Paper Mario
- “Oh... Mario!? I have to fight Mario?! By myself? Why me? I'm toast...but I have to try! Feel my, uh...wrath, I guess!”
- —Goomba, Paper Mario
Goombas appear as a part of the Koopa Corps in the original Paper Mario. In his initial appearance, the Goomba King (later named Goomboss) leads some Goombas, Spiked Goombas and Paragoombas that reside along Goomba Road, the pathway between Goomba Village and Toad Town. His two henchmen, the Red & Blue Goomba Bros., appear in the game as well as a miniboss, and later accompany him in his boss fight. In the Toad Town Tunnels, Mario encounters Gloombas, navy blue Goombas variants that live underground, and are modeled after the Underground versions of Goombas from the original Super Mario Bros. Lastly, Hyper Goombas, green-colored Goombas similar to the Gu Goombas, are first seen in this game, along the trail of Gusty Gulch. These powerful Goombas can charge their attack power.
The regular brown Goombas patrol a small area and charge at Mario upon noticing him, like in Super Mario 64. In battle, Goombas attack by using the "Headbonk" technique, where they jump into the air, landing headfirst on Mario afterward. This attack can be blocked by defending just as the Goomba's head touches Mario. If he is struck by the attack, Mario takes one HP of damage. At the beginning of the game, it requires two stomps or two Hammer strikes to defeat a Goomba (as Goombas only have two HP). However, after Mario learns how to use Action Commands, he only needs one timed attack to defeat one of them. Other variants of Goombas, such as the Spiked Goombas, Paragoombas, Gloombas, and Hyper Goombas, have different stats and occasionally different attacks.
One Goomba can be fought in Chapter 4. During the Intermission after Chapter 3, Bowser asks Princess Peach what Mario fears most. One of Peach's choices is "A Goomba", and if she picks this, Kammy Koopa warps a Goomba to Shy Guy's Toy Box. Although Kammy expresses doubt that the Goomba will scare Mario away, she leaves the Goomba in charge of defending a Treasure chest. When Mario eventually arrives, the Goomba reluctantly chooses to fight Mario.
Despite the majority presence of Goombas loyal to Bowser, Paper Mario notably features the first community of peaceful Goombas, within Goomba Village. It is the family of Goombas (composed of Goompa, Gooma, Goompapa, Goomama, Goombaria, and Goombario) living in peaceful Goomba Village, that first discovered Mario unconscious after his initial defeat from Bowser. These Goombas nurse Mario back to full strength and provides him with a Hammer to fight the Koopa Corps. The family also allows Mario to take Goomnuts from their village; these nuts can be used by Mario to recover his FP. Goombario, a young Goomba and personal admirer of Mario, even joins the hero on his adventure. His Tattle ability is valuable, as he provides hints on how to defeat certain enemies. In addition, Goompa gifts Mario his first Badge, and accompanies Mario for a brief moment upon giving him the hammer.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Mario runs into a number of Goombas in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. These Goombas live in a town known as Rogueport. Many of these Goombas are independent thieves, bandits, crooks, cheats, and "cleaners". These ones wear green or other colored hats, similar to the hat Link wears. Although not the best of company, these Goombas from Rogueport do not attack Mario. However, the Goombas that live in Rogueport Underground, Petal Meadows or in Riverside Station are very aggressive. Goombas behave just as their Paper Mario counterparts but are not as much of a threat, since Mario can perform Action Commands from the beginning of the game. They also appear as enemies in Bowser's platformer levels, where they run away if they spot Bowser. However, Bowser can still take damage from them upon contact. All these Goomba species featured previously in Paper Mario also return in this game.
Although a large number of either aggressive or simply seedy Goombas appear in the game, The Thousand-Year Door features two Goombas that aid Mario in his adventure. His first partner to do so is Goombella, a female college student from the University of Goom, a school for Goombas. She actually joins Mario on his quest to find the legendary treasure hidden beneath the town of Rogueport (as well as rescue Princess Peach, who has been captured by the X-Nauts). Her Goomba teacher from Goomba University, Professor Frankly, also helps Mario by interpreting the Magical Map, allowing him to find the next Crystal Star and continue his journey. As members of the Audience, Goombas have no unique behavior, but will typically throw damaging items at Mario.
In the game's Nintendo Switch remake, fake cardboard Goombas named Goomboards appear as training targets when Mario practices with the Battle Master.

Super Paper Mario
- “Near as we can figure, most of the other minions got captured or something. And we're probably next! (Dude! Why is this dude so calm?! We're behind enemy lines!)”
- —Goomba, Super Paper Mario
Goombas appear in the game Super Paper Mario. In this adventure, Goombas are the first enemies to be battled. They are slightly less common than the Squiglets. Goombas also appear in the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials in rooms 2, 5, 14, and 46. Their HP is lowered to 1 in this game, but attack and defense stay the same from previous Paper Mario titles. Some of the Goombas in this game have the ability to Flip, just like Mario. This game also introduces Headbonk Goombas, which are throwbacks to the previous two Paper Mario games, as the Goombas' main attack is the Headbonk, and Dark Goombas, the dark versions of Goombas that appear in the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials. An unnamed Goomba, and another named Gary, appear after Chapter 2, helping Luigi find a way out of Castle Bleck. When they reach a dead-end, Gary is brainwashed, while the unnamed Goomba willingly joins Count Bleck's army. They then hold Luigi so that he can be brainwashed into Mr. L.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star
- “You! You think Goombas are just cheap little single-ply secondary characters? Think again! We're going on a Goomba joyride, and we're gonna roll you over like a little red speed bump!”
- —Goomba, Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Goombas return in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. They now have a design matching their appearances in contemporary Super Mario games as opposed to the first three Paper Mario games whose appearances were closer to ones from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island; their feet are now brown instead of red, their eyebrows are no longer as thick as in the previous Paper Mario games, and they are a darker brown. However, as shown in early builds of this game, they were first seen in their intial Paper Mario appearance.
In this game, regular Goombas are stronger and have more HP than their previous appearances, and are seen in Worlds 1, 2, 3, and 6, making them one of the most common enemies. Goombas can now turn into Paper-Cone Goombas, pointed Goombas that resemble paper airplanes and even fly toward Mario, and a 2-Fold Goomba. Goomba Wheel, Mural Goombas, and Shiny Goombas also debut in the game as well. Like in the first two Paper Mario games, the Goomba's only attack is by Headbonking Mario. If a Goomba's attack misses, it rolls over. Some Goombas fight alone, but they do aid Koopa Troopas, Buzzy Beetles, Spinies, Shy Guys, and Snifits. Some Goombas also hide in bushes and try to ambush the player by jumping out of the bush.
A trio of Goombas are fought in Decalburg to demonstrate the sticker mechanic. These same Goombas also guard the first Comet Piece in the game. The Megasparkle Goomba, a Goomba who went insane from a Royal Sticker, serves as the first major boss of the game. There are also two Goombas that assist Kamek during his battle in Water's Edge Way.
Goombas can be beaten with a First Strike without engaging in combat with them once the player has one Royal Sticker.

Paper Mario: Color Splash
- “GOOM! I mean BOOM! Ugh... I waited all day just to say that, and I totally blew it. Whatever. FIGHT ME!”
- —Goomba, Paper Mario: Color Splash
Goombas are recurring enemies in Paper Mario: Color Splash, although they are less common than Shy Guys in this game (in fact, the very first battle Mario has is against Shy Guys). They have the same appearance they had back in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. If Mario's hammer is powerful enough, Goombas can be defeated out of battle with a First Strike in order to not enter into a fight. Goombas also appear as NPCs in some levels such as The Golden Coliseum and the Sunset Express. A Goomba is the first-round opponent in Roshambo Temple #1. Allied Goombas attack the closest enemy with a Headbonk, which is a jump attack dealing 6 damage. It can send enemies into shells and ground flying enemies, but fails against enemies with spikes.
Goomba Wheels return in Sacred Forest, but they are called "Small Goomba Wheels" as the level is tiny due to Kamek's magic. One Paper-Cone Goomba returns in Kiwano Temple. Small Goombas, Small Goomba Gangs, Mega Goombas, Paragoombas, and Accordion Goombas also appear. In the Green Energy Plant, Dot Goombas[derived][1] appear themed after their appearance in Super Mario Bros. 3. They cannot be battled directly, and give paint when stomped on.

Paper Mario: The Origami King
Goombas return in Paper Mario: The Origami King. Regular Goombas appear as supporting characters, while origami Goombas appear as enemies in a variety of areas. In battle, Goombas attack with a Headbonk move, as well as other moves which Goombas con perform if there is more than one of them, such as Group Headbonk, in which multiple Goombas can Headbonk Mario at the same time; Wave Headbonk, where multiple Goombas will form a line and Headbonk each other in a domino effect, which hit Mario for how many Goombas are doing the attack, with the last one in the line doing a regular Headbonk; and Tower Attack (which is an attack many enemies can use), where multiple Goombas can form a tower by standing on each other's heads, with the Goomba at the top Headbonking Mario, and the amount of damage depends on how many Goombas are performing the attack. If Mario blocks while having any Guard Plus accessories equipped, the Goombas' Headbonk move deal no damage. Large Paper Macho Goombas also appear as enemies. Paragoombas, Bone Goombas, and Galoomba variants reappear.
When Mario lands in the dungeon of Peach's Castle, he meets a Goomba who claims he had never met Mario or a Toad before. However, this Goomba is later turned into a Folded Soldier and is the first one Mario must face on his adventure. On the path to Toad Town, Mario rescues a group of regular Goombas from Origami Goombas, who decide to hide in a house in Toad Town for the rest of the game. In Shangri-Spa, Goombas are among the minions being forced to do labor work to repay the damage from Bowser's Castle destroying the banquet hall.
