If attacked, the Elder Shrooboid will create a [[Spike Ball|spiked ball]] to throw towards the Mario Bros.; the ball circles around them, moving faster with each orbit, until it closes in on one of the Bros. to strike. The ball can be deflected with the hammer, and may poison the target in addition to damaging them if it hits. Successfully countering sends the spiked ball flying into the air, causing the Elder Shrooboid to gasp and fall over from shock; in this state, it is vulnerable to jump attacks, and its defense is lowered. | If attacked, the Elder Shrooboid will create a [[Spike Ball|spiked ball]] to throw towards the Mario Bros.; the ball circles around them, moving faster with each orbit, until it closes in on one of the Bros. to strike.

After seemingly defeating the Elder Shrooboid, it starts to shrink into nothingness, but then instantly grows to about twice its size and resumes the fight. In this state, its attacks are faster and more powerful, and the objects it uses are much bigger as well. Additionally, after becoming gigantic, the Elder Shrooboid pulls a [[Shroob saucer]] from its mouth; the saucer counts down from four turns before unleashing a massive energy blast, similar to the one encountered in the scripted battle against the Shroobs near the beginning of the game. Similar to that instance, the Mario Bros. automatically lose if the countdown reaches zero | After seemingly defeating the Elder Shrooboid, it starts to shrink into nothingness, but then instantly grows to about twice its size and resumes the fight.

In the North American version of the game, the Shroob saucer changes position in the air during the battle, flying above either the Shrooboid or the Mario Bros.; if Baby Mario deflects a spiked ball, it flies over the Elder Shrooboid, and when Baby Luigi deflects the ball, the spiked weapon flies over the Bros., and the saucer thus changes the character required to reset its counter each time it moves. In all other versions, the spiked ball always goes up and the Shroob saucer always stays above the Bros., making it much easier to hit. | In the North American version of the game, the Shroob saucer changes position in the air during the battle, flying above either the Shrooboid or the Mario Bros.; if Baby Mario deflects a spiked ball, it flies over the Elder Shrooboid, and when Baby Luigi deflects the ball, the spiked weapon flies over the Bros., and the saucer thus changes the character required to reset its counter each time it moves.
