'''Clubbas''' are [[Spike]] soldiers that wield mace-like spiked clubs which resemble an ordinary Spike's ball. They appear exclusively within the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]], where they are typically found sleeping outside of combat, typically leaving them vulnerable to a [[First Strike]] or simply allowing them to be avoided altogether. They bear a strong resemblance to the Spike's appearance in official ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' artwork, bearing white hair, green skin and dark gray shells.

Clubbas first appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', where they are commonly seen as guards in the [[Tubba Blubba's Castle|castle]] of [[Tubba Blubba]]. Only a few of Tubba Blubba's Clubba henchmen actively guard the castle, and if [[Mario]] and his [[Partner|team]] decide to, they can simply sneak by sleeping Clubbas, who only wake up if the team moves quickly. In battle, they walk over and swing their clubs down on Mario. After completing Chapter 3, all enemies abandon Tubba Blubba's Castle except for one Clubba in the first floor east wing. He apparently fell asleep and got left behind and when talked to, he wakes up and realizes this before falling asleep again.

If the player chooses a Clubba as one of the things Mario fears in the Princess Peach intermission after the Tubba Blubba quest, [[Kammy Koopa]] summons one to guard a [[Treasure Chest]] in the [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]]. Later in the game, after Mario and his crew defeat [[Huff N. Puff]] and rescue the [[Klevar|sixth]] [[Star Spirit]], a single Clubba appears as a sleeping guard in [[Peach's Castle]], sleeping while it was supposed to be guarding the door to the hallway where Mario and [[Bowser]] faced off at the beginning of the game and will do so again in the climax. [[Princess Peach]], using her [[Sneaky Parasol]], turns into this Clubba to relieve a [[Koopatrol]] of his duties at that door, as well as to proceed further to the top of the castle before being caught again by Kammy Koopa.

Clubbas appear again in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', where they appear in all the surface areas of the [[Gap of Crag]]. They have very high [[Heart Point|HP]] in this game. Once more, they are often found napping and can be avoided by the player's character. A Clubba can also be fought against in [[Castle Bleck]] as an optional enemy, like in ''Paper Mario''. There was also a very brief mentioning of Tubba Blubba by [[Francis]]. According to him, Tubba Blubba stars in his own TV series called ''[[The Blubbening]]''. A subspecies of Clubba, the [[Dark Clubba]], also appears in this game.
