Clubbas look similar to Spikes, but they do have their differences, noticably their dot eyes and longer tail. I agree that Tubba Blubba and Grubba resemble Clubbas, and plus their names sound similar to "Clubba". {{User:Sparks/sig}} 21:39, February 7, 2024 (EST) | Clubbas look similar to Spikes, but they do have their differences, noticably their dot eyes and longer tail.

Why are the White Clubbas called albino? #1: that's not revealed in-game and #2: They don't seem to have pink eyes, even though most characters in that game have little dots for eyes. Lemmy Koopa Fan Lemmy Koopa Fan 18:14, 4 December 2009 (EST)
- First of all, there are several types of albinism in the real world, not all of which result in pink eyes... Now, having got past that, yes; the word is used incorrectly. If it's such an issue for you, just changed it to "White-colored" or some variation thereof. Redstar 18:22, 4 December 2009 (EST)
- Alright, I changed it to "white-colored", but the only reason I made this page is so I could check with someone before I made my edit (which I always do) and also, I was just trying to be logical (which, again, I always am) Lemmy Koopa FanLemmy Koopa Fan 22:37, 4 December 2009 (EST)
Grubba
Isn't Grubba a Clubba? I'manumber1 (talk) 22:50, December 12, 2021 (EST)
If so it should be added to the article. I'manumber1 (talk) 22:51, December 12, 2021 (EST)
- This was touched on here. The long and short of it was that Spike's English name was inconsistent at the time of the first two Paper Mario games, and the localizers didn't pick up on Clubba's Japanese name connection to Spike, which is why Tubba Blubba and Grubba were renamed after Clubba despite not fitting Clubba's "club-wielding soldier" description.

I'm aware the Japanese name of Clubba is derived from Spike's which is also the case for these two characters. However, there's also the fact that regular Spikes do not appear in these games with Clubbas being the only kind that do, and Clubbas along with these two characters don't spit spiked balls from their mouths. Although Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door also doesn't have normal Clubbas as enemies, Grubba's name and design does still alude to them.

- Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) - I don't see no clubs, nor are these characters soldiers. They pun simply because they are the only Spikes present (and to be honest, with the slapdash localization jobs, they may have forgotten about what was at the time an obscure SMB3 enemy when naming these - note how SMW2 and YS also gave Spikes different names.)
