As his name implies, '''Muskular''' is a very strong [[Star Spirit]] who likes to work out, first appearing in the original ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as the fourth Star Spirit to rescue from Bowser. He likes to wear a sailor's hat, meaning he could like the water or just chooses to wear the hat. This young Star Spirit is always full of energy.
