Biography[]
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[]
When Planet Shroob was withering and dying, and in order to find a new place for their people, the two Princess Shroobs attempted to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom in the past. When Princess Peach (who had traveled back in time inadvertently to this period) trapped Elder Princess Shroob inside the Cobalt Star and broke it into shards, Princess Shroob took over as leader of the Shroobs and captured Peach. Later, she sends Baby Bowser's Koopa Cruiser a transmission, though the crew members are unable to understand her language. She then launches a missile to take down the Koopa Cruiser in an attempt to kill him, Peach, and the Mario Bros. (both past and present), and rest of pilots (whos fate is unknown) laughing as the ship crashes into Bowser's Castle.
After Mario Bros. found Toadiko weak and slowly drained, she reveals how she, Peach and Toadbert returned to past during successfully conquer of the Castle, with shroobs surrounding them and allowing Princess Shroob to capture them.
Princess Shroob was next seen hosting a celebration over conquering the kingdom and fed Peach to Petey Piranha. When the Mario Bros. tried to intervene, she sent Shrooboid Brat to defeat the Mario Bros, but they defeated him. Princess Shroob and her minions sent them falling into the caves below.
Sometime later, The Mario Bros went back to the present where Princess Shroob pretends to be Princess Peach to infiltrate the adult bros timeline, but before she could reveal her identity, she gets unwittingly kidnapped by the now-king Bowser, leading to the brothers to chase after him back to the past at Thwomp Volcano where he meets up with his own past self. After both Bowsers' defeat, Princess Shroob is rescued, but then taken by her own mothership, which also abducts the brothers.
After surviving and evading the occupants, Mario, Luigi, and their baby selves eventually catch up to the princess, but this was a hologram as the shroobs surround the four, ready to blast them at point blank. Before they could, Princess Shroob, still in disguise, approaches the four as the squadron holds their fire. She then reveals herself to be the orchestrator of the war (The reason for translation is unknown) After taunting them, she orders to have them killed, but one of the shroobs begins taking photographs and blasts the others. This Shroob was none other than a disguised Kylie Koopa, who gives the Mario Bros a chance to escape.
Later when Kylie uses key to reveal the "secret" of Shroobs for her scoop, it is revealed to be just a trap door and has Mario Bros thrown out while Kylie manages to hold herself on a key. She was then discovered by Princcess Shroob and soldiers, whom she commands to knock out Kylie, doing so, Princess Shroob sadistically laughs alongside her minions, only for Baby Bowser to sneak in.
Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi eventually entered the Shroob Castle (Peach's Castle in the past, taken over by Shroobs), reaching the top to find an imprisoned Princess Peach, who tried to warn them. However, before she could say anything, Princess Shroob angrily commands the Mother UFO to exterminate them as they are shooting the castle. Quickly thinking, the Mario Bros. use will another UFO to damage the attackers, causing it to crash through the castle and the destroy barrier that has kept Princess Peach imprisoned. Now enraged, Princess Shoob challenges the heroes to a final battle, dead set on seeing them destroyed. After her defeat, Princess Shroob watched the Mario Bros. and Peach attempt to escape, only to be stopped by the Cobalt Star, who will be completed by Baby Bowser. Watching this, with only small energy left, Princess Shroob crawls to the Cobalt Star and expresses her last wish, before she collapses and dies the same way as all the other Shroob bosses (except Junior Shrooboid).
Battle[]
Princess Shroob will first start on her throne which is covered by a pink-red sphere that protects her from any attacks, this sphere will change from blue to pink and then explode causing the throne to malfunction and forcing Princess Shroob to fight on foot.
Despite this, Princess Shroob will reuse her throne, which gains three legs becoming a mecha. It walks and stands above Mario or Luigi to shoot more lasers from below the throne that can be avoided by jumping. After this, she tries to crush them with the mecha that can be prevented by using the hammers. If she laughs at that moment, she will stop before touching them to make them miss with their hammers on purpose. If failed, either Mario or Luigi can temporarily suffer a dizzy effect from the massive attack, leaving them also vulnerable in combat. After these attacks, Princess Shroob will be protected again with a blue sphere, she will attack shooting lasers from the throne that can be avoided by jumping.
As she walks on foot, Princess Shroob teleports to shoot energy balls at both the Mario Bros. that have to be jumped over. She will occasionally teleport in front to shoot quickly at one of them with an energy ball. Princess Shroob also teleports above them to shoot down an energy ball that can be deflected to with the hammer causing her damage. She'll also use a purple star attack that won't stop until it hits its target. It must be jumped on, but it loops back and accelerates if it is dodged entirely, being destroyed if it makes contact. Princess Shroob will switch between aiming at Mario and Luigi with the purple star as it accelerates.
When she is close to being defeated, she starts to shine, becoming more stressed as the battle goes on.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey[]
Princess Shroob makes a cameo appearance in the game frozen in ice next to Elder Princess Shroob in the room with the optional boss battle against the three Shroobs. This is unlike the original Bowser's Inside Story, where only Elder Princess Shroob is seen.
Other Media[]
Super Mario-Kun[]
Princess Shroob appears in the Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time adaptions in the Super Mario-Kun manga (volumes 35, 36, and 37), serving the same role as she does in the game.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[]
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Princess Shroob appears as a neutral primary spirit. Her battle is a Stamina battle against Peach on Princess Peach's Castle who grows to giant size and gains increased attack power once her health has dwindled halfway.
Physical Appearance[]
Princess Shroob is a particularly humanoid Shroob. As with most members of her species, she has dark purple skin with white spots around her forehead and sinister red eyes. As with the rest of her species, Princess Shroob’s brain has as irregular shape, which further emphasizes her unmistakable similarity in cranial anatomy to them.
Princess Shroob is a notably humanoid Shroob in physicality. She is clearly taller than Mario, being about the same height as Princess Peach and Luigi as well as roughly the same frame as the former. In terms of clothing, she also dresses quite similar to Princess Peach, although with her own staunch contrast. She wears a magenta dress with a high collar complimenting the notably sinister pattern with a black brooch matching the one on her silver tiara. She also wears white gloves that in addition to her pointed fingers, also have a split cut at the sleeve entry.
Personality[]
Princess Shroob is a sadistic, cruel, short-tempered, ruthless, and autocratic tyrant who derives pleasure solely from the suffering of others. She employs various methods to eliminate her enemies, having put countless of Mushroom Kingdom residents to horrible deaths or shroobified states. A complete psychopath, her cruelty knows no bounds, as evidenced by her orders to destroy the Koopa Cruiser, which contained infants, and her decision to feed Princess Peach to Petey Piranha, although she later spared Peach due to her own future plans.
Following the destruction of the Shroob Mothership, Princess Shroob emerged in a state of insanity, driven by revenge. Despite her own actions leading to the destruction and suffering she inflicted, she audaciously complained about the lines crossed by others, revealing her complete disregard for the consequences of her own tyranny.
Although she has an argumentative and tyrannical attitude towards her enemies and is shows impatience with her followers, Princess Shroob appears to care more about her kind's future than her sister, the Elder Princess Shroob, although this is only out of pragmatism.
Powers and Abilities[]
Princess Shroob is able to make energy balls, increase her size, fly, teleport, and control Stars when she is battling against her enemies, however she's much taught than she may seem, her own stamina and durability are much higher and coupled with good endurance, it makes her the second most pain-tolerable Shroob.
With her sharp intellect, she's able to come up with most strategies, if anything, hadn't Bowser interrupt her plan, she would've successfully destroy everyone during events of her being disguised as Princess Peach, being the most competent tyrant, right before Fawful.

Trivia[]
- In the American version of the game, after defeating Princess Shroob, the victory screen displays no experience or coins earned when she goes down. In the Japanese and European versions, the battle instantly fades out after her defeat.
- Because Princess Shroob mainly speaks in the Shroob language, she (alongside her sister) is the only major antagonist in the Mario & Luigi franchise to have very few intelligible lines, having only a few translated in-game.
- Although it is implied she understand English based on the events she was disguised as Princess Peach, with her nodding to Toad's questions.
- The closest to her name "Princess Shroob" remains the same in all the other translations of the game, except the Russian translation where she is named Принцесса Хомор (Printsessa Khomor), with Принцесса meaning "princess" and Хомор is a part of мухомор (mukhomor, fly-agaric)
- Princess Shroob's three-legged throne that she uses in her boss battle resembles the Martians' fighting machines from the novel, being a very tall walking tripod that shoots lasers. Her throne also floats and has a forcefield, similar to the fighting machines in the 1953 film.
