'''Macho Grubba''' is the powered-up form of [[Grubba]], the true chapter boss of the [[Glitz Pit]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and the keeper of the real [[Gold Star]]. In this state, he has sixty [[Heart Point|HP]] and a very wide variety of attacks. After being defeated, Grubba's power-sucking machine goes off, returning energy to [[Bandy Andy]] and [[KP Pete]], freeing [[Prince Mush]], and reverting Grubba back to his normal form. He is also one of three chapter bosses not affiliated with either [[Sir Grodus]] or the [[Shadow Queen]] throughout the entire game (the others being [[Cortez]] and [[Smorg]]). He is also one of four chapter bosses the [[Mini-Yoshi|Yoshi Kid]] can swallow, the others being [[Doopliss]], [[Sir Grodus|Grodus]] and the [[Shadow Queen]] (first phase, before and after transformation).

After being powered up by the Gold Star, Macho Grubba has the ability to tilt the scales in battle to his favor.  At the beginning of the fight, Macho Grubba gains the ability to [[Fast|attack twice]] per turn. By doing this, he can inflict more damage on Mario and his partner in one turn, or even upgrade his status to a more powerful state during this time. Another ability Macho Grubba has is to [[ATK-Up|increase his attack power]] as well as his [[DEF-Up|defense]]. With an increased attack power, Macho Grubba's attack power will go up by three, bringing his overall attack to seven. Should he increase his attack power more than once, he can bring his attack up to ten, and even thirteen.

Depending on which attack Macho Grubba uses at the time, he can inflict damage on both Mario and his partner, doubling the effects of his upgrade. By increasing his defense, his defense will go up by two. This makes it more difficult for Mario and his partner to damage Macho Grubba.  Macho Grubba can also increase his defense multiple times, bringing his defense up to four, and even five &mdash; which is the highest numerical defense in the game. In addition to being able to increase his attack, he can also [[Charged|charge]] up his attack by four. Should his attack be at thirteen, and then be increased by four, his attack will be brought to a devastating seventeen, the highest possible attack Macho Grubba can have and one of the highest attack power in the game. When low on health, Macho Grubba will also make himself [[dodgy]], making it much more difficult for Mario and his partner to inflict damage on Macho Grubba, if at all.

==Trivia==
*Macho Grubba is one of two bosses in the game to show signs of being worn out when he has low health, along with [[Sir Grodus]].
*Like [[Rawk Hawk]], Macho Grubba also fights in the manner of a heel character, which is a villainous wrestler who uses dirty, underhanded tactics to win. As stated by Macho Grubba, himself, he ''"had so many rump-kickin' moves they had to make some illegal."''; indicating he was, indeed, a heel.
