'''Princess Shroob''' is the main antagonist of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. She is second-in-command of the alien race known as the [[Shroob]]s (her [[Elder Princess Shroob|older twin sister]] is the leader), although initially it appears that she is their leader, since the elder Princess Shroob was absent, trapped in the [[Cobalt Star]] by [[Princess Peach]]. She and her sister set off a full invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom to make it their own.

Line 24: Line 24:
After the Mario Bros. assemble the rest of the scattered shards of the Cobalt Star, they eventually go through a Shroobified Peach's Castle. At the top of the highest tower, they hijack a Shroob Battleship and engage Princess Shroob aboard the Shroob Mother Ship, eventually downing it. After they return downstairs to examine the wreckage alongside Princess Peach, a furious Princess Shroob descends from the wreckage on a floating throne, declaring Peach useless and moving to finish the group off and take over the kingdom, shouting "Destroy!" as the Bros. prepare to battle her.

Upon defeating her, Princess Shroob lies battered on the floor as Princess Peach and the quartet of Mario Bros. spot the almost-whole Cobalt Star floating into the room. Princess Peach reveals that she has the final shard, and that she cannot let it be reassembled, confusing the adult Mario Bros.; [[Baby Bowser]] suddenly ambushes the group and snatches the shard, assembling the Cobalt Star despite Peach's protests. Princess Shroob then crawls into view, shouting that it is her sister's turn to defeat them now before her eyes go dim and she explodes in a burst of sparks; the Cobalt Star then begins darting around the room before turning Baby Bowser into a [[Shroob Mushroom]], and Princess Peach reveals the truth about the Star just before Elder Princess Shroob regains her true form.

=====Battle=====
=====Battle=====
Princess Shroob starts the fight in her levitating throne, which will cause non-aerial attacks to miss. Her throne generates a forcefield that completely nullifies all damage, but can be slowly weakened with enough attacks, starting off blue before changing to green, yellow, and then red before shattering. The force field's durability is based off of the number of individual strikes rather than actual damage dealt, so multi-hitting attacks such as [[Copy Flower]]s and [[Trampoline]]s are effective.  
Princess Shroob starts the fight in her levitating throne, with a force field that can be destroyed by jumping attacks; the force field is used for attacks twice each turn, firing laser beams of varying heights. Shroob can also attack using mechanical limbs sprouting from the underside of throne as she advances over a pair of brothers, firing laser rings directly downwards that enclose them from the outside; the targets can dodge this attack by jumping over each ring, and being hit may inflict the [[Trip]]ped status. After the laser barrage, Princess Shroob uses the throne to try and crush the brothers directly, with the throne rising up and down three times before dropping onto the target pair; if she laughs afterward, the mech delays before dropping. The attack must be countered by the [[Hammer]], and being hit can render the target [[Dizzy]].


While in the forcefield, Princess Shroob has two attacks. The first is to shoot lasers at both of the Bros. at the same time. Depending on whether the laser gun is pointing up or down, Mario and Luigi must either jump or remain in place to avoid the lasers, which she shoots multiple times in one turn.
Once the Mario Bros. disable her forcefield, the throne is also disabled and re-activates after two turns, forcing Princess Shroob to attack more directly. During this phase, she uses a different set of attacks, teleporting around the arena while firing energy blasts at the Bros., with her arm gestures telegraphing which brother is the target; if she points straight forward, the star first attacks Mario; if she points downwards, it attacks Luigi. She can shoot a lone fast energy ball at one brother, stand in the middle of the room and shoot a storm of energy balls, or hover in the air and rain energy balls downwards; Princess Shroob can also launch an energy [[Star]] that encircles the arena, traveling faster and faster until it strikes a brother, which can cause [[POW-Down|random]] [[DEF-Down|stat]] [[SPD-Down|decreases]], or is stomped on. It can also alter its speed to catch the group off-guard.
Princess Shroob can also attack using mechanical limbs sprouting from the underside of her throne. She will jump right above one of the Bros. and proceed to shoot multiple laser rings straight downward that enclose on the Bro targeted. The Bro must jump over each ring as it encloses, and the lasers could cause the [[Trip]] status effect. After the laser rings, Princess Shroob uses the throne to try and crush the Bro directly, which can be countered with the hammer as the throne comes down. If Princess Shroob cackles before landing on the Bro, she will stall for a bit before landing on them, which can throw off the player's counter.


Once the Mario Bros. disable her forcefield, her throne crashes to the floor and Princess Shroob is forced to attack on foot, making her vulnerable to ground attacks again. During this phase, she uses two different attacks. One is summoning a star projectile that encircles the arena, which the Bros. must jump over. Princess Shroob will telegraph with her hand who the star will target next, and the star will travel faster and faster around the arena until a Bro is hit, or if they can successfully jump on the star to destroy it. This attack can cause random stat decreases, such as [[POW-Down]], [[DEF-Down]] and [[SPD-Down]]. Princess Shroob can also teleport randomly around the room, firing various energy balls at the Bros:
All of her energy ball attacks can inflict [[Poison (status effect)|Poison]] if they hit, and can be safely stomped on; the overhead energy ball must be countered with the hammer, while all the other types can be dodged by jumping, with the energy ball storm requiring each pair to jump one after the other. Once Princess Shroob has lost half of her health, she begins to glow red, attacking more frequently and with more power.
 
* If she spawns in front of a Bro, she will fire a single energy ball at that Bro which must be jumped over.
* If she spawns in the center of the arena, she will launch a wave of energy balls which both Bros. must jump over.
* If she spawns on the top screen, she will launch an energy ball straight down, which can be countered with the hammer; If she throws with her right hand, it will target Mario, the left hand will target Luigi.
 
All of her energy ball attacks can inflict [[Poison (status effect)|Poison]] if they hit, and can be safely stomped on. After 2 turns, the throne will repair itself and the forcefield will be reactivated. Once Princess Shroob has lost half of her health, she begins to glow red, indicating increases in both her speed and power. She will also begin to attack multiple times in one turn.

==General information==
==General information==
===Physical appearance===
Compared to other Shroobs, Princess Shroob has a tall, human-like build, though keeping their general face features and two-fingered hands. Her mushroom cap has another, smaller one on top, looking like a bun hairstyle; the spot in the middle has the shape of a crown and a round black jewel on it. She also has large white lips and often carries a metal chalice with two horn-like protuberances at the base and round red gems around it. She wears a magenta dress similar to Peach's, with slightly darker panniers and a large high collar; the hem and the sleeves have a lighter swirl pattern, while on her chest is an oval shaped brooch with a black gem and a silver ring around it. She also wears small, round green earrings and long white gloves. She is also frequently seen holding a blue and yellow microphone with a visibly broken cable.
===Powers and abilities===
===Powers and abilities===
As the commander of the Shroobs and one of the final bosses of ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', Princess Shroob is powerful and she often uses the Shroob army to her needs. By herself, she demonstrates various energy abilities, such as throwing energy balls, flying, and controling stars in her boss battle. Princess Shroob also shows technological skills via the use of her throne. In addition, she can disguise herself as Princess Peach to fool the characters, despite the disguise having a Shroob mushroom on her face.

===Personality===
===Personality===
As the primary antagonist of ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', Princess Shroob is a militant conqueror and is shown to be highly aggressive (e.g. shooting down the Koopa Cruiser), though most of her dialogue is undecipherable. In addition, the Shroob race acts as her loyal subordinates, serving her drinks and always following her commands. She is determined to go to any extent to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom, including attacking the Toad race, destroying their homes, and draining the life force of its citizens, known as vim. Furthermore, she takes sadistic enjoyment in the suffering of her enemies, as demonstrated by her act of feeding Princess Peach to Petey Piranha before an audience of Shroobs.

In addition, the Shroob race acts as her loyal subordinates, serving her drinks and always following her commands. She is also willing to go to any length to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom, going as far as attacking Toad Town and draining its citizens of their vim. She also takes revenge on Peach for capturing her twin sister and imprisoning her in the Cobalt Star by capturing her, then planning on feeding Peach to Petey Piranha in front of a Shroob audience.


It is unclear whether or not Princess Shroob cares for her older sister; she did not attempt to rebuild the Cobalt Star the Elder Princess Shroob was trapped in, and referred to the Mushroom Kingdom as belonging to her rather than her sister.
It is not entirely confirmed whether or not she cares for her older sister, as she did not attempt to rebuild the Cobalt Star and she referred to the Mushroom Kingdom as belonging to hers rather than her sister's.
