Elder Shrooboid is a boss in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.

Profile[]

Physical description[]

As his name suggests, Elder Shrooboid greatly resembles his sibling, Junior Shrooboid. Elder Shrooboid is a Shroob with a red body sporting yellow dots, and he has horns around his head that normally protects him from any jumping attacks.

In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[]

Ghostt Spoiler warning : Don't you even dare read the spoiler! Because if you do… Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoooooo… A horrible fate awaits you.

Elder Shrooboid is the fifth major boss fought. Defeating him earns the Mario Bros. the fifth Cobalt Star shard.

Ghostt Spoiler ends here: You looked! Even if I told you not too!

Battle[]

The Elder Shrooboid has two attacks. First, he can throw fireballs that must be jumped over. Second, he can trap the Mario brothers via crystal prisons and the brothers must jump to break out and then dodge the ball and his stumbling body. His third attack involves him attacking by throwing an iron ball that circles around the Bros, who must block it with a hammer strike before it loses its inertia, causing it to roll into them. Blocking the Elder Shrooboid's iron ball causes him to fall on his front, at which point he can be stomped safely for one turn.

In the second phase of the battle, the Elder Shrooboid grows huge, and sets a timer to his battle, forcing the heroes to beat him within four turns. However, the timer can be extended by blocking the Elder Shrooboid's iron ball attack.

If taking both phases into account, the Elder Shrooboid has 2950 HP, 140 Power, 150 Defense (decreases to 100 when he topples), and 66 Speed. Dropping his health to 1200 causes him to enter his second phase, his power to soar to 200 and his on-back Defense to increase to 123. Upon being defeated, the Elder Shrooboid gives 1500 EXP and 400 coins in addition to a 42.5% chance of dropping an Ultra Drop and a 7.5% chance of dropping a Hit-Free Badge.

Trivia[]

  • Elder Shrooboid is conceived by many fans to be the most frustrating boss in the game val story reasons, because just as Toadbert was going to divulge paramount data pertaining to the game's plot, this boss steams in, and turns Toadbert and Kylie Koopa into Shroob Mushrooms, before turning his attention on the heroes.
