More about Gus...
Games: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
 
Gus is a member of the ill-fated Robbo Gang, which by far plays second fiddle to the Pianta Syndicate in Rogueport of The Thousand-Year Door.  He stands guard on the path leading to the Trouble Center, in back of which is the Robbo Gang's HQ.  He'll only let you pass if you pay him - or beat him up.  Potentially he can be your second battle of the game, after only the easy battle against Lord Crump.  If you fight him at this point, given your low level he's actually one of the most dangerous fights in the game.  But it can be won.  Goombella is useless now since she can only headbonk and, with his spear, he is considered spiked, so put her up front and have her defend.  Mario should use hammer attacks from the back, but beware: he's not safe from attack just because he's in back, as Gus can throw his spear.  If you don't trust your blocking skills you'd better buy a Mushroom or two from the shop before challenging him.

Once defeated, Gus abandons his post for good and you're free to travel to and from the Travel Center.  He'll spend the rest of the game in the Robbo HQ complaining about the trashing you gave him.
