'''Goombario''' is a [[Goomba]] who lives in [[Goomba Village (place)|Goomba Village]] and greatly admires [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], and is the first of his party members in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. 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 don't 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]] and in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' by [[Huey]].

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 then Mario faces [[Jr. Troopa]], after which they let him rest in the [[Toad House]]. Later, 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. In the field, Goombario can use his tattle to find out where Mario is and tell him about the people they meet. According to Goompapa, he is named after Mario.

If Mario holds [[Goombaria]]'s [[Dolly]] when returning to [[Goomba Village (place)|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 receives [[List of letters in Paper Mario#Goombario|three letters]] at the [[Post Office|post office]] in [[Toad Town]]: one from [[Red and Blue Goomba]] and two from his grandparents.

Goombario is very analytic and playful, as he hints at desires to play with young [[Toad]]s, young [[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 doesn't like eating fish, would like an [[Albino Dino]] as a pet, and that he is afraid of heights. He is also infatuated with various females in the game (namely [[Misstar]], [[Vanna T.]], [[Merlee]], [[Merluvlee]], and [[Chanterelle]]).
