'''Vim''' is the life force of the [[Toad (species)|Toad species]]. When extracted from Toads, Vim resembles a green liquid with transparent images of sad Toad spirits; the Toad itself withers away and dies without its vim.

It is unknown if vim is unique to Toads, or if other fungal species such as [[Goomba]]s or [[Amanita]]s possess vim as well. Considering the fact that "vim" merely refers to a Toad's life force, it is even possible that non-fungal species of the [[Mushroom World]] contain vim in addition to their life-giving fluids, such as blood. Vim has only ever been referred to in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', in Partners in Time, a species of alien fungi known as the [[Shroobs]] harvested the vim from the Toads to convert into fuel. They did not target any other species, so this could indicate only the Toads possess vim, or at least the only type of vim that is usable by the Shroobs, which may or may not have vim flowing in their own bodies. In Bowser's Inside Story, when Bowser got a back-ache, he asked [[Starlow|Starlow or "Chippy"]] to do something about it. When Mario and Luigi meet up with [[Toadsworth]] in the [[Lumbar Nook]], Toadsworth explains that to heal Bowser's back, they have to drill into it. He then wishes them to have the upmost ''vim'' and vigor, which suggests that humans could possibly have vim too.

==History==
===''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''===
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the extraterrestrial Shroobs conquered the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] of the past, and abducted many Toads so that their vim could be extracted and converted into fuel for their 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. 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 that 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 contained within its body. Flying saucers would attach to Swiggler, which would then transfer the fuel into the ships.

[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] put an end to the operation by destroying the Shroobs, the giant vim-sucking tree, and the Swiggler inside the Vim Factory. It was eventually discovered that baby tears reverted the damage done by the Shroobs, and since at least one of the vim-sucked Toads, [[Toadiko]], was later seen alive and healthy, it is assumed that the tears restored the life force to all the victimized Toads.

-'''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.

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.
