Goomba Village (location): Difference between revisions

'''Goomba Village''' is a small village in the northwest of [[Mushroom Kingdom]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. It is populated by a single family of [[Goomba]]s and a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] who runs the [[Toad House]]. Goomba Village is the first town and location [[Mario]] visits after being beaten by [[Bowser]], and with only two houses and seven inhabitants, it is also the smallest. In the prologue, Mario learns basic skills in this village before he sets off for [[Toad Town]]. He also gets his first [[Power Jump|badge]] and [[Goombario|partner]] here. Goomba Village is the only place in the game where Mario can find [[Goomnut]]s.

To the left of the area back of Goomba Village is a land with many trees, bushes, and brick blocks. This is what [[Jr. Troopa]] calls his playground. The first time Mario enters here, Goompa explains to him what a Hammer looks like. Mario can find the Hammer in a bush. Coins are also scattered in the trees and bricks. When they return, however, Jr. Troopa comes, kicks Goompa, and blames the two for entering his playground without permission. He then battles the two. After Mario wins, Jr. Troopa says he will come back. (He will be provoking Mario several times throughout the rest of the game.) This is a tutorial battle that teaches the player about Jump attacks, Hammer attacks, and [[Star Point]]s.

There is a save block at the center of this area. A doll called [[Dolly]] can be found in the tree near the entrance. If Mario gets this item (by hammering the tree) when he is with Goompa, Goompa will comment that [[Goombaria]] has lost it.

==Area Tattles==

*"''According to [[Goombaria]], this is where you landed. Something about this clearing feels weird. I can't really say exactly what, though...''"

*"''I think this is [[Jr. Troopa]]'s secret base. That crazy kid! Whenever I try to explore in there, he freaks out. He needs to chill.''"

*"''These are the woods behind my house. Until a little while ago, Goombaria and I use to play hide-and-seek here... but there have been a lot of evil [[Goomba]]s and [[Paragoomba]]s spotted in the area, so [[Goomama|Mom]] doesn't let us play anymore.''"

*"''These are the woods behind my house. Careful! There are many bad Goombas around here. Sorry... I'm sure that you can probably take care of yourself, huh?''"

*"''This is Goomba Village. My family lives here. There's also a [[Toad House]], which, as you probably know, is a good place to take a rest. That big tree near my house is a great place to get [[Goomnut]]s.''"

==In-game map description==

*''Beaten by Bowser, Mario fell into the forest near here. [[Goombario]]'s family lives here, and there's a [[Toad House#Paper Mario|Toad House]], too.''

*''Goombario's family lives here and there's a Toad House, too. The tree next to Goombario's house bears [[Goomnut]]s.''
