Despite being one of the more low key villains in the game, he was quite effective given just how sinister he was. That chapter was one of the darker ones in the game purely because of him and what he does, and kind of has this murder mystery vibe that's actually quite compelling. Just the way he drains people for his own personal gain and covers it up makes him one of the darker villains of the game. Sometimes a comparatively smaller villain in something is substantially more effective given the way the piece of media will amplify it, and I thought it was done pretty well in that regard.
It's one of those parts of a game where you need to play it twice to understand all of the things that make it so good. Best chapter imo, that or chapter 5.

Nick Diggers This is personally one of my favorite Mario games both story and gameplay wise and every boss in its own way is sinister Except 6 which is humorous to take away from how sinister the rest are. Chapter 1 Hooktail is eating the citizens of petalberg, Chapter 2 lord crump is capturing the residents of that tree (cant remember the name) Chapter 4 your identity is stolen and your partners have no idea, chapter 5 the spirits of the dead haunt your ship presumably because they died out in sea. Chapter 7 you face lord crump again basically killing TEC, (even though you can go back and see him somehow which was kinda weak :/) And finally in the thousand year door The Shadow queen needs a pure being (The sacrificial virgin :p)
Nick Diggers SOrry for reviving a dead post, but it's certainly worth noting that he's also the only Villain in the game that actually (successfully)uses the power of a crystal star for his own nefarious purposes.
Damn, Whenever I listen to this I remember when I first played through it, everyone else in the house were asleep, and I had still only been aged nearly 6 years the lead up to this and the music made me tremble in awe to the point where "stylish" hits were almost impossible, I cried half happily when I beat him, because of the story and because of how I ran on adrenaline fighting the boss in legitimate fear and awe... truly brings back good memories
This song fits so perfectly it hurts, manages to combine the stylish "pit fight" vibe of the Glitz Pit with intimidating and tense elements because the stakes for this fight are really high relative to the fun, more laid back tone of most of Chapter 3.
tubba blubba is which i call a collosal clubba, which are like the alphamale of clubbas like bowser which i call a royal koopa, which are the alphamale of koopas
"These moves were outlawed back in my days, Gonzalez!" Towards the end of the battle... "Good fi...i..g-g-go-g...g..grEaT...g-g-G-GonZalEZ...Hurrnnggh..."
New Paper Mario for WiiU, made with as much love and care as this one. One that goes back to everything that makes TTYD the absolute best in my eyes, without the gimmicks that ruined Sticker Star or the dramatic gameplay change that hurt Super (although I still like SPM) Please Nintendo. Please!
Willy Larson Other m GAMEPLAY was good its just the story/narrative was shit. They should have left samus a mysterious bounty hunter, not this chick bowing to that guy all "i wont use my weapons unless u give me permission" and shit
@@MorbidAnimosity I would say decent, not good. It was pretty shallow compared to other similar games and almost completely lacked Metroid's exploration elements.
I'd honestly love to know what happened to Grubba after the events of TTYD. He was such a sinister, threatening villain, and I don't know about you guys, but I never expected him to be the bad guy of the chapter early on. I'd like to see him come back in a future game personally, since his story feels so incomplete. In fact, much of TTYD feels that way, which is why Nintendo really would have a lot of great things to expand on if they wanted to. It really disappoints me that they haven't.
He either died or was arrested presumably. How was much of TTYD's story incomplete? Most of the chapter antagonists don't require any relevance after their own one. Lord Crump in chapter 2 and 7 is a recurring enemy. Hooktail dies. Cortez becomes a buddy with you. Grubba dies/is arrested, (without Crystal Star power he's a normal guy who can't do shit.) Doopliss ends up being recruited by the Shadow Sirens in Vivian's place So that really leaves Smorg, who was very much a wtf boss (though not even the one that was holding the Crystal Star.)
Personally, when I first saw him, I never thought of him as a boss, since there was no reason to believe Rawk *wouldn't* be the boss at that point (He had the star on his belt, I figured we would beat him, become the champion and just grab the star from the belt). I still thought he was a bad guy, in the "skeevy fight club organizer" kind of way. I'm glad we got to fight him because the whole chapter I wanted to just beat him up
@dottedboy yeah, although the first time playing thru, u dont have any clue that grubba is the chapter villain until the end, but tubba blubba is mentioned constantly
I think it's my favourite "surprise" game. I bought it when it was released, because my fav' mag noted it 9/10,without being really attracted by the game. Finally i LOVE this game, second RPG,after Golden Sun, and actually it's probably my best gamecube game.
This was my first ever GC game and man I played it. At the time I didn't have a memory card and had to keep starting from the start. But now I beat it about 6 times, and this will always be one of my favorite games, right up there with EarthBound and Sonic Adventure.
The ampunt of times i've copied data on Nintendo games to new files just before bosses, just to hear their awesome themes..... this. was the most commonly played. Epic soundtrack to 1 of the weirdest games ever made, which surprisingly was utterly epic too.
Another thing needed to point for Vivian and Koops is just why the Hell Veil is preferred over Shell Shield. There's a reason for it to cost too many Flowers; damage that goes beyond the shell's HP does not stack onto Mario, therefore you can completely waste a charged attack, and even evading a charged attack underground provides that you're willing to get hit with whatever the opponent chooses to spike you with on their extra turn. And you could have just had that very turn with thy god Koopa.
Right? I agree! I still play Pokemon red and all the other versions after 12 years and all my other childhood games I have (Kirby, Mario, Kingdom Hearts, Zelda). Although I play the new games that come out, the classics are always the best XDD
note mis.mowz is a playable char its were the mission board is there will be one for her she needs a badge and stuff u know its up in hook tails castle were the boss room is also the power up gem for partners is the were u get the black key
Well that can really be said for any boss battle. My most hated for instance is Doopliss. He has been turning innocent villagers into pigs just for the laughs, he refuses to accept defeat and cheats by taking over your body. He decieves your partners into fighting against you. He makes you realise how weak you are without your partners, and you wanted to kick his ass and get the partners you had grown attached to back.
You gotta admit though, Grubba had charisma. He had that Nintendo charm that so many of the friendly NPCs had. They never once let slip that Grubba was evil, until the moment of truth.
I love this game... beat it several times. When I first played this, it was so amazing! Every chapter had some other surprises, and although they all had some boring and long parts, they were all great! My favourite single player gamecube game!
Actually, in a sense, All the crystal stars have something to do with thier boss: Diamond: Hooktail is giant and stomps on you Emerald: Crump uses a timer to blow up the tree Topaz: As you said, powers up Ruby: Doopliss's power to change anything is similar to how art transforms things Sapphire: Cortez constantly revives himself during battle, though the Star heals a lot. Garnet: The real one is hidden, otherwise stopping normal adventures. Crystal: The X-nauts unleash lots of power.
This was such an awesome game!!!!!!!!! I remember playing it for the first time and being amazed at how epic and awesome a mario RPG was (this was my first mario RPG) it made me get into the series and ive played all the paper marios lol they're all awesome but IMO this was the best one!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know why but Jolene and X scared the crap out of me. Just that eerie e-mail I'd always get and Jolene catching me when I was sneaking around. And the WORSt part was when I entered the Storage Room. I thought she was going to be in there or something...
Honestly this game is among the best of best RPGs. If you're looking for a game with a solid battle system, an extremely good overworld to explore, and a great storyline/characters, it's very difficult to beat this game. Probably its only real downfall is being on the easy side, but I can't think of any other RPG that comes close in terms of how well the mechanics were designed.
Otacon: His HP stands at an incredible 60, his attack is 4, his defense is 0. When he's exhausted, he'll make himself harder to hit using an ancient reality bending technique. Snake: Hmm. No wonder he was the champion. But those tricks of his don't make him invincible in any case. Otacon: Right you are, Snake. All right, go get him. I'm rooting for you.
That would be a good idea. Like maybe in hard mode, every Goomba would be a Gloomba, every Wizzerd would be an Elite Wizzerd, every Crayzee Dayzee would be a Legendary Amazy Dayzee, etc. That would be cool!

MACHO GRUBBA (more like nacho grubba)
I always pictured a great voice for Grubba, if they were to ever add voices, would be King Dedede's voice from Kirby Right Back At Ya. XD
Monchan nah mate it's the game grumps voice for gim
"I need summin t'a clobbah dat Gonzales!"
I did that too lmfao
Ok. Arin's voice from the grump playthrough has been beaten.
This chapter really scared me as a kid, going into the air vents and spying on Grubba was creepy.
the entire chapter was creepy as hell
Damn, Whenever I listen to this I remember when I first played through it, everyone else in the house were asleep, and I had still only been aged nearly 6 years the lead up to this and the music made me tremble in awe to the point where "stylish" hits were almost impossible, I cried half happily when I beat him, because of the story and because of how I ran on adrenaline fighting the boss in legitimate fear and awe... truly brings back good memories
For real. This track was pretty unusual from the previous themes in the game, it instantly grabbed my attention. It's just so menacing.
IT'S ME MARIO! IT'S ME MARIO! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG MARIO!
YOU ALL BOUGHT IT! YOU ALL BOUGHT IT, HOOK, LINE, AND SINKER!
AW SON OF A CHAIN CHOMP
I love both of you for this
wtf is a sonic!
the wwe fan in me cries with happiness at this..
In light of this chapter of the game, Grubba kind of comes across as the "Don King" of the Mario universe.
They had to make some of his moves illegal back in his day!
"NOBODY CALLS ME TUBBY"
Huh, this sounds like it could fit into a Metroid Prime boss fight.
+Cyyberslam8 its a remix of a prime sound track. i think against the parasite queen not sure.
i think it sounds more like earthbound
This song fits so perfectly it hurts, manages to combine the stylish "pit fight" vibe of the Glitz Pit with intimidating and tense elements because the stakes for this fight are really high relative to the fun, more laid back tone of most of Chapter 3.
Can't believe he used the Crystal Star to kill King K, Bandy Andy and even Prince Mush!
He didn't kill them. He used the crystal star to drain their energy.
Theyellowflash6 yeah but we didn't know that when we all first played the game....
And trap them in the crystal star. Reminds me of that one teen titans villain. @$$holes. both of em.
Muuuuuuuuuscle up!
tubba blubba is which i call a collosal clubba, which are like the alphamale of clubbas
like bowser which i call a royal koopa, which are the alphamale of koopas
Best song in the game
"These moves were outlawed back in my days, Gonzalez!"
Towards the end of the battle...
"Good fi...i..g-g-go-g...g..grEaT...g-g-G-GonZalEZ...Hurrnnggh..."

i... would take.... Metroid other M type changes.... to sticker star....

😕
@@MorbidAnimosity I would say decent, not good. It was pretty shallow compared to other similar games and almost completely lacked Metroid's exploration elements.
This music makes me all powerful against enemies, including tests, homework and school.
Fight sequence, BGM, story all flawlessly executed. An amazing game and a particularly memorable moment from the 2nd Paper Mario
Now in HD on Switch
bought it
played it
waited
waited some more
still waiting
listened to music on youtube
SO GOOD AND GOLDEN! 😎😎😎😎😎😍😍😍😍😍😁😁😁😁😁😭😭😭😭😭🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of the few games in which I like all of the boss music. Usually there is something that is wrong, but Paper Mario is awesome!

BassTrombone95 I think he died
He either died or was arrested presumably.
How was much of TTYD's story incomplete? Most of the chapter antagonists don't require any relevance after their own one.
Lord Crump in chapter 2 and 7 is a recurring enemy.
Hooktail dies.
Cortez becomes a buddy with you.
Grubba dies/is arrested, (without Crystal Star power he's a normal guy who can't do shit.)
Doopliss ends up being recruited by the Shadow Sirens in Vivian's place
So that really leaves Smorg, who was very much a wtf boss (though not even the one that was holding the Crystal Star.)

Super Saiyan Grubba!
Funny how with all his powerups he was still easy, yet epic and fun. LOVE this game! Gotta get it and play it again!
It's things like that, that I feel make games enjoyable.
Paper ttyd has the greatest beats and rhythm. No other game could ever be like this one.
@dottedboy yeah, although the first time playing thru, u dont have any clue that grubba is the chapter villain until the end, but tubba blubba is mentioned constantly
懐かしいのぉマッチョガンス

@eltsoldier Tubba Blubba and Grubba are based on Spike from SMB3. Spikes also appeared in other games like Yoshi's Island or NSMB Wii.
Macho Grubba buffing himself to get more turns so he can add more buffs that give him more turns
especially vivian. i felt so bad for her D:!! i was extremely happy when she joined the team
Ahh the Glitz Pit. Best part of all the Paper Mario games.
The ampunt of times i've copied data on Nintendo games to new files just before bosses, just to hear their awesome themes.....
this. was the most commonly played.
Epic soundtrack to 1 of the weirdest games ever made, which surprisingly was utterly epic too.
I don't think theres ever been a Paper Mario battle music that wasn't catchy xD THIS GAME'S MUSIC ROCKED!!!
@TheDrunkMexicans I didn't say the music was terrible, I just pointed out something, I like every single theme in the paper mario series!
Another thing needed to point for Vivian and Koops is just why the Hell Veil is preferred over Shell Shield. There's a reason for it to cost too many Flowers; damage that goes beyond the shell's HP does not stack onto Mario, therefore you can completely waste a charged attack, and even evading a charged attack underground provides that you're willing to get hit with whatever the opponent chooses to spike you with on their extra turn. And you could have just had that very turn with thy god Koopa.
my fav boss in paper mario history.. and an amazing song :D
this was the best chapter of paper mario 2 next to chapter 6. i like the whole mystery and espionage/rescue mission style of those chapters.
used charge about 10x with Goombella and stalled with mario then multibonk....he was done in about 5 minutes
After Tubba Blubba was defeated he had his son, Grubba and opened up the MMA (Mario Martial Arts)
If you listen in the back ground @0:24 you can hear the Starman music playing,
Grubba's like "dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit that jus' aint right'
@VooBopo Yeah I will admit that was one of the biggest shocks I felt bad for thinking it was the Champ...
Dis one of the tightest beatz in da game.
Favorite chapter. Favorite boss music. Hands down.
After listening to Monkey Ball and Earthbound VGMs, you totally forget about Paper Mario VGMs which will always remain excellent.
a game everyone must have, never get bored.
Attack boosts combined with Yoshi's groundpound are a godsend in this battle.
Right? I agree! I still play Pokemon red and all the other versions after 12 years and all my other childhood games I have (Kirby, Mario, Kingdom Hearts, Zelda). Although I play the new games that come out, the classics are always the best XDD
note mis.mowz is a playable char its were the mission board is there will be one for her she needs a badge and stuff u know its up in hook tails castle were the boss room is also the power up gem for partners is the were u get the black key
@DarkT769 I think he means that the third boss in paper mario 1 and 2 were both clubbas, but in paper mario 3 the third boss is francis.
Man I love this song, especially when I hear the siren.
Well that can really be said for any boss battle.
My most hated for instance is Doopliss. He has been turning innocent villagers into pigs just for the laughs, he refuses to accept defeat and cheats by taking over your body. He decieves your partners into fighting against you. He makes you realise how weak you are without your partners, and you wanted to kick his ass and get the partners you had grown attached to back.
This game is a overlooked gem...

@Ultimate6warrior7 Shell for a nail?
@ultementnuma
Huge thumbs up. I replay this game so often just to get to this chapter and have a long drawn out battle with Grubba.
Tubba Blubba just went super saiyan...Fuck.
Yeah! I love Grubba, and Tubba Blubba, and the rest of the Clubbas!
Actually, in a sense, All the crystal stars have something to do with thier boss:
Diamond: Hooktail is giant and stomps on you
Emerald: Crump uses a timer to blow up the tree
Topaz: As you said, powers up
Ruby: Doopliss's power to change anything is similar to how art transforms things
Sapphire: Cortez constantly revives himself during battle, though the Star heals a lot.
Garnet: The real one is hidden, otherwise stopping normal adventures.
Crystal: The X-nauts unleash lots of power.
One of the few gamecube games I never traded it in. To this day, the only games I didn't get rid of were PM2, Windwaker and Rayman 3. =)
My favorite chapter my second favorite one is the one where your on the train to solve clues this is one of my favorite Nintendo games ever made :D
the theme really fits the style of busting some kind of scam (which is appropriate since Grubba tricked you)
Spends 20 turns on buffing and adding more turns and charging. Almost never actually attacks.
Oh yeah I did realize he was like Tubba Blubba but he probably did want to do it again strangely in the same place in the game.
The Glitzville chapter was always one of my favorites. Just because Yoshi.
This was such an awesome game!!!!!!!!! I remember playing it for the first time and being amazed at how epic and awesome a mario RPG was (this was my first mario RPG) it made me get into the series and ive played all the paper marios lol they're all awesome but IMO this was the best one!!!!!!!!!!!
damn i remember this game and this is 1 epic song. good times...
@XGiftedGamerX Actualy(SPOILER), the heart chickens out before it's HP hit's 0, so you have to subtract that bit.
I don't know why but Jolene and X scared the crap out of me. Just that eerie e-mail I'd always get and Jolene catching me when I was sneaking around. And the WORSt part was when I entered the Storage Room. I thought she was going to be in there or something...
For some reason when Macho does the whole "MACHO GRUBBA" thing I always say "NACHOOOOOOOOO!!!" like from Nacho Libre. I have no idea why.
Macho Grubba always dresses in style.
goombella is the best partner in the game because its fun using tattle to fill up the tattle log with enemy info. sort of like a pokedex
This guy is super old though, he was using the crystal star for immortality. He's probably old enough to be Tubba Blubba's grandfather.
Honestly this game is among the best of best RPGs. If you're looking for a game with a solid battle system, an extremely good overworld to explore, and a great storyline/characters, it's very difficult to beat this game. Probably its only real downfall is being on the easy side, but I can't think of any other RPG that comes close in terms of how well the mechanics were designed.
I could imagine this quote getting thrown around: "I pity the fool with the 'stache and red hat!"
Otacon: His HP stands at an incredible 60, his attack is 4, his defense is 0. When he's exhausted, he'll make himself harder to hit using an ancient reality bending technique.
Snake: Hmm. No wonder he was the champion. But those tricks of his don't make him invincible in any case.
Otacon: Right you are, Snake. All right, go get him. I'm rooting for you.
im not sure i understand ur question, and yes, you do have to get this game.
I shrunk him with the mini-eggs, and when he tried to get bigger he was still smaller then Mario!
LOL
I find it amusing that his moves are based on cheating.
Yeah I agree I loved that chapter
Because RUclips. Just keep that in mind and you'll be a lot less confused.
Macho Grubba reminds me alot of Tubba Blubba from paper mario 1 :)
I just noticed that he's basically a big orange penguin with a spiky shell and super Saiyan hair
I love this game - Paper Mario is my favorite Mario spinoff. To my mind it's much better than the jump'n'runs. It's just more fun to play it :D
The drum beat in this song is so friggin' sick. XD
i have mario and your right its a must have game macho grubba is my favorite boss wish i could fight old bosses again
I want to know something: Has anyone uploaded the music right BEFORE this battle? I love it but don't know the name...
This song plays whenever Harrison Ford has to take a serious shit.
That would be a good idea. Like maybe in hard mode, every Goomba would be a Gloomba, every Wizzerd would be an Elite Wizzerd, every Crayzee Dayzee would be a Legendary Amazy Dayzee, etc. That would be cool!
Macho Grubba may be macho, but he cannot stop THE RAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWK!!!
Why dose these songs stop at the freaking middle?!?!
Shrinking this guy turns him to normal size.
これまたリメイクして聴ける時がきたのか！！！？
Before he turned into this i was all like this is gonna be fast but then he went all super sayan on my ass XD
