Default Engine weak, erratic rpm, misfire

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! my girl's pos mini is taking a dump so i finaly get to trash the damn thing! Not, she wants this thing fixed and I have no idea what engineers did after the 80's so im lost. I know the engine has a misfire due too fouled up spark plugs and the rough idle. Havent done a compression test cause im sure it does have a bad head gasket. In the past id see for brief moments a decent amount of white smoke come from the exhaust then stop. It also burns through oil like fuel, didnt know if that was just its personality or bad rear main. Now it likes to idle around 2000 to 2500 rpm and dosnt actualy pick up speed unless reves to 4000 rpm. It has no power going up hill and will rerfuse to gain any speed until on flat surface. going down hill it has no problems and it seems to not know when to shift gears either. IM LOST!
