Ack... I was unaware there was another article for this under a different name... Is it possible to delete this article? x.x - Akruru

Problem taken care of. Instead of deleting the article, we'll just redirect it to Shroobs. --son.of.suns@gmail.com 01:15, 30 April 2006 (EDT)

On the website mariomonsters.com I found these three images supposedly taken from Super Mario Galaxy and one of the creatures in one of the pics. shows a Shrooblet like creature, I just thought I would show the pic. here before doing anything with it. -- Sir Grodus

It looks like a cross between a Shroob, a Snifit, and Eggplant Man from Wrecking Crew. o.O The eyes, anyway. Looks very interesting, though. Monty Mole 20:01, 18 September 2006 (EDT)

Um... Mario and Luigi finished off the shroobs. It's impossible for them to return, by canonical sources. Max2 (talk) The Shroob Planet, maybe.

Oh yes they can!!!! Have you forgoten about Fawful expolding?!! The after-shock of the expolsion might have cracked,if not shattered,the Shroob's prisons in Bowser's cold storage!!!! Megabowser 11:24, 25 February 2010 (EST)

Some Shroobs could have survived if they were to be in some shelter during the anti-shroob rain

Leader Shrowser??

Since when was Shrowser a leader of the Shroobs? Mario JC

We never saw Shroobs reciving orders from shrowser,you're right,he isn't the leader of the shroobs.Count Bonsula I need blood...

Shroob Missile

Why aren't we making the Shroob Missile page. I did but someone just deleted it.

Because it is unofficial and it was a stub when you made it (according to the deletion log). Mario JC

Ice/Water, Shroobs don't like it

All types of shroobs have a critical hit when you use an ice flower. Also they are killed by water, in the end. Ice is frozen water. Shouldn't this fact be mentioned? RPG Gamer. I HAVE RPG!! (talk) 12:45, 1 April 2013 (EDT)

Infobox

Shouldn't we add the list of Shroobs in the infobox rather than listing their names down below? Other articles have their sub-species in a collapsible section so why should this be an exception? The RPG Gamer (talk) (edits) 23:48, 20 October 2016 (EDT)

shroob unicode

I only know a few glyphs. if anybody know what they are, put them in a font.

Dark Mario games FOR THE WIN!

Should we talk about how dark the Shroobs are in basic detail and not too much? I feel like it's worth mentioning more specifically. 19:11, 13 July 2017 (EDT)

No. Wiki policy specifically says to avoid such writing. 22:24, 13 July 2017 (EDT)

Toadsbert inside Yoob

The article says "They took Todiko to Toadwood Forest, and oddly enough, put Toadbert inside Yoob.'

That last part isn't entirely true. The Shroobs never put Toadbert in Yoob, after arriving in the time machine and Peach was captured, Toadbert somehow wound up on Yoshi's Island where he was eaten by Yoob. -75.179.18.235 12:42, 22 July 2017 (EDT)

The scene for context. The relevant lines: "One day I just woke up in the Yoshi's village. Then that huge lizard snarked us all down." I definitely agree that there's nothing to confirm the Shroobs deliberately placing Toadbert there. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 13:00, 22 July 2017 (EDT)

Already fixed it, just forgot to respond here. :) 13:01, 22 July 2017 (EDT)

Champiz

I would like to know if there was a source for the french canadian name of the Shroob Champiz because I'm pretty sure a french canadian version of the game in french doesn't exist...

Split between species and civilization?

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to split the generic Shroob species article and the article for their invasion forces as a whole, similar to what the articles for Bowser's Minions (formerly titled "Koopa Troop"), Kremling Krew, and X-Nauts (organization). While a majority of their forces are indeed Shroobs themselves, many are just vaguely Shroob-like in color or just alien counterparts to usual species.

Pretty sure this article used to cover a broad spectrum of Shroobs, basically making it a mix of talking about the common foot soldier and the species as a whole. An article covering the civilization as a whole doesn't sound like a terrible idea, could cover their technology and things they've either mutated or genetically created as well.

EDIT: Didn't realize this article still kinda does that. I mean I'd be on board with splitting the information about the species/civilization from the basic, garden variety Shroob. Tails777 Talk to me!

Can Shroob really be able to fight before Fawful Express and Memory ML?

The Mario brothers cannot be able to fight the Shroobs before Fawful Express and Memory ML, why? Because they need high jump, which is after Fawful Express and Memory ML! Please give me proof how Shroob can be battled before Fawful Express and Memory ML!NEMRISE1294 (talk) 20:12, May 30, 2024 (EDT)

The Prima Games guide says that in the walkthrough, the Shroobs are fought BEFORE Memory ML. Is the guide correct? 68.36.158.225 17:26, June 2, 2024 (EDT)

Apparently not, as I said in the Magifoofa talk page both sides require Balloon Mario to reach. Nightwicked Bowser 17:30, June 2, 2024 (EDT)
