In a similar manner to how Goombario's name is a portmanteau of ''Goomba'' and ''Mario'', Goombaria's name would appear to be a combination of ''Goomba'' and the name ''Maria''. It may also, however, simply be a more feminine-sounding variation of Goombario's name. Additionally, her Japanese name is ''Kuriko'', which combines the Goombas' Japanese name (''Kuribo'') with ''ko'', a Japanese name ending meaning ''child'', which is often used for female names.

Goombaria is Goombario's younger sister from the game Paper Mario. She discovers an unconscious Mario after his initial defeat at the hands of Bowser (and his Star Rod). After telling her family, Mario is brought to a Toad House to recover. Goombaria usually hangs out in Goomba Village. Goombaria had also lost her Dolly. If Mario returns it to her, she will give him a Star Piece and a kiss.

Later in the game, Mario receives a letter from her, where she expresses her curiosity about his adventure with Goombario. She also says that she sometimes goes shopping in Toad Town with mom, which she does during Chapter 5. At the end of Chapter 7 they return to Goomba Village. At the end of the game, Goombaria and her family is invited to the party at Peach's Castle.

In a similar manner to how Goombario's name is a portmanteau of Goomba and Mario, Goombaria's name would appear to be a combination of Goomba and the name Maria. It may also, however, simply be a more feminine-sounding variation of Goombario's name.

Are you and Goombario doing OK? I'm fine. Oh! This is Goombaria, by the way.
Are you having an exciting adventure? Is Goombario being a hero? Or is he just goofing off?
You know... I sometimes go shopping in Toad Town with Mom. Maybe we'll see you there. I'd really like to hear some of your exciting stories. I can't wait! Really!
You can beat up Bowser--I know it!♡
