Using its antennae, an RC Shroober can control electronic devices that use radio waves. During the Shroob invasion of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], RC Shroobers were placed in command of the egg factory inside [[Yoob]]'s stomach. As such, RC Shroobers were presumably in charge of converting normal [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] into additional Yoobs. RC Shroobers also took pleasure in terrorizing the captured Yoshis inside Yoob's stomach. Thankfully, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]] shut down the [[egg]] operation and freed all the Yoshis imprisoned by the RC Shroobers.

In battle, an RC Shroober summons radio-controlled weapons with its antenna. First, an RC Shroober may summon a radio-controlled UFO. This flying saucer would hover over a Mario brother and beam him up, causing damage. To counter this attack, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi had to use their [[Hammers]] to knock the UFO down as their older counterparts were being beamed up, sending the flying saucer crashing into the RC Shroober.
'''RC Shroobers''' are enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. RC Shroobers are light blue [[Shroob]]s with purplish-pink spots that have radio antennae within their head.


RC Shroobers can also summon a radio-controlled mobile bomb. When summoned, this bomb would circle around the brothers, attempting to hit Mario and Luigi and explode. The two brothers could dodge this attack by jumping. If one of the bros. jumped on the bomb, it would malfunction and hit the RC Shroober. Eventually, the mobile bomb would explode on its own without hurting anyone. Additionally, if an RC Shroober jumps before summoning a mobile bomb, the little explosive will stall before starting on its circular path. Also, the direction the RC Shroober's antennae point before the attack indicates which Mario brother the robotic explosive will attempt to attack first.

History[edit]

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]

In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, RC Shroobers appear in Yoob's Belly, where they torment the Yoshis held there. They are usually seen with small robotic bombs in the overworld that they use to attack the Mario Bros., and normally fight in groups of two or three.

Two of the six Yoshis required to open the second area of Yoob's Belly are each being tormented by an RC Shroober, using their antennae to control a small machine scaring the Yoshi; each RC Shroober fights the Bros. and their baby selves alone once their machine is destroyed. One controls a robot bomb like the others encountered in the overworld, and Mario dispatches the robot with a press of the A Button button, causing the RC Shroober to attack him. The other controls a small UFO, and is behind a thick wall that blocks it and the Yoshi off. The baby Mario Bros. must Baby Drill under a set of bars to enter a nearby area with a fountain, then use the Baby Pump to shoot the moving UFO with water twice. This causes it to short circuit and then eventually explode, blowing a hole in the wall and allowing the four of them to enter and fight it. Defeating them saves the two Yoshis, who assist the others in moving the Chomp Rock that opens the next section.

During battle, RC Shroobers place their hands to their head and point their antennae in the direction of the Mario Bros., with the radio waves they produce pointing upward if Mario or Baby Mario is the first target, and downward if first targeting Luigi or Baby Luigi. The number of antennae used determines the device that they control, as shown in the overworld. The RC Shroobers use a single antenna to call the robotic bomb, which runs in a circle trying to ram each of the Bros.; the bomb explodes on contact if it hits, with the Shroober jumping and emitting an excited cackling noise. If they hop about before summoning the explosive, it stalls for a moment before attacking. The bomb can be dodged by jumping, and stomping the robot causes it to run towards the RC Shroober and explode, damaging it. If avoided long enough, the bomb eventually explodes harmlessly on its own. RC Shroobers use two antennae to call a small UFO that hovers over one of the Bros. pairs and beams them into it; the baby Mario brother on that adult brother's back must hammer the UFO before it pulls them in and damages them. Hammering the UFO sends it crashing into the RC Shroober and damages it.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story[edit]

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, a single RC Shroober can be seen among the other frozen Shroobs if the player uses the Jump Helmet attack during the optional boss battle against three Shroobs.
