Shrooba Diver

Shrooba Divers are green Shroobs with white spots that appear in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. They wear scuba masks and oxygen tanks, and have the unique ability to "swim" in sand; their name is a pun on "Shroob" and "scuba diver". Shrooba Divers are fought in the Gritzy Desert.

Battle
Shrooba Divers will tunnel under the sand and leap out to try and dive into Mario or Luigi, indicating their targets beforehand; their baby counterparts can counter this attack with the hammer. They can also try to swim directly into one of the Bros., who can counter with a jump. Occasionally, the Divers may pull out a green spiked ball (resembling a Spiny Egg or cactus) and toss it at Mario or Luigi, who must jump over it to avoid being hit; the hand it uses to throw with determines which brother is being targeted. Sometimes the Shrooba Diver will pull out a Sand Cheep instead, which bounces overhead when thrown and will damage the Bros. if they jump into it.
