- This article is about the character from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. For the enemy known as "Bub" in Super Mario 64, see Cheep Cheep.
Template:Character-infobox Bub is a spoiled, orange Bob-omb kid in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He is always with his dad Goldbob and his mother Sylvia. Mario first sees him and his parents in Glitzville, then the Excess Express, and lastly at their home in Poshley Heights.
Bub wishes to work on a train when he grows up, possibly as an engineer. His fascination with trains is made obvious when he states that he would rather have an autograph of the Excess Express's engineer for a birthday present rather than getting a car, a house, or an encyclopedia set (all three being things his parents thought he wanted).
On the third day aboard the Excess Express, Bub and his parents are among the passengers who are absorbed into the Smorg monster. After Mario defeats the monster, the individual Smorgs blow away in the wind, freeing the passengers.
When Bowser and Kammy Koopa visit Poshley Heights during an intermission after Chapter 7, Bowser can optionally talk to Bub, who asks for the former's name (Evil King Extraordinaire, Businessman of Legend, Koopa Koot). If Bowser chooses "Evil King Extraordinaire", Bub will then become terrified and flee.
Despite Bub's overly generous parents and posh upbringing, Bub himself does not possess much money. If the player solves Bub's Trouble (posted at the Trouble Center in Rogueport), Bub rewards the player with three Coins, which he says are his "life's savings".
In Bub's trouble, he gets into a fight with Sylvia and needs Mario's help to make up. He wants any ingredient listed within the trouble, then Mario needs Zess T. to make the ingredient. When this happens, Bub wraps the ingredient in wrapping paper, attaches a note to it, and gives it to Mario. Then he delivers it to Sylvia, and the trouble is solved. The letter reveals that the fight occurred because Bub did not do his homework.
