*Many times in the game, namely [[Cloudy Climb]], [[Bowser's Castle]], and [[Raphael the Raven]]'s Tree, Goombario mentions his fear of heights.
*[[Goompapa]] says that Goombario is named after [[Mario]]. And just as "Goombario" is a combination of "Goomba" and "Mario", his Japanese name, ''Kurio'', is also a portmanteau of "''Kuribō''" (クリボー, Goomba in Japanese) and "Mario" (マリオ).
*Judging by Goombario's tattles of them, he is apparently infatuated with [[Misstar]], [[Vanna T.]], [[Merlee]], [[Merluvlee]], and [[Chanterelle]].
*Goombario is a bit envious of [[Kooper]], probably because he "stole" Mario's attention, after all, he is the first team member after Goombario. The player can notice this by using the [[Tattle]] ability on [[Lee]] at the Toad Town [[Dojo]], or on an ordinary [[Duplighost]], when they turn into [[Kooper]]'s clones.
*Goombario's personality in the French version of ''Paper Mario'' is completely different from his personality in other versions. He talks in a very rude way, and even uses a couple of swear words during the game. As such, it makes him slightly similar to [[Goombella]].
