Bub is also the name of species of fish found in Super Mario 64. For information on the species see Bub (species).
Bub is the name of the spoiled Bob-omb kid in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He's always with his dad Goldbob and his mother Sylvia. Mario first sees him and his parents in Glitzville, then the Excess Express, and lastly at their home in Poshley Heights.
Bub wishes to work on a train when he grows up, possibly as an engineer. His fascination with trains is made obvious when he states that he'd rather have an autograph of the Excess Express's engineer than getting a car, a house, or an encyclopedia set (all three being things his parents thought he wanted).
Despite Bub's overly generous parents and posh upbringing, Bub himself does not possess much money. If the player solves Bub's Trouble (posted at the Trouble Center in Rogueport), Bub rewards the player with his "life's savings", 3 Coins.
