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.

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.  

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.

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.

 

 

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.

Princess Shroob makes a cameo appearance next to the Elder Princess Shroob during the optional boss fight of the Shroobs in [[Bowser's Castle]], unlike in the original game, only the Elder Princess Shroob is barely seen.<ref>{{cite|author=Sleepant|date=January 23, 2019|title=Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story 3DS - Shroobs Boss|url=youtu.be/B0k43ie3vdk|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=February 9, 2024}}</ref> Princess Shroob is also mentioned in the Shroobs' profile from the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode.

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.

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.
