- Not to be confused with Poison Mushroom.
Shroob mushrooms are light-purple mushrooms with white spots that appear in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. The Shroobs have the ability to fire purple energy bolts from their saucers that turn whatever they hit into Shroob mushrooms; Toadiko, Toadbert, Kylie Koopa, and Baby Bowser are all shown to suffer this fate. Characters who turn into Shroob mushrooms are said to be Shroobified.[1] These victims are all reverted when Professor E. Gadd spreads a baby tear-like liquid from the Hydrogush 4000 across the past-era Mushroom Kingdom (in a process that Stuffwell describes as being able to re-Toadify them,[2] even if not all of them are Toads). Some Shroobs are also shown to turn into these purple mushrooms when defeated, such as the Elder Princess Shroob. When Princess Shroob is disguised as Princess Peach, she has a Shroob mushroom attached to her face. Shroob mushrooms have been rarely able to speak, such as after the Elder Princess Shroob gets defeated. Shroob mushrooms of various shapes and sizes are also seen growing in areas that are controlled by the Shroobs, such as the conquered Toad Town and Shroob Castle. These mushrooms have pink spots instead of white ones.
In Super Mario-kun, both princesses are shrunk into two Shroob mushrooms by the babies' tears, though their eyes are retained and they are still able to talk in this form. Despite this, only the Elder Princess Shroob's mushroom is present in the next chapter.
