Vim Factory
The Vim Factory is a location in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. It is found in the center of the Toadwood Forest. The factory's 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 antennas on their helmets. The Hammer Bros. kidnap Mario and Luigi upon the Mario Bros.' arrival. After Baby Mario and Baby Luigi defeat the Hammer Bros. and break the antennas, the Hammer Bros. give the babies hammers and a lesson on how to use them as thanks. 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 the player defeating it, however, Baby Bowser arrives and takes both the shard from Swiggler and the one the Mario Bros. already got back in Baby Bowser's Castle.
