A '''Shroob-omb''' is a giant purple [[Shroob]] [[Bob-omb]] used by the [[Support Shroobs]] during their battle with the [[Mario Bros.]] of past and present.

'''Shroob-ombs''' are massive purple [[Bob-omb]]s used by the [[Support Shroob]]s in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. Three Support Shroobs are needed to lift one Shroob-omb effectively. If one Shroob is defeated, the two remaining Support Shroobs flash red under the stress. After a second Support Shroob is defeated, the Shroob-omb crushes the remaining Shroob, and the Shroob-omb rolls off, either into the Mario Bros. (if the back Support Shroob remains) or [[Commander Shroob]] (if the front one remains). If the middle one remains, the Shroob-omb will roll in a random direction. If, however, all three or the remaining two are defeated at the same time, the Shroob-omb falls to the ground and explodes harmlessly.


The Support Shroobs would toss the Shroob-omb at the Mario Bros., engulfing the heroes in an explosion. After the explosion, another Shroob-omb would be dropped into the battlefield by a [[Shroob UFO]]. Shroob-ombs have extremely high defense, meaning it is almost impossible to directly destroy these massive bomb creatures.
The Support Shroobs' will toss the Shroob-omb at the Mario Bros. as their main attack, which must be countered with hammers. The Support Shroobs will continue throwing the bomb back and forth between the bros. If the bomb is successfully deflected enough times, it will explode on the Support Shroobs. After the explosion, another Shroob-omb will be dropped into the battlefield by a [[Shroob saucer]]. Shroob-ombs have the ability to [[Flutter Jump|hover for a short time by kicking their legs in the air]]; they will do this after being thrown into the air by the Support Shroobs when said enemies attack the bros. themselves.


Only three Support Shroobs are needed to lift one Shroob-omb, indicating the bomb is extremely light. In fact, even two Support Shroobs can lift the Shroob-omb if one of the Shroobs is destroyed, although the two remaining Support Shroobs will flash red under the stress. Ultimately, if two Support Shroobs are destroyed, the Shroob-omb will prove to heavy for the sole remaining Shroob. This last Support Shroob will be crushed and destroyed under the weight, and the Shoob-omb will roll off, either into the Mario Bros. or [[Commander Shroob]].
The Shroob-omb is not meant to be defeated itself; they have extremely high defense and are programmed to take one damage from any hit. However, if the player does manage to destroy it, the Support Shroobs stop attacking until at least two of the Shroobs are defeated. A Shroob-omb then appears on-screen and either rolls towards the Mario Bros. or the Commander Shroob, as if it was never destroyed in the first place. Additionally, if the Mario Bros. manage to destroy more than one Shroob-omb, the game awards the Mario Bros. for destroying only one (that is, the brothers will receive 0 Experience and 1 Coin for their efforts).<ref name="TMK">[http://themushroomkingdom.net/mlpit_guide.shtml TMK Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time Enemy Guide]</ref>


{{Shroob}}
[[Dark Fawful Bomb]]s from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' bear a strong resemblance to Shroob-ombs. They both are larger than normal Bob-ombs, both are purple, and both are carried by other enemies.
