- “Good day to you, Gonzales. What can I do for you today? What's that you say? You must use the cannon in Fahr Outpost to save the world? Hmmm... Well, that IS rather a pickle, isn't it?”

Goldbob is a Bob-omb who appears in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door; his name refers to his gold coloring. He first appears in Glitzville, outside of the Glitz Pit, along with his wife, Sylvia, and his son, Bub. Goldbob soon becomes a fan of "The Great Gonzales" (Mario's adopted fighting name) after his position in the ranks of the Glitz Pit moves up. Goldbob continues to call Mario "Gonzales" until the end of the game, even after Mario "retires" from fighting. He also may have had some involvement in the creation of Fahr Outpost's Grande Boom, due to the fact that one of the requirements to use the cannon was to both gain Goldbob's permission to use the cannon and his guide on how to use it.
Goldbob and his family appear again aboard the Excess Express on his way to Poshley Heights. They are among the passengers who are absorbed into a horde of Smorgs that attack the train on the third day, and are eventually freed after Mario defeats the Smorgs, causing them to blow away in the wind. Following the train voyage, Goldbob and his family remain in Poshley Heights.
Mario must later revisit Goldbob in Poshley Heights for his permission to use the cannon in Fahr Outpost. Mario must give up all his coins to Goldbob in exchange for the permission, though Goldbob returns him the coins soon thereafter.
After Chapter 7, Goldbob posts a trouble in Rogueport's Trouble Center, in which he asks for a Package to be sent to General White. After Mario delivers the Package to Goldbob and speaks to Goldbob, the Bob-omb rewards the plumber 64 coins (a reference to the Nintendo 64).
