- “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
Goombario is the first of Mario's party members in Paper Mario. His name later appears in the Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour scorechart. Also, in Super Paper Mario he appears as a Catch Card found on the twentieth floor of the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials.
History
When Mario falls into Goomba Village at the start of Paper Mario, Goombario and his family (Goombaria, Goompa, Gooma, Goomama and Goompapa) find him and 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. By pressing C-Down, Goombario can use his tattle to find out where Mario is and tell him about the people they meet. Goombario is named after Mario according to Goompapa.
He will occasionally break the fourth wall and his tattles seem to indicate a friendly rivalry with Kooper. He also stated he would like an Albino Dino for a pet.

Trivia
- Many times in the game, namely Cloudy Climb, Bowser's Castle, and Raphael the Raven's Tree, Goombario mentions his fear of heights.
- Goompapa says that Goombario is named after Mario. And just as "Goombario" is a combination of "Goomba" and "Mario", his Japanese name, "Kurio", is also a portmanteau of "Kuribo" (Goomba in Japanese) and "Mario".
- Judging by Goombario's tattles of them, he is apparently infatuated with Misstar, Vanna T., Merlee and Merluvlee, and Chanterelle.
- Goombario is a bit envious of Kooper, probably because he "stole" Mario's attention, after all, he is the first team member after Goombario. The player can notice this by using the Tattle ability on Lee at the Toad Town Dojo, or on an ordinary Duplighost.
