The '''Shroobs''' are a race of [[Poison Mushroom]]-like aliens that attacked the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] when [[Baby Mario|Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi|Luigi]] were babies. These events take place in the game ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. They are a purple, [[mushroom]]-like species ruled by [[Princess Shroob]] and [[Elder Princess Shroob|her older sister]]. They are from the [[Shroob Planet]] and most Shroobs carry ray guns with them. Unlike the similar yet much more benevolent [[Toad (species)|Toads]], who are seemingly more [[human]] than mushroom, Shroobs seem to have retained most of their fungus ancestry.

The '''Shroobs''' are a race of aliens from the [[Shroob planet]] that appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' and serve as the main antagonists. The Shroobs invaded the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] when [[Baby Mario|Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi|Luigi]] were babies. They are a purple, [[mushroom]]-like species ruled by [[Princess Shroob]] and [[Elder Princess Shroob|her older twin sister]]. They have short limbs attached to their mushroom stalks, bluish-white spots in a Toad-like pattern on their caps, hands with pincers at the ends, gaping mouths with a pair of fangs on the top, and black eyes with red pupils. Their name is a corruption of the shortened word for mushroom, "shroom".
They possess very advanced technology, such as ray guns and a massive fleet of flying saucers, which are powered by the [[vim]] of Toads. The saucers are capable of shooting energy bolts that turn people into [[Shroob Mushroom]]s, as well as causing devastating damage to houses and buildings. The Shroob military is very complex in their processes. They come in different colors and have different attacks. Unlike the [[Koopa Troop]], the Shroobs have everything laid out in advance so that they could both protect vital operations and invade enemy regions at the same time, suggesting they are very intelligent.


The Shroobs rely primarily on ray guns as weapons and they employ fleets of [[Shroob saucer|flying saucer]]s, powered by the [[vim]] of [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, which is collected by capturing the Toads and draining their vim through the Shroobs' tree network that leads to the [[Vim Factory]]. The saucers are capable of shooting destructive energy bolts that can turn people into [[Shroob mushroom]]s. They are vulnerable to [[Ice Flower|Ice Flowers]].

According to the prologue of the game, the Shroobs invaded the Mushroom Kingdom because their home planet is dying. The Shroobs start their invasion by destroying [[Toad Town]] and capturing many Toads. These Toads are taken to [[Toadwood Forest]], where their vim is drained by the forest's genetically-altered trees. The vim is then collected at the [[Vim Factory]], which is guarded by mind-controlled [[Hammer Bro#Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|Hammer Bros]]; [[Dr. Shroob]] then feeds the vim to [[Swiggler]], a bio-engineered [[Wiggler]] that drinks the vim to power the [[Shroob saucer]]s.

They first started their invasion by destroying [[Toad Town]] and capturing many Toads. These Toads were taken to [[Toadwood Forest]], where their vim was drained by the forest's genetically-altered trees. The vim was then collected at the [[Vim Factory]], where [[Dr. Shroobs]] gave the vim to [[Swiggler]], a terrifying, bio-engineered [[Wiggler]]. While guarding a [[Cobalt Star]] shard, Swiggler also drinks the vim and powers the [[Shroob UFOs]].


While attacking Toad Town, they also attacked [[Princess Peach's Castle]] in hopes of capturing [[Baby Peach]], but she had left by the time they got in the castle, and instead found the [[Princess Peach]] of the future, who had traveled back in time using [[E. Gadd's Time Machine]]. They also took [[Toadiko]] to Toadwood Forest, and, oddly enough, put [[Toadbert]] inside of [[Yoob]]. Princess Peach, however, did manage to trap Elder Princess Shroob in the Colbalt Star and then shattered the shards around the kingdom before getting captured by the younger Princess Shroob.
While attacking Toad Town, they also attack [[Peach's Castle]] in hopes of capturing [[Baby Peach|the Princess Peach of the past]], but she has left alongside with Baby Mario, Baby Luigi and [[Toadsworth the Younger|past Toadsworth]] in the [[Koopa Cruiser]] by the time they get in the castle, thanks to [[Baby Bowser]]. They instead find the [[Princess Peach]] of the present and her subjects, [[Toadiko]] and [[Toadbert]], who have traveled back in time using [[Professor Elvin Gadd|E. Gadd]]'s [[Prof. E. Gadd's time machine|time machine]]. Princess Peach manages to trap the Elder Princess Shroob in the [[Cobalt Star]], the time machine's power source, and then shatter it and scatter the shards around the kingdom, before getting captured by the younger Princess Shroob. The Shroobs take Toadiko to Toadwood Forest, and Toadbert ends up getting eaten by [[Yoob]] and suffering from amnesia after ending up on [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]]. Meanwhile, the [[Junior Shrooboid]] uses the time machine in the castle to travel back to the present, ending up at the throne room of the present-time Peach's Castle and inadvertently alerting the Mario Bros. that something was amiss.


Soon after, they started the creation of the mechanical [[Yoob]] and attacked [[Yoshi's Island]]. Yoob would eat any [[Yoshi]] it could find. These Yoshis would then most likely be converted into more monstrous Yoobs and be used to attack the Mushroom Kingdom, preventing the Yoshis from helping the kingdom in the process. However, Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi went to go stop it, being eaten in the process after the Shroobs had used their Shroob UFOs to make Yoob grow to monstrous proportions.
When present-time Mario and Luigi travel back to the past via a [[time hole]] and reach [[Hollijolli Village]], they see the town being attacked by Shroob saucers, and they encounter some Shroobs for the first time. Unfortunately, during the battle the Bros. are knocked out by a huge energy ball sent down by a Shroob saucer, which prompts their past selves to go down to the village and save them, bringing them back to Baby Bowser's Koopa Cruiser. However, the cruiser is later attacked by Princess Shroob via a [[Shroob missile]], causing the vehicle to crash into [[Bowser's Castle#Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|Baby Bowser's Castle]].


The Shroobs later commandeered the [[Koopaseum]], using it as a stadium in order to celebrate the conquest of the Mushroom Kingdom. On stage, Princess Shroob fed Princess Peach to the monstrous [[Petey Piranha]]. Mario and Company gave chase to the large [[Piranha Plant]] under the museum.
Soon after, Yoob, a Yoshi-like monster of the Shroobs' creation, is unleashed on Yoshi's Island. Yoob starts to eat any [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s it can find. It is heavily implied that these Yoshis will be converted into other monstrous Yoobs, to be used to attack the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi go to stop it, but are eaten in the process after the Shroobs use their Shroob saucers to make Yoob grow to colossal proportions. Inside, they find the eaten Yoshis, Toadbert (who has lost his memory), Baby Bowser (stuck inside of an [[Egg (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time)|egg]]), and [[Sunnycide]], who blocks the exit of [[Yoob's Belly|Yoob's belly]]. The bros. are able to defeat Sunnycide and free the trapped Yoshis as well as Toadbert and Baby Bowser, causing Yoob to stop functioning in the process.


Princess Shroob had disguised herself as Peach to take over the Mushroom Kingdom of the future and thus make sure her plan would succeed. She managed to fool everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom until [[Bowser]] came to kidnap Princess Peach again, taking Princess Shroob with him to [[Thwomp Volcano]]. After being defeated, though, the [[Shroob Mothership]] came and took back Princess Shroob.
The Shroobs later commandeer the [[Koopaseum]] in [[Gritzy Desert]], using it as a stadium in order to celebrate the conquest of the Mushroom Kingdom. On stage, Princess Shroob feeds Princess Peach to the monstrous [[Petey Piranha]]. Mario and company chase it [[Gritzy Caves|under the colosseum]] after taking out the [[Shrooboid Brat]], and defeat Petey, though they learn that Princess Peach was spat out by Petey Piranha earlier and taken deeper inside the cave. Before the four can save her, however, Princess Shroob disguises herself as Princess Peach, with the intention of fooling them into taking her into the Mushroom Kingdom of the present, so that she could take it over and make sure her plan would succeed.


The Shroobs were apparently melted away when the brothers and Princess Peach discovered the Shroobs' weakness (babies' tears), although it was possible that they simply left the Mushroom Kingdom to look for another place to call home. Although, the Koopa Troop seems to have manage to capture various Shroobs and kept them in cold storage, later forgetting about them.
The disguise also manages to fool [[Bowser]], who came to Peach's Castle to kidnap Princess Peach again, taking Princess Shroob with him through a time hole to [[Thwomp Volcano]]. After he and Baby Bowser are defeated by the bros. in [[Thwomp Caverns]], the [[Shroob Mother Ship]] comes and takes back Princess Shroob, with Mario, Luigi and their baby counterparts in pursuit. During their search for the princess inside the ship, they are surrounded by a group of Shroobs in a room. Princess Shroob then approaches them and takes off her disguise, revealing herself. Before she can do anything about the quartet, a disguised [[Kylie Koopa]] saves them, though they are ejected out of the Mother Ship shortly after.


<br clear=all>
Eventually, the Bros. collect five of the Cobalt Star shards and gain access to [[Shroob Castle|the now-conquered Princess Peach's Castle]]. Higher up in the castle, they manage to corner Princess Shroob by shooting down the Shroob Mother Ship. They then defeat both her and the Elder Princess Shroob, who had been unintentionally freed from her imprisonment in the Cobalt Star by Baby Bowser. Afterwards, E. Gadd uses the [[Hydrogush 4000]] to create a rain of artificial baby tears to wilt the [[Shroob mushroom|purple mushroom]]s the Shroobs left all over the Mushroom Kingdom, restoring anyone who was turned into a mushroom in the process. However, the Elder Princess Shroob - who turned into a Shroob mushroom following her defeat - was swallowed by an unconscious Bowser, turning him into [[Shrowser]], who was quickly defeated by the adult and baby Mario brothers. What became of the Shroobs after this is unknown, but ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' shows that the [[Koopa Troop]] managed to capture and cryogenically freeze some Shroobs, as they are seen in a hidden preservation chamber in [[Bowser's Castle]].


====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story====
Despite the standard purple Shroob variant seemingly being the most common type, as they are seen in large numbers in cutscenes, they are rarely ever fought in the game. Three of them are fought during the scripted unwinnable battle in [[Hollijolli Village]], and two are later defeated by the baby Mario Bros. Other than that, only a few more fight the heroes during [[Commander Shroob]]'s boss battle, as his [[Support Shroob]]s. When fought in Hollijolli Village, they use the same defeat animation as normal enemies despite being considered bosses, a trait shared with the [[Junior Shrooboid]], the [[Hammer Bro#Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|L33T HAMM3R BROZ.]], and [[Kamek]]. Also, in the [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]], the word "boss" is missing from their stat box.

Even if the player somehow wins the initial battle against the Shroobs that is programmed to be lost for storyline purposes, the story will continue as normal as though Mario and Luigi lost the battle, though Mario and Luigi do gain EXP for winning.<ref> D2RCR (February 8, 2010).

In the lobby of [[Bowser's Castle]], as a hidden Easter Egg, just before Bowser fights [[Midbus]], a Shroob can be seen in the seat on the lower right-hand corner. If Bowser tries to speak to it, it stares blankly and says "...".
====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
[[File:Mario vs shroobs.png|thumb|[[Mario]] & [[Luigi]] battling Shroobs in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'']]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', while Bowser is looking for a seat in the [[Fawful Theater]], a Shroob can be seen in a seat on the lower right-hand corner. If Bowser tries to speak to it, it stares blankly without saying anything. Much later in the game, a group of three Shroobs appears as an optional boss. They are found in the preservation room in Bowser's Castle, which needs a password to be accessed. The password of the cold room is □, □, ○, △, △, △, followed by hitting the switch on the door itself, with signposts that are found in Bowser's Castle hinting at what the password is. Once inside, the Bros. can hit a red switch that causes three of the Shroobs to thaw out. As Mario and Luigi begin to explain their history to Starlow, the three Shroobs wake up and attack the brothers.


Much later in the game, a group of three Shroobs appears as an optional boss in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. They are found in the cold room in Bowser's Castle which needs to have the password of it. The password of the cold room is  square,square , circle,triangle,triangle,triangle.  
They have two attacks that were very similar to the ones they used in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' (especially the [[Guardian Shroob]]s). For the first, the attacker will flag down a companion, and they will each shoot a laser at Mario and Luigi. The other attack is a simple laser blast, delivered to only one brother. Before executing this attack, the attacker will always pirouette; in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', they would pirouette only before attacking Luigi, and spark before attacking Mario. Here, the brother being targeted is indicated by the spin's direction: a Shroob spins clockwise to attack Mario, and counterclockwise to attack Luigi. In the remake, each of the Shroobs gain the [[Fury]] status after losing half their HP, like other bosses, and will fire lasers much faster. These Shroobs have an idle animation in battle where they will taunt Mario and Luigi by making a face and sticking their tongue out at them; this is entirely original to ''Bowser's Inside Story''.


Various other frozen Shroobs are visible in the background of the battle, including broken [[Shroid]]s, [[Junior Shrooboid]]s, [[Shrooba Diver]]s, [[Commander Shroob]]s, and even the [[Elder Princess Shroob]]; in the remake, a frozen [[Princess Shroob]] can now be seen alongside the Elder Princess Shroob. Also, if a player uses the [[Jump Helmet]] attack, a single [[RC Shroober]] is seen as Mario and Luigi walk back in order to commence the attack.


They have two attacks that were very identical to the ones (especially the [[Guardian Shroob]]s) they used in ''Partners in Time''. For the first, the attacker will flag down a companion, and they will each shoot a laser at a Mario brother. The other attack is a simple laser blast, delivered to only one brother. Before executing this attack, the attacker will always pirouette, unlike in ''[[Mario & Luigi Partners in Time]]'', in which they would pirouette only before attacking Luigi, and spark before attacking Mario. So instead, the player must see the way it's spinning. It spins counter-clockwise to attack Mario, and clockwise to attack Luigi.  
After defeating them, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] receive all ten [[Attack Piece]]s for the [[Magic Window]] [[Bros. Attack|Special Attack]]. They also receive the [[List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story#Shroob Boots|Shroob Boots]], which may [[POW-Down|lower the attack power]] of [[stomp]]ed enemies. Starlow then compliments Mario on stopping the invasion as a baby; when he explains that Luigi fought hard as well, Starlow sarcastically remarks that he did so by "ferociously crying", a reference to the baby tears clearing the [[Shroob mushroom]] infestation. When she learns that it was indeed Luigi who ultimately trumped the Shroobs, she apologizes to him and calls him "super". Despite being bosses, the Shroobs use the same death animation as normal enemies; this also occurs with [[Bowser Memory M and Bowser Memory L]].


After defeating them, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] receive all ten [[Special Attack (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)|Attack Parts]] for [[Magic Window]]. They may also receive the Shroob Boots, which cause jumped-on enemies to suffer a 50% reduction in attack. It is interesting to note that various other Shroobs are visible in the background of the battle, including broken [[Shroid]]s, [[Junior Shrooboid]]s, [[Shrooba Diver]]s, [[Commander Shroob]]s and even [[Elder Princess Shroob]]. Also, if one uses the [[Jump Helmet]] attack and Mario and Luigi walk back in order for the attack to take effect, a single [[RC Shroober]] is seen.
The Shroobs, along with the [[Elite Goombule]] and [[Bowser X]], were not in the [[Prima Games|Prima]] Guide Enemy Compendium; however, the Shroobs were mentioned in the walkthrough.<ref>''[[Prima_Games#Nintendo_DS|Prima Guide: Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', pages 145 and 146</ref>


The secret battle with the Shroobs is accompanied by several recaps from ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' as Mario and Luigi explain their history to Starlow. After hearing that it was Luigi who ultimately trumped the Shroobs, Starlow sarcastically remarks that he did so by "ferociously crying," referencing the baby tears that were ultimately the aliens' downfall.
[[File:MLBISBJJShroobOverworld.png|frame|left]]
In addition to reprising their roles in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', multiple Shroobs appear as ranged enemies in the ''[[Bowser Jr.]]'s Journey'' mode, where they attack using their ray guns and are weak to [[Swoop]]s. The Shroobs battle Bowser Jr. in [[Chilling Magma]] after he, [[Kamek]], and [[Morton]] go into the basement of Bowser's Castle to retrieve [[Ever Ice]]. After the Shroobs are defeated, Bowser Jr. is able to collect the Ever Ice. Several Shroobs also appear in later missions such as [[The Lost Alien]], [[The Power of the Koopalings]] and [[The Best Beast]], with some under the effects of [[Malatone Formula:X]].


Also, the Shroob that's found in the theater area before the Midbus battle might be a Shroob (if not the only one) to have escaped from the freezer.
====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', a photo of a lone Shroob is seen in [[Kylie Koopa]]'s office in [[Wakeport]].


===''Mario Hoops 3 on 3''===
Although they do not make an actual appearance, the ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' sprites for Shroobs can be [[List of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team pre-release and unused content#Unused data|found in the game's files]] alongside other leftovers.
A reference to Shroobs was made in the ''[[Mario Hoops 3 on 3]]'' website where one of the player's baller names (determined by a five-question quiz) could be "'''Shroob Showstopper'''".


===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' one appears as a [[sticker]] that raises launch power by seven.
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', a picture of a Shroob in a saucer can be found in the [[Mario Bros.' House]], and a poster for a Shroob movie can be seen in the [[Yoshi Theater (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Yoshi Theater]].
<br clear=all>
==Language==
[[Image:Castle Invasion.png|thumb|The Shroobs taking over [[Princess Peach's Castle]]. ]]
The Shroob language as it appears in the text bubbles in the game is just a bunch of nonsensical small picture text. Only one phrase, which translates to "Destroy!", is repeated throughout the game. When the Shroobs talk in the game, they make gibberish sounds. However, they do sometimes use the Latin alphabet, as seen in the battle against [[Shrooboid Brat]]. When the Shrooboid Brat was about to attack, the Shroob crowd raised up signs that said either "M" or "L", signifying who to attack. Also, whenever a [[Shroid]] uses it's iron ball attack, it has the letter M on it for [[Mario]], or L on it for [[Luigi]], although it is vice versa when the Shroid has sparks flying out from it's body. A similar thing goes for [[Elder Shrooboid]], when he uses the crystal attack. The Elder Shroob Princess can also speak English. Later on, the language is shown to players using subtitles in parentheses. Whether or not this means that Mario and Luigi begin to understand the language or is just for purposes of clarification is unknown.

===Shroob Creatures===
==General information==
*[[Spiny Shroopa]]
===Language===
*[[Lakitufo]]
The Shroob language is displayed as nonsensical small picture text, with one phrase in particular being repeated throughout the game. The Shroobs' voice clips consist mostly of gibberish sounds. The actual audio for them speaking is usually either a low-pitched and sped up text scrolling sound or a higher-pitched laugh. Some of the Shroobs, such as the ones in the crowd watching the [[Shrooboid Brat]] fight, do occasionally show the letters "M" and "L", likely associating them with Mario and Luigi due to the letters on their caps. The Elder Shroob Princess is a notable exception, as she mostly speaks clear English (albeit in all capital letters) during her scenes, while her younger sister only ever speaks the Shroob language. During the game, the language is occasionally shown to players using subtitles in parentheses to clarify; this reveals that the phrase constantly repeated by the Shroobs translates to "Destroy!"

==Trivia==
*A reference to the Shroobs was made in the ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'' website, where one of the player's baller names (determined by a five-question quiz) could be "Shroob Showstopper".
*The Shroobs may have been directly inspired by the [[wikipedia:Martian_(The_War_of_the_Worlds)|Martians]] from ''[[wikipedia:The War of the Worlds|The War of the Worlds]]'' by H. G. Wells, an alien invasion novel where many of the genre's tropes originate from. Both species possess highly advanced technology and left behind their old, dying planet to conquer a defenseless world, whose inhabitants they drain of their life force; the Shroobs siphon [[vim]] from [[Toad (species)|Toads]] while the Martians siphon blood from humans and animals. Both cover their conquered areas with flora from their homeworld, with the Martians planting red weeds and the Shroobs leaving behind purple mushrooms. They both appear to made up of large heads directly attached to their limbs, with no apparent "body". Both are defeated by something harmless in the end; in the Martians' case, bacteria, and in the Shroobs' case, baby tears.
**[[Princess Shroob]]'s three-legged throne that she uses in her boss battle resembles the Martians' fighting machines from the novel, being a very tall walking tripod that shoots lasers. Her throne also floats and has a forcefield, similar to the fighting machines in the [[wikipedia:The War of the Worlds (1953 film)|1953 film adaptation]].

The Shroobs are a race of aliens from the Shroob planet that appear in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and serve as the main antagonists. The Shroobs invaded the Mushroom Kingdom when Mario and Luigi were babies. They are a purple, mushroom-like species ruled by Princess Shroob and her older twin sister. They have short limbs attached to their mushroom stalks, bluish-white spots in a Toad-like pattern on their caps, hands with pincers at the ends, gaping mouths with a pair of fangs on the top, and black eyes with red pupils. Their name is a corruption of the shortened word for mushroom, "shroom".

The Shroobs rely primarily on ray guns as weapons and they employ fleets of flying saucers, powered by the vim of Toads, which is collected by capturing the Toads and draining their vim through the Shroobs' tree network that leads to the Vim Factory. The saucers are capable of shooting destructive energy bolts that can turn people into Shroob mushrooms. They are vulnerable to Ice Flowers.

History[edit]

Mario & Luigi series[edit]

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]

The home planet of the Shroobs.
The Shroobs' dying home planet.
The Shroobs taking over Peach's Castle.

According to the prologue of the game, the Shroobs invaded the Mushroom Kingdom because their home planet is dying. The Shroobs start their invasion by destroying Toad Town and capturing many Toads. These Toads are taken to Toadwood Forest, where their vim is drained by the forest's genetically-altered trees. The vim is then collected at the Vim Factory, which is guarded by mind-controlled Hammer Bros; Dr. Shroob then feeds the vim to Swiggler, a bio-engineered Wiggler that drinks the vim to power the Shroob saucers.

While attacking Toad Town, they also attack Peach's Castle in hopes of capturing the Princess Peach of the past, but she has left alongside with Baby Mario, Baby Luigi and past Toadsworth in the Koopa Cruiser by the time they get in the castle, thanks to Baby Bowser. They instead find the Princess Peach of the present and her subjects, Toadiko and Toadbert, who have traveled back in time using E. Gadd's time machine. Princess Peach manages to trap the Elder Princess Shroob in the Cobalt Star, the time machine's power source, and then shatter it and scatter the shards around the kingdom, before getting captured by the younger Princess Shroob. The Shroobs take Toadiko to Toadwood Forest, and Toadbert ends up getting eaten by Yoob and suffering from amnesia after ending up on Yoshi's Island. Meanwhile, the Junior Shrooboid uses the time machine in the castle to travel back to the present, ending up at the throne room of the present-time Peach's Castle and inadvertently alerting the Mario Bros. that something was amiss.

When present-time Mario and Luigi travel back to the past via a time hole and reach Hollijolli Village, they see the town being attacked by Shroob saucers, and they encounter some Shroobs for the first time. Unfortunately, during the battle the Bros. are knocked out by a huge energy ball sent down by a Shroob saucer, which prompts their past selves to go down to the village and save them, bringing them back to Baby Bowser's Koopa Cruiser. However, the cruiser is later attacked by Princess Shroob via a Shroob missile, causing the vehicle to crash into Baby Bowser's Castle.

Soon after, Yoob, a Yoshi-like monster of the Shroobs' creation, is unleashed on Yoshi's Island. Yoob starts to eat any Yoshis it can find. It is heavily implied that these Yoshis will be converted into other monstrous Yoobs, to be used to attack the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi go to stop it, but are eaten in the process after the Shroobs use their Shroob saucers to make Yoob grow to colossal proportions. Inside, they find the eaten Yoshis, Toadbert (who has lost his memory), Baby Bowser (stuck inside of an egg), and Sunnycide, who blocks the exit of Yoob's belly. The bros. are able to defeat Sunnycide and free the trapped Yoshis as well as Toadbert and Baby Bowser, causing Yoob to stop functioning in the process.

The Shroobs later commandeer the Koopaseum in Gritzy Desert, using it as a stadium in order to celebrate the conquest of the Mushroom Kingdom. On stage, Princess Shroob feeds Princess Peach to the monstrous Petey Piranha. Mario and company chase it under the colosseum after taking out the Shrooboid Brat, and defeat Petey, though they learn that Princess Peach was spat out by Petey Piranha earlier and taken deeper inside the cave. Before the four can save her, however, Princess Shroob disguises herself as Princess Peach, with the intention of fooling them into taking her into the Mushroom Kingdom of the present, so that she could take it over and make sure her plan would succeed.

The disguise also manages to fool Bowser, who came to Peach's Castle to kidnap Princess Peach again, taking Princess Shroob with him through a time hole to Thwomp Volcano. After he and Baby Bowser are defeated by the bros. in Thwomp Caverns, the Shroob Mother Ship comes and takes back Princess Shroob, with Mario, Luigi and their baby counterparts in pursuit. During their search for the princess inside the ship, they are surrounded by a group of Shroobs in a room. Princess Shroob then approaches them and takes off her disguise, revealing herself. Before she can do anything about the quartet, a disguised Kylie Koopa saves them, though they are ejected out of the Mother Ship shortly after.

Eventually, the Bros. collect five of the Cobalt Star shards and gain access to the now-conquered Princess Peach's Castle. Higher up in the castle, they manage to corner Princess Shroob by shooting down the Shroob Mother Ship. They then defeat both her and the Elder Princess Shroob, who had been unintentionally freed from her imprisonment in the Cobalt Star by Baby Bowser. Afterwards, E. Gadd uses the Hydrogush 4000 to create a rain of artificial baby tears to wilt the purple mushrooms the Shroobs left all over the Mushroom Kingdom, restoring anyone who was turned into a mushroom in the process. However, the Elder Princess Shroob - who turned into a Shroob mushroom following her defeat - was swallowed by an unconscious Bowser, turning him into Shrowser, who was quickly defeated by the adult and baby Mario brothers. What became of the Shroobs after this is unknown, but Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story shows that the Koopa Troop managed to capture and cryogenically freeze some Shroobs, as they are seen in a hidden preservation chamber in Bowser's Castle.

Despite the standard purple Shroob variant seemingly being the most common type, as they are seen in large numbers in cutscenes, they are rarely ever fought in the game. Three of them are fought during the scripted unwinnable battle in Hollijolli Village, and two are later defeated by the baby Mario Bros. Other than that, only a few more fight the heroes during Commander Shroob's boss battle, as his Support Shroobs. When fought in Hollijolli Village, they use the same defeat animation as normal enemies despite being considered bosses, a trait shared with the Junior Shrooboid, the L33T HAMM3R BROZ., and Kamek. Also, in the Player's Guide, the word "boss" is missing from their stat box.

Even if the player somehow wins the initial battle against the Shroobs that is programmed to be lost for storyline purposes, the story will continue as normal as though Mario and Luigi lost the battle, though Mario and Luigi do gain EXP for winning.[1]

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey[edit]

Mario & Luigi battling Shroobs in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, while Bowser is looking for a seat in the Fawful Theater, a Shroob can be seen in a seat on the lower right-hand corner. If Bowser tries to speak to it, it stares blankly without saying anything. Much later in the game, a group of three Shroobs appears as an optional boss. They are found in the preservation room in Bowser's Castle, which needs a password to be accessed. The password of the cold room is □, □, ○, △, △, △, followed by hitting the switch on the door itself, with signposts that are found in Bowser's Castle hinting at what the password is. Once inside, the Bros. can hit a red switch that causes three of the Shroobs to thaw out. As Mario and Luigi begin to explain their history to Starlow, the three Shroobs wake up and attack the brothers.

They have two attacks that were very similar to the ones they used in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (especially the Guardian Shroobs). For the first, the attacker will flag down a companion, and they will each shoot a laser at Mario and Luigi. The other attack is a simple laser blast, delivered to only one brother. Before executing this attack, the attacker will always pirouette; in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, they would pirouette only before attacking Luigi, and spark before attacking Mario. Here, the brother being targeted is indicated by the spin's direction: a Shroob spins clockwise to attack Mario, and counterclockwise to attack Luigi. In the remake, each of the Shroobs gain the Fury status after losing half their HP, like other bosses, and will fire lasers much faster. These Shroobs have an idle animation in battle where they will taunt Mario and Luigi by making a face and sticking their tongue out at them; this is entirely original to Bowser's Inside Story.

Various other frozen Shroobs are visible in the background of the battle, including broken Shroids, Junior Shrooboids, Shrooba Divers, Commander Shroobs, and even the Elder Princess Shroob; in the remake, a frozen Princess Shroob can now be seen alongside the Elder Princess Shroob. Also, if a player uses the Jump Helmet attack, a single RC Shroober is seen as Mario and Luigi walk back in order to commence the attack.

After defeating them, Mario and Luigi receive all ten Attack Pieces for the Magic Window Special Attack. They also receive the Shroob Boots, which may lower the attack power of stomped enemies. Starlow then compliments Mario on stopping the invasion as a baby; when he explains that Luigi fought hard as well, Starlow sarcastically remarks that he did so by "ferociously crying", a reference to the baby tears clearing the Shroob mushroom infestation. When she learns that it was indeed Luigi who ultimately trumped the Shroobs, she apologizes to him and calls him "super". Despite being bosses, the Shroobs use the same death animation as normal enemies; this also occurs with Bowser Memory M and Bowser Memory L.

The Shroobs, along with the Elite Goombule and Bowser X, were not in the Prima Guide Enemy Compendium; however, the Shroobs were mentioned in the walkthrough.[2]

Shroob's overworld sprite from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey

In addition to reprising their roles in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, multiple Shroobs appear as ranged enemies in the Bowser Jr.'s Journey mode, where they attack using their ray guns and are weak to Swoops. The Shroobs battle Bowser Jr. in Chilling Magma after he, Kamek, and Morton go into the basement of Bowser's Castle to retrieve Ever Ice. After the Shroobs are defeated, Bowser Jr. is able to collect the Ever Ice. Several Shroobs also appear in later missions such as The Lost Alien, The Power of the Koopalings and The Best Beast, with some under the effects of Malatone Formula:X.

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team[edit]

In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, a photo of a lone Shroob is seen in Kylie Koopa's office in Wakeport.

Although they do not make an actual appearance, the Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story sprites for Shroobs can be found in the game's files alongside other leftovers.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, a picture of a Shroob in a saucer can be found in the Mario Bros.' House, and a poster for a Shroob movie can be seen in the Yoshi Theater.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership[edit]

In Mario & Luigi: Brothership, the Mushroob Reef resembles a Shroob.[3]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a Shroob appears as a Sticker that raises launch power by seven.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

Shroobs appear in volumes 35, 36, and 37 of Super Mario-kun. They retain their look from the games, and can speak human language.

General information[edit]

Language[edit]

The Shroob language is displayed as nonsensical small picture text, with one phrase in particular being repeated throughout the game. The Shroobs' voice clips consist mostly of gibberish sounds. The actual audio for them speaking is usually either a low-pitched and sped up text scrolling sound or a higher-pitched laugh. Some of the Shroobs, such as the ones in the crowd watching the Shrooboid Brat fight, do occasionally show the letters "M" and "L", likely associating them with Mario and Luigi due to the letters on their caps. The Elder Shroob Princess is a notable exception, as she mostly speaks clear English (albeit in all capital letters) during her scenes, while her younger sister only ever speaks the Shroob language. During the game, the language is occasionally shown to players using subtitles in parentheses to clarify; this reveals that the phrase constantly repeated by the Shroobs translates to "Destroy!"

Technology[edit]

  • Shroob saucer - Small flying saucers that carry a single Shroob each.
    • A larger saucer resembling the Shroob Mother Ship is used by the bros. in Shroob Castle.
    • A floating grey saucer-like ship is also located at the top of the Shroob Castle, and is used by the bros. against the Shroob Mother Ship.
  • Shroob missile - An aerial weapon launched from the Shroob Castle.
  • Shroid - Shroob-like robots that are found in Toad Town.
  • Shroob-omb - Large purple Bob-ombs used by the Commander Shroob.
  • Snoozorb - Large, sleepy robots that patrol Shroob Castle.
  • Yellow ray guns that shoot pink energy blasts.
  • Grey Nintendo DS-like devices with a large antenna, used to transmit signals.
  • Special Hammer Bro helmets with an antenna that can be used to mind-control the wearer.
  • Small robotic bombs and miniature Shroob saucers that are controlled remotely by RC Shroobers, using the antennae on their heads.
  • A levitating throne with three large retractable metal limbs and a forcefield, used by Princess Shroob during her boss battle.

Trivia[edit]

  • A reference to the Shroobs was made in the Mario Hoops 3-on-3 website, where one of the player's baller names (determined by a five-question quiz) could be "Shroob Showstopper".
  • The Shroobs may have been directly inspired by the Martians from The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells, an alien invasion novel where many of the genre's tropes originate from. Both species possess highly advanced technology and left behind their old, dying planet to conquer a defenseless world, whose inhabitants they drain of their life force; the Shroobs siphon vim from Toads while the Martians siphon blood from humans and animals. Both cover their conquered areas with flora from their homeworld, with the Martians planting red weeds and the Shroobs leaving behind purple mushrooms. They both appear to made up of large heads directly attached to their limbs, with no apparent "body". Both are defeated by something harmless in the end; in the Martians' case, bacteria, and in the Shroobs' case, baby tears.
    • Princess Shroob's three-legged throne that she uses in her boss battle resembles the Martians' fighting machines from the novel, being a very tall walking tripod that shoots lasers. Her throne also floats and has a forcefield, similar to the fighting machines in the 1953 film adaptation.
