'''Shrooba Divers''' are enemies that appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', where they are found in the [[Gritzy Desert]]. They are green [[Shroob]]s with white spots that wear scuba masks and oxygen tanks, and have the ability to "swim" in sand. Their name is a pun on "Shroob" and "scuba diver". Shrooba Divers try to ambush Mario and Luigi by surfacing under them in the overworld. They are fought alone or in pairs, and also appear alongside [[Pokey]]s and [[Bob-omb]]s.
 
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', while Mario and Luigi battle the Shroobs, some frozen Shrooba Divers are seen in the background.


In battle, Shrooba Divers employed a variety of attacks and techniques to defeat their opponents. First, a Shrooba Diver digs in the sand and pull out various objects to harm the Mario brothers with. A Shrooba Diver may pull out a [[Spiny Egg]] and toss it at the Mario brother. This attack can be [[Jump|jumped]] over. The hand it throws it with determines which brother will get hit. Occasionally, the green Shroob would pull out a [[Blurp]]. These [[????|Blurp-like creature]]s from [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|the previous game]] bounce, meaning the fish would flop right over the Mario brother's head, which can fake out the Mario brother. Secondly, a Shrooba Diver could tunnel under the sand (indicating which brother it is going to attack beforehand), leap out, then dive into a Mario brother. This attack could be countered with a [[Hammer]]. Lastly, a Shrooba Diver would try to swim into a brother. This can be countered with a jump attack.

Shrooba Divers are enemies that appear in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, where they are found in the Gritzy Desert. They are green Shroobs with white spots that wear scuba masks and oxygen tanks, and have the ability to "swim" in sand. Their name is a pun on "Shroob" and "scuba diver". Shrooba Divers try to ambush Mario and Luigi by surfacing under them in the overworld. They are fought alone or in pairs, and also appear alongside Pokeys and Bob-ombs.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, while Mario and Luigi battle the Shroobs, some frozen Shrooba Divers are seen in the background.

Battle[edit]

Shrooba Divers raise their hand and spin as they tunnel under the sand, leaping out to try and dive into Mario or Luigi; Baby Mario and Baby Luigi must counter this attack with the hammer. The Shrooba Diver raises its right hand for Mario, and its left for Luigi. Shrooba Divers can also swim through the sand towards one of the Bros. and circle back towards the other from behind; the attack can be dodged and countered by jumping, and can trip Mario or Luigi if it hits them.

Occasionally, the Shrooba Divers may jump and dive into the sand, then pull out an object to throw at the Bros.; objects thrown with the right hand target Mario, while objects thrown with the left target Luigi. They can pull out either a circular cactus or a Sand Cheep. The cactus must be dodged by jumping, while the Sand Cheep bounces overhead and will damage the Bros. if they jump into it. Shrooba Divers take critical damage from the Ice Flower Bros. Item, and may drop a Super Mushroom or Blue Pepper upon defeat.
