Who’s the Best Partner in Paper Mario?

I'm the Don

[WaddleMoogle]

And with the Quick Change badge, *every character is Mario.*

[Juelz]

The way I see it Goombella is Mario’s jump and bobbery is the hammer. And just like the jump, goombella is more useful

[justafriendlycryptid]

I like Bobbery for his lore and banter. He deserves to be happy.

[MeridianW]

Let's not kid ourselves, the best partner in the game is the quick change badge

[maskyartist]

Everyone cheer for Goombella, the single party member I continued to have out every encounter I could just to hear her dialogue!!! We love Goombella in this house she’s written so well and kicks so much ass

[ShortMiao]

Fun fact: in the remake, there's only like 1 frame window to do the 4th jump with the power jump

[curlybrace]

“I hate these morons”

*shows enemy that appears literally only once in the entire game*

[Sockman]

Omg it all makes sense that goombella is Mario

[tatsumakivee]

When the foot soldier does more damage than a walking talking bomb

Goombella also has Tattle. No damage output, but fantastic for worldbuilding. That move alone fleshes out so much of TTYD's world and characters and without any of the Tattle dialogue, we wouldn't know nearly ad much as we do in terms of the game's lore. She has good attacks and gives the world its depth.

[Squincy.B]

I’m a huge Goombella fan, but Ms. Mowz has a certain energy that cannot be rivaled.

[fancymustache]

It is ABSOLUTELY goombella because not only does she have THE BEST dialogue of all the companions she lets mario go twice, her jump is amazing just like mario's, and tattle is fantastic for world building and helping people who refuse to use the wiki to find out enemy stats and weaknesses

[danielgiovanniello]

Nah it's Vivian because she's Vivian and we all love her

[Gamingtime]

I wish vivan was playable in other games one of my favorite characters

[hawkrose]

It's Vivienne, bc I love her, and I wish Nintendo still did designs like that in Mario games

[harleydiaz.]

Yeah Goombella, Koops and Yoshi. Great for the Glitz Pit

[PrincessofSarasaland]

Its Flurrie
And we're not ready for that conversation

[Marcus.]

One could argue that Yoshi’s stampede hits all enemies. Both airborne & on ground

[LaurenAnyone]

Love goombella just for the fact you can go up to every npc in the entire game and she’ll say something about them.

[DNPC]

This is just the paper mario equivalent of "Hey we heard you like fighter so we put more fighter in your fighter"
