Macho Grubba

“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, also the true final boss of the Glitz Pit in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He gets quite a makeover, going from blue to orange with a spiky shell and a wild orange hairdo, but still retains his original vest, glasses, and tie. In this state, he has 60 HP, and also has a very wide variety of attacks, including buffing himself, allowing himself to attack twice, and boosting his Attack Points. After being defeated, his power-sucking machine goes off, returning energy to Bandy Andy and King K, and freeing Prince Mush. In this form, he looks very similar to an orange version of Tubba Blubba.

Trivia

• Macho Grubba seems to possess more maximum HP than many other bosses (including Grodus, which is the game's main villain).
