==History==
===Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door===
Goombella first appears in . Just when Mario arrives to Rogueport, she is seen being interrogated by Lord Crump and some X-Nauts, trying to get information about the Crystal Stars. Mario manages to defeat them and escape with Goombella, who thanks him with a kiss. She explains that she came here to study the treasure said to be hidden beneath Rogueport, and Mario says he has a treasure map. Eager to find out more, she joins Mario's party to find her teacher, Professor Frankly, who is also in Rogueport. She then follows Mario for the rest of the adventure.
In the field, Goombella can consult the Tattle Log, giving Mario information about the various places and people they encounter on their adventure. She can also do this in battle, which also reveals an enemy's HP. In battle, she can also use Headbonk, where she jumps on enemies with her head to damage them. When upgraded to Super Rank, she can use Multibonk, which costs 3 FP, to continually use Headbonk on an enemy until she misses an action command. When upgraded to Ultra Rank, she can use Rally Wink, which costs 4 FP, where she kisses Mario, allowing him to attack twice in one turn.
At the end of the game, Goombella sends Mario an e-mail, saying that she became Professor Frankly's assistant in Rogueport. She also gives an update on what has been happening with Mario's other partners. At the end of the message, she hints that she has romantic feelings for him, but Goombella brushes it off.
