Was tinkering and playing around with the idea for a Goombaria sticker because I love her SO MUCH and I finally got it!

My girl deserved the world and about 30 more minutes of screen time! I need to sit down and play with her and her dolls /sobs

Goombaria did not have to violate her brother like that. He was just saying goodbye

GOOMBARIA

[suppermariobroth]

In Paper Mario, Chuck Quizmo is a character who quizzes Mario on details about the game world. His first question is about Goombario's sister, Goombaria. As the questions are multiple-choice, they each provide two wrong answers alongside the correct one, which in this case, are two fake Goomba names that do not exist within the game.

However, by what is most likely pure coincidence, both the Japanese and the English version of this question managed to separately predict the names of two future female Goomba characters who did not exist at the time of the game's release.

The Japanese version's first wrong answer is "クリスチーヌ" (Christine)*, which later became the Japanese name of Goombella from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The English version's first wrong answer is "Goombette", which later became the name of the female Goomba character from Super Mario Odyssey.

*Note that the name is pronounced "Kurisuchinu" in Japanese, which makes it a pun on "Kuribo", the Japanese name for Goombas, while also being a common given name.

Paper Mario Review

So this is an old old game but it deserves a review as far as I'm concerned. For those who may not know, Paper Mario is the very first Paper Mario game, made for the Nintendo 64. It is incredibly fun and has some fun ideas, but also has some issues. Let's get started.

In Paper Mario, you play as Mario, who has been invited to the Castle by Princess Peach, only for her to be kidnapped by Bowser...again...The game starts with a story of the Star Spirits and their wish granting wand. Bowser tapes in Kammy Koopa to help seal the star spirits away and steal the wand so he can finally have his wishes granted. It's selfish wishes like "I want to defeat Mario" and "I want Peach to like me" which, let's be fair, are only evil because he is the villain, lol. Anyway, this is actually pretty clever, even though he really goes about his wishes wrong. He only makes two that we know of. One allows him to put his castle under Princess Peach's castle and fly away with it, the other allows him to become invincible to Mario's attacks. Anyway, Bowser defeats Mario and sends him away. But doesn't use his wish that Princess Peach likes him (I guess because he wants her to like him on her own?)

Mario is found by a female Goomba called Goombaria. Her brother, a Mario fanatic named Goombario joins Mario on his quest to save the princess. This is one of the things I really like and the next two Mario Games really use to greater or lesser advantage. The problem here is with one or two exceptions, the partners are generally unintersting and without much personality. The most interesting one is Koopakarry, the postman. And maybe Lakilucas (who goes by Spike). But characters like Goombario are just boring. Like I get Goombario is Mario's biggest fan but that doesn't explain how he knows the stats of every enemy Mario faces, even when it's an enemy he's never faced before. In general, what makes the partners interesting is their uniqueness and some of their abilities. Sushi can swim and dive. Spike is immune to spikes and can glide carrying Mario. Parrakarry can briefly fly carrying Mario allowing you to get past small gaps. Bow, the Boo, can make Mario invisible to enemies. Stuff like that.

Anyway, Mario has to collect all the star spirits, and each one tells you where the next one should be, and gives you a new ability. You're also constantly chased by Koopa Jr, this egg creature thing that's a bit of a bully and can't stand that you beat him, I guess. He's a pain, but easy enough to deal with. And lends himself to some pretty decent comedy. Throughout the game, you'll swap to playing Princess Peach, able to send Mario badges only found in the castle and find new information she can send to Mario with Twink the star. Once all the star spirits have been rescued Mario can go rescue Princess Peach. With the help of the Star Spirits, Bowser's not so invincible. And even with the help of Kammy's power platform thing, all that happens is Peach adds her power to the Star Spirit's power, negating that invincibility again. Once you win, the wand is taken back, baby stars start ascending to the heavens again, and things go back to the way it should be.

Yes, this game has it's problems, but it was the first of it's kind and started a legacy. It took itself much more seriously than current Paper Mario games do, but it is a fun ride nontheless. All in all, a pretty solid 4/5.

Remaster idea for Paper Mario

Option to choose between Goombario and Goombaria as your partner. Only causes changes in dialogue and tattle flavortext

Example “My brother would probably like her. Think I should try and get him an autograph?”

“I hear Jr. Troopa gets his powerups by mail-order. Man I wish my allowance was big enough I could buy wings.”

May be a “new game plus” thing.

This is based on how she has incomplete partner data.
