==Biography==
When Mario has been knocked unconscious by falling from a great height and having just battled Bowser, Goombario's family takes the unconscious plumber to Goomba Village, a tiny village where peaceful Goombas live. When Mario is about to embark on a journey, Goombario's father tells Mario to take Goombario with him, to which Goombario happily agrees. They face Goomba King, blocking the way to Toad Town, and they're able to defeat him and clear a path to Toad Town. They reach the town, finding Luigi (having manage to escape before the confrontation with Bowser) at their home okay. They reach the Shooting Star Summit nearby and encountered the Star Spirits. Goombario was worried for Princess Peach, knowing she was captured by Bowser. Before heading to Merlon, they meet Twink who hands them a necklace before returning to Princess Peach. They find Merlon at his house, giving them instructions to get to Koopa village. But the path to it is blocked by four strange Toads, but Merlon uses his magic to take off their disguise revealing as the Koopa Bros. and they retreat back to their fortress. Merlon then tells Mario and Goombario to find Kooper who would help to get to the Koopa Bros.' fortress. 
Mario and arrive in the Koopa Village to find it completely in chaos due to the attack by Fuzzies and find Kooper who begs them to get his shell back from the Fuzzies. They chase the Fuzzies in the back of the Koopa Village where they recovered it back. Kooper thanks them and decides to join on dealing the Koopa Bros. They find the fortress, where they confront them, freeing Bombette and rescuing the first Star Spirit. Shortly after this They and Bombette are confronted by Jr. Troopa (who Mario and Goompa encountered earlier), but they defeat him and returns to Toad Town. Then Twink appears telling them that the second Star Spirit is in the Dry Dry Ruins.
They find the train that lead to Mt. Rugged, with a boulder in the tracks, Bombette clears it and they hop on the train and arrive at Mt. Rugged. They encountered Parakarry who was searching his letters he dropped and help him find them. Parakarry thanks them for finding the letters and joins them. With Parakarry's help, they finally reach Dry Dry Desert encountering Professor Kolorado who was having an expedition to find the Dry Dry Ruins and Kooper greets him informing that he's going to help Mario to rescue Princess Peach and he was impressed at this and Parakarry hands a letter to him. They find the Dry Dry Outpost and finds Moustafa who hands him a Pulse stone which would help find the Dry Dry Ruins. Mario finds the place where the Pulse Stone is detecting the ruins, it appear before them. Mario and his partners goes inside the Dry Dry Ruins, finding an artifact and a super hammer along the way. They reach the end of the ruins to find Tutankoopa and defeat him freeing the second Star Sprit and hands the Artifact to Kolorado who decides to check the Dry Dry Ruins.
Mario, Goombario, Kooper, Bombette and Parakarry return back to Toad Town, hoping to find the whereabouts of the third Star Spirit. They find Fice T. being terrorize by a ghost. Fice T. tells Mario and the others to go to the Forever Forest to check where the ghost was. They enter the Forest and find Oaklie who blocks their way, but lets them through upon hearing a business at the Boo's mansion. After venturing the forest, they finally reach the mansion and enter it. They solve some problem and reach the third floor finding a female Boo named Lady Bow and her butler Bootler (the ghost who been terrorize Fice T.). Lady Bow asks Mario to help her quest to defeat Tubba Blubba who was eating Ghosts and need to find his weak spot and will hand him the third Star Spirit who was able to escaped from Tubba Blubba before getting caught by the boos as he tried to return back to Star Haven. Mario and his partners accepts this with Lady Bow joining them.
They exit the mansion and head to Tubba Blubba's castle locating in the east. They arrive at Gust Gulch to find the other Boos there and learning that Tubba Blubba was eating ghost including Herbert before Mario's arrival. They encountered Stanley, but Tubba Blubba appears and forces all the boos, Mario and his partners to hide. But Stanley is been eaten by Tubba Blubba and he returns back to his castle leaving the other boos to mourn him. Mario and his partners reach Rubba Blubba castles avoiding his guards along the way and enter his bedroom seeing him sleeping on his bed and find Yakkey a key, who then wakes Tubba Blubba saying there's a thief. They quickly dash out of the bedroom with Tubba Blubba chasing them through out the castle. The other Boos are outside waiting for them, when they reach the front door and holding it shut to prevent Tubba Blubba from following Mario and the others. They return back to the windmill and use Yakkey to open it and finds Tubba Blubba's heart who then escaped outside where the latter is waiting for it and allow himself to rejoin him. However, he is no longer invisible and Mario and his partners defeat him. He admits defeat and release all the ghost he eaten and flees. Then Lady Bow thanks Mario and his partners for helping her defeat Tubba Blubba and they allowed to be part on the mission. Then she hand them the Third Star Spirit who then returns back to Star Haven. However as they ready to head back to Toad Town, they are confronted by Jr. Troopa in the Forever Forest, but was easily defeated, forcing him to retreat.
They return back to Toad Town to find it in chaos, seeing some Shy Guys stealing and looting items with one causing trouble at Mario's house forcing it to flee after Mario strikes it. Mario and his partners decide to find where the Shy Guys come from and return the items they stole back to it's owner. They encounter Twink who congratulates them for defeating Tubba Blubba and informs the Fourth Star Spirit is in a Toy Box belong to the Shy Guys. they find a empty building and Lady Bow uses her outta sight on Mario and everyone, just a Shy Guy enters and reveal a door on the wall leading to the Toy Box. They enter it and find the train station with it's train missing, returning the stole items back to it's owners and finding the train need to in the station, encountering Gourmet Guy who was hungry to move and hands him a cake, causing to him fly around dropping a cookbook in the process, thus allowing Mario to clear the tracks to lead to the other stations. They find Big Lantern Ghost in a dark room and defeat him, freeing Watt who then knows of his mission to rescue Princess Peach and joins him. They and Watt find General Guy in his lair, and defeat him freeing the fourth Star Sprit.
Later, after exiting the toy box and the fourth Star Spirit returns back to Star Haven, Twink soon appears informing Mario and the others that the Fifth Star Spirit is in LavaLava Island (having received this information from Gourmet Guy after he and Princess Peach fed him a cake) and returns back to Princess Peach. They go to the Toad Town Port, encountering Professor Kolorado whom learned of a treasure in Mt. Lavalava. However there are no ships to get there, but only a whale on the dock, who then tells him that someone is in his stomach and asks Mario and the others to go inside to check the source. It is reveal thanks to Watt was other than Fuzzipede, who then fights them, but was beaten and the Whale blows them out through the sprout, Fuzzipede thanks Mario and the others for freeing him and scolds the whale for almost getting him killed and he apologize. The whale then asks them if they want to get to LavaLava island and they did with Professor Kolorado joining too.
They arrive in Lavalava Island, and find the Yoshi Village, meeting the Yoshis and Sushie there. As they approach the volcano, Professor Kolorado was attacked by a Jungle Fuzzy and a spear guy, but was saved by Mario and the others. When they reach the entrance, only to find they need to across the river of lava and decide to find a way to get across. However, when they return back to the village, the Yoshis are panicking that the yoshi kids have wandered off into the jungle with Sushie trying to stop them and was put on a tree in the process. They decide to find them and bring them back, freeing Sushie from the tree who also helped them. After all the yoshi kids are back, the village leader instructs them to find Raphael the Raven who could help them get to the volcano. With Sushie joining them, they find him in a giant tree and helps them and Professor Kolorado get to the volcano.
When they are inside, Professor Kolorado was having trouble to across the lava, finding an ultra hammer. While Professor Kolorado was searching the treasure, Mario, Goombario and the others encounter the Lava Piranha and defeats it with Sushie's help, freeing The fifth Star Spirit Misstar. However the volcano is starting to erupt, forcing them and Kolorado to head to the next area, where the treasure is. But before Professor Kolorado was gonna get it, Misstar quickly leads him, Mario and the others out of the volcano as it erupts, also sending the treasure flying out, landing in the jungle, where Sushie was put on the tree. When they land at the volcano's entrance, Professor Kolorado mourns the lost of the treasure and immediately scolded by Misstar, who then thank Mario and the others and returns back to Star Haven and a sad Kolorado returns back to the village. Mario soon finds the treasure revealing it a volcano vase and hands it to Kolorado who was happy that he finally have the treasure and gives him a magic seed, he had found. They decide to return back to Toad Town to find the sixth Star Spirit's whereabouts. As they board the whale, Jr Troopa soon arrives exhausted swimming all the way to Mt. Lavalava island. When he sees them leaving, he chases them.
They return back to Toad Town Port, with Professor Kolorado thanking Mario for helping find the treasure, decides to return back to Koopa Village and find some information about the Crystal Palace. As soon he left, Jr. Troopa arrives completely exhausted from the swimming, attacks them, but was beaten lamenting that he should use his wings to get back to prevent from getting exhausted. Mario and his partners find Goomama and Goombaria who both happened to go shopping, where they praise Goombario, much to his embarrassment. 
==Abilities==
Goombario can use a special technique Goombas can only use in Paper Mario: Headbonk. Much like Mario, he lands on an enemy twice, but with his head rather than his feet. Despite living in the tiny Goomba Village and, at least very likely, having never fought before, he can tell Mario anything about any enemy with his Tattle ability. He can even use it to give Mario small hints on how to solve puzzles. With his Charge ability, Goombario can increase the amount of damage his next attack will do, and with Multibonk, he's able to endlessly Headbonk an enemy until the player misses the Action Command. He can hit enemies in the air as well as on the ground, but is helpless against enemies with spikes, fire or the ability to cling on to the ceiling.
