| '''Goompa''' is [[Goombario]] and [[Goombaria]]'s grandfather in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. He is an elder [[Goomba]] and has extensive knowledge of the world, which comes from his adventures as a youth. In his prime, he used to travel the globe with his friends [[Koopa Koot]] and [[Bootler]]. According to [[Russ T.]] after [[Paper Mario#Chapter 7: A Star Spirit on Ice|Chapter 7]], Goompa used to be a famous fighter and sparred with [[The Master]] when they were young. Now an elderly grandfather with back aches, Goompa has taught his grandson everything he knows. According to the iQue release, Goompa is his grandchildren's paternal grandfather.

| Goompa lives in [[Goomba Village (location)|Goomba Village]] with the rest of his family. In the beginning of the story, Goompa is fixing the veranda of their home with his [[Hammer]]. When [[Mario]] attempts to leave the village, [[Kammy Koopa]] appears and, using her magic, creates a yellow block that prevents Mario from leaving. Mario decides to ask Goompa for his Hammer and walks to the veranda. Unfortunately, the veranda has fallen apart, causing Goompa and Mario to plummet to the ground below. In order to get back to the village, Goompa temporarily joins Mario, and in lieu of fighting, he teaches Mario how to use the game's battle system and gives Mario his Hammer after it is found. Goompa also gives Mario the [[Power Jump]] badge after getting back to his house, and goes on to tell Mario how to equip and use badges. | | '''Goompa''' is [[Goombario]]'s grandfather.

| One of the favors that Koopa Koot asks of Mario is that he retrieve a [[Tape (Paper Mario)|Tape]] that had been lent to Goompa a long time ago. When Mario retrieves the tape, he is curious of its contents, but Goompa refuses to tell him what is on the tape, commenting only that he enjoyed listening to it. During the party's quest to save Peach, Goompa writes [[List of letters in Paper Mario#Goompa|a letter]] to [[Goombario]], which the player can read at the [[Toad Town Post Office]]. Mario can also find a [[letter]] for Goompa by hitting the tree at [[Kolorado]]'s camp in [[Dry Dry Desert (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Desert]] after Mario visits [[Fice T.]] prior to Chapter 3. Should [[Parakarry]] deliver it to him, he rewards Mario with a [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Piece]].

| Goompa has a C-Down command like all partners. In the beginning of the game when Goompa acts as Mario's partner, pressing C-Down makes Goompa move behind Mario if he is not already. His name appears in the coding of the game in Mario's list of partners along with Goombaria and Twink. He, like all of the removed partners, has an identical icon to [[Kooper]]'s. Despite this, there is a [[List of Paper Mario glitches|glitch]] in the game that lets Mario take Goompa outside of Goomba Village. However, he has no attacks and crashes the game if the partner menu is opened when he is the active partner.<ref>Stryder7x (August 13, 2015). [https://youtu.be/SN1n7X5NMcM Goompa Joined Your Party! (Partner Glitch in Paper Mario 64)]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved February 18, 2022.</ref> | | ==Physical Appearance== |
| | | Goompa is for the most part an average Goomba. The only things different are the bushy white eyebrows and his green hat. Also, he usually has a smile on his face. |

| | *Goompa's name is a portmanteau of "grandpa" and "Goomba", a namesake which he strangely refers to directly. As a matter of fact, "Goompa" may be a general term for Goomba grandfathers, as Goombario occasionally refers to Goompa as "my [his] Goompa". |
| | *It is implied that he was the Goomba martial artist who trained [[The Master]]. |
| | *Goompa constantly has his back turned while fixing the veranda, and making him turn around (by talking to him) reveals that he does not even have a Hammer while doing so. [[Nintendo]] most likely left these details out to avoid having him hold a Hammer, as he (like all Goombas) lacks arms. Later games would be less shy about having Goombas hold objects; ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', for instance, depicts the one playable Goomba's baseball bat as simply "floating" in the air, which may explain how he fixed the veranda. |
| | *Interestingly, Goompa does have a C-Down command like all partners. In the beginning of the game when Goompa acts as Mario's partner, pressing C-Down will make Goompa move behind Mario if he isn't already. |
| | *As he is fit enough to fix a veranda alone, Goompa is apparently quite robust for his old age. |
| | *Goompa suffers from lower back pain. |
| | *His name appears in the coding of the game in Mario's list of partners along with Goombaria and Twink, suggesting he was originally going to assist Mario on his quest. His, like all the removed partners, icon is the same as [[Kooper|Kooper's]]. |
