Elder Shrooboid: Difference between revisions

When the Mario Bros. and their past selves battle the Elder Shrooboid, he uses a variety of attacks against them. His first attack involves trapping Mario and Luigi in crystals, (like the [[Shroid]]s) and then grabbing a ball and chain. The brothers need to [[jump]] to break their crystal prisons as the Elder Shrooboid spins the ball and chain towards them. However, the spinning causes the Shrooboid to become dizzy, making him drop the metallic ball and fall down. The Elder Shrooboid gets up again, screams in a rage, and angrily knocks the ball into either Mario Bro. and lunges head first into the other Mario Bro. The metallic ball either has an "M" (for Mario) or an "L" (for Luigi) marked on it, showing which Bro. the ball will be used against. As such, the appropriate Mario Bro. should jump over the metallic ball while the other one has to jump over the lunging Shrooboid. If the Mario Bros. cannot break their crystal prison quick enough, they will not be able to avoid the Elder Shrooboid's attack.

Like the [[Junior Shrooboid]], the Elder Shrooboid can also perform a spin attack against [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. The corresponding Baby Bro. can counter this attack with their [[Hammer]]s. However, the Elder Shrooboid keeps coming back, meaning the Baby Bro. needs to counter multiple times. The Elder Shrooboid can also shoot [[fireball]]s (like the [[Blazing Shroob]]s) from its hands at the Mario Bros. He may shoot two fireballs at once. Mario and Luigi need to jump to dodge these fireballs. As such, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi have to use their [[Hammer]]s to deliver damage to the Elder Shrooboid. Although, if either Bro tries to [[jump]] on the Elder Shrooboid, the spikes on his head damage them, which limits the types of items they can use.
