Tub-subs[1] are enemies in Wario Land: Shake It!. These barrel-like submarines appear in underwater levels, such as Wavy Waters, and try to attack Wario in his Subwarine with missiles of their own. Tub-subs take three missile hits to defeat, and drop three small gold coins once destroyed. There are two colorations of Tub-subs, one with brown wood and gray metal, and one with gray wood and purple metal. Brown ones move vertically to try and attack Wario after taking damage once, while gray ones do not. Tub-subs cannot move diagonally or turn, and only fire missiles in a horizontal line.
Profiles and statistics[edit]

- Threat:
- Treat these rotund subs with respect: They fire torpedoes just like Wario's Subwarine, and they're the only oceanic baddies that require two hits to sink instead of one. It's usually best to rush Tub-subs, blasting them once before they can get off a shot and then backing off while they recover. Be quick to fire a second shot to finish off the wounded Tub-sub before it can react!
Tub-subs may seem threatening, but they've got nothing on Wario's advanced craft. Each one gives off three gold coins when defeated, so make sure to sink these sub-par subs![1]
