True and also she killed her self just to fight Mario and Luigi

[@rhysofsneezingdragon1758]

You gotta think, though. Even as they get shot down, more fill the sky to meet the same fate. They're all willing to die for their monarch. They're willing to fall to save their brothers and sisters from extinction. They're desperate enough to act as kamikaze bombers in a desperate attempt to win.

[@Kilo_Maybe]

I mean, she's not wrong!

[@SophiaLilithUwU]

They chose to fight over an indignant end at the hand of extinction. As their ruler she has no option but to respect their resolve. To bemoan their death would be to spit on their sacrifices.

[@Francisco-yi9lw]

What really stands out to me here is how Elder Princess Shroom is both justifiably enraged at the loss of her sister and the decimation of her people’s last chance at survival but is also completely unsympathetic to the suffering that her subjects has caused onto the residents of the Mushroom Kingdom. Attacking countless towns and villages to capture their Toads to siphon off their Vim for their spaceships, mutating a Yoshi Egg to create Yoob, using Yoob to capture all the Yoshi’s on Yoshi Island in order to convert them into more Yoobs, feeding Princess Peach to Petey Piranha in the Colosseum as entertainment to the invading Forces, Shroobifying Toadbert, Kylie Koopa, and even Baby Bowser without any mercy. She talks of her revenge being justified but her actions just show how much the Shroobs are truly the villains of this story, parasites that could’ve been Timeless Partners to the Mushroom Kingdom. It’s fitting how her sister is burning in Eternal Flames while Elder Princess Shroob and her remaining Shroobs are frozen eternally right under Bowser’s Castle, all of them alive but suffering for all of eternity.

[@shy3214]

You know, it’s really interesting to hear the war from the mind of the elder shroob. Throughout the entire story we only see the atrocities they committed, learn how they take glee in the Mushroom Kingdom’s downfall, and seem to exist for only one purpose: to destroy. Yet it’s interesting to hear the leader of these invaders speak their mind, since they don’t just care about destruction (though would probably still find it a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.) They see the invasion of the kingdom as a last-ditch effort to save a people they know is dying, and that to fall now would mean the end of their entire species. Adding to this the death of her sister, plus her imprisonment within the cobalt star, and the Elder Princess is fueled with nothing but rage and spite in a vain hope to bring back what little remains of her people. It’s honestly kinda sad when you think about it... if the shroobs weren’t so obsessed with thoughts of destruction, they might have been able to co-exist with the rest of the mushroom kingdom... they could have been timeless partners, but turned out to be nothing but parasites.

[@iggywiggy3052]

[@johnboyzero]

Yup

[@jrcsmash2150]

Wow. That’s a good point.

[@meleefox3218]

And yet even after all she's been through and her supposed death in PiT, we can see her frozen in ice in BIS. It's difficult to make out in the original, but luckily the remake makes it clearer to see.

[@zacharykenniston748]

I don’t think they were evil like you said. Remember they came from a planet that had very little light. Their planet died because it had no or lost its star... if they were to try to live in mushroom kingdom as it was they would likely die... the only way they could live was to make the planet hospitable to their kind... And that would make it inhospitable for humans and toads... they were a desperate dying race and the elder was the only one who was still sane. Then it all fell apart when her sister died....

[@user-unos111]

The Shroobs are the one of the most underrated Mario villains. An invasive alien species that destroy everything on their path, always looking for new homes that they'll inevitably ruin. But at the same time they also fight for their own survival because if they don't find new worlds they will go extinct. Kind of a step up above Bowser kidnapping Peach. They had so much potential to become recurring foes. Anyone else think the Shroobs are way more fitting villains for the Galaxy games?

[@vibevizier6512]

The shroobs are a bit dark for mario galaxy, and the big problem is that one failure kills their entire species.

[@user-unos111]

@@vibevizier6512 Who knows. Mario's planet can't be the only place in the galaxy they conquered

[@ninjathis3009]

I doubt the Shroobs will ever return in a spotlight of a Mario game. I imagine they'll be stuck to cameos and Easter eggs for at least several more years. The Shroobs' last appearance was a pretty big flop - financially - was it not? Partners in Time was the worst selling game in the series. To risk bringing them back for any prime position is a risky move, and not one I'd expect higher ups to think as smart. Then again, Nintendo always breaks the mold... The decisions they make don't conform to the rest of the industry. Bringing Shroobs back may be just the crazy idea they're looking for to reinvent a series.

Again I will say it again, Partners in Time has to have the most tragic story. Sure Super Paper Mario had a Romeo and Juliet with the whole world ending story, but this one is a race that knows nothing but destruction and will lead the entire existence of life to genocide. Even if they won and conquered the Mushroom Kingdom they would proceed to the next then the next till there was nothing left then. They too would consume each other until all is now gone. And in the end you sentenced this race to extinction there is no happy ending or compromise for them.

As a reminder, the Shroobs still exist in the Mario and Luigi timeline, as seen in BiS where they are all frozen, including the Elder Princess Shroob apparently. And while it's beyond unlikely that they'll get any reappearance, given Alphadream the is gone and Partners in Time wasn't so successful, it would be amazing to see this twisted species rise again...

I love how this song show’s the Shroobs race’s warped perspective. They believe they are the better than any dumb humans, that the Bros acts to defend their planet are disgraceful. “They should not have the honor of striking us down!” They’ve come too far, they *must* be better. Also Elder Princess Shroob is rightfully pissed that her sister is dead. I especially like the lyric, “But you will not see her again, for you’ll burn in eternal flame.” She believes her sister is going to heaven, while the Bros will go to hell.

[@ArcherBro]

The Shroobs' problems happen because they are evil. Their world was destroyed by their constant war. They were killed by the Bros. because of their needlessly cruel crimes against humanity. Their culture can be summed up in their most frequently used word: "Destroy."

The Shroobs' princesses were hypocritical, genocidal monsters and the Underwhere has a special place for them.

The community as a whole agrees on the fact that Bowser's Inside Story is the best Mario RPG game to ever exist alongside Paper Mario TTYD. Everyone has his own opinion and leaderboard but you can't spit on BiS like that even though you think Partners in Time is better. The truth is, all of Alphadream's games were legendary (I really mean it) and they all should've gotten a remake. It really sucks that they've gone bankrupt :(

I find it so ironic that as I was listening to Man on the Internet's "In the Final" cover That as much as I like the song, I would have loved this theme too. You guys are pure amazingness.

[@GGolden2500]

This song is incredible: I never stopped to think all the pain the Shroobs had to endure (0:24 - 1:05) and this song makes you really think about the consequences of trying to win the war against the Shroobs in Present and Past It's also amazing how the song tells the outcome of the battle as time passes: Princess Shroob was so confident at the beginning that she would win the war (1:05 - 1:30 ) but as the song progresses she forgets about the war and she makes one last effort to avenge her kind and her sister (1:32 - 2:25) while at the same time she slowly gets more desperate and angry, but finally at the last moment she realizes that no matter what she does she has lost the fight (2:50 - 3:05). This really makes you see that entire fight from a different perspective, one that you don't normally experience in regular gameplay. It actually made me feel kinda sad for defeating her...

PiT is one of the games I hoped it got remade on the 3DS even when the switch came out. But this battle’s theme before this cover you did excellently felt like everything as at stake. Time itself was in danger as the shroobs were using the past to take control of the present. But when you did the cover for it, the song went from an emotional underrated battle theme on what Elder Princess Shroob was doing to make what’s right for her kind made it into a desperate she will win even if she failed.

[@paladinfrozo8767]

I didn’t expect the sad Queen approach but it really brings greatness to this song

[@meleefox3218]

This honestly shows the plight of the Shroobs; they didn't invade the Mushroom Kingdom out of malice and evil. They did it out of necessity and desperation due to the dwindling resources on their own home planet, which you see in the prologue is a dead, barren wasteland. The Elder Princess Shroob was sealed in the Cobalt Star and forced to watch the Mario Brothers and their infant counterparts wipe out her species one by one, eventually even killing her younger sister in front of her. The Elder Princess Shroob at this point has lost everything that she had held dear to her; her home, her empire, her people and her younger sister. In her mind, her rage and hatred for them is completely justified, and is ready to punish the plumbers responsible for these heinous crimes. Interestingly enough however, you can see that in Bowser's Inside Story that not all Shroobs have been eradicated, and many survivors have just been imprisoned in ice underneath Bowser's Castle. It's hard to make out who they are in the DS version, but the remake shows that there are familiar Shroob faces in there including a Junior Shrooboid and the even the Elder Princess Shroob herself.

[@TheRepublicOfDixionconderoga]

Why doesn’t anyone realize this?

[@jacksonvoet8312]

I’m wondering if Bowser did this out of respect, or genuinely didn’t want their species to be wiped out? The Mario Bros don’t seem surprised, so maybe they were part of it, a way to keep them alive until a home can be located?

[@cbfranco3307]

​@jacksonvoet8312 He probably just wants them as cool looking statues/trophies. People give Bowser sometimes too much credit lol. Yeah he's not all bad, but I seriously doubt he'd give a sh*t about the shroobs dying or not. Also it's literally said in the game that that is supposed to be some ice cream Jr asked for. So Bowser probably didn't even notice the shroobs inside.

You don't know if they are a dying race. This is a fan-made song, not an official source. Most countries who start a war don't send their entire population on the battlefield.
