The '''Vim Factory''' is located in [[Toadwood Forest]], which is part of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. The factory was created by the [[Shroobs]] during their raid on the Mushroom Kingdom. The Shroobs discovered that the "[[vim]]" created by Toads could be combined with chemicals to produce the fuel needed to operate much of the Shroob technology.

Created before the [[Princess Peach]] of the present arrived in the past, the Vim Factory was a crucial part of the invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom. Greatly looming over the forest, the Factory turned the entire Toadwood Forest into a vim gathering machine. The Shroobs found a way to make the trees grab Toads and hold them tight, sucking out their vim as they did so. These trees could be related to the large, ominous tree that was inside the Vim Factory, although this was never confirmed.

[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] first came to the factory when they were infants (referred to as [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]]), riding on the backs of their older selves, who had come from the future to save Princess Peach. They were able to use their small size and hammers to help their older selves out of several jams, including the Factory's security system, which held them tightly in the large tree's nostrils.

Protecting the factory were two 1337-speaking [[Hammer Bros.]] who's minds were being controlled by the antennae put on them by the Shroobs. The babies were able to save them from their fate as slaves. There were also hoards of new enemies, including [[Dr. Shroob|Dr. Shroobs]]. The Shroobs had enlisted a nasty [[Wiggler]]-like Shroob named [[Swiggler]], who transported the fuel to the Shroob's UFOs.  wiggler was also a guardian of a piece of the Cobalt Star.

Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi in Vim Factory
Inside the factory.

The Vim Factory in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time is located in the center of Toadwood Forest. Its main purpose is to extract "Vim" from Toads for the Shroobs to use as an energy source. The factory is powered by Toads strapped to trees. Protecting the factory are two Hammer Bros., whose minds are being controlled by Shroobs through helmets. The Hammer Bros. kidnap Mario and Luigi upon the bros. arrival. After Baby Mario and Baby Luigi defeat them, these Hammer Bros. teach them how to use a hammer in return. The babies then rescue Mario and Luigi from the tree in the middle of the factory. Swiggler is the main boss of the Vim Factory and the guardian of the second piece of the Cobalt Star; it transports the fuel to the Shroob saucers. Upon defeating it, however, Baby Bowser arrives and takes both the shard from Swiggler and the one the bros. already got back in Baby Bowser's Castle.
