Elder Princess Shroob

Elder Princess Shroob's powers and abilities

Normal form

Power: Elder Princess Shroob is the most powerful enemy in the game, even stronger than the Elder Shrooboid, Commander Shroob, or her sister.

Strength: Elder Princess Shroob can carry around a large smoking meteor with ease although it does slow her down considerably.

Durability: Elder Princess Shroob's normal form has 3500 HP and can survive being stamped on from on high by use of the Trampolines, multiple hits from the Baby Mario Bros' hammers, and fire without getting a scratch.

Shroob UFO Summoning: By screaming out in the Shroob language, Elder Princess Shroob can summon an armada of Shroob UFO's to the battlefield. They allow access to her main attacks but can be knocked down by a large star Princess Peach occasionally gives the Mario Bros whenever more appear.

Shroob Chomp Chase: Elder Princess Shroob can go off-screen and summon a Shroob-ified Chain Chomp (although how is unclear since the battle takes place on a flying platform) and call a Shroob UFO to guide it. The Bros must either jump over the Chomp or stamp it out of the arena to not take damage although this can only be performed when there is at least one UFO on-screen otherwise it will not be used.

Vim UFO Summoning: Once she has lost 500 HP, Elder Princess Shroob will start summoning a UFO to bring her green Vim that will restore 120 HP. However, she will also destroy the UFO by swiping it off-screen which will eliminate it from the overhead numbers.

Shroob Meteor Crush: As long as there at least three Shroob UFO's on-screen, Elder Princess Shroob can order them to get her a large smoking purple-black meteor that she will grab and march on a Bro, eventually dropping it on them and causing massive damage. The player must hammer her seven times to make her drop it and return to her starting position. THis will occur even if a Bro is Dizzy and, if she advances on said Dizzy Bro, they cannot counter attack and will take damage.

Saucer Blast: Elder Princess Shroob's strongest attack in this form. She can summon Shroob UFOs to fly under her and lift her into the air which she will fly up and down on them, firing energy blasts that player must jump over or remain on the ground (depending on whether she is aiming at them or above them.

Shockwave: As long as the Bros aren't KO'd by that attack, Elder Princess Shroob will jump off of the Saucers (destroying them and taking them out of the fleet overhead) and land hard enough to generate a massive green-red-yellow shockwave that the Bros must jump or they'd take massive damage.

Ram Attack: Elder Princess Shroob's only attack that she can perform without the UFO's. She will occasionally reel back and ram into one of the Mario Bros (the one she is standing opposite of). This must be countered with the Hammers but she often uses a tactic of stopping right before the targeted brother, tricking him into swinging his hammer too early and then quickly charging again; she reveals that she is going to stop by waving her hand wildly and gaining a crooked expression.

Energy Blasts: Elder Princess Shroob can fire massive purple energy balls from her torso which the Bros must jump over. However, this is only seen in her Saucer Blast attack.

Transformation: After losing 3500 HP, Elder Princess Shroob will have a momentary seizure before stabilising herself and then touching her crown, making it flash and generate a massive purple cloud which would change her into a more ferocious form.

Monster Form

Strength: Using her tentacles (see "Tentable Grab"), Elder Princess Shroob an easily pick up and throw the Bros.

Durability: As long as her crown remains active (indicated by the glowing jewel on it),her head (her sole weakspot) will only take 1 damage per hit (even if it is hit by Cannoballers) although how the crown does this is unclear. It should be noted though that her Energy Blast Ball attack (see below) will deal 35 damage even with the crown active
