Paper Mario TTYD Macho Grubba music

Macho Grubba fight music

[@nickdiggers7887]

Despite being one of the more low key villains in the game, he was quite effective given just how sinister he was. That chapter was one of the darker ones in the game purely because of him and what he does, and kind of has this murder mystery vibe that's actually quite compelling. Just the way he drains people for his own personal gain and covers it up makes him one of the darker villains of the game. Sometimes a comparatively smaller villain in something is substantially more effective given the way the piece of media will amplify it, and I thought it was done pretty well in that regard.

[@Kalanathan]

It's one of those parts of a game where you need to play it twice to understand all of the things that make it so good. Best chapter imo, that or chapter 5.

[@nathancarpenter9731]

Nick Diggers This is personally one of my favorite Mario games both story and gameplay wise and every boss in its own way is sinister Except 6 which is humorous to take away from how sinister the rest are. Chapter 1 Hooktail is eating the citizens of petalberg, Chapter 2 lord crump is capturing the residents of that tree (cant remember the name) Chapter 4 your identity is stolen and your partners have no idea, chapter 5 the spirits of the dead haunt your ship presumably because they died out in sea. Chapter 7 you face lord crump again basically killing TEC, (even though you can go back and see him somehow which was kinda weak :/) And finally in the thousand year door The Shadow queen needs a pure being (The sacrificial virgin :p)

[@OctoNocturne]

Nick Diggers SOrry for reviving a dead post, but it's certainly worth noting that he's also the only Villain in the game that actually (successfully)uses the power of a crystal star for his own nefarious purposes.

MACHO GRUBBA (more like nacho grubba)

[@Monchan-l6h]

I always pictured a great voice for Grubba, if they were to ever add voices, would be King Dedede's voice from Kirby Right Back At Ya. XD

[@EboneWisteria]

Monchan nah mate it's the game grumps voice for gim

[@Onigirli]

"I need summin t'a clobbah dat Gonzales!"

[@thehale_]

I did that too lmfao

[@plattytheperrypus5701]

Ok. Arin's voice from the grump playthrough has been beaten.

[@junior214223]

This chapter really scared me as a kid, going into the air vents and spying on Grubba was creepy.

[@Slyzx6]

the entire chapter was creepy as hell

[@Stopmotioncreator1]

Damn, Whenever I listen to this I remember when I first played through it, everyone else in the house were asleep, and I had still only been aged nearly 6 years the lead up to this and the music made me tremble in awe to the point where "stylish" hits were almost impossible, I cried half happily when I beat him, because of the story and because of how I ran on adrenaline fighting the boss in legitimate fear and awe... truly brings back good memories

[@Onigirli]

For real. This track was pretty unusual from the previous themes in the game, it instantly grabbed my attention. It's just so menacing.

[@KmanHK]

IT'S ME MARIO! IT'S ME MARIO! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG MARIO! YOU ALL BOUGHT IT! YOU ALL BOUGHT IT, HOOK, LINE, AND SINKER!

[@codyadams5129]

the wwe fan in me cries with happiness at this..

[@MattFrost224]

In light of this chapter of the game, Grubba kind of comes across as the "Don King" of the Mario universe.

[@Cyyberslam8]

Huh, this sounds like it could fit into a Metroid Prime boss fight.

[@OneWhoKnowsThings6009]

+Cyyberslam8 its a remix of a prime sound track. i think against the parasite queen not sure.

[@Slyzx6]

i think it sounds more like earthbound

[@nickmauro881]

They had to make some of his moves illegal back in his day!

[@100organicfreshmemes5]

This song fits so perfectly it hurts, manages to combine the stylish "pit fight" vibe of the Glitz Pit with intimidating and tense elements because the stakes for this fight are really high relative to the fun, more laid back tone of most of Chapter 3.

[@mikeax24]

"NOBODY CALLS ME TUBBY"

[@undoneonion90]

Can't believe he used the Crystal Star to kill King K, Bandy Andy and even Prince Mush!

[@Theyellowflash6]

He didn't kill them. He used the crystal star to drain their energy.

[@Will31999]

Theyellowflash6 yeah but we didn't know that when we all first played the game....

[@gamingawesomeness222]

And trap them in the crystal star. Reminds me of that one teen titans villain. @$$holes. both of em.

[@alexfay3100]

New Paper Mario for WiiU, made with as much love and care as this one. One that goes back to everything that makes TTYD the absolute best in my eyes, without the gimmicks that ruined Sticker Star or the dramatic gameplay change that hurt Super (although I still like SPM) Please Nintendo. Please!

[@Will31999]

i... would take.... Metroid other M type changes.... to sticker star....

[@MorbidAnimosity]

Willy Larson Other m GAMEPLAY was good its just the story/narrative was shit. They should have left samus a mysterious bounty hunter, not this chick bowing to that guy all "i wont use my weapons unless u give me permission" and shit

[@Langtree]

😕

[@100organicfreshmemes5]

@@MorbidAnimosity I would say decent, not good. It was pretty shallow compared to other similar games and almost completely lacked Metroid's exploration elements.

[@cccaymol]

"These moves were outlawed back in my days, Gonzalez!" Towards the end of the battle... "Good fi...i..g-g-go-g...g..grEaT...g-g-G-GonZalEZ...Hurrnnggh..."

[@JoseDiaz-xf6vb]

Best song in the game

[@BassTrombone95]

I'd honestly love to know what happened to Grubba after the events of TTYD. He was such a sinister, threatening villain, and I don't know about you guys, but I never expected him to be the bad guy of the chapter early on. I'd like to see him come back in a future game personally, since his story feels so incomplete. In fact, much of TTYD feels that way, which is why Nintendo really would have a lot of great things to expand on if they wanted to. It really disappoints me that they haven't.

[@itsabe90]

BassTrombone95 I think he died

[@Robbie_Haruna]

He either died or was arrested presumably. How was much of TTYD's story incomplete? Most of the chapter antagonists don't require any relevance after their own one. Lord Crump in chapter 2 and 7 is a recurring enemy. Hooktail dies. Cortez becomes a buddy with you. Grubba dies/is arrested, (without Crystal Star power he's a normal guy who can't do shit.) Doopliss ends up being recruited by the Shadow Sirens in Vivian's place So that really leaves Smorg, who was very much a wtf boss (though not even the one that was holding the Crystal Star.)

[@lilypyrope4620]

Personally, when I first saw him, I never thought of him as a boss, since there was no reason to believe Rawk *wouldn't* be the boss at that point (He had the star on his belt, I figured we would beat him, become the champion and just grab the star from the belt). I still thought he was a bad guy, in the "skeevy fight club organizer" kind of way. I'm glad we got to fight him because the whole chapter I wanted to just beat him up

[@Jahranimo_]

Funny how with all his powerups he was still easy, yet epic and fun. LOVE this game! Gotta get it and play it again!

[@cultfervor1]

It's things like that, that I feel make games enjoyable.

[@MasterofMetallica08]

Paper ttyd has the greatest beats and rhythm. No other game could ever be like this one.

[@nintendonut999]

One of the few games in which I like all of the boss music. Usually there is something that is wrong, but Paper Mario is awesome!

[@jammerjaw]

Otacon: His HP stands at an incredible 60, his attack is 4, his defense is 0. When he's exhausted, he'll make himself harder to hit using an ancient reality bending technique. Snake: Hmm. No wonder he was the champion. But those tricks of his don't make him invincible in any case. Otacon: Right you are, Snake. All right, go get him. I'm rooting for you.

[@GLaDOS551]

bought it played it waited waited some more still waiting listened to music on youtube

[@へんなの-m1r]

懐かしいのぉマッチョガンス

[@RadStitch]

I think it's my favourite "surprise" game. I bought it when it was released, because my fav' mag noted it 9/10,without being really attracted by the game. Finally i LOVE this game, second RPG,after Golden Sun, and actually it's probably my best gamecube game.

[@EvanescentBloo]

I don't think theres ever been a Paper Mario battle music that wasn't catchy xD THIS GAME'S MUSIC ROCKED!!!

[@lilypyrope4620]

Macho Grubba buffing himself to get more turns so he can add more buffs that give him more turns

[@Megamiga96]

Well that can really be said for any boss battle. My most hated for instance is Doopliss. He has been turning innocent villagers into pigs just for the laughs, he refuses to accept defeat and cheats by taking over your body. He decieves your partners into fighting against you. He makes you realise how weak you are without your partners, and you wanted to kick his ass and get the partners you had grown attached to back.

[@TMan5636]

tubba blubba is which i call a collosal clubba, which are like the alphamale of clubbas like bowser which i call a royal koopa, which are the alphamale of koopas

[@Hysteria98]

Nintendo just raised the fucking benchmark for themselves on this one. I never, ever, ever, expected music like this, on a Mario game. Just hearing Bowser's fight theme be DRUM & BASS was mad enough, daymn....

[@jammerjaw]

Snake: So this is what Grubba's truly looked like, huh. Otacon: Yes. This is Macho Grubba. Snake: Hmm. Silly name. Otacon: I think it fits him well. True to his name, he's very tough. He uses psychotherapy to buff the number of times he can attack and his defense or offense. Then he uses the moves from his glory days, including body slams, and punches. Using psychothereapy, Star Power, and a never-ending supply of spirit, Macho Grubba will prove to be a very formidable opponent.

[@Playstriker32]

Another thing needed to point for Vivian and Koops is just why the Hell Veil is preferred over Shell Shield. There's a reason for it to cost too many Flowers; damage that goes beyond the shell's HP does not stack onto Mario, therefore you can completely waste a charged attack, and even evading a charged attack underground provides that you're willing to get hit with whatever the opponent chooses to spike you with on their extra turn. And you could have just had that very turn with thy god Koopa.

[@1-upshroob677]

the theme really fits the style of busting some kind of scam (which is appropriate since Grubba tricked you)

[@sigmundfreud7903]

Grubba's like "dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit that jus' aint right'

[@thedoomturtle]

Ahh the Glitz Pit. Best part of all the Paper Mario games.

[@RedLink27]

This was my first ever GC game and man I played it. At the time I didn't have a memory card and had to keep starting from the start. But now I beat it about 6 times, and this will always be one of my favorite games, right up there with EarthBound and Sonic Adventure.

[@PokeDude011]

Super Saiyan Grubba!

[@greentoad64]

Grubba rhymes with Blubba. They look alike as well. They're both the Bosses of chapter 3 in each game. Grubba Started out colored Blue like Tubba Blubba. Connection?

[@enavy04]

Probably the same species: either clubba or boom boom.

[@Lewisfan1]

+Evan Washington According to Mario Wiki, they both should be Clubbas.

[@HollowTank]

Right? I agree! I still play Pokemon red and all the other versions after 12 years and all my other childhood games I have (Kirby, Mario, Kingdom Hearts, Zelda). Although I play the new games that come out, the classics are always the best XDD

[@punpunpunpunyama]

I find it amusing that his moves are based on cheating.

[@mariobro1993]

You gotta admit though, Grubba had charisma. He had that Nintendo charm that so many of the friendly NPCs had. They never once let slip that Grubba was evil, until the moment of truth.

[@DMviewerguy]

This guy is super old though, he was using the crystal star for immortality. He's probably old enough to be Tubba Blubba's grandfather.

[@likealaddertothesun]

Spends 20 turns on buffing and adding more turns and charging. Almost never actually attacks.

[@Playstriker32]

It's probably the Brobot L. Type battle equivalent when you know you can never get enough of the feels of an orange, large [insert name of creature I figured out later in SPM but forgot here - LITERALLY, please?] having a cringing shuffle to charge up with Crystal Star cosmic chaotic power. *Breathes* *Awes* *Eats nacho cheese, nacho's, oranges and guacamole* You'll find this joke somewhere - it's bound! ^=^

[@Sylphon]

especially vivian. i felt so bad for her D:!! i was extremely happy when she joined the team

[@Damianogre]

After Tubba Blubba was defeated he had his son, Grubba and opened up the MMA (Mario Martial Arts)

[@TheUltraBulbasaur]

I don't know why but Jolene and X scared the crap out of me. Just that eerie e-mail I'd always get and Jolene catching me when I was sneaking around. And the WORSt part was when I entered the Storage Room. I thought she was going to be in there or something...

[@Finkster5]

One of the few gamecube games I never traded it in. To this day, the only games I didn't get rid of were PM2, Windwaker and Rayman 3. =)

[@sysvjbjr]

@dottedboy yeah, although the first time playing thru, u dont have any clue that grubba is the chapter villain until the end, but tubba blubba is mentioned constantly

[@MrBowserPuffi]

Macho Grubba and Tubba Blubba are both members of the Clubba species. If I tried to say that out loud my tongue would've gone on strike.

[@catuse167]

That would be a good idea. Like maybe in hard mode, every Goomba would be a Gloomba, every Wizzerd would be an Elite Wizzerd, every Crayzee Dayzee would be a Legendary Amazy Dayzee, etc. That would be cool!

[@Zomby_Goast]

Attack boosts combined with Yoshi's groundpound are a godsend in this battle.

[@SuperScootz]

This was such an awesome game!!!!!!!!! I remember playing it for the first time and being amazed at how epic and awesome a mario RPG was (this was my first mario RPG) it made me get into the series and ive played all the paper marios lol they're all awesome but IMO this was the best one!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BWING224]

used charge about 10x with Goombella and stalled with mario then multibonk....he was done in about 5 minutes

[@dimentiorules]

This guy has to be one of the most evil Mario villains ever, right up there with the Shadow Queen and Dimentio. I mean, he sucked the life out of people just to give himself eternal youth!

[@Tutajkk50]

@eltsoldier Tubba Blubba and Grubba are based on Spike from SMB3. Spikes also appeared in other games like Yoshi's Island or NSMB Wii.

[@CommanderBroShep]

For some reason when Macho does the whole "MACHO GRUBBA" thing I always say "NACHOOOOOOOOO!!!" like from Nacho Libre. I have no idea why.

[@krakelakclassic]

I just noticed that he's basically a big orange penguin with a spiky shell and super Saiyan hair

[@Team_Orchid]

Macho Grubba always dresses in style.

[@MarioMastar]

Actually, in a sense, All the crystal stars have something to do with thier boss: Diamond: Hooktail is giant and stomps on you Emerald: Crump uses a timer to blow up the tree Topaz: As you said, powers up Ruby: Doopliss's power to change anything is similar to how art transforms things Sapphire: Cortez constantly revives himself during battle, though the Star heals a lot. Garnet: The real one is hidden, otherwise stopping normal adventures. Crystal: The X-nauts unleash lots of power.

[@dwbm85]

I could imagine this quote getting thrown around: "I pity the fool with the 'stache and red hat!"

[@Tawp64]

After listening to Monkey Ball and Earthbound VGMs, you totally forget about Paper Mario VGMs which will always remain excellent.

[@A2ZOMG]

Honestly this game is among the best of best RPGs. If you're looking for a game with a solid battle system, an extremely good overworld to explore, and a great storyline/characters, it's very difficult to beat this game. Probably its only real downfall is being on the easy side, but I can't think of any other RPG that comes close in terms of how well the mechanics were designed.

[@XFudgeox]

my fav boss in paper mario history.. and an amazing song :D

[@elephanturkeymelt]

I shrunk him with the mini-eggs, and when he tried to get bigger he was still smaller then Mario! LOL

[@Hysteria98]

The ampunt of times i've copied data on Nintendo games to new files just before bosses, just to hear their awesome themes..... this. was the most commonly played. Epic soundtrack to 1 of the weirdest games ever made, which surprisingly was utterly epic too.

[@TheRealityJack]

I love this game... beat it several times. When I first played this, it was so amazing! Every chapter had some other surprises, and although they all had some boring and long parts, they were all great! My favourite single player gamecube game!

[@Playstriker32]

Anyways, that's what specializes in ground-only units. But back to topic: Goombella deals a total of 9 damage ASSUMING the opponent has no defense to block any damage you wasted 3 points of your Mario Mana onto. If you did what I did and upgraded your partners with badges, your Yoshi actually gets a better bargain than Goombella for it. He will pull of 3 damage of Goombella's Headbonk's 2.

[@HandsDown1001]

Dis one of the tightest beatz in da game.

[@TheFinishSign]

[@Kisamefishfry]

Macho Grubba may be macho, but he cannot stop THE RAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWK!!!

[@ziqi92]

this was the best chapter of paper mario 2 next to chapter 6. i like the whole mystery and espionage/rescue mission style of those chapters.

[@MarioMastar]

Well, in Sticker Star's defense, most of the bosses weren't actually evil, just corrupted by the Royal Stickers. You're only fighting them to "save" them or the realm in the case of Gooper Blooper. Bowser and Goomba are the only ones who actively abuse the power. and Super Paper Mario....yeah, the non-Bleck bosses didn't have much to do with the main story, but mostly their own mini stories. I think Bonechill is the only real "out of nowhere" boss though, and Fracktail WAS a bit forced.

[@DivaGirlMags]

Oh yeah I did realize he was like Tubba Blubba but he probably did want to do it again strangely in the same place in the game.

[@MrFaronheit]

Yeah! I love Grubba, and Tubba Blubba, and the rest of the Clubbas!

@ultementnuma Huge thumbs up. I replay this game so often just to get to this chapter and have a long drawn out battle with Grubba.

[@TubaBluba789]

damn you grubba, you have a better theme than me

[@VooBopo]

Am I the only one who hated Grubba more than any of the main villains? Because I grew so attached to Glitzville, the Pit, and the people there. Not only that, but I felt completely betrayed, because I once trusted him. It felt much more personal battling Grubba than anyone else in the game. Crystal Star wasn't my top priority. Instead, it was saving the Pit, avenging the fighters, and making him taste defeat. ... Also, I mean all that in a good way. Grubba's one of the best game villains ever!

[@krakelakclassic]

@DarkT769 I think he means that the third boss in paper mario 1 and 2 were both clubbas, but in paper mario 3 the third boss is francis.

[@6thhokagephil]

This song plays whenever Harrison Ford has to take a serious shit.

[@ClearButterfly23]

Macho Grubba reminds me alot of Tubba Blubba from paper mario 1 :)

[@SuperScootz]

I TOTALLY agree with you on that one dude!!!

[@Playstriker32]

Since the first Paper Mario ever, it took some time for it to adjust from 8-bit tunes to epic adventure-worthy musics. But yet there IS some traces of it at work being dynamic in Paper Mario though. And some people who don't know the series gamut to begin with think this is too much rock 'n roll, piano, drum, viola and etc. in the first place! But PHEH, for whoever needs them, doesn't need to be a friend of mine? >:C It indeed is "perfect". For this game AND Mario franchise's in particular! :D

[@bagpussxoxo]

goombella is the best partner in the game because its fun using tattle to fill up the tattle log with enemy info. sort of like a pokedex

[@sporepics]

@TheDrunkMexicans I didn't say the music was terrible, I just pointed out something, I like every single theme in the paper mario series!

[@applepi314root]

[@Playstriker32]

You couldn't have described charging and surging with increased chaotic cosmic power any better. The sounds, motivations, persona, even the fact that Grubba was powerless at first despite his original form to still be... formidable for combat. And to think fighting Rawk Hawk with a cheering crowd to determine the winner of the [fraud by long gone known] Crystal Star champion's belt was the needs, but then Nintendo cunning bent the rules and had no audience for Grubba, making it mysterious... ;D

[@1bluebellfae]

they all say Macho Grubba is really tough will all of his Hp and all that. well....if you got the right badges and the right equipment, you should be fine.
