A second-year {{wp|mixed-sex education|co-ed}} student studying archaeology at the [[List of implied organizations#University of Goom|University of Goom]]<ref name="manual">"Goombella: A cute University of Goom co-ed in her second year of an archaeology major." ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' instruction manual. Page 7.</ref>, she is the first companion to join [[Mario]] on his quest. She provides tattle information to [[Mario]] about his location or the character who stands in front of him all throughout the game. Goombella's name might be a portmanteau between "Goomba" and the female name "Bella", short for "Isabella". It may also be a reference to {{wp|Agaricus bisporus|portabella mushrooms}}. Also, "bella" is an existing adjective in Spanish and Italian, meaning "beautiful" and "good appealing", respectively. | ||

When Mario arrives at [[Rogueport]] at the beginning of the game, he sees a pink Goomba girl being attacked by [[Lord Crump]] and [[X-Naut|his minions]]. Mario helps her to defeat Lord Crump. She temporarily teaches Mario about the [[Action Command]]s. After defeating [[Lord Crump]], he brings out his army to punish them, but they make their getaway to the plaza.

After defeating [[Lord Crump]], he brings out his army to punish them, but they make their getaway to the plaza. Goombella, a second-year student at the University of Goom, thanks Mario, kisses him, learns about the [[Magical Map|map]] he has and that the [[Princess Peach|princess]] had disappeared, and joins his party. She possesses very similar abilities to [[Goombario]] from the original ''[[Paper Mario]],'' as they have almost identical moves in-battle and on the field. | ||

Her Tattle ability | Her [[Tattle]] ability gives the player mostly helpful information on places, people, enemies, etc. Like Goombario's summaries, Goombella inserts her own little opinions in her descriptions, some of which are humorous. For example, she shows signs of resentment upon reading the "underlings of underlings" comment her book says regarding Goombas, comments about being jealous of a Paragoomba's wings, and points out that it's nice to have access to a bathroom now and then (that's a field-only one, stated in the [[Glitz Pit]]'s major league locker room, where the bathroom is always occupied). Also in the final chapter near the last two rooms, she stops helping because she can't think of anything else to say. | ||
Goombella also has a tendency to break the [[fourth wall]]. For example, in [[Glitzville]], she mentions how far [[Cheep Cheep]]s have come since ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', and in [[Twilight Town]] she says that if there were not people like the gatekeeper in every town, games would be beaten too easily. At both times, she stops abruptly after she says the comment, seeming to point out that game characters know about the fourth wall, but are not supposed to talk about it. | Goombella also has a tendency to break the [[fourth wall]].
