'''Goombario''' is a young [[Goomba]] who acted as one of [[Mario]]'s playable partner characters in the original ''[[Paper Mario]]''. He was the first partner who could be recruited in Mario's quest. He is distinguished from other Goombas by the blue cap that he wears and having flat teeth in place of the fangs visible in other Goombas.

Goombario is a brilliant young [[Goomba]] from a family in Goomba Village that never defected to the Koopa Troop.  He has heard many tales of [[Mario|Mario's]] adventures and is a great admirer.  Because of this, Goombario has extensively studied all of Mario's enemies and can quote their strengths and weaknesses by heart.  He is quite knowledgeable about objects unique to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and well versed in regards to its inhabitants as well, from [[Princess Peach]] herself to the lowliest citizen.  Goombario has taken his fighting techniques from his grandfather, [[Goompa]], who was a great adventurer in his early years.

Mario first met Goombario after being thrown from Princess Peach's Castle within the prologue of ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Goombario's sister discovered Mario's unconscious body and brought him to safety.
