- “MAAAACHO! I'm a powerhouse now, you pesterin', li'l pieces of prairie piffle! So long's I have this here machine, my bod'll be rough, tough, an' ultrabuff!”
- —Macho Grubba, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
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 HP and a very wide variety of attacks. After being defeated, Grubba's power-sucking machine goes off, returning energy to Bandy Andy and King K, 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 Yoshi Kid can swallow, the others being Doopliss, Grodus and the Shadow Queen (first phase, before and after transformation).
Powers and abilities
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 attack twice per turn. He then uses this ability to first use one of several buffs, increasing his attack power for a turn, or defense or evasiveness for two turns, then doing a running jump attack onto Mario or his partner.
Later in the fight, Macho Grubba may also choose to use a buff that charges up his next attack by 4 damage, and attacks with either a backflip, or a punch that hits both Mario and his partner.
Quotes
- “MAAAAAAAAAACHO GRUBBA!”
- “Not too shabby, Gonzales! You got showmanship, an' that's GOLD in this biz! But this here battle's just gettin' started! It's time I showed you some real moves! Back in the day, I had so many rump–kickin' moves, they had to make some illegal!”
- "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! It ain't finished yet, Gonzales!!! Ain't over 'til it's over! That's way it is in combat sports, son! But lemme just tell YOU somethin'… Fortune's gonna smile on ME in the end, punk!”
- "Hoo-wee! I'm gonna smoosh you guys into guacamole an' snack on YER energy, too!"
