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]]. | ||

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. | ||

===''Super Mario- | 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:YoobSMK36.jpg|thumb|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== | ||
Yoob resembles a magenta Yoshi, except | ===Physical appearance=== | ||
Yoob resembles a magenta [[Yoshi (species)|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 {{fandom|barney|Barney|Barney the Dinosaur}}, the host of the educational children's programs ''{{fandom|barney|Barney & The Backyard Gang}}'' and ''{{fandom|barney|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.{{ref needed}} | |||

== | ==Trivia== | ||
*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 [[Yoshi (species)|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. | |||
