The '''Goomba Road''' is a small road that leads to [[Goomba Village (location)|Goomba Village]] and [[Toad Town]]. The road only appears during the events in the game ''[[Paper Mario]]''. As [[Mario]] and [[Goombario]] travel through this path, they must fight off the notorious [[Red & Blue Goomba Bros.]] and the [[Goomboss|Goomba King]], the first boss of the game, to continue their hike to Toad Town. The Goomba King's fortress is here, as are many secret items. Goomba Road is mostly an introductory area where basic skills are learned.

In the prologue of the game, Mario and Goombario travel through this path, heading for [[Toad Town]]. An opportunity for the player to practice battling with a partner is also provided in the area. The first time Mario and Goombario encounter a battle here, the latter will comment that the order they attack can be changed by pressing {{button|n64|Z}}.

The first part of the road is a straight one. At the beginning there is a notice board with a picture of a [[Goomba]] and the text: "Beware of Goombas!" If Mario reads it, however, the Goomba will jump off the notice board. On the path are two Goombas, a ? Block, a brick, another ? Block and a [[Paragoomba]].

The second part of the road is also a straight one. First there is a [[Spiked Goomba]], then a red ? Block containing the [[Close Call (badge)|Close Call]] badge. After that there is a notice board with a [[Mushroom]] and hints on how to eat one. If Mario reads it, the Mushroom will jump off the board. Then come a [[Paragoomba]] and a [[Heart Block]].

The third part of the road has a high platform in the right, a trampoline in front of it and a [[Save Block]] by the south side. Before Mario can reach the trampoline, the [[Red & Blue Goomba Bros.]] appear and fight Mario. After they are defeated, they flee east. Mario and Goombario can then use the trampoline to get to the high platform and go east.

The fourth part is a peaceful, straight one, with two notice boards. The first is a baiting one that shows a Mushroom and says, "Eat a Mushroom to regain your energy!", but if Mario reads the board, the Mushroom will flip into a Goomba and jump out. The second states that [[Goomba King's Fortress]] is ahead.

The final part is a descending path consisting of stairs. By the south side of it is a ? Block containing a [[Sleepy Sheep]]. After the stairs, there is a pavilion that's part of [[Toad Town]]. By the pavilion is a tree with a trampoline. Hammering the tree makes the trampoline drop for Mario to use it to get to the roof of the pavilion. On the roof is a chest with the [[Hammer Throw (badge)|Hammer Throw]] badge.

Once Toad Town is reached, Goomba Road plays no role in the rest of the storyline, except that Mario can return to it to collect items. It can also be used to go back to Goomba Village, but not necessary as one of the warp pipes in [[Toad Town Tunnels]] links to Goomba Village directly.
