Bubba

Bubbas are big fish with sunglasses that will eat Mario if he gets too near them after a while. They appear in Tiny-Huge Island and it cannot be defeated similar to most aquatic enemies in Super Mario 64. If Mario is eaten, he will lose a life. They look and act very similar to Boss Bass from Super Mario Bros. 3. Bubba appears to be a species of Blurp. Related to them is the small Bub fish. In Super Mario 64 DS, Big Berthas took the place of Bubbas.

Additionally, stepping on a Happening Space on Yoshi's Tropical Island, a gameboard in Mario Party, would make Bubba switch Toad's and Bowser's position.

In Mario Golf 64, either a Bubba or Blurp will eat the ball if it lands in the water. They are also much smaller in this game.



Bubbas are also in Super Mario Sunshine, but do not have sunglasses. In this game, they drag Mario down to the seabed. Strangely, if Mario is holding a Fruit, they can't grab onto him. They are much smaller, in fact they are about the size of Mario himself. They appear in Gelato Beach, Noki Bay, Delfino Airstrip, and The Bottle. Additionally, sub-species of Bubbas that inhabit lava called Lava Bubbas can be found in Corona Mountain.
