To me, this theme portrays your dillema perfectly. Instead of the grand, triumphant music of other final boss themes, this one gives a sense of sadness and melancholy- which fits very well. This isn't a "hero vs villain" battle. This isn't a plumber fighting a turtle-lizard to save a princess. This is a fight between two races throwing everything they have at each other, fighting for their right to survive. If you succeed, you'll save your world... But the Shroobs will be doomed to extinction. If you fail, your people will be wiped out, and the Shroobs will take over... But they'll be able to live, and start their society anew. It doesn't matter who wins. Once the dust settles, one side will cease to exist. You know that what you have to do is absolutely horrible. But you also know you HAVE to do it.

[@wobblewokgaming655]

In my opinion, this theme tells you everything about the Shroobs: they're a sentient race that's done multiple bad things, trying to keep their planet alive, and are willing to do anything to do so. This is shown when Elder Princess Shroobs army of Shroobs use themselves to attack Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi. But they have no choice, cause if they don't do this, than their ENTIRE species dies. But if you fail to stop them, the entirety of the Mushroom Kingdom dies as well. It's a lose-lose situation when you really think about it, cause we have no idea how the Shroobs really act. For all we know, back on their home planet, they could enjoy making art, listening/creating music, and baking, just like us.

[@xanethedarkwerehog]

It's an accurate portrayal of real life.

[@Allfather_of_all_living_things]

This is actually one of many portrayals of SIN: the source of all existential evil itself at work taking form and shape for eternal domination or eternal destruction in many different ways. To allow this to continue where the shroobs have things their way especially at the expense of all in the world of the mushroom kingdom’s indigenous inhabitants and beyond would mean there would be no existential way that life on the side of good or evil will be able to continue to exist naturally any further if at all much less prosper. Mario and Luigi partnered with their infant selves, were only doing what they collectively felt was right, not for justice or vengeance or the like depending on how you see it, but for their existential survival and their eternal right to continue to exist. But still it is significantly dark in tone and storyline overall, and even sadder to have to think about it long enough. 😔

[@aycc-nbh7289]

There seem to be many parallels between the Shroobs and the Nazis. They both prided themselves on coming out of economic recession, they both wanted to invade foreign land to give homes to their native populations, they both wanted the conquered inhabitants and “undesirables” gone, they both existed under totalitarian regimes, they both administered their colonies as such, and they both had extreme nationalism as core pillars of the foundations of their nations. Is this just a coincidence or was Nintendo somehow inspired?

When you beat the shroob princess you are condemning an entire alien race to extinction, which gives a pretty depressing background to the battle as all the shroob trust the princess and hope to survive, even sacrificing their lives for his princess, this is why this theme is not as funky or moved like the other ones, this is a true final battle, the winner get's to survive, the loser, will left and extinct (or be frozed thanks to BIS), even if the shroobs we're bad, capturing toads, almost killing the princess of the future, etc, they have a motivation, survive, that's why i think they're the second best villian in the franchise, they're intimidating, smart, they have valid motivations, and all this is complemented with the excelente ambience this game has, maybe they have gone too far, because well, they're the villians, but they're interesting, and i hope they will be back in a future game, even if alphadream is not with us anymore.

[@swiftzeii4521]

VlaDDrakkeN doesn’t really change the point though. If you try to invade another world no matter what you have to be ready to face the consequences if all goes wrong. And the fact they tried to kill and take over an entire kingdom just because they were desperate to survive? Wouldn’t a creature with a normal state of mind want help from the people of the world they landed on? Or just try to kill/enslave everything. Kinda self explanatory

[@DarkArtistKaiser]

@@swiftzeii4521 Its really not that simple. We in theory have the ability to move resources and people to planets but it requires a great deal of effort, time, and resources to do. While it is simple to think the same would be very true for something like a advanced alien species, the same still applies. Plus, it must be reminded, that for a world to be habitable without the need of suits or special living quarters, the planet must meet the standards that would suit the race best, such as a similar gravity and atmosphere. Keep in mind, the planet they went to probably fit the bill best that was within traveling distance of the limited fuel resources they had, and there is no guarantee there were other habitable worlds within reasonable reach where they don't have to worry about fuel, food, and other such necessary resources. If, of course, they were a race of locust like aliens this would make them less forgivable, but considering their planet appeared to be literally dying beneath their feet, its safe to assume this invasion was a necessary evil, coupled with jingoism to ones side, and a sense of possible superiority in tech and civilization. Pardon me if that's alot to read. history, civilizations, and what not tend to be my specialty.

[@swiftzeii4521]

VlaDDrakkeN could the shroobs not have done this in a more peaceful matter? I understand where you’re coming from, but my whole point was that if you try to invade and conquer something that isn’t yours whatever happens you just had it coming. No matter the circumstance

You know, the first time I played the game, I thought the shroobs deserved death, until this battle happens... The music was so sad I immediately knew something was going terribly wrong, for both sides; Mario, Luigi and Peach are doing their best to protect the world they love, and they know that if they fail, everything will be lost, and their friends will die... But the side of the shroobs isn't less tragic, I remembered at this battle something the introduction of the game made clear; there were no stars to support the shroob planet, this means one thing: they were happy once upon a time, until their star exploded, and with that, their planet started to die slowly and painfully... Keep in mind they probably had to see everything on their planet dying painfully, and they had no more opportunities to see the sunlight, I think this is what made them crazy, psychopathic and depressed, because even scientifically speaking, if you don't see the sun for a long time, you could become crazy... That is exactly what happened to them, it's unfortunate, they only had bad luck by their side, nothing more, the despair and the rage when they saw their home dying were corrupting them to the point they are today, and even when they are evil, they still have hope in their hearts; hell, that's why they did what they did, they really were thinking they could conquer the kingdom to be finally at peace, however their corruption made them lose empathy, and this is why Mario and Luigi killed them; They were already dead from the very beginning, what the bros were fighting were nothing but corrupted genocidal parasites... But the question is... Would you be any better?... Probably and surely, no... The despair and the sadness would make you crazy, and that's tragically what happened to them...

[@giacomociogli7631]

Ok, let's talk about this. Elder princess Shroob was truly an amazing fight, but i still think that the fight against Dark Bowser was even more epic.. Or even Dreamy Bowser, the bros ended up fighting a god (again...).. But between the three, only the battle with Elder princess Shroob and Dark Boswer brings some tones of epicness.. If the heroes lost against Elder primcess Shroob, their existence would have been erased for the Shroobs benefit, while against Dark Bowser it was again a matter of life and death, against the dark powers combined with Bowser's brute strength.. If he didn't have Dark Fawful as his dark star core and weakness, then he could've been unstoppable.. And he could've fulfilled his goal to bring ruin to the Mushroom Kingdom and his inhabitants.. The world itself, drown in darkness.. While Dreamy Bowser just wanted world domination. And now, here's my point: Dark Bowser's battle is the most epic one in my opinion, because it's a fight with a true god, while Dreamy Bowser is a fake god, a Bowser who hate the dust of the Dream Stone, and Elder princess Shroob is... The eldest princess of an alien race, with great powers too, but i think that both of them are nothing compared to Dark Bowser... Yes, my favourite game is Bowser's Inside Story, but Partners in Time is my second favourite, with Dream Team as third.

@@giacomociogli7631 dark bowser and elder princess shroob (can I just call her queen shroob from now on?) are probably the same levels of epic. the difference between them is that with dark bowser you feel like the events throughout the game have built up to the fight with dark bowser but with elder princess shroob you feel like evrything you have faught through has come down to the fight at hand. I gues it feels more tense because bowser is more powerful than the mario brothers and he was basically fighting himself before the second phase of the fight starts. the shroob queen looks more intimidating which adds into the effect but also the fact that you see the results of the shroobs work. they destroy everything, captured hundreds of toads, quite possibly killed people and apart from one area in the game no where is safe from the shroobs and if you loose then their visous ways will continue and they will probably mess up your planet as they did with their own. another reason why I think this fight is awesome: the music... disclaimer: I don't hate bowsers inside story... well I kind of do because it crashed every time during the tutorial and that is pretty annoying.

Giacomo Ciogli I don’t think you’re really giving Dreamstone Bowser enough credit. Dream Team was quite a turn-around for Bowser, as he seemed more evil, more threatening in a way. Not to mention he caught everyone off guard by betraying Antasma and taking the Dream Stone for himself. Sure it’s one thing if a battle determines the survival of a whole species, but if Dreamstone Bowser defeats the Bros, he could make all of his dreams come true (Universal domination, destruction of all political opponents, he could create a universal empire in the blink of an eye).

Partners in Time pulled absolutely no punches in making the story as bleak as possible. The heroes ended up winning at the end of it all, but it was *our* heroes. Princess Shroob and Elder Shroob were the heroes of the Shroob species. Their failure ensured the destruction of their kin and future. This song isn't just about *our* heroes fighting for the sake of the world, its a song of the Elder Shroob fighting *for her life and species* There really were no winners in this war. And it saddens me to no end that we're never gonna get such incredibly spine chilling stories like this again now that Alphadream is gone. I'm just hoping against hope we see a new RPG game in the future. (Also really hoping wed get a Princess Peach & Daisy RPG as an out-of-the-box sequel)

I love how this theme isn't the most intense or most stressful. It's just sad because that reflects on what is going on. This is a battle between two species, one will die and one will live on. The shroobs aren't good villains because they are the most powerful or the evilest. It's because they have a great motive and it is to survive so their species doesn't die out.

Out of any final boss I've ever fought in the M&L series, this one hit me the hardest. I had no more of my strongest attack items, was very low on healing items, and both the adult Mario Bros died. Was playing this on Wii U and I stopped, feeling defeated. I stood on that screen and did nothing. No other M&L games ever impacted me as hard as this one. It deserves a remake.

[@alexwm369]

I had a similar experience the first time i thought the elder shroob. I couldn't figure out how to defeat her and for some reason noticed the crown to late. I already used all my strongest items, but I kept going till all my super one ups, one ups and mushrooms were out and it lasted like more than two hours. It felt surreal to keep going till the very end

[@sukus]

I was terrified of this game as a kid. My cousin had it, and I sometimes played it when I was at his house. I couldn't read any of the dialogue, because I was 6-8 and didn't know any english, but just what was on screen was scary to me. - The attack on Hollijolli Village, and abduction of its inhabitants. - The Koopa Cruiser being shut down with the emergency sirens blaring. - The toads being stuck to the trees, barely able to talk. - Toadiko panicking, then getting turned into a mushroom to silence her. - The adult Bros. getting abducted by brainwashed Hammer Bros.. - Yoob's existence as a beast, just meant to eradicate the inhabitants of Yoshi's Island. - Princess Peach being fed to Petey Piranha, in front of a stadium packed to the brim with audience members. - The completely ruined state Toad Town is left in, once you finally reach it. - And finally, the terrible, horrible monster that is Elder Princess Shroob's final form. It took me and my cousin 2 years to finally reach the end of the game, since we only played it when we were together. I remember multiple nights where I had trouble sleeping, because the stuff I had seen in this game weighed so heavily on my mind. I always liked playing the game with my cousin, and I don't think I would have been able to push through it on my own. Now over 15 years later, I still really enjoy Partners in Time, I would go as far as to say it's my favorite game in the series. I've replayed it countless times, I know a lot of the games dialogue by heart, and have done some of the most extreme challenge playthroughs. Partners in Time is incredibly important to me, and had a big impact on my childhood, and I will always be grateful for that

[@wondermaster7271]

Standing up on that platform made me realise This wasn't just another boss This was a fight to decide which race would survive...

[@crydresseusedejohto2257]

Years after playing this game, I realized something: The younger Princess Shroob never did anything to bring her sister back. And it makes perfect sense. We never see Shroobs looking for Cobalt Star Shards. And the only time a Shroob was in possession of a Shard, it was the Elder Shrooboid. And it was just after he attacked the Blue Toad (Sorry I forgot his name), who was in possession of the Shard just before. So the Elder Shrooboid may be here only to attack Mario, and not to find the shards. And why does the younger princess never tried to bring her sister back? Because the one who reigns is the elder. Her sister was the main leader of the Shroobs, before being sealed in the Cobalt Star. So now that the Youger princess is the only leader of the Shroobs, why would she brings her sister back, just to lose her place? And, if she was trying to bring back her sister, there will also be statues of the Elder Princess, and not only a GIANT statue of the Youger Princess in the Past Peach Castle. (While the elder princess cares about her sister, because she wants to avenge her, at the end just before the final battle.)

I wish we got another mario and Luigi game like this. Every game after this was good but it never felt the same.

Later games such as Bis and DT only had a villain which used bowers enemies and a few new enemies to stop mario and Luigi. The plots never felt dark. It feels like they dimmed down the creativity after partners in time and that’s quite sad. I’m hoping we see another mario and Luigi game and I hope it comes to the switch.

Controversial Opinion: This song is better than In The Final. Why? Well, notice how the song sounds both desperate and sad at the same type. It truly represents both sides. The Mario Brothers and their baby counterparts are desperate to keep everything they know near and dear and can only think of what tragedies would occur should the Shroobs win. Meanwhile, on the Shroob side of things, they're desperate to find a new home and do not want to face the grim and sad reality of extinction. It truly captures the spirit of this song, representing two sides locked in a final clash to determine who lives and who dies. The mushroom munchers vs an alien race searching for a new home.
