Private Goomp

Kurikkī is a Goomba who wears blue pajamas, and a minion of Bowser in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. He is first seen with Patabon and Heifā trying to take back Bowser's Castle with a Banzai Bill Blaster. However, they don't have ammo, leaving their king to get some. When Bowser acquires a Banzai Bill, Kurikkī, Patabon, and Heifā fire it into the castle.

Later, Bowser runs into Kurikkī wandering around alone outside Ibikki Tower. In talking with Kurikkī, Bowser learns that one of the three Star Vaccines is stored in a vault beneath his own castle. Bowser hastily leaves for said vault without Kurikkī.

At the vault, Kurikkī returns with his former companions, watching as Bowser defeats the Gera Express, and a Mario and Luigi repair Bowser's memory of the combination. Once he opens the safe, however, the three quickly push him inside, stating that Fawful has placed a reward on Bowser's head. This same safe is later found in Peach's Castle.

Kurikkī's last appearance comes after the closing credits of the game. Kurikkī and his two companions visit Bowser, who is bedridden after a fight with the Mario Bros. They apologize for their treason and asking to rejoin the Koopa Troop. Bowser pardons them on the condition that they help with repairs.

Kurikkī's name is probably derived from "Kuribo," the Japanese name for the goomba, and "Ricky," an English male name.
