Prior to the encounter, the Elder Shrooboid captured [[Toadbert]] and [[Kylie Koopa]], stealing the [[Toad (species)|Toad's]] [[Cobalt Star]] shard. When the Mario Bros. arrive at the top of the shrine, Toadbert tries to reveal that the Cobalt Star was meant to trap [[Elder Princess Shroob]] inside, having Mario rub off the dirt on his strange sketch that he had made awhile beforehand to reveal two Princesses.

When the Mario Bros. arrive at the top of the shrine, Toadbert tries to reveal that the Cobalt Star was meant to trap [[Elder Princess Shroob]] inside, having Mario rub off the dirt on his strange sketch that he had made awhile beforehand to reveal two Princesses. He and Kylie Koopa are then turned into purple [[Shroob mushroom]]s by the Elder Shrooboid. Hoping to gather all the shards and awaken its leader, the Elder Shrooboid then attacks the Mario Bros. and their younger selves. Defeating the Elder Shrooboid rewards the Bros. with the fifth Cobalt Star shard and access to [[Shroob Castle]]. | ||

The Elder Shrooboid can also perform a spin attack similar to the Junior Shrooboid, which the Baby Mario Bros. must counter with their [[hammer]]s; the Elder Shrooboid continues trying to spin into the Bros. pairs repeatedly, requiring multiple counterattacks. The Elder Shrooboid can also throw [[fireball]]s much like [[Blazing Shroob]]s, and may shoot two fireballs at once; these can be dodged with well-timed jumps. | The Elder Shrooboid can also perform a spin attack similar to the Junior Shrooboid, which the Baby Mario Bros. must counter with their [[hammer]]s; the Elder Shrooboid continues trying to spin into the Bros. pairs repeatedly, requiring multiple counterattacks.

If attacked, the Elder Shrooboid will create a [[Spike Ball|spiked ball]] to throw towards the Mario Bros.; the ball circles around them, moving faster with each orbit, until it closes in on one of the Bros. to strike.

The ball can be deflected with the hammer, and may poison the target in addition to damaging them if it hits. Successfully countering sends the spiked ball flying into the air, causing the Elder Shrooboid to gasp and fall over from shock; in this state, it is vulnerable to jump attacks, and its defense is lowered. | ||
After seemingly defeating the Elder Shrooboid, it starts to shrink into nothingness, but then instantly grows to about twice its size and resumes the fight. In this state, its attacks are faster and more powerful, and the objects it uses are much bigger as well. Additionally, after becoming gigantic, the Elder Shrooboid pulls a [[Shroob saucer]] from its mouth; the saucer counts down from four turns before unleashing a massive energy blast, similar to the one encountered in the scripted battle against the Shroobs near the beginning of the game. Similar to that instance, the Mario Bros. automatically lose if the countdown reaches zero, but this time it is an instant [[Game Over]].<ref>Hill Cat (October 21, 2021).
