Goombella

Goombella is a female goomba who also happens to be a college student at U Goom, majoring in archaeology. She is somewhat of a chatterbox, and by pressing Y, she will tell Mario about any area, person or item he wants to know about. In battle, she mainly Headbonks, which is akin to Mario's own jumps.

Goombella's Moves:

Initial Moves:
Headbonk 0 FP Goombella headbonks an enemy. This can't be used on enemies with spikes atop them or fiery enemies. Execute a Timed Hit by pressing A just as Goombella lands on the enemy. This allows Goombella to Headbonk twice. Execute a Stylish Move by pressing A just as Goombella is jumping off the ground.
Tattle 0 FP Goombella gives Mario a description of an enemy, as well as its stats. After an enemy is tattled, it is added to the Tattle Log, and its HP will be visible. Execute a Timed Hit by pressing A as the crosshair is within the circle. If this isn't done, Tattle will fail. Execute a Stylish Move by pressing A a moment after executing a Timed Hit.
Super Rank Moves:
Multibonk 3 FP Goombella repeatedly headbonks an enemy, as long as Timed Hits keep getting executed. Execute a Timed Hit by pressing A just as Goombella lands on the enemy. This can be done multiple times for multiple headbonks Execute a Stylish Move by pressing A just as Goombella is jumping off the ground.
Ultra Rank Moves:
Rally Wink 4 FP Goombella kisses Mario, which allows him to act twice in a single round. Execute a Timed Hit by rapidly tapping A or B (whichever is shown at the time) until the gauge passes the designated point. If this isn't done, Rally Wink will fail. Execute a Stylish Move by pressing A as the heart appears after Goombella kisses Mario.

Goombella's Advantages
Headbonk has all the properties of Mario's jump, and can therefore flip shelled enemies.
After Tattling an enemy, its HP remains visible forever, and it appears in the Tattle Log.
Since Headbonk attacks twice, badges that increase her Attack Power increase the strength of each bonk.
Goombella can attack airborne enemies, as well as enemies in the back row.
Multibonk can be the most powerful-single enemy attack in the game, especially if Goombella charges up a few times first.
Rally Wink is useful in giving Mario a second attack in a round, since he's generally more powerful than anyone else.
Goombella's Disadvantages
Goombella cannot attack spiky or fiery enemies.
Since her Attack Power is partitioned among two attacks, she isn't as effective against enemies with high defense.
