When Mario and Goombella see that in order to get the Crystal Star they need to get the champion’s belt from Rawk Hawk, they go to the only clubba that they think can help them. But they might be biting off more then they can chew when Grubba offers them a contract to sign...

Poor Unfortunate Soul (Paper Mario Edition)
(Talking)
Grubba: The only way to get what you want is to become a fighter yourself
Mario: Can you do that?
Grubba: My dear, sweet heroes, that's what I do
It's what I live for
To help unfortunate folks like yourself
Poor souls with no one else to turn to
(Singing)
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a cheat
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light, and now I’m sweet
True this
And I fortunately have a little venue
It's an arena that I happen to possess
And dear heroes, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed (Pathetic)
(Dramatic Singing)
Poor unfortunate souls
In pain, in need
This one longs to be a winner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my Glitz Pit
Crying, "Fame, Grubba, please!"
And I help them
Yes I do
Now it's happened once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
Yes I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls
(Spoken)
Grubba: Have we got a deal?
Bella: If we become fighters, we’ll be stuck here under contract.
Grubba: But you’ll have your belt.
Life's full of tough choices, idn't it?
Oh, and there is one more thing
We haven't discussed the subject of payment
Bella: But we don't have-
Grubba: I'm not asking much, just a token really, a trifle
What I want from you is your name
Mario: Our names? Whoa, whoa, whoa. What will my partners and I do?
Bella: Yeah, without our names, what are we supposed to-
Grubba: You'll have your stats, your power ups,
And don't underestimate the importance of stage presence, ha!
(singing)
The fans down there don’t like all that plot armor
They think a champ who can’t lose is a bore
Yes on stage it's much preferred for underdogs to set the score
After all man, what are protagonists for?
Come on, they're not all that impressed with goody two-shoes
