Yoob is a giant Yoshi-like creature created by the Shroobs that appears in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. He starts out as a large magenta and green egg on Yoshi's Island, where it becomes an attraction that tourists can see for five coins. When Yoob hatches from the egg, he begins to eat all of the Yoshis in the surrounding village.

History[edit]

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]

Yoob appears in the Yoshi village.

Yoob is first seen in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time after he discovers a group of Yoshis still hiding from him on Yoshi's Island. He quickly eats all of them when they try to run away, including Yoshi and Kylie Koopa, although Kylie is quickly spat out. Yoob then leaves the area, though he is later seen eating and spitting out Kamek after the quartet find him on the island. After the adult and baby Mario Bros. defeat Kamek and corner Baby Bowser at the cliff, Yoob climbs to where they are, and two Shroob saucers appear and enlarge him. Yoob then proceeds to eat Baby Bowser, Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi.

Once inside Yoob's Belly, the group (except Baby Bowser) helps some of the previously swallowed Yoshis move forward in Yoob's stomach by pushing a Chomp Rock, which clears a path that lets them walk through Yoob's intestines. They then discover that part of Yoob's Belly is a factory for trapping Yoshis. The factory, maintained by RC Shroobers, stores Yoshis in eggs, then places them on a conveyor belt that takes them to Sunnycide. The group helps the Yoshis push the Chomp Rock away, then find Toadbert, who has forgotten everything that happened after he traveled back in time, but is still taking care of some trapped Yoshis. Toadbert tells them that Sunnycide is guarding the exit, and they go to confront it. Sunnycide uses the eggs in battle, and likewise, the heroes can free the Yoshis by breaking the eggs. Eventually, they defeat Sunnycide, and everyone, including the Yoshis, Toadbert, and Baby Bowser, escapes Yoob through the digestive tract, while Yoob seems to stop functioning altogether.

If Mario and Luigi return to Yoshi's Island, they can find Yoob's inactive body still on the cliffside. They are able to re-enter Yoob as they wish, though they must exit through the digestive tract again.

Although Yoob's first cutscene where he spits out both Kylie Koopa and Kamek seems to imply that he doesn't like Koopas and only intends to eat the Yoshis, this is contradicted a few times afterward. He has no issue eating Baby Bowser and the Mario Bros. after turning giant, and the Dry Bones that are found in his belly imply that he did in fact eat some Koopa Troopas off-screen. There are also various bones, including ribcages, scattered on the floor, as well as much larger bones and skulls surrounding doorways in his belly, suggesting he ate other creatures off-screen as well.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

The Yoob in the Super Mario-kun volume 36

The Yoob and his backstory in the Super Mario-Kun volume 36.

In the Super Mario-kun, Yoob appears in volume 36. Unlike in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Yoob originally was just a giant, carefree, friendly Yoshi who is gluttonous. He is used as a vessel for Sunnycide, as Sunnycide takes control of the giant Yoshi and turns him into a Yoob. After the brothers get eaten, they defeat Sunnycide inside, which reverts the Yoob to his normal state. The giant Yoshi then eats the Cobalt Star Shards, which causes the brothers to panic, and ends the chapter. They manage to get the shards out of him.

General information[edit]

Physical appearance[edit]

Yoob resembles a magenta Yoshi, except he is much larger and fatter (and gets even bigger when the Shroobs zap him), has black spines, a black saddle, blue shoes, a green underbelly, black irises, red pupils, and pincers for hands. Yoob bears a loose resemblance to Barney the Dinosaur, the host of the educational children's programs Barney & The Backyard Gang and Barney & Friends. As a matter of fact, a Nintendo Power issue predating the release of Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time mentioned the similarities in a pre-release screenshot of the game.^{[citation needed]}

Trivia[edit]

When the babies dig underground or attack with the hammer inside Yoob's Belly, Yoob can be seen wincing in pain on the top screen. He also does this when the babies open an area in his belly by hammering buttons and when the Yoshis roll the Chomp Rock down his stomach, creating a path through his insides. This stops after Sunnycide is defeated.
In the original version of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, an enemy named Fawful Guy has an attack where it is eaten and turned into a discolored Yoshi egg by an off-screen creature, whose roar is identical to Yoob's.

+'''Yoob''' is a giant [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]-like creature created by the [[Shroob]]s that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''.

+==History==
+===''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''===
 [[File:YoobAttacks.png|thumb|left|Yoob appears in the Yoshi village.]]
-'''Yoob''' is a giant, [[Shroobified|Shroob-created]] [[Yoshi]] that mysteriously appears during the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. The creature known as Yoob originally starts out as an abnormally large, pink-and-green [[Yoshi Egg]]. One day, this egg arrives on Yoshi's Island (presumably placed on the island by the Shroobs). Although no one knows where it comes from, the egg instantly becomes a tourist attraction. For five [[Coin]]s, tourists can actually witness the enormous egg close-up. However, the egg soon hatches, and Yoob is released. Since Yoob is apparently programmed by the Shroobs to eat Yoshis, it starts terrorizing the island, eating every Yoshi in sight. The remaining Yoshis flee to safety.
+Yoob is first seen in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' after he discovers a group of Yoshis still hiding from him on Yoshi's Island. He quickly eats all of them when they try to run away, including [[Yoshi]] and [[Kylie Koopa]], although Kylie is quickly spat out. Yoob then leaves the area, though he is later seen eating and spitting out [[Kamek]] after the quartet find him on the island. After the adult and baby Mario Bros. defeat Kamek and corner [[Baby Bowser]] at the cliff, Yoob climbs to where they are, and two [[Shroob saucer]]s appear and enlarge him. Yoob then proceeds to eat Baby Bowser, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]].
-When the four [[Mario]] brothers (Mario, [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]]) first arrive on Yoshi's Island, the place is deserted. Most of the Yoshis have already been eaten. The few survivors are hiding in a small tree hut. Soon, Yoob discovers the Yoshi hideout. The Yoshis attempt to flee, but Yoob eats all of them, even [[Yoshi]]. The Mario brothers survive the attack. With no more Yoshis left in the area, Yoob leaves to search for more food.
+Once inside [[Yoob's Belly]], the group (except Baby Bowser) helps some of the previously swallowed Yoshis move forward in Yoob's stomach by pushing a [[Chomp Rock]], which clears a path that lets them walk through Yoob's intestines. They then discover that part of Yoob's Belly is a factory for trapping Yoshis. The factory, maintained by [[RC Shroober]]s, stores Yoshis in [[Egg (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time)|egg]]s, then places them on a conveyor belt that takes them to [[Sunnycide]]. The group helps the Yoshis push the Chomp Rock away, then find [[Toadbert]], who has forgotten everything that happened after he traveled back in time, but is still taking care of some trapped Yoshis. Toadbert tells them that Sunnycide is guarding the exit, and they go to confront it. Sunnycide uses the eggs in battle, and likewise, the heroes can free the Yoshis by breaking the eggs. Eventually, they defeat Sunnycide, and everyone, including the Yoshis, Toadbert, and Baby Bowser, escapes Yoob through the digestive tract, while Yoob seems to stop functioning altogether.
-[[File:YoobShoot.png|left|thumb|Yoob, after growing in size, staring down at Baby Bowser and the Mario Bros. of past and present.]]
+If Mario and Luigi return to Yoshi's Island, they can find Yoob's inactive body still on the cliffside. They are able to re-enter Yoob as they wish, though they must exit through the digestive tract again.
-The Mario Bros. see [[Kamek]], who says [[Baby Bowser]] is on top of the cliff and flees, taking some Yoshi cookies with him. The bros. chase him and eventually find Prince Bowser. The babies eat his cookies, so he eats the shards he stole from the bros. and runs away. The bros. chase him and start trying to get the shards out of him when two [[Shroob UFO]]s appear. They fly off to Yoob, who is climbing the outside of the cliff, and zap him with a ray, which makes him huge, then fly away. He then proceeds to eat Baby Bowser and the bros.
-Once inside [[Yoob's Belly]], the brothers discover that Yoob does not have a normal digestive system. In fact, part of Yoob's Belly is an egg factory, created by the Shroobs. The factory has Yoshis that get trapped in Yoob-like eggs on a conveyor belt which takes them to [[Sunnycide]]. After Yoob eats a Yoshi, the [[RC Shroober]]s in his belly handle the Yoshi. Then, the Yoshi is encased in a pink and green egg, similar to the one Yoob emerged from. This would presumably have turned the Yoshis into monsters, destroying the kingdom. However, the eggs are fragile and Mario and Luigi can destroy them with their attacks and free the Yoshis, as shown in the boss battle.
+Although Yoob's first cutscene where he spits out both Kylie Koopa and Kamek seems to imply that he doesn't like [[Koopa (species)|Koopas]] and only intends to eat the Yoshis, this is contradicted a few times afterward. He has no issue eating Baby Bowser and the Mario Bros. after turning giant, and the [[Dry Bones]] that are found in his belly imply that he did in fact eat some [[Koopa Troopa]]s off-screen. There are also various bones, including ribcages, scattered on the floor, as well as much larger bones and skulls surrounding doorways in his belly, suggesting he ate other creatures off-screen as well.
-[[File:Yoob Sprite.PNG|Right|thumb|A sprite of Yoob.]]
-Soon, the four Mario brothers put an end to the operation. To do so, the brothers aid a group of Yoshis (led by Yoshi himself) in their efforts to escape Yoob's body. By using [[Chomp Rock]]s that Yoob had eaten, the Yoshis manages to push the rolling stones through Yoob's intestines, creating a pathway for the Mario brothers to the heart of the internal factory. In the center of Yoob's stomach, the Mario brothers encounter the guardian of the Yoob eggs, Sunnycide. Sunnycide guarded the exit, preventing the bros., [[Toadbert]] and the Yoshis from escaping, forcing the bros. to fight. After a long battle, the brothers defeat Sunnycide, and, with the help of a Toad named Toadbert, free the remaining trapped Yoshis. Escaping through Yoob's digestive tract, the Mario Bros. and the Baby Mario Bros., Yoshis, Toadbert (and even Baby Bowser) made it back safely to Yoshi's Island. Yoob, who needs the energy provided by the Yoob eggs to remain operational, falls asleep. All the captured Yoshis are saved before they turned into monsters.
-If Mario and Luigi return to Yoshi's Island, they can find Yoob's now-deactivated body attached to the side of a cliff. In fact, the Mario brothers can actually reenter Yoob's body to find items, [[badge]]s, and [[bean]]s the heroes may have missed during their first time through.
