Biography[]

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[]

After Bowser teams up with Mario and Luigi to help save Princess Peach's voice from Cackletta of the BeanBean Kingdom, they venture to the neighboring kingdom via the Koopa Cruiser. The entire Koopa Troop is brought along as well as muscle along with Captain Goomba (then just a regular Goomba and another Goomba who went on to become Private Goomp. A Koopa Troopa has trouble getting them into barrels to transport over the Beanbean Border but Mario and Luigi defeat them on their way to the Koopa Cruiser's deck and they are finally sealed in barrels. Shortly after Mario and Luigi go to the deck, the Koopalings (Iggy Roy, and Wendy Koopa arrive and tell the two Goombas their duty as they berate them for being stomped on by Mario. Just then, however, the Koopa Cruiser's engine has taken serious damage by Fawful and causes the airship to implode.

Captain Goomba regains consciousness on the road to Hoohoo Mountain at the same time that Tolstar has Mario and Luigi running around Stardust Fields for coins. After he quickly finds his way out of the cave he has landed in, he sees Bowser flying past him as a result of the fight against Tolstar. Before he goes after him, he practices his attacks on a boulder which shatters in two strikes and As he goes off, he runs into a Beanie and break into battle with it after Captain Goomba insults it in their quick argument from seeing each other when he calls it ugly and unusual. Though he is not very confident, the Goombas motivate him through compliments and he charges off into battle though they comment that he has a visible "aura of stupidity." Throughout the next few levels, he learns about Captain Commands (which allow him to empower his troops and cripple the enemy) and the Power Triangle (which unit is strong against which).

After Captain Goomba defeats the Beanie, he runs into four of his fellow Goomba comrades who are standing around and trying to decide what to do next but all refuse leadership positions. After getting yelled at for hugging a Goomba despite them not being the hugging type, the Goombas make him their leader as they plant a flag on his head although it is actually a ruse as the other Goombas want to escape the job of responsibility.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey[]

Captain Goomba plays a supporting role in Bowser's Jr. Journey. He is first fought in the level "Goomba Squad, Go!", where he and the other Goombas are sent by Ludwig to battle Bowser Jr. and test his strength before leaving Bowser's Castle and finding the ingredients of Skeletone Formula:D. Jr. defeats him. Later on in the level "The Power of Junior", Captain Goomba rallies the other captains for Bowser Jr. to take on as one final test, even challenging him to defeat King Bob-omb in less than a minute and a half. After the battle, Captain Goomba insists to go guard the fort with Lemmy, but Bowser Jr. insists he stays so he can be his punching bag, telling him he only exists to entertain him. Captain Goomba is left upset as he never got to his twentieth victory against Jr.

Later on in the game, after the Best Fitness Friends take over Bowser's Castle, Bowser Jr. returns to the castle only to be defeated. Before the BFF could finish him off, Captain Goomba and the other captains arrive to aid him and succeed in pushing the BFF retreating back to the castle. The captains join the team after they rescue Wendy in the level "The Trio Clash!".

In the post game, after Bowser Jr. titles Private Goomp as his new sparring partner, Captain Goomba sarcastically congratulates him as it means he won't be seen as a punching bag anymore. Jr. sees Captain Goomba and asks if he wants to join in, but he quickly flees.

Personality[]

Captain Goomba is an insanely loyal Goomba who above all else wished to serve Bowser and bring down Mario and Luigi to fulfill his master's goals to the point that even Roy Koopa (arguably the most bullheaded Koopaling) gained a personal respect for him due to his sheer loyalty. Though this makes him an antagonist, he is shown to be a very kind and caring minion who harbored some level of respect for Mario and Luigi as enemies and was very forgiving of traitors (even the Elite Trio despite them trying to fight him six times and then trying to blow up the Koopa Cruiser). Though he started out cowardly and unsure of himself, he became more confident although he still had his insecure moments which his fellow Captains helped him through.

Captain Goomba was initially very naïve and gullible which led many minions to say he has an "aura of stupidity" (though Captain Goomba remained ignorant of this until Captain Shy Guy said it bluntly to his face). As revealed in Teehee Valley, Captain Goomba (along with most of the Koopa Troop according to dialogue) was quite bigoted and hated all Toads for associating with Mario. Despite all of this, Captain Goomba remained intensely loyal to both Bowser and the Koopalings and often offered up his position of Minion leader to them instead (though they always declined due to laziness).

Powers and Abilities[]

  • Durability-Captain Goomba could survive (amongst other things); Rocket Headbutts from other Goombas, Rains of Pain from multiple minions (especially Hammer Bros), four direct hits from Bowser's fire breath, and Fawful's Chain Shot but still fight for quite a while. His most impressive show of durability however was surviving the
  • Leadership-Captain Goomba is an insanely talented leader, taking down hundreds of brainwashed Minions as well as the Koopalings and Fawful with his leadership abilities.
  • Agility-Captain Goomba is extremely agile, being able to dodge the future Captain Shy Guy's turnip with ease.
  • Endurance-Captain Goomba is easily able to follow Princess Peach's plane with ease during Minions Quest's end credits without tiring.
  • Light Weight: Captain Goomba is very light, able to be carried on Captain Boo's back and jump across clouds in the sky.
  • Fourth Wall Awareness: Captain Goomba is aware that he is in a video game, telling the player in his very first level to press Start to see how many waves are left to defeat.
  • Minion Spirit: Captain Goomba has an incredibly powerful loyalty to Bowser which he could harness in a number of different ways.
    • Minion Spirit Empowerment: Captain Goomba could harness his Minion Spirit to increase his power and execute his Special Skill, Rocket Headbutt.
    • Brainwashing Immunity: Captain Goomba was completely immune to Fawful's mind control spray with the latter's dialogue implying it was because of his intense loyalty.
  • Headbutt: Captain Goomba was able to launch into the air and launch back down headfirst into his enemies hard enough to obliterate a large boulder in two hits.
    • Rocket Headbutt: Captain Goomba's signature attack which was an identical but more powerful version of the regular headbutt.
  • Captain Commands: Captain Goomba can utilize a series of abilities he himself created to improve the battle in a variety of ways.
    • Deny: Captain Goomba can shout out and prevent an enemy from performing their Special Skill.
    • Chance: Captain Goomba can summon and strike a ? Block for a variety of effects including increasing his allies' attack or accuracy or causing damage to certain enemy troops or even all enemies at once.
    • Rally: Captain Goomba can call out and amass the Minion Spirit of his allies to allow them to perform more Special Skills.
    • Clash of Captains: Captain Goomba could recklessly charge through the enemy ranks and force their captain into one-on-one captain. However, this is risky since it allows all of the enemy troops to damage and even (potentially) instantly KO Captain Goomba.
      • Minion Spirit Empowerment: Successfully pulling off a Clash of Captains however surrounds Captain Goomba in orange fire and gives a massive Spirit boost which allows him to immediately pull off up to three Special Skills in a row.

Quotes[]

*sigh) I can't believe we got stomped AGAIN. Oh, well. I'll beat that stupid Mario next time... Let's band together next time. Strength in numbers and all.
~ Captain Goomba's first words (as a normal Goomba) after being trapped in a barrel by Mario and Luigi.
What... Wh-Where am I? Where's Lord Bowser? Where are my fellow Minions...? Hello? Is anyone out there? HELOOO! This is bad... I'm all alone and have NO idea where I am.
~ Goomba upon awakening in the Beanbean Kingdom.
Is that...Lord Bowser?! Oh, no. I should...I should...I should limber up with some warm-up exercises...
~ Goomba upon seeing Bowser being launched from Tolstar's cannon.
BAH! What is that freaky monstrosity? Whoa... That weird bean thing just talked...
~ Goomba when confronted by a Beanie.
I'm only used to fighting Mario! For now... I'll just keep bashing!
~ Goomba entering his first battle.
Hm. We're both low on HP at the moment... I need something to secure the win... Alrighty! Time to show you the fruits of my labor! I'll stomp like a moustachioed fiend, and then stomp down hard... RIGHT ON YOUR STUPID HEAD!
~ Goomba activating his very first Special Skill on his first enemy.
YEAH, BABY! That was awesome! Turns out my Special Skill is epic!
~ Goomba after defeating his first enemy.
What? More enemies?! I wonder how many battles await me... Oh, right! Pressing START will show me how many battles I have left. I'll put that know-how to good use!
~ Captain Goomba when confronted by his second enemy and breaking the Fourth Wall.
Oh, great. TYPICAL. More weird bean things. Or, wait... That gorgeous shape...is oddly familiar... My...my... MY COMRADES!!!
~ Captain Goomba upon seeing his very first squad of minions.
Whatever it is, I promise to rise to the challenge! Ooh, I love this plan! It's a great and grand plan! Going alone is scary. It's not the Goomba way! A good old fashioned team-up is the way to go! Yes, indeed! Just one question... What's with that flag? The one UP THERE.
~ Captain Goomba upon being captained.
Behold our Minion Spirit!
~ Captain Goomba using Rally.
Look! Over there! You! Weird guy! Stop that!

Fawful: Hahahaha! Oh. the chortles I am having! Did I already not tell you the news of your ultimate sadness. *singing* Bowser is not a thing that is here... Your tears make hee, har, and cheer... He's gone! He's gone! Fawfully-do! Just like, soon, the one who is you. *ends singing* Go ahead and have searching for all of the eternities! Hah!
Captain Goomba: I... will... DESTROY YOU!!!
~ Captain Goomba starting the apparent final battle.
My king...My lord... Lord Bowser!! M-my king! Thank you...! I... I'm just glad you're safe. It's been such a long journey... *sniffle* WAAAAHHH!! I'M JUST SO HAPPY!!
~ Captain Goomba when meeting Bowser (who was actually Bowletta disguised).
Whoa there. Destroy him? I mean... Wow. Okay then. Lord Bowser, I know you're upset, but isn't that a little... much?
~ Captain Goomba when Bowletta told him to destroy Mario.
Right! You got it. One destroyed Mario, comin' right up. Goomba Squad! MOVE OUT! Time to take down Mario!!
~ Captain Goomba's most famous line after Bowletta told him to destroy Mario.

Trivia[]

  • The original game featured a cutscene upon entering Bowser's Castle where Fawful informed Bowletta about the arrival of Mario and Luigi and she summons the Koopalings. This cutscene is missing from the remake with it instead just showing the Mario Bros. arriving since. In Minion Quest, Bowletta disguised as Bowser ordered Captain Goomba and the other minions of Bowser to attack Mario and Luigi instead.
