Fighter Summary:
Wanderin' Goom's story begins on a clear, starry night. The Black Sugar Pirates, lead by Captain Syrup, were planning an attack on Bowser's Castle. Word was on the high seas that the Koopa Clan had just hijacked a gorgeous, gold statue of the Princess Peach from the new gardens outside the Royal Castle. Syrup and her crew were supposed to sneak inside, silence the guards, and steal away onto their ship with the booty. However, one particular pirate had forgotten to do his job right, and that was none other than Goom.
Goom's duty was to knock-out the Koopas guarding the keyroom using his Noxious Gas maneuver. However, Goom was not as slick as he had boasted himself to be, and was spotted by a Koopatrol on duty that night. Spooked, Goom freaked and almost blew the pirates' cover. He was nabbed by the Magikoopa Kamek, and thrown into a jail cell with two other pirates he was working with, Buckethead and Chef Chowder (a walking snowman creature and a cooking duck respectively). Though they were abandoned, Goom's fiasco did create the necessary distraction for the Black Sugar Pirates to escape with the statue in their possession, which they took back to their stronghold on Kitchen Island.
Now without a group for support, Goom spent the following years in a state of dementia, while Chef Chowder and Buckethead discussed a very elaborate plan of escape. They would require a Koopa strong enough to break the walls of the cell for them...
Luck had come soon enough, when a young soldier named Flip was on patrol outside their cell with a younger Morton Koopa. The two prisoners set up a scam where Morton was badly injured, and Flip the only plausible suspect when Kamek appeared, was thrown into the cell with the pirates. There, Goom slowly came out of his senility as Flip became more friendly towards his cellmates (unaware that they put him in there), and the quad was soon joined by a young yoshi, Banshee, to round them out to a quint. Now five strong, the plan could be put into action the way the two pirates had planned it. With Flip's shell, they ricocheted a still-insane Goom headfirst into the wall of the cell repeatedly until it broke and they were free. Stealing a boat, they sailed off into the sea.
Goom arrived at Message Board City with Flip, but not before two freak events reunited Banshee with his parents, and killed the two pirates who had helped them escape. Coincidentally, Kamek has also forgotten any of these events ever happened in the past, most likely because Bowser doesn't really care.
Goom now lives with Flip as his sidekick and roommate, as well as the go-to guy for when somebody needs a commentator. He seems to be enjoying his time at SSS so far, and we're glad he could join us.

Goom's Moves:

B Moves

Sonic Pain

Goom opens his mouth incredibly wide, and launches a damaging sound wave, accompanied by some random yelp or a burp. The wave isn't very strong in terms of doing percentile damage, but it does knock enemies back, and can travel for a while depending on what the sound was.
UP+B Moves

Flame Jet

A pretty disgusting attack, Goom will consume a chili pepper, and quickly after get a stomachache and launch himself into the air on a spicy burst of flame from his ass. This is a very fast, very powerful aerial tackle. However, it doesn't send Goom too too far, and the flames aren't strong enough, or last long enough, to burn.
FORWARD+B Moves

Rollout

Taking a page from Jigglypuff's book, Goom rolls in place and builds up power before unleashing himself in a full-on tackle.
DOWN+B Moves

Noxious Gas

Goom bites his lip and looks like he's straining for a split-second just before the relief comes. Similar to Ebisumaru's Poison Gas attack in Goemon's Great Adventure, Goom makes a laughing noise and a sigh of relief as a burst of poison gas (methane, to be exact) comes out of, and surrounds, his body. The gas cloud remains for a few seconds before disipating, and can deal damage to anybody who walks into it. Also, if you're standing next to Goom while he uses the attack, you can get knocked back by the initial outburst. This is Goom's signature move, of course.
