History Awesome / MinionQuestTheSearchForBowser

* This may not be as spectacular or amazing as the other moments listed below, but Captain Goomba's warm-up exercise is the first time we truly see how powerful a Goomba can be. By just head-butting the boulder two times, he was able to completely ''destroy'' it! This shows why Mario gets one-hit KO by a Goomba when he's caught off guard by their attacks and why Bowser keeps them employed as his minions.
* The whole idea of the game, and screw it, just Captain Goomba himself, can be seen as one. A single Goomba banding all of Bowser's minions together to take back the castle, defeat all of the Koopalings and Fawful and save Bowser. [[spoiler: Ludwig in particular is amazed that one Goomba is able to accomplish so much, all through his loyalty to his master.]] It's no wonder that Captain Goomba gains the respect of his soldiers so easily.

--->'''Fawful:''' Hahahaha! Oh, the chortles I am having! Did I not already tell you the news of your ultimate sadness? *sing* Bowser is not a thing that is here... Your tears make hee and har and cheer... He's gone! He's gone! Fawfully-doo! Just like, soon, the one who is you! *sing* Go ahead and have searchings for all of the eternities! Hah!
--->'''Captain Goomba:''' [[ShutUpHannibal I...will...]]'''[[PreAssKickingOneLiner DESTROY YOU!!]]'''

* As clearly said before, '''the ENTIRE GAME''' is one long, HUGE moment of awesome for Captain Goomba himself. He starts off a run-of-the-mill Goomba and Bowser fanboy, and he's thrown in a barrel after losing to the Mario Bros as part of the tutorial battle and he complains about it. Then he's thrown clear of the Koopa Cruiser into a cave in Hoohoo Mountain, and finds a small group of Goombas that he recruits to his cause. They think he's an idiot, but they call him captain just so they don't have to bear the burden. What happens after that? Against the odds, this Goomba squad starts to fight off enemies, and as they get more recruits back, they grow stronger, and ''they get better.'' The kid starts to slip into his role, and from there, he just ''takes off.'' He ''withstands Fawful's brainwashing headgear smoke'', which ''even the '''Koopalings of all minions''' couldn't hold themselves against''. He recruits even ''more'' soldiers, and slowly but surely, this squad starts to turn into an ''army.'' Our upstart Goomba kid leads his growing squad on an entire adventure across the Beanbean Kingdom ''just'' for their leader, Bowser, ''makes ripples and causes major problems for freaking '''Fawful''' of all people'', and '''''turns himself into the captain and leader that NO ONE could have or would have predicted and literally shows the guys who made him the captain that they were RIGHT all along about him being a born leader!''''' Oh, it gets even better. Just when the squad is about to storm Bowser's Castle and take it back, he manages to rally ''all'' of the soldiers back together into Bowser's entire army behind his cause, and just like that, he solidifies the deep respect and admiration of '''''every last soldier and comrade he lead''''', and shows ''just'' who's the captain. And just like that, ''they proceed to haul ass and blow right through Fawful's army all the way to the BigBad himself, and in one last fight to the finish, they TAKE HIM '''DOWN!''''' Yeah that's right, '''he literally ''leads'' the entire army against one of the most powerful Mario villains EVER, and THEY ''WIN!''''' In the end, when all is said and done, Captain Goomba did what no other minor character in the Mario franchise did: he went from a nobody in Bowser's army and became a legend! He also proves manages for the first time '''''ever''''', the Goombas were made into an awesome fighting force capable of going blow-for-blow with ''anyone.'' FridgeBrilliance kicks in when you realize that even they could one-hit KO Mario if he messed up just a bit, so in other words, ''they always had it in them.''

* Any time the Goombas and the squad starts to rally around Captain Goomba for real. Coming from a guy who they only chose to be their captain because they didn't want to do it, when they start to realize how great of a captain he truly is, they start to rally around him, and stay loyal to him, as the squad grows larger. And to think that all of this started with just one [[TheGoomba Goomba]] who was willing to do ''anything'' for his leader, we see just what one man can do all on his own with nothing but determination, character, and just straight-up ''loyalty''. If there was ''ever'' the definition of a true [[TheDeterminator Determinator]] in the Mario series, it would be Captain Goomba without question.

** If you still don't get it, then how about we let this one scene from Joke's End tell you everything? Never before in the ''Mario'' series, no less, has '''one soldier''' managed to rally an entire group of true, unstoppably loyal friends and comrades to pull of something this epic. And after all the hard times that his squad put him through and all the teasing and heckling they gave him, for them to declare their true and undying loyalty and admiration for the one soldier who was willing to everything on the line for their leader speaks all the messages.

** And how about his ultimate, final rallying speech to his soldiers before the final battle? It literally defines who he is as a character in his entirety--a loyal, determined, and humble run-of-the-mill litter boy who's willing to pull off miracles for his friends. And when you consider how for most of the time the soldiers were telling him about all the fancy stuff that comes with being a captain and not the real leadership and character behind it, it makes this quote, where he says he's nothing more than a scrawny run-of-the-mill Goomba, all the more awesome. [[HiddenDepths He doesn't care about all the fancy stuff. He just wants to rescue Bowser and the army and go back home.]]

Those guys are so strong...It makes me SO MAD...Anyway, that will give us the chance to rescue the real Lord Bowser. And this time, we won't fail! We'll be at our king's side before the day is done! I know I'm just a humble Goomba...just a run-of-the-mill Bowser fanboy. At first, I never thought I could be a worthy captain for you fine Minions. But then I met a quiet Shy Guy captain will still waters that run deep...A mischevious Boo captain who's actually quite kind...A Koopa Troopa captain who rhymes for attention but is beyond loyal...The Notorious Koopalings...Private Goomp's Trio...With every new member, the Goomba Squad grew stronger. And so did I! That's how I know we'll be OK. NO ONE can beat this team. Whether we're up against weird machines...or weirder Fawful...Whether it's the green Mario Bro...or even Mario himself...From this moment on, no matter what challenge we face, we WILL prevail! So let's go show the world what we're made of! This is for all the marbles! For our king! (closes his eyes) Yeah! This is for you, Lord Bowser!! (stomps on the ground, ready to fight) GOOMBA SQUAAAD!! CHAAARGE!!!"
** It all shows clearly that Captain Goomba '''is''' the born leader that his soldiers jokingly cracked that he was. And when he proves them all right and shocks them all, it goes to show, he '''is''' a true minion and the most loyal soldier that Bowser could ever have---so much that ''he is able to withstand himself against Fawful's most powerful brainwashing headgear smoke.''

* The whole idea of the game, and screw it, just Captain Goomba himself, can be seen as one. A single Goomba banding all of Bowser's minions together to take back the castle, defeat all of the Koopalings and Fawful and save Bowser. [[spoiler: Ludwig in particular is amazed that one Goomba is able to accomplish so much, all through his loyalty to his master.]] It's no wonder that Captain Goomba gains the respect of his soldiers so easily.
