'''Goombella''' is a very smart and sassy, but friendly, female [[Goomba]] from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. 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. She wears a helmet with a light and a matching shirt with a red scarf, and also has a large, blond ponytail. Unlike most Goomba, she is light pink in color. 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 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. Goombella, a second-year<ref name="manual"/> 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.

She possesses similar abilities to [[Goombario]] from the original ''[[Paper Mario]]'', sharing the moves [[Headbonk]], [[Tattle]], and [[Multibonk]] with him. Unlike Goombario, however, an Action Command must be successfully performed for Goombella to Tattle an enemy in battle. Also unlike Goombario, she unlocks Multibonk at Super Rank rather than Ultra Rank and learns the move [[Rally Wink]] instead of [[Charge (move)|Charge]].


[[File:PMTTYD Goombella Reading Artwork.png|thumb|left|Goombella reading the Tattle Log]]
[[File:PMTTYD Goombella Reading Artwork.png|thumb|left|Goombella reading the Tattle Log]]
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.
Her Tattle ability, which can be used in both battle and on the field, gives the player mostly helpful information on places, people, and enemies.

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 (a field-only one, stated in the [[Glitz Pit]]'s major league locker room, where the bathroom is always occupied). Goombella's Tattles often include hints to help out Mario (e.g. telling Mario to check the grass in [[Petal Meadows]]). In the final chapter, near the last two rooms, she stops helping because she is unable to think of anything else to say. Goombella usually provides [[List of Partner Hints in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Partner Hints]] in the Nintendo Switch remake, unless another partner is needed for the current situation.


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.

At the end of the game, Goombella writes an email to Mario, explaining what happened with herself and her friends. She starts to tell Mario something else, but then changes her mind and keeps her secret. Goombella becomes [[Professor Frankly]]'s assistant at the end.

=====Battle abilities=====
[[File:PMTTYDNS Headbonk.jpg|thumb|Goombella using Headbonk in the Nintendo Switch remake]]
In battle, Goombella can attack enemies with her Headbonk ability, functioning similar to Mario's Jump attack, hitting any enemy up to two times. She cannot attack spiky or fiery enemies, and will instead take one damage if she does so.
Goombella can look up enemies with her Tattle ability, revealing their stats and abilities, as well as permanently displaying their HP during all battles with them. If the move is failed however, nothing will happen. Tattling on an enemy will also list them in  Goombella's [[Tattle Log]], where they can be viewed at any time while exploring. In the Nintendo Switch remake, Tattle checks can be performed on enemies that have already been tattled on, which involve Goombella repeating their Tattle information without using up a turn.
Once Goombella reaches Super Rank, she will gain the Multibonk ability, which allows her to continuously Headbonk a single enemy until an Action Command is missed or after enough attacks. Once Ultra Rank is obtained, Goombella learns Rally Wink, which allows Mario to gain a second turn if successful.

Though she does not appear in the game, Goombella is mentioned in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' when Mario searches the junk yard in [[Shy Guy Jungle]] before clearing it with a vacuum or goat thing. He can find a paper written by her. She has been researching the [[Chomp Ruins]] during the events of the game, but isn't seen in the ruins nor anywhere else in the game, presuming she had finished the research or left the paper behind. The paper says:

===''Super Mario-kun''===
Goombella, alongside [[Koops]], is one of Mario's two partners in the ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' arc of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. Like in the game, she joins Mario after he helps her escape Lord Crump and his X-Nauts.
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
There are a few items of Goombella in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', there is both a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] and a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of Goombella. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', there is another trophy of Goombella.
===''Super Mario Run''===
Goombella appears as statue, together with [[Mario]] and [[Koops]], in ''[[Super Mario Run]]''. Her statue was given as a reward after completing six event missions from May 23, 2024 to June 27, 2024.<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/mobilenews-super-mario-run-folds-in-limited-time-missions-celebrating-paper-mario-the-thousand-year-door|title=Super Mario Run folds in limited-time missions celebrating Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|date=May 24, 2024|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|accessdate=July 5, 2024|archive=web.archive.org/web/20240524192546/https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/mobilenews-super-mario-run-folds-in-limited-time-missions-celebrating-paper-mario-the-thousand-year-door}}</ref> Her statue then becomes available to be placed in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] through [[Super Mario Run#Kingdom Builder|Kingdom Builder]].
==General information==
===Physical appearance===
Goombella is a female Goomba who wears a helmet with a light and a matching torso with a red tie, and also has a large, blond ponytail. She has a pink head and brown shoes.
===Personality===
Goombella is shown to be loyal to Mario as well as having street smarts regarding Rogueport, as well as peppy. She also at times can be very sarcastic, as when encountering three Goombas in the sewers who gave her unwanted attention, in the GameCube version, she mentions that it is "so sweet" that they thought of her to the extent of "totally barfing" in an attempt at refusing them. Her dialogue in the English version indicates she is a valley girl.

—Goombella, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)

Goombella is a major character in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake. A third-year co-ed student studying archaeology at the University of Goom,[1] Goombella is a smart and sassy but friendly Goomba and 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 throughout his journey.

History

Paper Mario series

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Goombella's idle sprite from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Goombella's sprite

When Mario arrives at Rogueport at the beginning of the game, he sees a pink Goomba girl being attacked by Lord Crump and his minions. Mario helps her to defeat Lord Crump. She temporarily teaches Mario about the Action Commands. After defeating Lord Crump, he brings out his army to punish them, but they make their getaway to the plaza. Goombella, a junior at the University of Goom, thanks Mario, kisses him, learns about the map he has and that the princess had disappeared, and joins his party.

She possesses similar abilities to Goombario from the original Paper Mario, sharing the moves Headbonk, Tattle, and Multibonk with him. Unlike Goombario, however, an Action Command must be successfully performed for Goombella to Tattle an enemy in battle. Also unlike Goombario, she unlocks Multibonk at Super Rank rather than Ultra Rank and learns the move Rally Wink instead of Charge.

Her Tattle ability, which can be used in both battle and on the field, gives the player mostly helpful information on places, people, and enemies. 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 (a field-only one, stated in the Glitz Pit's major league locker room, where the bathroom is always occupied). Goombella's Tattles often include hints to help out Mario (e.g. telling Mario to check the grass in Petal Meadows). In the final chapter, near the last two rooms, she stops helping because she is unable to think of anything else to say. Goombella usually provides Partner Hints in the Nintendo Switch remake, unless another partner is needed for the current situation.

Goombella also has a tendency to break the fourth wall. For example, in Glitzville, she mentions how far Cheep Cheeps 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.

At the end of the game, Goombella writes an email to Mario, explaining what happened with herself and her friends. She starts to tell Mario something else, but then changes her mind and keeps her secret. Goombella becomes Professor Frankly's assistant at the end.

Battle abilities

Goombella using Headbonk in the Nintendo Switch remake

In battle, Goombella can attack enemies with her Headbonk ability, functioning similar to Mario's Jump attack, hitting any enemy up to two times. She cannot attack spiky or fiery enemies, and will instead take one damage if she does so.

Goombella can look up enemies with her Tattle ability, revealing their stats and abilities, as well as permanently displaying their HP during all battles with them. If the move is failed however, nothing will happen. Tattling on an enemy will also list them in Goombella's Tattle Log, where they can be viewed at any time while exploring. In the Nintendo Switch remake, Tattle checks can be performed on enemies that have already been tattled on, which involve Goombella repeating their Tattle information without using up a turn.

Once Goombella reaches Super Rank, she will gain the Multibonk ability, which allows her to continuously Headbonk a single enemy until an Action Command is missed or after enough attacks. Once Ultra Rank is obtained, Goombella learns Rally Wink, which allows Mario to gain a second turn if successful.

Super Paper Mario

In Super Paper Mario, Goombella appears as a Catch Card won by completing the Duel of 100 in Sammer's Kingdom. She also appears very briefly during the intro, where she and all the other partners from the previous Paper Mario titles can be seen in a photograph at the Mario Bros.' House.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star

Though she does not appear in the game, Goombella is mentioned in Paper Mario: Sticker Star when Mario searches the junk yard in Shy Guy Jungle before clearing it with a vacuum or goat thing. He can find a paper written by her. She has been researching the Chomp Ruins during the events of the game, but is not seen in the ruins nor anywhere else in the game, presuming she had finished the research or left the paper behind. The paper says:

"Observations on the Ancient Civilization of the Chomp Ruins"
 University of Goom
 Goombella

Super Mario-kun

Goombella, alongside Koops, is one of Mario's two partners in the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door arc of Super Mario-kun. Like in the game, she joins Mario after he helps her escape Lord Crump and his X-Nauts.

Super Smash Bros. series

There are a few items of Goombella in the Super Smash Bros. series. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, there is both a sticker and a trophy of Goombella. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, there is another trophy of Goombella.

Super Mario Run

Goombella appears as statue, together with Mario and Koops, in Super Mario Run. Her statue was given as a reward after completing six event missions from May 23, 2024 to June 27, 2024.[2] Her statue then becomes available to be placed in the Mushroom Kingdom through Kingdom Builder.

General information

Physical appearance

Goombella is a female Goomba who wears a helmet with a light and a matching torso with a red tie, and also has a large, blond ponytail. She has a pink head and brown shoes.

Personality

Goombella is shown to be loyal to Mario as well as having street smarts regarding Rogueport, as well as peppy. She also at times can be very sarcastic, as when encountering three Goombas in the sewers who gave her unwanted attention, in the GameCube version, she mentions that it is "so sweet" that they thought of her to the extent of "totally barfing" in an attempt at refusing them. Her dialogue in the English version indicates she is a valley girl.
