*[[Grubba]] is similar to Tubba Blubba in many ways. Both of them are blue-skinned Spikes with purple shells and orange hair and lips, and both are Chapter 3 bosses. Both of their English names are based on [[Clubba]]s rather than Spikes, although neither of them are club-wielding soldiers. Also, both have spikes on their shell, though Grubba only has them after [[Macho Grubba|transforming]]. Lastly, they both have a well-guarded secret to their "invincibility".

*Tubba Blubba's invincibility is likely a reference to "{{wp|The Giant Who Had No Heart in His Body}}", a fairy tale featuring a giant who was invincible because his heart was likewise locked away in the bottom of a well.
*Tubba Blubba (and the later half of Chapter 3) seems to be heavily influenced by "{{wp|The Giant Who Had No Heart in His Body}}", a Norwegian fairy tale featuring a giant who was invincible because his heart was likewise locked away in the bottom of a well.
