'Goombarioa is a Goomba who lives in Goomba Village. Goombaria is the first party member in Paper Mario, and hef specialty is providing Mario with information about the various locations and enemies in the game. Thus, she is the only Party Member with two attacks which do not require FP. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, this task is carried on by Goombella (in the French version of Paper Mario, she 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. Goombaria's appearance is somewhat atypical compared to a standard Goomba in that she has two flat teeth instead of the standard fangs; the only other Goomba to have this trait is Professor Frankly. She also wears a blue cap and has blushed pink cheeks to distinguish herself from other Goombas.

In a similar manner to how Goombario's name is a portmanteau of Goomba and Maria, Goombaria's name would appear to be a combination of Goomba and the name Maria. It may also, however, simply be a more feminine-sounding variation of Goombario's name.

To Mario,

Are you and Goombario doing OK? I'm fine. Oh! This is Goombaria, by the way.
Are you having an exciting adventure? Is Goombario being a hero? Or is he just goofing off?
You know... I sometimes go shopping in Toad Town with Mom. Maybe we'll see you there. I'd really like to hear some of your exciting stories. I can't wait! Really!
You can beat up Bowser--I know it!♡

Trivia

  • Goombaria appears in the game's code as an unused partner. If hacked into gameplay, she has no special abilities, and trying to enter a battle with her as the active partner will crash the game. Her partner icon, like Goompa's and Twink's, is the same as Kooper's.
  • Between Chapters 5 and 7, Goombaria goes to Toad Town with her mother to shop. At this time, she does not acknowledge if Mario still has her missing Dolly in his inventory. Mario can only give the Dolly back to her when she is in Goomba Village.
  • In the English version of Paper Mario, when Chuck Quizmo asks Goombaria's name in his quiz, one of the incorrect answers is "Goombette", a name later used for a female Goomba character in Super Mario Odyssey. Its Japanese equivalent is クリスチーヌ, which is Goombella's Japanese name.
