They appear in Tiny-Huge Island and it cannot be defeated similar to most aquatic enemies in Super Mario 64. If Mario is eaten, he will lose a life. In Super Mario 64 DS, Big Berthas took the place of Bubbas.

Mario Party

Additionally, stepping on a Happening Space on Yoshi's Tropical Island, a gameboard in Mario Party, would eat Toad, making Bubba switch Toad's and Bowser's position.

Bubbas are also in Super Mario Sunshine, but do not have sunglasses. In this game, they drag Mario down to the seabed. Strangely, if Mario is holding a Fruit, they can't grab onto him. They are much smaller, in fact they are about the size of Mario himself. They appear in Gelato Beach, Noki Bay, Delfino Airstrip, and The Bottle. Additionally, sub-species of Bubbas that inhabit lava called Lava Bubbas can be found in Corona Mountain.
