Grubba creates a good-natured facade to mask and distract his concealed motivations that benefit himself at the expense of others. While on public and promoting the Glitz Pit, Grubba shows his public image: friendly and passionate about his life's work. ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' hints that Grubba's obsession with his image develops as a result of his fame. Originally, he had not cared about glitz and glamor, though later in life, Grubba feels nostalgic about what he once was and wants to relive those days, despite the costs. Despite this emotional transformation, Grubba retains an air of good sportsmanship throughout his life. Grubba encourages his fighters and did not mask his excitement for rising stars such as Mario. Even as he lay defeated, he commends Mario for a good fight. Due to the unethical use of the power-draining machine, this causes Grubba to keep the usage a secret and he uses the machine to his advantage to continue keeping it concealed. As [[Goombella]] realizes as soon as she met Grubba, he is a "super-greasy smooth talker" and not necessarily trustworthy, even while he maintains his facade. | Grubba creates a good-natured facade to mask and distract his concealed motivations that benefit himself at the expense of others.

Grubba | In the original Japanese text, Grubba incorporates English phrases into his speech using katakana; he refers to himself in first-person as 「ミー」 ("me") and to others in second-person as 「ユー」 ("you"), a trait commonly used by foreign characters in Japanese media. Grubba also incorporates English phrases into his dialogue in the French localization and in the Chinese localizations of the remake. In the English localization, Grubba speaks with mannerisms typical of the {{wp|Southern United States}}. | ||
Grubba also has a tendency to gossip or possibly make trash talking comments that he attributes to other fighters even if they never actually said such a thing. However, he has at least some respect for strong fighters, congratulating Mario when he defeats him. | Grubba also has a tendency to gossip or possibly make trash talking comments that he attributes to other fighters even if they never actually said such a thing.
