'''Grubba''' is a [[Spike]] wrestling manager and fight promoter at the [[Glitz Pit]] and a major character in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. A champion wrestler and martial artist in his younger days, Grubba retired as a fighter to become [[Glitzville]]'s famous fight promoter when he meets Mario; he claims to be past his prime, yet [[Bandy Andy]] observes him to be in good shape in spite of his years. Initially presented as an uninvolved third party in Mario's battle with the [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]] for the [[Crystal Stars]], Mario eventually discovers that Grubba possesses the [[Gold Star]], and had been using it to drain other fighters of their strength. Grubba is then revealed as a callous egotist underneath, and Mario fights his enhanced alter-ego, [[Macho Grubba]], as the boss of the game's third chapter.

==History==
===Background===
===Background===
By his own account, Grubba was poor in his youth, and did not care for "fancy, big-city ways." He fought his way to becoming a prized martial artist, and in encountering fame and fortune his views began to change. Surviving controversies such as some of his wrestling [[List of special moves|moves]] being made illegal, Grubba became a recognized a champion fighter and earned enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
According to Grubba, in youth, he was poor, but he did not care for "fancy, big-city ways." His worldview changed when he became a martial arts fighter. Though some of his moves were made illegal as he progressed, he became recognized as a champion fighter and earned enough money to survive off of for the rest of his life. At some point, Grubba attained the [[Gold Star]], a [[Crystal Stars|Crystal Star]] with the ability to increase one's power by enabling its possessor to use [[Power Lift]]. The details behind Grubba's ownership of the Star are never explained. [[Wonky]]'s tales present a slightly different account of Grubba's rise, labelling him a "mediocre fighter" until he found the Gold Star.

[[File:PMTTYD Grubba Powers Up.png|thumb|left|200px|Grubba's [[power-draining machine]] allows him to transfer the energy of others to himself.]]


At an unknown point in the past, Grubba attained the [[Gold Star]], one of the legendary seven [[Crystal Stars]] and one with the ability to increase the user's physical power via [[Power Lift]]. Aging and forced to retire, Grubba was content to become a fight promoter at [[Glitzville]], but secretly he harboured a desire to remain fit and powerful, retaining the strength of a champion if only he himself knows it. Grubba began researching into the star to find more potent ways to enhance his strength. He learned how to make a convincing replica of the Gold Star, which he had affixed on the [[Champ's Belt]] of the Glitz Pit.  
Over time, age deteriorates Grubba's ability and he is forced to retire from fighting. However, Grubba opens his own fighting ring, the Glitz Pit and becomes its promoter. The [[Champ's Belt]], the reward for the champion of the Glitz Pit, features an imitation of Grubba's Gold Star. Desiring to regain his fit, youthful body, he develops a [[power-draining machine]] that uses the real Gold Star as a power source, which can transfer power from one person to another. Additionally, the machine makes him appear younger even when not transformed. The relation between these events and the [[Dubious Paper]], a research paper about the powers of the Crystal Stars hidden in the minor-league Glitz Pit locker room at the time of Mario's adventure, are not made clear.


Eventually Grubba's research bore fruit, and he developed a [[power-draining machine]] that harnesses the Gold Star to suck the might out of fighters, in order to bestow it onto another. Grubba proceeded to abuse his trusted authority as the arena's promoter to lure promising fighters to the machine, where he drained their essence and used it to grant himself unnatural youth and longevity. He even learnt to power himself up with a surge of power more dramatic than the standard Power Lift , resulting in his transforming into [[Macho Grubba]].
To support his poor family, [[Prince Mush]] enters the Glitz Pit as a fighter and becomes its first champion. When Mush discovers Grubba's secret, Grubba sucks his power away from him, providing no explanation of Mush's sudden disappearance to the public. Afterward, Grubba hires a manager, [[Jolene]], who secretly takes the job to discover what really happened to Prince Mush, her little brother. On one occasion, Jolene witnesses his transformation into [[Macho Grubba]], where she loses hope to avenge the loss of her brother.
 
The earliest known victim of Grubba's machine is [[Prince Mush]], a [[Toad]] fighter who entered the Glitz Pit as a poor fighter looking to support his family and rose to become its first champion. A huge fan favorite, Mush was distrusted by Grubba - in his words, "Good fighters ain't nothin' to mess with." Mush discovered Grubba's secret, and Grubbba successfully drained the power out of him, absorbing his body into the machine itself. Mush's disappearance went unexplained to the public and entered the circle of mysteries surrounding the Glitz Pit. Sometime afterward, Grubba hired a manager and assistant, [[Jolene]] - in truth, Jolene is Prince Mush's older sister and took the job to look into her brother's disappearance. Grubba continued to use the machine regardless, and on one occasion Jolene secretly witnessed his transformation into Macho Grubba. Knowing the monstrous enemy she faces, Jolene lost nearly all hope for her brother's vengeance. Grubba proceeds to drain a large, unknown number of Glitz Pit fighters over the years with his machine, becoming a matter of frequent routine in his doings as the ring's promoter.

Mario and his partners travel to Glitzville as the third location on their quest for the seven Crystal Stars, in order to save [[Princess Peach]] from the X-Nauts. The [[Magical Map]] detects the Gold Star in Grubba's possession and points them to Glitzville. Mario witnesses the Glitz Pit's champion [[Rawk Hawk]] shortly after arriving, and sees the fake Gold Star on his Champ's Belt. The group decide to enter the fighting arena with the intention of winning the belt and extracting the star. Jolene introduces them to Grubba, who signs them as a Glitz Pit fighting team under the ring name, "The Great Gonzales." Mario advances swiftly through the minor leagues, befriending [[KP Pete]] and [[Bandy Andy]] among other fighters and learning some of the Seven Secrets of the Pit. Towards the end of Mario's minor league run, KP Pete stumbles across Grubba using his machine while looking to announce his retirement. Grubba absorbs most of his energy, and hides his crumpled body on the isolated second floor storage room shortly thereafter. KP Pete is the fifth fighter Grubba had drained that year.
Mario and his partners arrive in Glitzville to meet Grubba after the [[Magical Map]] detects Grubba's Crystal Star, which is the third Crystal Star they need. Seeing the supposed Gold Star on the Champ's Belt, Mario meets with Grubba to become a Glitz Pit fighter. Grubba agrees to the proposition and gives him the ring name, "The Great Gonzales." Shortly after Mario advances through the minor leagues, [[King K]] walks in on Grubba using his machine and Grubba absorbs his energy, hiding him in the second floor storage room shortly after.

Seeing Mario's progress and determined investigation, Jolene begins to regain hope in her abandoned mission, believing that he might be able to defeat Grubba. She begins sending Mario pseudonymous messages under the pen name "X", leading him to find useful items and uncover secrets of the pits. She has Mario break a wall in the minor league locker room and uncover the [[Dubious Paper]], containing Grubba's early research into the Gold Star - Jolene arrives in person and quickly confiscates the paper. Meanwhile, pleased with Mario's ring performance, Grubba invites him into his office to receive a thirty [[coin]] bonus and welcome him to the major-league. While arriving with Jolene, Mario and his party witness Grubba reading something before quickly hiding it in his drawer, leading him to berate Jolene for not knocking. Jolene then takes Mario and his party to the major-league locker room, where they meet Rawk Hawk again. Taking a closer inspection during this confrontation, the group determines that belt star is a fake. The group is at a loss, but Jolene overhears their discussion, and sends them another "X" email promising them the location of the real Crystal Star.
Pleased with Mario's performance, Grubba invites him into his office to give him a thirty [[coin]] bonus and welcome him to the major-league. When Jolene, escorting Mario and his party, enters, Grubba is looking at something and quickly hides it in his drawer, berating Jolene for not knocking. Jolene then takes Mario and his party to the major-league locker room, where they meet Rawk Hawk and determine that the star on the Champ's Belt is a fake. Allegedly hearing their discussion, Jolene, under the pseudonym "X," sends Mario an e-mail promising to lead him to the real Crystal Star.


Grubba meanwhile has begun to grow suspicious of Mario and Jolene. Realising that the Dubious Paper has been found, he sends Mario a threatening anonymous e-mail. The party disregards the warning and Mario continues to search. It's around this time that [[Bandy Andy]] sneaks into the arena when he believes its empty, and also witnesses Grubba's transformation. Grubba shortly his energy too and hides him along with KP Pete.
After Mario finds the Dubious Paper in the minor league locker room, Grubba grows suspicious and sends him a threatening, anonymous e-mail. Around this time, [[Bandy Andy]] goes into the arena when no one seems to be around and witnesses Grubba's transformation. As with King K, Grubba drains his energy after catching Bandy Andy and hides him along with King K.


Mario and the party continue to follow Jolene's X-instructions, which leads them to overhear her and Grubba discussing reports of noises in the storage room (in reality the groans of the drained fighters). Jolene reports that nothing was found, and Grubba feigns ignorance and suspicion. He uses this as a pretext to bring up her own lengthy disappearances, asking her where she goes and why, and even presses her for knowledge on the Crystal Star, but she gives him satisfactory explanations. Shortly after, Grubba quickly sends another e-mail to Mario, warning him not to pry into matters concerning the Crystal Star lest he meet the same fate as the other missing fighters. Mario investigates the storage room himself not long after, discovering the hidden staircase to the sealed-off second floor and finding the drained KP Pete and Bandy Andy.
Mario and his partners follow Jolene's instructions and witness her and Grubba having a conversation. Jolene reports to Grubba that no one was found in the storage room when the noises were heard, but Grubba remains suspicious. He asks her where she went when she disappeared for long periods of time and whether or not she has ever heard of a Crystal Star, where she responds with satisfactory answers. However, Grubba quickly sends an e-mail to Mario, warning him not to pry into matters concerning the Crystal Star lest he meet the same fate as the other missing fighters. Shortly after, Mario discovers King K and Bandy Andy in the storeroom.

Mario eventually clears the major league and defeats Rawk Hawk for the title of champion. The party gains access to the champion's room, where they are clued via an X email to an airduct leading direction to Grubba's office. They spy on Grubba while he muses over his secret machine outloud, examining the blueprints and asking himself whether or not he should make Mario "disappear" next. Grubba stashes his design in the draw and leaves his office, and the group leave the airvent to examine the draw - but Grubba unexpectedly returns to find Mario with the blueprints in hand.
After becoming the champion, Mario gains access to the champion's room and uses its location to spy on Grubba, regarding to Jolene's anonymous advice. Grubba is, at that moment, talking to himself regarding his secret machine, the missing fighters, and whether or not he should make Mario "disappear". Hiding the machine's blueprints in his desk, Grubba leaves his office for a minute and returns to find Mario and his partner inspecting the secret blueprints for the machine.

Shocked, Grubba flees immediately to his machine in the empty arena, closely followed by Mario and his party. Furious with Mario for his meddling, Grubba quickly activates his machine and transforms into Macho Grubba, confident that he will be able to defeat the champion. Macho Grubba is ultimately defeated by Mario and transforms back into his normal form. Dazed on the floor, Grubba compliments Mario on his technique as Jolene rushes into the ring. She thanks Mario for his efforts and explains her involvement in the affair. Jolene turns to Grubba and demands information on Prince Mush's fate. Grubba confesses to his crime, and Mario and the party move to extract the Gold Star from the machine. But before it is removed, the star restores Prince Mush to life. Grubba's final fate is unknown, as neither Jolene nor the party discuss what to do with him and he isn't seen again after his defeat. Jolene takes over Grubba's position as the fight promoter of the Glitz Pit. Both Bandy Andy and KP Pete recover and return to fighting.  
Hastily, Grubba flees to his machine in the arena, closely followed by Mario and his party, where he transforms into Macho Grubba. Mario then defeats Macho Grubba, and he transforms back into his normal form, where he compliments Mario on the fight. Jolene rushes to the ring, thanking Mario for his efforts and explaining her actions and motivations to him. Jolene demands that he tell her what happened to Prince Mush, where Grubba confesses.
 
The Gold Star uses its power to restore Jolene's brother before it is removed from the machine. Grubba's machine deactivates and Jolene gives Mario the Gold Star in order that the events will not be repeated. Jolene takes over Grubba's position as the promoter of the Glitz Pit. Both Bandy Andy and King K recover. Grubba claims that four fighters have disappeared before King K that year alone. However, the total number of fighters drained by Grubba, as well as his whereabouts following his defeat, is unknown.

==Duties as owner of the Glitz Pit==
[[File:ChampionshipBattle.png|thumb|200px|Grubba in the ring with [[Rawk Hawk]] and Mario, ready to announce the Championship fight.]]
Grubba is the owner and fight promoter of the [[Glitz Pit]], and is responsible for its successful operation as a business. Grubba hires Jolene as a manager to help take care of his duties. Grubba runs a staff of hires ten [[Glitz Pit Security|guards]] to monitor backstage areas of the arena, each assigned to watch over a crucial room. Grubba spends much of his time in his office, where he meets with new and promising fighters in person, coordinates with Jolene and speaks to fighters preparing for a match in their locker rooms via intercome — when alone, Grubba consults his secret designs kept in his desk draw. Grubba's affable and charismatic persona proves vital in convincing fighters to sign on, as well as imparting the gimmick or limitation they must respect in each fight in order to climb a rank, such as asking [[Sir Swoop]] to "do a triple flip and meow" in his initial match. Grubba also double-duties as the referee and announcer of the Pit, appearing in the ring at every fight to hype up the match to the audience and to declare the winner at its conclusion.
Jolene takes over all of these managerial duties after Macho Grubba's defeat.
===Fighting orders===
Below is a list of the various orders Grubba gives [[Mario]] during his time at the Glitz Pit. Mario and the party are only able to increase their rank in the pit if they win a fight while following an order; if they win but fail to maintain the gimmick, or lose but keep it up, they remain in place and fight the same opponent again. If the party loses AND fails to keep the order, they are forced to fight a lower-ranked fighter, and can be forced down a rank if they lose that match. Most of the time the order will be chosen via random number generation, a process open to save & load manipulation).For Mario's first battle, the order is preset to appeal to the crowd at least once.<ref>Malleoz et al (March 2, 2014).

{{main|Macho Grubba}}
As a young fighter, Grubba claims to have had many powerful moves, some of which were made illegal after he used them. As [[Macho Grubba]], Grubba wields a range of standard wrestling moves, including clotheslines and slams.
When he was younger, Grubba claimed to have had many powerful moves, some of which were made illegal after he used them. However, by the time he encounters Mario, Grubba has lost his ability to fight without the aid of his machine. To fight his enemies, Grubba is forced to use the machine to transform into Macho Grubba. In that form, he has many attacks.


===Physical appearance===
===Physical appearance===
Clubba has the standard physical features of his specias, a Clubba, but with an unusual blue colour scheme that overtly resembles [[Tubba Blubba]], the giant Clubba boss of the third chapter of ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Like Tubba, Grubba has pale blue skin, a purple shell with yellow trim and fiery orange hair, and also like Tubba he carries no mace. Grubba's lips are large and orange like the rest of his species. He is the only known Clubba to ever wear clothing; a green waistcoat and jacket, small round sunglasses and a trilby. Grubba loses the trilby and waistcoat on becoming Macho Grubba, and the jacket only barely fits his increased size.
Though he is a Spike, Grubba does not have all of the normal physical features of one; rather, he bears a slight resemblance to [[Tubba Blubba]] from the original ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Unlike most Spikes, whose skin is green, Grubba has a pale blue shade of skin. His shell is orchid in color, with a yellow rim and is hair is a fiery orange color; these features too are unlike [[Clubba]]s, which bear whitish-colored hair and different colored shells. Grubba's lips are very large and orange in color. He is also the only Spike ever seen to wear clothes.


===Personality===
===Personality===
On the surface, Grubba is a charming promoter, balancing a good-natured humour and Texan speech patterns with professionalism towards his job. Beneath that, he is ruthless and self-absorbed, willing to destroy others lives purely to sustain his vain self-image as a strongman. [[Goombella]] is able to see through Grubba on their first meeting, describing him as a "super-greasy smooth talker" and not necessarily trustworthy. The young Grubba was seduced by the glamour of fame and championship, and on discovering the Gold Star's powers he began his mad actions to keep himself important. A shrewd businessman, Grubba was naturally paranoid about his secrets being uncovered, and took lengthy measures to cover his tracks. Several fighters, including the three known examples of Prince Mush, KP Pete and Bandy Andy, were all drained by Grubba chiefly to silence them after stumbling on his secret.
Grubba creates a good-natured facade to mask and distract his concealed motivations that benefit himself at the expense of others. While on public and promoting the Glitz Pit, Grubba shows his public image: friendly and passionate about his life's work. ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' hints that Grubba's obsession with his image develops as a result of his fame. Originally, he had not cared about glitz and glamor, though later in life, Grubba feels nostalgic about what he once was and wants to relive those days, despite the costs. Despite this emotional transformation, Grubba retains an air of good sportsmanship throughout his life. Grubba encourages his fighters and did not mask his excitement for rising stars such as Mario. Even as he lay defeated, he commends Mario for a good fight. Due to the unethical use of the power-draining machine, this causes Grubba to keep the usage a secret and he uses the machine to his advantage to continue keeping it concealed. As [[Goombella]] realizes as soon as she met Grubba, he is a "super-greasy smooth talker" and not necessarily trustworthy, even while he maintains his facade. The text in the dialogue box hints at his possessing a heavy southern accent.


In spite of this aspect of his character, Grubba's first love was ultimately the sportsmanship of prizefighting and wreslting. Grubba's encouragement of his fighters as the Glitz Pit's promoter stemmed from genuine enthusiasm, and his excitement for rising stars such as Mario was authentic. Defeated by Mario while in his strongest state, Grubba only commends his defeater on his martial prowess.
Grubba also has a tendency to gossip or possibly make trash talking comments that he attributes to other fighters even if they never actually said such a thing. However, he has at least some respect for strong fighters, congratulating Mario when he defeats him.
 
Grubba attempts to exude an air of compassion and enthusiasm towards his fighters and staff. As evidenced in his relationship with Mario, Grubba is capable of developing friendships with those who did not know his secrets, but ultimately his intentions come into question. As [[Goombella]] realizes as soon as she met Grubba, he is a "super-greasy smooth talker" and not necessarily trustworthy, even while he maintains his facade.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Grubb and [[Tubba Blubba]] from [[Paper Mario]] share many similarity. Beyond the aforementioned shared species and appearances, both characters serve as the third chapter boss fight of their respective game. In his Macho Grubba form, Grubba shares the huge size, large powerful arms and spiked shell of Tubba Blubba. Both characters consume or absorb part or all of innocent bystanders - Tubba eats the ghosts of [[Gusty Gulch]], and Grubba absorbs his fighter's strength and even makes Prince Mush disappear into his machine altogether. both antagonistic Clubbas guard a dangerous secret key to their fighting strength
*There is a similarity between [[Tubba Blubba]] and Grubba. Both of them look similar to each other, both have blue skin color, and both are Chapter 3 bosses. Both of their English names are based on [[Clubba]]s rather than [[Spike]]s, although neither of them are club-wielding soldiers. Also, both have spikes on their shell (Grubba only gains spikes as Macho Grubba however). Lastly, they both have a well-guarded secret to their "invincibility".
*The [[Stone Spike]]s in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' resemble Grubba.
*Grubba is the only chapter villain who uses the Crystal Star's special, the [[Power Lift]]. All other chapter villains either possess a Crystal Star, but never use it, or simply obstruct the path to it.
*Grubba is the first in a string of three chapter villains in The Thousand Year door to work independently of the X-Nauts, Shadow Sirens or Shadow Queen, followed by [[Doopliss]] and ending with [[Cortez]]. Of the three, Grubba is the only one to have no contact with any of them - Doopliss being later recruited into the Sirens and Cortex personally fighting Lord Crump's armada.
*Grubba is the only chapter villain who directly uses his Crystal Star in the same manner as Mario and the Party, boosting his own stats in the same vein as the [[Power Lift]] special. All other chapter villains either possess a Crystal Star but never use it (Hooktail and Magnus Von Grapple) or only indirectly use it (Doopliss enhances his shape-altering magic with the art aspect of the Ruby Star to transform others into pigs and steal Mario's identity, and Cortez remains a powerful ghost long after his death due to the Sapphire Star's health properties), or simply obstruct the path to it (Smorg).

—Grubba, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Grubba is a Spike wrestling manager and fight promoter at the Glitz Pit and a major character in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. A champion wrestler and martial artist in his younger days, Grubba retired as a fighter to become Glitzville's famous fight promoter when he meets Mario; he claims to be past his prime, yet Bandy Andy observes him to be in good shape in spite of his years. Initially presented as an uninvolved third party in Mario's battle with the X-Nauts for the Crystal Stars, Mario eventually discovers that Grubba possesses the Gold Star, and had been using it to drain other fighters of their strength. Grubba is then revealed as a callous egotist underneath, and Mario fights his enhanced alter-ego, Macho Grubba, as the boss of the game's third chapter.

History

Background

According to Grubba, in youth, he was poor, but he did not care for "fancy, big-city ways." His worldview changed when he became a martial arts fighter. Though some of his moves were made illegal as he progressed, he became recognized as a champion fighter and earned enough money to survive off of for the rest of his life. At some point, Grubba attained the Gold Star, a Crystal Star with the ability to increase one's power by enabling its possessor to use Power Lift. The details behind Grubba's ownership of the Star are never explained. Wonky's tales present a slightly different account of Grubba's rise, labelling him a "mediocre fighter" until he found the Gold Star.

Grubba uses his power draining machine before his fight with Mario.
Grubba's power-draining machine allows him to transfer the energy of others to himself.

Over time, age deteriorates Grubba's ability and he is forced to retire from fighting. However, Grubba opens his own fighting ring, the Glitz Pit and becomes its promoter. The Champ's Belt, the reward for the champion of the Glitz Pit, features an imitation of Grubba's Gold Star. Desiring to regain his fit, youthful body, he develops a power-draining machine that uses the real Gold Star as a power source, which can transfer power from one person to another. Additionally, the machine makes him appear younger even when not transformed. The relation between these events and the Dubious Paper, a research paper about the powers of the Crystal Stars hidden in the minor-league Glitz Pit locker room at the time of Mario's adventure, are not made clear.

To support his poor family, Prince Mush enters the Glitz Pit as a fighter and becomes its first champion. When Mush discovers Grubba's secret, Grubba sucks his power away from him, providing no explanation of Mush's sudden disappearance to the public. Afterward, Grubba hires a manager, Jolene, who secretly takes the job to discover what really happened to Prince Mush, her little brother. On one occasion, Jolene witnesses his transformation into Macho Grubba, where she loses hope to avenge the loss of her brother.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Grubba meeting Mario
Grubba and his manager, Jolene, meet Mario.

Mario and his partners arrive in Glitzville to meet Grubba after the Magical Map detects Grubba's Crystal Star, which is the third Crystal Star they need. Seeing the supposed Gold Star on the Champ's Belt, Mario meets with Grubba to become a Glitz Pit fighter. Grubba agrees to the proposition and gives him the ring name, "The Great Gonzales." Shortly after Mario advances through the minor leagues, King K walks in on Grubba using his machine and Grubba absorbs his energy, hiding him in the second floor storage room shortly after.

Grubba viewing his secret paper before Jolene and Mario come into his office.

Pleased with Mario's performance, Grubba invites him into his office to give him a thirty coin bonus and welcome him to the major-league. When Jolene, escorting Mario and his party, enters, Grubba is looking at something and quickly hides it in his drawer, berating Jolene for not knocking. Jolene then takes Mario and his party to the major-league locker room, where they meet Rawk Hawk and determine that the star on the Champ's Belt is a fake. Allegedly hearing their discussion, Jolene, under the pseudonym "X," sends Mario an e-mail promising to lead him to the real Crystal Star.

After Mario finds the Dubious Paper in the minor league locker room, Grubba grows suspicious and sends him a threatening, anonymous e-mail. Around this time, Bandy Andy goes into the arena when no one seems to be around and witnesses Grubba's transformation. As with King K, Grubba drains his energy after catching Bandy Andy and hides him along with King K.

Mario and his partners follow Jolene's instructions and witness her and Grubba having a conversation. Jolene reports to Grubba that no one was found in the storage room when the noises were heard, but Grubba remains suspicious. He asks her where she went when she disappeared for long periods of time and whether or not she has ever heard of a Crystal Star, where she responds with satisfactory answers. However, Grubba quickly sends an e-mail to Mario, warning him not to pry into matters concerning the Crystal Star lest he meet the same fate as the other missing fighters. Shortly after, Mario discovers King K and Bandy Andy in the storeroom.

After becoming the champion, Mario gains access to the champion's room and uses its location to spy on Grubba, regarding to Jolene's anonymous advice. Grubba is, at that moment, talking to himself regarding his secret machine, the missing fighters, and whether or not he should make Mario "disappear". Hiding the machine's blueprints in his desk, Grubba leaves his office for a minute and returns to find Mario and his partner inspecting the secret blueprints for the machine.

Grubba after being defeated by Mario and co.

Hastily, Grubba flees to his machine in the arena, closely followed by Mario and his party, where he transforms into Macho Grubba. Mario then defeats Macho Grubba, and he transforms back into his normal form, where he compliments Mario on the fight. Jolene rushes to the ring, thanking Mario for his efforts and explaining her actions and motivations to him. Jolene demands that he tell her what happened to Prince Mush, where Grubba confesses.

The Gold Star uses its power to restore Jolene's brother before it is removed from the machine. Grubba's machine deactivates and Jolene gives Mario the Gold Star in order that the events will not be repeated. Jolene takes over Grubba's position as the promoter of the Glitz Pit. Both Bandy Andy and King K recover. Grubba claims that four fighters have disappeared before King K that year alone. However, the total number of fighters drained by Grubba, as well as his whereabouts following his defeat, is unknown.

Character description

Abilities

Main article: Macho Grubba

When he was younger, Grubba claimed to have had many powerful moves, some of which were made illegal after he used them. However, by the time he encounters Mario, Grubba has lost his ability to fight without the aid of his machine. To fight his enemies, Grubba is forced to use the machine to transform into Macho Grubba. In that form, he has many attacks.

Physical appearance

Though he is a Spike, Grubba does not have all of the normal physical features of one; rather, he bears a slight resemblance to Tubba Blubba from the original Paper Mario. Unlike most Spikes, whose skin is green, Grubba has a pale blue shade of skin. His shell is orchid in color, with a yellow rim and is hair is a fiery orange color; these features too are unlike Clubbas, which bear whitish-colored hair and different colored shells. Grubba's lips are very large and orange in color. He is also the only Spike ever seen to wear clothes.

Personality

Grubba creates a good-natured facade to mask and distract his concealed motivations that benefit himself at the expense of others. While on public and promoting the Glitz Pit, Grubba shows his public image: friendly and passionate about his life's work. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door hints that Grubba's obsession with his image develops as a result of his fame. Originally, he had not cared about glitz and glamor, though later in life, Grubba feels nostalgic about what he once was and wants to relive those days, despite the costs. Despite this emotional transformation, Grubba retains an air of good sportsmanship throughout his life. Grubba encourages his fighters and did not mask his excitement for rising stars such as Mario. Even as he lay defeated, he commends Mario for a good fight. Due to the unethical use of the power-draining machine, this causes Grubba to keep the usage a secret and he uses the machine to his advantage to continue keeping it concealed. As Goombella realizes as soon as she met Grubba, he is a "super-greasy smooth talker" and not necessarily trustworthy, even while he maintains his facade. The text in the dialogue box hints at his possessing a heavy southern accent.

Grubba also has a tendency to gossip or possibly make trash talking comments that he attributes to other fighters even if they never actually said such a thing. However, he has at least some respect for strong fighters, congratulating Mario when he defeats him.

Tattle Log #:
103 		Log Macho Grubba has the confidence to match his muscles after being powered up by the Crystal Star
Tattle That's Macho Grubba. He's Grubba all souped-up on Crystal Star power. Max HP is 60, Attack is 4, and Defense is 0. His attack pattern is simple: first he increases the number of times he can attack… Then he powers himself up with all sorts of crazy, power-uppy moves. So, it's pretty important to pay close attention to how he's powered himself up. The craziest thing about this musclehead is that he used to be that chubby Grubba. I guess the Crystal Stars really ARE powerful!

Field Tattle

Outside of battle, Goombella can use Tattle on Grubba only when Mario declines to sign the contract to become a Glitz Pit fighter.

  • "That's Grubba, the Glitz Pit promoter. He talks a good game... a little TOO good. Then again, I guess promoters kinda HAVE to be super-greasy smooth talkers. Besides, it doesn't matter if he's trustworthy. We have to deal with him to be champs."

Trivia

  • There is a similarity between Tubba Blubba and Grubba. Both of them look similar to each other, both have blue skin color, and both are Chapter 3 bosses. Both of their English names are based on Clubbas rather than Spikes, although neither of them are club-wielding soldiers. Also, both have spikes on their shell (Grubba only gains spikes as Macho Grubba however). Lastly, they both have a well-guarded secret to their "invincibility".
  • Grubba is the only chapter villain who uses the Crystal Star's special, the Power Lift. All other chapter villains either possess a Crystal Star, but never use it, or simply obstruct the path to it.
