Goomba Family

The Goomba Family is a small family of goombas that live in the Goomba Village just west of Toad Town during the events of Paper Mario. They aid Mario at the beginning of his quest by providing him with a Hammer and his first partner in the game, Goombario.

Goompa
Goompa is Goombario's grandfather. Now old and with a bad back, Goompa used to travel the world with Koopa Koot and Bootler, he learned many things on his travels about the world. He passed this knowledge onto Goombario. He is married to Gooma. He first appears repairing the veranda round the back of the Goomba house with a hammer. However, the veranda breaks, and when Mario comes to get the hammer, Mario finds the veranda has fallen down the cliff, and falls down as well. When Mario finds the hammer in the forest below, Goompa "joins" his party, and tells Mario how to fight and to use the battle system in the fight against Jr. Troopa. When they get back to the village, Goompa recommends Goombario joins Mario. It is strongly hinted he trained the Master.

Goompapa
