In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Tubba Blubba is mentioned as being the star of an anime based on him known as ''[[List of implied entertainment#The_Blubbening|The Blubbening]]''; it has run for at least three seasons. ''The Blubbening'' involves a princess and robots and also happens to be a favorite show of [[Francis]]. | In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Tubba Blubba is mentioned as being the star of an anime based on him known as ''[[List of implied entertainment#The_Blubbening|The Blubbening]]''; it has run for at least three seasons.

Tubba Blubba appears only in chapter 10 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' [[Super Mario-kun Volume 25|volume 25]], where he talks only in grunts which are translated between brackets and are (apparently) understood by everyone. | |||
Like in the game, Lady Bow hires Mario, [[Goombario]], and [[Kooper]] to defeat Tubba Blubba, in exchange for Skolar's freedom, since he is apparently eating anyone who comes too close to his castle. The trio, accompanied by Bow, reaches Tubba Blubba's Castle, but once inside, they are spotted by the guards. Escaping, the group notices that Kooper has disappeared, and they think Tubba ate him. Tubba appears and Bow slaps him with his fan, but (without flinching) Tubba attacks her and then Mario, after he tries to save his friend. Unlike in the game, Tubba is not invincible, but he was powered-up by Bowser to be unbeatable, always getting back up after every blow. | |||
In the end, after a combined attack, Mario and Goombario send Tubba flying against a wall, revealing on the other side Kooper and the missing Boos having lunch in his dinner hall. It is then revealed that, even if he is Bowser's minion, Tubba is not evil, and he does not eat his prisoners either: he just offers them to stay for lunch (and not "as lunch"). He simply attacked Mario and his friends because they attacked him first. | |||

Tubba Blubba shows weakness after being defeated by Mario and his allies, attempting to hold back tears and running back to his castle. He appears reserved, spending much of his time sleeping and nourishing himself on a diet of Boos. [[Tubba Blubba's Castle|His castle]] is poorly maintained, with visible cobwebs in its corners, cracks in the walls and ceilings, and during his pursuit of Mario, a collapsed bridge that connected the hallways to his room and the stairway. He apparently employs or is in command of several [[Clubba]]s who, like him, enjoy dozing off into slumber when they aren't active. Tubba Blubba also has several [[Sentinel]]s patrolling the hallways. | Tubba Blubba shows weakness after being defeated by Mario and his allies, attempting to hold back tears and running back to his castle.

Despite his new abilities, Tubba Blubba is still afraid of Bowser, and worries about upsetting him, although part of this is because he does not want Bowser to take back the abilities he granted Tubba. With his heart, and according to several Boos in the game, he is very cowardly and sensitive. | ||
