Trivia
- Gooma's name is a portmanteau of "Goomba" and "grandma". She, like Goompa, actually notes this namesake upon meeting Mario.
- It is implied that she taught Tayce T. how to cook.
- According to Gooma, she looked like a lot like Goombaria back when she was a child.
- She finds Mario attractive as she says he is quite the looker.
- As with Goomba stemming from the Italian slang word goombah, Gooma stems from the Italian slang word goomah, which means godmother or mistress.
