Bub

Template:Character-infobox"What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my words. You think you can get away with saying shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your tongue. You didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo." Bub is a spoiled Bob-omb kid in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He is 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 for a birthday present rather 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", three Coins.

In Bub's trouble, he gets into a fight with Sylvia and needs Mario's help to make up. He wants any ingredient listed within the trouble, then Mario needs Zess T. to make the ingredient. When this happens, Bub wraps the ingredient in wrapping paper, attaches a note to it and gives it to Mario. Then he delivers it to Sylvia, and the trouble is solved. The letter reveals that the fight is caused by Bub's not doing his homework.
