Editing Vim

'''Vim''' is the mushroom life force of the [[Toad (species)|Toad species]]. Without their vim, Toads cannot live. Although vital to the survival of the Toad species, vim has never been referred to in [[Mario]]'s adventures; not until ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. In this game, the extraterrestrial [[Shroobs]] conquered the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] of the past. During the invasion, many Toads were abducted so their vim could be extracted and converted into fuel for the Shroobs' flying saucers.

Captured Toads were taken to the [[Toadwood Forest]] and attached to special bio-engineered trees. These trees could actually suck the vim out of Toads, slowly killing the mushroom people. A Toad drained of vim would die and be discarded  so that another Toad's vim could be drained. Once drained, the vim would then travel through the roots of the trees to the [[Vim Factory]] located in the middle of the forest. A giant tree sat in the middle of the factory, absorbing the vim and sending the solution through pipes to another area of the factory. The pipes led to the lair of [[Swiggler]], a bio-mechanical [[Wiggler]] that had the ability to convert vim into fuel for [[Shroob Saucer]]s with special chemicals located inside its body. Once converted, flying saucers would attach to Swiggler, transferring the fuel into the ships.

Fortunately, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] put an end to this sick operation by destroying the Shroobs, the giant vim-sucking tree, and the hideous Swiggler inside the Vim Factory.

Whether the Toads were able to have their vim returned to them at the end of Mario and Luigi's adventure is unknown.

Hello and thank you for contacting Nintendo,

I'm afraid there isn't an answer to your question about Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Nintendo excels at making sure our fans can get backstory information, character descriptions, and--most importantly--the information they require to complete the games that we publish. This can happen through our website (www.nintendo.com), Player's Guides, and Nintendo Power magazine.

Having said that, many details about our games will remain mysteries, left to the active imagination of the player.

Sincerely,

Nintendo of America Inc.



Vim, when extracted from Toads, resembles a green liquid with transparent images of sad Toad spirits.

It is unknown if vim is unique to Toads or if it exists in all fungus-based species, like [[Goombas]], [[Amanitas]] and even the [[Shroobs]] themselves. It is also possible that other species, such as [[Koopa Troopa]]s, contain vim; and even [[human]]s might have it, considering that the word "vim" is merely a word for "liveliness".

-'''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.
