|species=[[Goomba]]

After the Mario Bros. defeat him and another [[Goomba]] in the first battle of the game, he starts out in a barrel, swearing with his Goomba comrade that they will have a bigger role. However, after [[Fawful]]'s attack on the Koopa Cruiser, he was separated from his fellow minions and grew worried. He eventually heard a crash and Bowser being flung through the sky upon emerging from a cave on [[Hoohoo Mountain]] (presumably, this occurred after [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]'s fight against [[Tolstar]] due to the timing). He eventually ends up inadvertently picking a fight with a [[Beanie]]. After reuniting with his allies (leading to an "awkward hug" by pouncing on one of them), he is then promoted to captain of the unit (although it is heavily implied that they simply stuck him in the position because the others were unwilling to take up the mantle), which he accepts, although he humorously ends up not understanding the position or the flag. He then leads them to his first battle and recruiting more soldiers (and being told he had an aura) before charging off to save Bowser. However, he ends up running into a wall. Over the course of the adventure, however, he starts to prove himself a truly great and effective leader, with his fellow comrade Captain Shy Guy remarking at one point that he reminds him of Bowser, and his soldiers ultimately gain a lot of respect for the Goomba and look up to him. Even the Koopalings eventually gain respect for Captain Goomba in the level "[[Goomba's Worth]]" where he proves to have loyalty towards Bowser exceeding even their own. Only Roy and Wendy lack respect for him as they were only working for him to recover Bowser. Eventually, after beating Fawful for seemingly the final time, in the level "[[Showdown Time!!]]", Captain Goomba finally finds Bowser (not knowing it was actually [[Bowletta]]) and expresses delight at finding it. It congratulates him before telling him that Mario and "Green 'Stache" are coming and telling him to "destroy Mario", which surprises Goomba but he is quickly shut down. Regardless, he obeys and orders his minion army to move out and attack Mario.

===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''===

He is first seen near the beginning of the game with his Goomba Squad, being forced to battle Bowser Jr. for around the tenth time. He quickly loses and is forced to fight again due to Bowser Jr. not being able to count very well. After Bowser Jr. leaves with a [[Mechakoopa]] to find the ingredients for [[Skeletone Formula:D]], Ludwig summons Captain Goomba along with the other Captains to lead their troops in testing Jr. to see if he is ready.

Captain Goomba is fought twice in Bowser's Castle (east), firstly as the captain of the last round in [[Goomba Squad, Go!]], and in [[The Power of Junior]] where he and the other captains are regular troops with [[King Bob-omb]] as the captain only to be defeated. He and the other captains appear once more at the start of the level [[The Trio Clash!]] in Bowser's Castle (west), where he and the other Captains rescue Wendy from the Best Fitness Friends and then join Bowser Jr's army.
