Shrowser is the only boss in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' that can only be defeated with counterattacks. He is also one of the few bosses in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series with this condition; the others include [[Ludwig|Ludwig von Koopa]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' and [[Thunder Sass]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. Because the brothers cannot attack during the fight, Shrowser cannot be targeted, and the name normally never appears in-game; however, it actually appears as a string in the ROM that is translated in some releases of the game.<ref name="hexedit">https://youtu.be/Yl28eQHFYn0{{dead link}}</ref>
While Bowser is possessed, he retains his normal appearance and personality, although with multiple signs of Elder Princess Shroob's influence; he flashes purple, has purple eyes, and has an afterimage effect and purple clouds around him. The music during the Shrowser battle is the same one used during the earlier battle against Bowser and [[Baby Bowser]].


In ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' [[Super Mario-kun Volume 37|volume 37]], [[Baby Bowser]] is possessed by the Elder Princess Shroob instead, in the very last chapter of the ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' arc. Unaware of what happened, he goes to Peach's Castle and find the shroom-ified Elder Princess Shroob and eats her, becoming possessed by her. Shrowser then meets with Baby Mario and Baby Luigi and attacks them. The babies are unable to attack Shrowser, but Baby Mario talks to Baby Bowser, telling him to not succumb to the Princess' control or he, as his rival, will never have the satisfaction of beating him. Moved by his words, Baby Bowser fights to expel the princess from his body, ending up defecating her and breaking free from her control, much to her humiliation.

==Battle==
==Battle==
As the battle starts, a purple aura emits from Shrowser and takes the form of the Elder Princess Shroob on the top screen. Shrowser then states that the Mario Bros. and their baby selves cannot perform any actions, such as attacking or using items. In order to defeat Shrowser, the quartet must [[jump]] over or [[hammer]] back several of the fiery projectiles that he continually spews at them; Bowser himself deflects any and all counterattacks away, causing them to hit the Elder Princess Shroob's spectral form instead. While Shrowser has a regular set of stats and targets like most other enemies and bosses, much of it is unused due to the battle's programming and the win condition established at the beginning;<ref name="hexedit"/> instead, the Mario Bros. and their baby counterparts must deplete the Elder Princess Shroob's health meter, which is represented by Shroob-like mushrooms on the top screen.

Shrowser's attacks can be countered by looking at the Elder Princess Shroob and her movement patterns. If she points with her right arm, Shrowser attacks Mario and Baby Mario; if she points with the left arm, Shrowser attacks Luigi and Baby Luigi. Depleting the Elder Princess Shroob's health meter requires jumping over the equivalent of 20 fireballs or more, hammering back the equivalent of 10 fire orbs or more, or some combination of the two. The Bros. and Baby Bros. must survive the entire round of counterattacks as well; even if the health meter is depleted, if they are all KOed before that turn of attacks ends, it still counts as a [[Game Over]]. Once successfully defeated, the Elder Princess Shroob finally disappears, causing Bowser to faint.
