family and [[Professor Frankly]]. He also wears a blue cap and has blushed pink cheeks to distinguish himself from other Goombas. In certain area tattles, Goombario states that he hates eating fish and is afraid of heights.

| |
| When Mario falls into Goomba Village at the start of ''Paper Mario'', Goombario's sister, [[Goombaria]], finds him and then lets him rest in the village's [[Toad House]]. Later, when Mario falls off the balcony in [[Goompa]]'s house, Goompa and Mario find the former's [[Hammer]] and smash through a [[Yellow Block]] to get back to Goomba Village. When they return, Goompa suggests that Goombario join Mario on his adventure, and he accepts. In the field, Goombario can use his tattle to find out where Mario is and tell him about the people that they meet. According to Goompapa, he is named after Mario.

|
| |
|
| If Mario holds [[Goombaria]]'s [[Dolly]] when returning to [[Goomba Village (location)|Goomba Village]], Goombario will suggest that Mario return it to [[Goombaria]]; and if Mario says no, he would suggest that Mario return it when he is "done with it" (while Goombaria would call Mario a "meanie" if refused). At the end of the game, he is invited to the party by [[Princess Peach]].
| | '''Goombario''' is the first of [[Mario]]'s party members in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. His name later appears in the ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' scorechart. Also, in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' he appears as a [[Catch Card]] found on the twentieth floor of the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]]. |

| Goombario receives [[List of letters in Paper Mario#Goombario|three letters]] at the [[Toad Town Post Office]]: one from the [[Red & Blue Goomba Bros.]] and two from his grandparents. | | ==History== |

| | When Mario falls into [[Goomba Village]] at the start of ''Paper Mario'', Goombario and his family ([[Goombaria]], [[Goompa]], [[Gooma]], [[Goomama]] and [[Goompapa]]) find him and let him rest in the [[Toad House]]. When Mario falls off the balcony in Goompa's house, Goompa and Mario find a [[Hammer]] and smash through a yellow block to get back to Goomba Village. [[Kammy Koopa]] attacks the village and Mario tells them about his quest. Goompa suggests that Goombario join Mario on his adventure, and he accepts. By pressing C-Down, Goombario can use his tattle to find out where Mario is and tell him about the people they meet. Goombario is named after Mario according to Goompapa. |

|
| Goombario is very analytic and playful, as he hints at desires to play with young [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, young [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s, and [[Merlow]]. He will occasionally break the fourth wall and his tattles seem to indicate a friendly rivalry with [[Kooper]]. He also stated he does not like eating fish, would like an [[Albino Dino]] as a pet, and that he is afraid of heights. He is also infatuated with various female characters in the game (namely [[Misstar]], [[Vanna T.]], [[Merlee]], [[Merluvlee]], and [[Pop Diva]]).

| | *Many times in the game, namely [[Cloudy Climb]], [[Bowser's Castle]], and [[Raphael the Raven]]'s Tree, Goombario mentions his fear of heights. |
| | *[[Goompapa]] says that Goombario is named after [[Mario]]. And just as "Goombario" is a combination of "Goomba" and "Mario", his japanese name, "Kurio", is also a portmanteau of "Kuribo" (Goomba in Japanese) and "Mario". |
| | *Judging by Goombario's tattles of them, he is apparently infatuated with [[Misstar]], [[Vanna T.]], [[Merlee (Paper Mario, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)|Merlee]] and [[Merluvee (Paper Mario, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)|Merluvee]]. |
| | *Goombario has envy of [[Kooper]], probably because he "stole" Mario's attention, after all, he is the first team member after Goombario. The player can notice that by using [[Tattle]] ability on [[Lee]] at the Toad Town [[Dojo]], or on an ordinary [[Duplighost]]. |
