Tubba Blubba



Tubba Blubba is a Gargantuan Clubba who became invincible after his heart was removed from his body in Paper Mario. He lives in Tubba Blubba's Castle and guards the third Star Spirit, Skolar, but Skolar escaped and was captured by Bow, who promised to set him free after Mario and his posse defeat Tubba Blubba.

Tubba Blubba's Heart is hiding in the Windy Mill in Gusty Gulch. To unlock the door to the windmill, Mario will need to find a talking key named Yakkey, which is hidden in a box in Mr. Blubba's room.

When Tubba Blubba is defeated by Mario, he started to have cry tears on his face and realized he is not invincible anymore although he has his heart in his body. He gives up as he give back the Boos from Gusty Gulch and Boo's Mansion by opening his mouth; releasing the Boos he ate. Since he doesn't want to be invincible anyone as he runs away. Lady Bow mentioned about him that she and the other Boos love scaring Tubba Blubba all day and night because apparently, he is a coward.

Tubba Blubba bears some resemblance to Don Bongo, a boss of the game Yoshi's Story. Don Bongo may have been the inspiration behind Tubba Blubba. Macho Grubba also resembles him.

Trivia
