they can certainly make the Shroobs the main-ish antagonists in a possible Mario Galaxy 3, those games do reference the multiverse after all

[@darthtroller]

I also had the idea, and Bowser's castle is an extension to your base after the first grand star which is defeating infected Bowser

[@matiasgaming4971]

When Fawful does his "Fawful show" in Bowser's castle, a shroob can be seen sitting as an audience before the show starts.

[@matiasgaming4971]

Don't bother talking to it, it will only say "..."

[@titodickdickmanbaby3148]

favourite little easter egg. shroobs are not totally extinct but they are very scarce it cant really be possible that they tracked down every last member of an entire civilization so it makes sense that a few shroobs remain here and there, maybe trying to coexist peacefully after being rekt

[@A_Random_Shroob]

Filipe Cardoso Oh, that was me. And what's so creepy about staying quiet? They told me to stay silent during the show, so I just stayed quiet even before the show started.

Yeah, the lone Shroob in Bowser's Castle was most certainly aware of the existence of the frozen Shroob and was looking for them. I'd even say he was a scout.

Honestly the Shroobs are my favorite Villains in the Mario history

[@C.V.20]

I think Mario and Luigi remember the shroob because they were a babies when they saw a shroob. So my theory is that after the event of partners in time. Baby Bowser somehow took all of the shroobs back his castle and froze them and lock them up in the cold room for a rest of the years. So the cold are now permanently ban for everyone and no one is allow to enter the room. And they grew up as adults and they still remember about the shroob. So baby Bowser keep them in cold room and froze them and they were never unfroze again.

Fantastic new "history of" video I really enjoyed the video and keep up the fantastic and brilliant videos as you always do

[@Oceane1803]

I think it's interesting how violent and horrible the Shroobs can be. Despite their technological advances, which is something that's usually tied to intelligence and wisdom, when they get angry, it seems like they lose all control, mostly saying "Destroy" in that state. I think it's the most obvious with the two Princesses Shroob, who we see speak full translated sentences, only to start repeating "Destroy" as they lose their temper. And Elder Princess Shroob even destroys her own army's ships to use as projectiles, with no care for the lives of the Shroobs inside these ships. And I think that this is the Shroob's true nature. No matter how advanced their technologies are, no matter if they try to keep their anger in check, they're a violent species who have a hard time controlling themselves. Basically, destroying is their natural instinct, and they can't control it, no matter what they do, and when they get angry, they just become mindless violent creatures, and that's their main flaw. Or at least that's how I see it.

Honestly the shroobs could be used as a huge threat to the entire super Mario odyssey world. They attacked the mushroom kingdom and bowsers kingdom and took both castles. They attacked yoshis island and set up camps all around the mushroom kingdom. I wouldn't be surprised if they are able to take over every kingdom on the planet because they definitely have the power.

[@arturomontemayor5781]

I think it's safe to say the Shroobs are done. If you look at the 3ds remake of Bowser's inside story, during the battle with the shroobs, you can see not only the elder shroob princess, but also the regular shroob princess next to her. Does that mean that Bowser got all of them frozen? Will he ever release them? If so, will they even obey him? And what will become of the mushroom kingdom if they were to ever be released?

[@bowserboy44]

OH MY, I never knew elder princess shroob was in the background!

[@warioland523]

The presence of the Elder Princess Shroob in the preservation chamber raises the question on how she even reverted back to her first form. Last time she was seen she was some sort of vapor like being enhancing Bowser's strength. Given though that maybe countless years have passed it could have been possible that Elder Princess Shroob regenerated and started recreating her empire but Bowser caught wind of this and wanting no other bad guy to usurp him of his title as the greatest evil trapped Elder Princess Shroob and her minions in cold storage. What Bowser didn't expect though was the bros to find the chamber and hit the button to set it to thaw. Because the blocks of ice for the more prominent figures in the Shroob hierarchy are thicker they will probably take longer to thaw but considering there are multiple Jr. Shrooboids Shroids, and Commander Shroobs that once they do thaw they could put up much more of a challenge but the real threat is that giant chunk of ice in the middle. The one containing Elder Princess Shroob herself. Should that one thaw then everything hits the fan.

[@Luc-uh5wm]

The presence of the Elder Princess Shroob in Bowser inside story is an ENORMOUS plot hole!

[@Prakooponzius164]

my theory is that the Elder Princess Shroob from Bowser's inside story isn't the same we fought in partners in time, but the past timeline one. If Shroobs invaded Mushroom Kingdom in the past it means that the babies defeated them without the help of the future Mario brothers, which was impossible according to what we've seen in Partners in Time. Since Elder Princess Shroob is able to create Time Holes (like one of her attaks) the Shroobs from the future time-travelled to the past were not only Mario and Luigi but also Bowser were still babies and not powerful like in the future. Then, after the events of the game and when the babies have become the adults, their timeline's Shroobs invaded the Mushroom Kingdom, but since Bowser was aware of them he stopped the upcoming invasion without anyone noticing, imprisoning the Shroobs in his basements for studying them. That's the only logical way to cover the enormous plot hole behind that room.

[@iceace4277]

@@Prakooponzius164 You are looking too far.

[@iceace4277]

Here is my own theory, there is no plot hole. The Shroob Princesses you see in the cold room are from the original timeline. In this timeline, without the intervention of time travel, the baby Mario Brothers had to deal with the Shroob invasion on their own without their future versions, but had to deal with the two princesses as well, so the older one was still free. They managed to do it anyway, but it took a lot longer, several years. However, they didn't manage to kill them, so they gave them to Bowser, so he could put them in the safest place they know: a fortified room in his castle. By the way, I think that Baby Bowser captured the three Shroob that we face in the cold room were captured in the village of Hollijoli while the babies were exploring Baby Bowser's castle: they're the ones you lose to at the beginning of the game. But for this point, I'm not sure and it doesn't matter.

[@Elijah-7-7]

@@iceace4277 damn bro, all of you have a point, but still, this is too far for the Mario game ya know, and yeah i know that plot in Partners in Time the most important thing (even more important than gameplay), but damn it... why it supposed to be so darn tough?

[@A_Random_Shroob]

Dark Mario games help prove that the Mario series isn't just "for children". Also, it wasn't always THAT dark to be completely honest. Most of the places you go are bright, colorful and cheery. The only dark place was Toadwood Forest? And same goes for the music. The only time the music was "scary" was whenever Shroobs were around. Everything else was fun and joyful, like Thwomp Volcano and Yoshi's Island, and you can't deny Star Hill's music was beautiful. I think you're overreacting a little too much lol

[@gabrielblais6686]

First Time I heard of them but it is a cool intro to them

[@bigjalapeno7061]

I know

[@Deimosthegreat]

A thing I never understood was this. Did the younger Princess Shroob not care about her sister and was she trying to take over the Mushroom Kingdom for herself? At no point in the story does she attempt to reassemble the cobalt star to free her sister, and when you fight her, she says "this kingdom is mine". Then there's the giant statue she built of herself and not the elder princess. I got the vibe she was A okay leaving her sister trapped if it meant she could be in charge of the kingdom.
