'''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 [[King K]], freeing [[Prince Mush]], and reverting Grubba back to his normal form. | |||
Macho Grubba is one of three chapter bosses not affiliated with either [[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). | |||

- —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.
Macho Grubba is one of three chapter bosses not affiliated with either 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[edit]
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.
Macho Grubba is the only chapter villain who uses the Crystal Star's Special Move, Power Lift. All other chapter villains either possess a Crystal Star, but never use it, or simply obstruct the path to it.

Tattle | That's Macho Grubba. He's Grubba all souped-up on Crystal Star power. Max HP is 60, Attack is 4, and Defense is 0. His attack pattern is simple: first he increases the number of times he can attack... Then he powers himself up with all sorts of crazy, power-uppy moves. So, it's pretty important to pay close attention to how he's powered himself up. The craziest thing about this musclehead is that he used to be that chubby Grubba. I guess the Crystal Stars really ARE powerful! |
