Junior Shrooboid: Difference between revisions

The '''Junior Shrooboid''' is a green [[Shroob]] who appeared in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. During the events of the game, this strange creature used [[Professor E. Gadd]]'s time machine to travel from the past to the present. Eventually, Junior Shrooboid winds up in [[Princess Peach]]'s throne room. Immediately [[Mario]] confronts the alien (while [[Luigi]] runs away scared). In battle, the Junior Shrooboid attacks by spinning into an opponent. Unfortunately for the extragalactic fungus, Mario could easily [[Jump]] over this attack and stomp on the Junior Shrooboid. After the battle, Professor E. Gadd places the Junior Shrooboid in a fluid tube, keeping the alien alive for study. Interestingly, E. Gadd discovers that the Junior Shrooboid reacts strongly to the presence of [[Cobalt Star]] shards. The professor hypothesizes that the Cobalt Star could be used to defeat the Shroobs, and commands Mario and Luigi to recover the remaining star shards. Unfortunately for the heroes, the Junior Shrooboid reacted so strongly not because the Cobalt Star could defeat the Shroobs, but because the [[Elder Princess Shroob]] was imprisoned inside the artifact itself.
