'''Bub''' is a | '''Bub''' is a young, bronze [[Bob-omb]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' with an affinity for trains. The son of [[Goldbob]], president of [[Goldbobbington's]], and [[Sylvia (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Sylvia]], he travels to various locations with his parents throughout the game. | ||

[[Mario]] and his [[Party member|party]] first meet Bub in [[Glitzville]] outside the [[Glitz Pit]] while he and his family are vacationing there. Goldbob and Bub become quick fans of Mario after he begins rising through the ranks of the Glitz Pit, often referring to him to by his stage name, "The Great Gonzales". | [[Mario]] and his [[Party member|party]] first meet Bub in [[Glitzville]] outside the [[Glitz Pit]] while he and his family are vacationing there.

Bub is next encountered on the [[Excess Express]] as it departs from [[Rogueport]] to head to [[Poshley Heights]]. On the train, Goldbob and Sylvia argue over what to get Bub for his birthday, with Goldbob wanting a house or a car to flaunt the family's wealth and Sylvia wanting to get him study materials to prepare him for the future. Their arguing seems of little concern to Bub, who actually just wants an [[Autograph|autograph]] of the [[Excess Express engineer]] since he someday hopes to become a train engineer himself. Seeing no hope in getting through to his parents, Bub asks Mario to get the autograph for him. The engineer is flattered to oblige Bub's request, giving Mario the autograph. When Mario presents the autograph to him, Bub expresses his appreciation by giving Mario a [[Shine Sprite#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Shine Sprite]]. Goldbob and Sylvia are surprised to learn of their son's interests in trains, with Goldbob proclaiming he will buy Bub a solid gold train. Sylvia apparently convinces Goldbob to tone down the gift as later that night Bub is excited that his parents are getting him a train ''set'' rather than an actual train, though Goldbob is adamant that the train set must be solid gold. Goldbob and Bub admire the Express outside as it is stopped at [[Riverside Station]]. | Bub is next encountered on the [[Excess Express]] as it departs from [[Rogueport]] to head to [[Poshley Heights]].

At the start of the third day, Bub, along with his family and the other passengers and staff, goes missing, being absorbed into a hoard of [[Smorg]]s that attacks the train. Mario eventually defeats the Smorgs, causing them to blow away in the wind. After the incident, Bub and his family safely arrive in Poshley Heights.

Mario eventually defeats the Smorgs, causing them to blow away in the wind. After the incident, Bub and his family safely arrive in Poshley Heights. When [[Bowser]] and [[Kammy Koopa]] arrive in Poshely Heights, Bowser can optionally talk to Bub, who will ask him for his name: Evil King Extraordinaire, Businessman of Legend, or [[Koopa Koot]]. If Bowser answers "Evil King Extraordinaire", Bub will become terrified and flee. | ||
