'''Vim''', also known as '''mushroom power''', is the life force of [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. When extracted from Toads, vim resembles a green liquid, with slight yellow spots (as seen in the roots in the ground of the [[Toadwood Forest]]); in the [[Vim Factory]], translucent images of horrified Toad spirits are seen flowing through it. The name of vim is an informal English word referring to energy or enthusiasm of an individual.

The [[Shroob]]s conquer the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] of the past and abduct many Toads so that their vim can be extracted and converted into fuel for [[Shroob saucer|their saucers]].  Captured Toads are taken to the Toadwood Forest and are attached to special bio-engineered trees that slowly suck the vim out of them (Toads who are fully drained lose their coloration and cannot be interacted with). The vim then travels through the roots of the trees to the Vim Factory located in the middle of the forest. A giant tree sits in the middle of the factory, absorbing the vim and sending the solution through pipes that lead to the lair of [[Swiggler]], a bio-mechanical robot [[Wiggler]] that has the ability to convert vim into fuel for flying saucers with special chemicals contained within its body. The saucers attach to Swiggler, who then transfers the fuel into the ships.

When [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]] first visit the Toadwood Forest, [[Toadiko]] is being drained of her vim and her voice is weak. She tells them the story of what she, [[Princess Peach]], and [[Toadbert]] experienced when they landed in the past with [[Prof. E. Gadd's time machine|Professor E. Gadd's time machine]]. She manages to tell them all she knew before saucers begin shooting purple beams at the brothers, one hitting Toadiko and turning her into a [[Shroob mushroom|purple mushroom]], accidentally freeing her.

Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi destroy Swiggler, stopping it from powering up the saucers.

In the battle with the [[Elder Princess Shroob]], a saucer occasionally brings her a drink of vim, restoring either 120 or 80 of her [[Heart Point|HP]] depending on the version of the game.
