'''Goomfrey''' is a 30-year-old [[Goomba]] who lives in [[Rogueport]]. His name is a portmanteau of "Goomba" and the male name "Geoffrey".

In fact, he helps [[Mario]] by disposing of a bunch of [[Battle Trunks]] that the plumber picked up in the [[Glitz Pit]]. An issue of the RDM later states that he attacked the Pianta Exchanger at the [[Pianta Parlor]] in anger, causing the parlor to temporarily shut down. Goomfrey also wears a hat similar to [[Link]] from ''The Legend of Zelda'' games.
