Tubba's Heart is the sentient heart ofTubba Blubba removed byBowser and hidden in theWindy Mill. After having his heart removed, Tubba Blubba became invincible, the heart controlling the body as if he were a puppet. However,Mario discovers the heart, and the two battle. It is the first half of Chapter 3's boss inPaper Mario.
Tubba's Heart has only two attacks: one in which it dashes into Mario, and another in which it swarms Mario with heart tissue to deduct 12HP if not avoided, though the latter requires a turn tocharge up, givingBow the opportunity to useOutta Sight on Mario.
When the heart's HP reaches 5 or lower, itruns away from Mario and escapes the underground chambers of Windy Mill. When it reaches the surface, it sees Tubba Blubba outside and reunites with him. Tubba Blubba eats his heart and becomes vulnerable with his heart inside his body.
Tubba's Heart is seen in theparade after Mario beats Bowser, chasing its body with threeBoos carrying Tubba Blubba away.
The fur on Tubba's Heart resembles that ofSluggy the Unshaven's heart.
