Some Toads infected by the Blorbs in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.
The Blorbs is a mysterious disease that appears in the events of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. The disease has spread all over the Mushroom Kingdom and infected the Toads. The Toads that have the illness are taken aback as they grow large and round. It is caused by Blorb Mushrooms that Fawful sold to the Toads, similar to how he sold the Vacuum Shroom to Bowser. (The Vacuum Shroom only makes the user's insides bigger, and gives the user an extremely powerful vacuum breath.) The entire case of the Blorbs is wiped out by the Miracle Cure, which was created after Mario and Luigi found and merged all three Star Cures.
Before the Miracle Cure eliminated the disease, Blorbed Toads block several areas in Toad Town. Once the disease is cured, these areas are opened up to the player. A large percent of the infected Toads, including the one seen in the cutscene at the beginning of the game, were kept in one of the rooms of Toadley Clinic.

Trivia
- The disease's English name is possibly a portmanteau of the words "blow" and "orb", given the fact that it causes those infected to blow to blimp size, and the victim ends up looking round, like an orb.
- Several of the Toads with the Blorbs include the word "Blorb" in their sentences, often with multiple "O"s being used.
- The Toad that gets the Blorbs at the beginning of the game is much bigger than the other Blorbed Toads seen throughout the game. Based on the fact that the damage to the house is seen later in the game and the same Toad is seen at the same size as the other Blorbed Toads in the clinic suggests that when the disease begins to take effect the victim is expanded to an enormous size before later shrinking down.
- Although the Blorbs are cured after Mario and Luigi use the power of the Miracle Cure, there is one Toad that still has a Blorb-like condition in Toad Town, saying that it is what he normally looks like. This was likely done due to the "blorbed" Toad being one of the hiding places used by the Toad kid during the hide-and-seek side quest.
