Brutius Maximus Grouchimus



Brutius Maximus Grouchimus is an overly-muscular gladiator who works at a colosseum in the Linguine Empire as it's guardien.

In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "The Great Gladiator Gig / Bonkers from Yonkers"`, Brutius Maximus Grouchimus is the one to welcome Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool to the Linguine Empire at the entrance to the empire's colosseum. Brutius, after greeting Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool, had them follow them into the colosseum to the orphan's benifit spaghetti dinner they were promised.

It was on the way to this dinner that Brutius mentions that the benifit dinner may be cancelled; a shocked Mario proceeds to ask Brutius why the dinner would be cancelled. Brutius tells Mario that the catacombs of the colosseum have a plumbing problem, thats why. Mario, not wanting to miss the benefit dinner and spaghetti, promises Brutius that he and Luigi could fix whatever plumbing problem happening.

Hearing this, Brutius calls several Koopa Troopas into attendence and tells Mario and Luigi to wait where they are while he and the Koopa Troopas escorted Princess Toadstool and Toad through the colosseum and to the Linguine Empire's emperor, who was revealed to be King Koopa, or "Emperor Augustus Septembres Octoberus Koopa".

After introducing Princess Toadstool and Toad to the emperor and having them captured, Brutius proceeded to lead Mario and Luigi to the "plumbing problem" in the colosseum catacombs. Leading Mario and Luigi to a small corridor, Brutius suddenly calls upon several Koopa Troopas to capture them.

Mario and Luigi manage to evade capture though by commandering a horse and chariot to escape Brutius and his Koopa Troopa henchmen, knocking them aside in the process. Brutius, in frustration, grabs to Koopa Troopas and throws them at Mario and Luigi.

Fortunately, Mario and Luigi stop these shells, unfortunately, their horse refuses to pull their chariot further, Mario having used the horses oats to stop the pursueing shells. Despite not having a horse or chariot anymore, Mario and Luigi manage to run from and escape Brutius and his Koopa Troopas by bursting through a door.

Later, Emperor Augustus Septembres Octoberus Koopa is forced out of the Linguine Empire. Brutius, having seemingly given-up his evil ways, was shown to be the spaghetti cook at Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool's benefit spaghetti dinner.
