'''Shun''' is a member of the [[Extension Corps]] under [[Zokket]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]''. His name is derived from the third syllable of "extension", referring to extension cords, with [[Ecks]] and [[Ten]]'s names coming from the other two. He is a stout, turquoise ruffian whose body resembles a DVI connector, with a yellow-lipped mouth on his chest.<ref>https://www.ndw.jp/marioluigirpg-bs-interview-241224</ref> A running gag in the game has Shun constantly interrupted and outspoken by Ecks and Ten, with his name also acting as a pun in English on how he tends to be shunned by the other two members of the trio.

During the preparation for [[Chilliam]] and [[Burnadette]]'s wedding, Shun poorly disguises himself as a merchant and gives [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] alternate instructions to prepare the cake and flower crown. He tells them to get a cake from [[Lottacoins Island]] and find a rare flower from [[Raynforst Island]]. The brothers have the option to either follow these new instructions or ignore him, sticking with the original plan of getting the cake from [[Slippenglide Island]] and hiring an artist from [[Florall Island]]. If the Bros. go to Raynforst Island, Shun sabotages the flowers he advertised as a merchant and sends [[Spike Zok Trooper]]s to fight them. If they go to Lottacoins Island, they discover that Ecks ate the cake they needed and fight the [[Zokkarang Trooper]]s accompanying him.

When the Bros. arrive at the third Great Lighthouse, Shun will step forward to face them and prove that he is the "livest wire" of the Extension Corps. He summons [[Pipegunk]] to attack them and assists it from the background; when it is defeated, he too flees and rejoins the Extension Corps elsewhere.

During the battle against the [[Pipegunk]], Shun appears in the backdrop of the stage and cannot be targeted. He uses his remote to rotate the stage into the Magma Area, which changes Pipegunk's appearance to resemble magma and gives it a significant defense boost, then jumps off-screen for a number of turns. When Shun eventually reappears, Luigi can engage in a tug of war with him through [[Luigi Logic]] to steal the remote; if successful, he throws Shun into the lava and incapacitates him. If Luigi chooses to move from the Magma Area immediately into the Ice Area, Pipegunk takes 300 HP of damage and becomes stunned, vulnerable to critical attacks. After a number of turns, Shun gets back up to shout and jump off-screen again. If Luigi chooses to move the stage from the Magma Area into the Normal Area, Pipegunk returns to its regular form and its defense returns to normal; when Shun gets back up, he shouts angrily and immediately switches the stage into the Ice Arena, buffing Pipegunk before he jumps off-screen again. He will continue to alternate the stage between the two areas (while pausing in the Normal Area to allow Pipegunk to acclimate) until Pipegunk is defeated.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgx-3ZaBBWg</ref> If Luigi selected the Normal Area once and then incapacitates Shun a second time, [[Snoutlet]] will suggest swapping to the opposite side while Shun exclaims not to make sudden temperature changes as Pipegunk is "delicate", hinting to swap between the Magma and Ice Areas. During the battle against [[Glohm Pipegunk]], this role is performed by a dark version of Shun; this change is purely cosmetic and does not affect the gameplay.

 

Shun later reveals that the Extension Corps also have their own [[Battle Plug]]s:

*The three start off with the HUUUGE Iron Ball plug, causing iron balls to fall on a Bros' head if they take damage, which must be repelled with hammer. The plug will sometimes cause iron balls to drop above the Extension Corps as well.

*The final and last resort is the Invincible plug, causing the trio to become invincible for one turn before an explosion erupts from each of them. The explosion can have its damage reduced or negated with [[Guard|Emergency Block]] or the Protectus or Notdroppin plugs, and can be avoided entirely with a [[Boo Biscuit]], but it cannot be dodged.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCCXkpFDUsA</ref> Should the Bros. survive the explosion, the Extension Corps will then be defeated.
