Yoob is a giant Yoshi-like creature created by the Shroobs that appears in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. He starts out as a large magenta and green egg on Yoshi's Island, where it becomes an attraction that tourists can see for five coins. When Yoob hatches from the egg, he begins to eat all of the Yoshis in the surrounding village.
History
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
Yoob is first seen in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time after he discovers a group of Yoshis still hiding from him on Yoshi's Island. He quickly eats all of them when they try to run away, including Yoshi and Kylie Koopa, although Kylie is quickly spat out. Yoob then leaves the area, though he is later seen eating and spitting out Kamek after the quartet find him on the island. After the adult and baby Mario Bros. defeat Kamek and corner Baby Bowser at the cliff, Yoob climbs to where they are, and two Shroob saucers appear and enlarge him. Yoob then proceeds to eat Baby Bowser, Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi.
Once inside Yoob's Belly, the group (except Baby Bowser) helps some of the previously swallowed Yoshis move forward in Yoob's stomach by pushing a Chomp Rock, which clears a path that lets them walk through Yoob's intestines. They then discover that part of Yoob's Belly is a factory for trapping Yoshis. The factory, maintained by RC Shroobers, stores Yoshis in eggs, then places them on a conveyor belt that takes them to Sunnycide. The group helps the Yoshis push the Chomp Rock away, then find Toadbert, who has forgotten everything that happened after he traveled back in time, but is still taking care of some trapped Yoshis. Toadbert tells them that Sunnycide is guarding the exit, and they go to confront it. Sunnycide uses the eggs in battle, and likewise, the heroes can free the Yoshis by breaking the eggs. Eventually, they defeat Sunnycide, and everyone, including the Yoshis, Toadbert, and Baby Bowser, escapes Yoob through the digestive tract, while Yoob seems to stop functioning altogether.
If Mario and Luigi return to Yoshi's Island, they can find Yoob's inactive body still on the cliffside. They are able to re-enter Yoob as they wish, though they must exit through the digestive tract again.
Although Yoob's first cutscene where he spits out both Kylie Koopa and Kamek seems to imply that he doesn't like Koopas and only intends to eat the Yoshis, this is contradicted a few times afterward. He has no issue eating Baby Bowser and the Mario Bros. after turning giant, and the Dry Bones that are found in his belly imply that he does in fact eat Koopa Troopas.
Super Mario-kun
In the Super Mario-kun, Yoob appears in volume 36. Unlike in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Yoob originally was just a giant, carefree, friendly Yoshi who is gluttonous. He is used as a vessel for Sunnycide, as Sunnycide takes control of the giant Yoshi and turns him into a Yoob. After the brothers get eaten, they defeat Sunnycide inside, which reverts the Yoob to his normal state. The giant Yoshi then eats the Cobalt Star Shards, which causes the brothers to panic, and ends the chapter. They manage to get the shards out of him.
General information
Physical appearance
Yoob resembles a magenta Yoshi, except he is much larger and fatter (and gets even bigger when the Shroobs zap it), has black spines, a black saddle, blue shoes, a green underbelly, black irises, red pupils, and pincers for hands. Yoob bears a loose resemblance to Barney the Dinosaur, the host of the educational children's programs Barney & The Backyard Gang and Barney & Friends. As a matter of fact, a Nintendo Power issue predating the release of Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time mentioned the similarities in a pre-release screenshot of the game.[citation needed]

Trivia
- When the babies dig underground or attack with the hammer inside Yoob's Belly, Yoob can be seen wincing in pain on the top screen. He also does this when the babies open a part in his belly by hammering buttons and when the Yoshis roll the Chomp Rock down his stomach, creating a path through his insides. This stops after Sunnycide is defeated.
- In the original version of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, an enemy named Fawful Guy has an attack where it is eaten and turned into a discolored Yoshi egg by an off-screen creature, whose roar is identical to Yoob's.
