Goombella

Goombella is Mario's first partner in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.

When Mario arrives at Rogueport at the beginning of the game, he sees a Goomba girl being attacked by Lord Crump. Mario helps her and defeats Lord Crump. Goombella thanks Mario and joins his party. She possesses the same abilities Goombario has outside of battle in the first Paper Mario.

She becomes Professor Frankly's lab assistant at the very end of the adventure.

The female, college-aged Goomba who is working with Professor Frankly to uncover ancient treasure. Similar to the presumably younger Goombario in the original Paper Mario, she joins Mario as a know-it-all guide. Her Tattle ability gives the player helpful information on places, people, enemies, etc. Unlike Goombario's summaries, which are mainly composed of only facts, Goombella inserts her own little opinoins in her descriptions. For example, she disses Beldam's snotty attitude, shows signs of resentment upon reading the "underlings of underlings" comment her book says regarding Goombas, 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). Her name is probably a portmanteau between "Goomba" and the female name "Isabella". Goombella's name in the Japanese version of the game is Kurisuchiinu(クリスチイヌ) (Pronounced Ku-Ri-Su-Ti-Nu), which comes from both Kuribo, the Japanese name for Goomba, and the female name "Christine".
