The '''Junior Shrooboid''' is an enemy that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. It appears as a monstrous green [[Shroob]], and is the first enemy fought by either of the adult Mario Bros., as well as one of the only two bosses fought in the present. Two other Shrooboids, the [[Shrooboid Brat]] and [[Elder Shrooboid]], are encountered much later in the game. The Junior Shrooboid's green color is a reference to Luigi being the younger of the Bros., with the Elder Shrooboid being red.

Later, it is discovered that time machine had arrived in the middle of the Shroob invasion, with Princess Peach and the other being captured, and the Junior Shrooboid somehow ending up in the machine before it made its return trip. The Shrooboid is next seen in a fluid tube, kept alive by Professor E. Gadd for study. Once the Mario Bros. return to the present with their baby selves through a [[time hole]] found in [[Bowser's Castle|Baby Bowser's room]], [[Stuffwell]] then remembers a shimmering shard they picked up in the castle, and shows it to E. Gadd. He reveals it to be a shard of the [[Cobalt Star]], the time machine's fuel source. The shard then floats near the Shrooboid's tube, causing a brief and strong reaction from it. The professor hypothesizes that the Cobalt Star could be used to destroy the Shroobs and tasks Mario and Luigi with recovering the remaining shards, unaware that the source of the Shrooboid's reaction would later be revealed as [[Elder Princess Shroob]] - their leader who had been imprisoned inside the artifact itself.

Once the Shroob invasion is stopped for good, the fate of the Junior Shrooboid and the rest of the Shroobs is unknown. However, in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', the Mario Bros. can find a preservation room within Bowser's Castle that contains the frozen Shroobs, including  a Junior Shrooboid visible in the back. Eight more Junior Shrooboids can also be seen in the background during the optional boss battle against the unfrozen Shroobs; in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', there is only one Junior Shrooboid.

The Junior Shrooboid acts as a tutorial boss, with Toadsworth using the opportunity to teach the player about [[Action Command]]s, dodging and [[counterattack]]s if they so choose. Its only attack is spinning towards Mario, which can easily be dodged and countered by [[jump]]ing. Despite being considered a 'boss', the Junior Shrooboid uses the same defeat animation as a normal enemy. The same thing happens with the [[Shroob]]s, the [[Hammer Bro]]s, and [[Kamek]]. Also, in the [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]], the word "boss" is missing from the stat box.
