“Mario, I know all about your adventures around the world. You've been everywhere! And you always get the best of the bad guys. Everytime! You're the coolest! I wanna be just like you!”
Goombario, Paper Mario

Template:Character-infobox Goombario is a Goomba who lives in Goomba Village and idolizes 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 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, and in Paper Mario: Sticker Star by Kersti. In Super Paper Mario, Goombario appears as a Catch Card on the twentieth floor of the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials.

History and traits

Paper Mario

When Mario falls into Goomba Village at the start of Paper Mario, Goombario and his family (Goombaria, Goompa, Gooma, Goomama, and Goompapa) finds him and then faces Jr. Troopa and they let him rest in the Toad House. 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 Dolly when returning to Goomba Village, Goombario will suggest that Mario return it to Goombaria; and if Mario said no, he would suggest that Mario return it when "done with it" (while Goombaria would call Mario a "meanie" if refused).

Goombario is very analytic and playful, as he hints at desires to play with young Toads, young Yoshis, and Merlow.

In this game, Goombario's hat never drops out of his head.

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).

At the end of the game, Princess Peach writes a letter inviting him to the party that causes him to be excited and shouts "Whoa! Whoa! WHOOAAAAA!"

Super Mario-Kun

Goombario appears in the Paper Mario arc in Super Mario-Kun as Mario's partner. In volume 28 of Super Wario-Kun, he and Kooper are seen with Mario before Wario pushes the trio away.
