Editing Talk:Tubba Blubba

== Undead? ==
Why is he classified undead? He's definitely still living, even without his heart. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 16:02, 23 November 2007 (EST)

== Reference in Super Mario Galaxy? ==

Can anyone else hear the intro to Tubba Blubba's battle theme in Super Mario Galaxy's fire flower music?

Fire Flower: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3pDuzpNMYY

I'm not sure if this is just me, or if I should add this to the page or not. Does anyone else hear it and think it should be mentioned? --[[Special:Contributions/174.59.4.202|174.59.4.202]] 15:33, 18 April 2013 (EDT)
:I don't hear it. {{User:Mario4Ever/sig}}
::I hear it, but many music unintentionally uses similar stings or notes. This isn't notable enough to be mentioned. {{User:BabyLuigiOnFire/sig}} 22:30, 18 April 2013 (EDT)

== The Davy Jones of his Species? ==

Does anyone else notice a small reference to Davy Jones in ''Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End'' about Tubba Blubba and his heart?[[User:296lmn20|296lmn20]] ([[User talk:296lmn20|talk]])296lmn20

:''Paper Mario'' was released six years before ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' brought up Davy Jones's heart, so nope, it's not a reference. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 19:33, 12 March 2016 (EST)

== This might be a bit of a stretch, but... ==

...are there references to Jack and the Giant Beanstalk in Chapter 3 of Paper Mario? To begin, the gulch where all the brown Boos live is reminiscent of the dry plains area in which Jack lived in the story. Yakkey seems to be a parallel to the goose that lays golden eggs, and like the goose, it makes noise when found, which wakes up Tubba Blubba. Lastly, everything in Tubba Blubba's castle is gigantic (Tubba Blubba himself is a giant [[Clubba]], the same way the giant in the Beanstalk story was a giant man). Lastly, when Mario is escaping the castle, Tubba Blubba chases him in a fury and destroys parts of it to facilitate capturing him. In the Beanstalk story, the giant chases Jack out of the castle (also destroying parts of it) before falling to his doom. I'm tempted to add this to the trivia section but I don't want to speculate ''too'' hard. [[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|Blue Ninjakoopa]] ([[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|talk]]) 10:22, 30 March 2017 (EDT)
:Certainly some interesting parallels, but this does sound like coincidence. For one thing, where's the giant beanstalk? Kinda hard to make a reference to something when you leave out an important plot detail ('course, a beanstalk does appear in Chapter 6...). It sounds interesting, but it also sounds coincidental to me. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 10:50, 30 March 2017 (EDT)
::Yeah, you're right. Just something that I found interesting, and if it ever crosses anyone's mind, they can always read the talk page. :P [[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|Blue Ninjakoopa]] ([[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|talk]]) 13:13, 30 March 2017 (EDT)

A Mario book I got as a birthday present briefly talks about this game, and in an entry for Lady Bow, it actually calls Tubba Blubba a "Clubba". It's probably too soon to say for Grubba, but it seems like we should change it to Tubba Blubba, and I could reference this book with the page number. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}}
:Which book? The thing is that the original Japanese name of Clubba, and supported by later descriptions in ''Super Paper Mario'', point to Clubbas being Spike soldiers with clubs, which Tubba Blubba doesn't quite fit under (also considering that the first ''Paper Mario'' describes Clubbas as "the main guards of Tubba Blubba's Castle"). Also consider that English translations of the first few RPGs [[Koopa Paratroopa#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|didn't]] [[Cheep Cheep#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|keep]] [[Lava Bubble#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|track]] [[Mini Goomba#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|of]] [[Beezo#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|every]] [[Lava Piranha|established]] [[Para-Beetle#Paper Mario series|enemy]] [[List of implied characters#Chestnut King|name]], which extended to other games of the times, including Spike's [[Spike#Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|own]] [[Spike#Yoshi's Story|name]]. It's probable that the ''Paper Mario'' localizers didn't have a solid reference for ''Gabon'', which then only appeared as "Spike" way back in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and/or that the book author made assumptions. Overall, I think that it can be mentioned somewhere, but it's somewhat contradicted by the definition of a Clubba within the games themselves.

-He looks more like the Spike's relative Clubbas than Spikes.
