Does your planet have any seasons? Any form of weather?

Shroob: (...What do you think?)

[aliencatwafers]

There comes a time

In a short life

Turn it around

Get a rewrite

Call it a dark night of the soul

Ticking of clocks

Gravity’s pull

The Spectral Shrooboid

This concept is what if king boo trap a few shroobs in a painting and it became a shrooboid

Here's what they looked like before, including some details that I have for my guardian shroob Redesign

[anyanke]

Sentinel (Senty for short)

A young Guardian Shroob that got stranded in present day Mushroom Kingdom via a rouge Time Hole. Was picked up and raised by a family of Toads in a farm a decent distance away from the castle. They've learned the common language, and their time as a child soldier has been mostly forgotten.

Still, they still wonder about the outside, and what has happened to their fellow shroobs...Sneaking away from home, they set out to learn all they can know.

...They still have their ray-gun. Unfortunately, what little training they had is no longer applicable; which makes their shots unpredictable and dangerous for everyone in the vicinity.

SMG4 AU Idea: Adventure Time With Meggy and Boopkins

Takes place in a post-Mario-series universe where the world was once again invaded by the Shroobs, and the resulting war led to an apocalypse that decimated both sides. Nearly every civilization fell to ruin, Shroob waste spread all over causing illness and rapid mutation, the heroes of the world all either died, went missing, or worse, a wide assortment of ancient evils were unleashed or reborn all across the globe, and the very rules of Magic were rewritten.

Fast forward a thousand or so years later and we're introduced to Meggy the Human and her younger brother Boopkins the Fish, who've just left their hometown of Port Aurora to become Adventurers on the mainland. They're a bit odd even by the standards of their bizarre world, since humans are believed to have been extinct for centuries, Boopkins has incredible shapeshifting powers, and their dad Joe and aunt Lily are 50-foot-tall ancient guardians of the sea.

One of the first places they end up on their journey is the Mushroom Kingdom, which is currently in a bit of a bind. The Mushroom people's ruler, Princess Apricot Toadstool, has been kidnapped by the evil Fire Lord and his army of monkeys. The Mushroom people would rescue her themselves, but they're not exactly...competent. Well, except for Guard Captain Shroomy, but if both he and Apricot are gone while the Mushrooms are already this wound up the whole kingdom will collapse in about three days. So, First Adventure Time!

After some traveling they get to the volcanic region where Fire Lord's home is and fight their way through the monkey army, and Fire Lord's demonic right-hand minion Saiko, to the Princess...es. Apparently Fire Lord has a whole Thing about princesses and there's a dozen or so in there. One of them is Bob the Thief Princess, who is a guy because there's no rule that says a princess can't be a dude. And if there is one he'll break it because he loves breaking rules.

Anyway, Apricot's with Fire Lord instead of with the other princesses, so Meggy, Boopkins and the princesses storm further into the fortress and find them.

And if you're even slightly familiar with Adventure Time you know just what kind of goofy pathetic nutcase they end up finding. Though Fire Lord is red instead of Ice King's blue, has a jeweled bracelet instead of a crown, and has the additions of incredible jumping abilities and an addiction to spaghetti.

Anyway, there's a big fight (where Apricot ends up with a massive axe somehow and decides she's never letting it go. Yes I'm repurposing Wapeach because It's My House), the good guys win, everyone goes home.

Afterwards, Apricot declares Meggy and Boopkins heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom, and offers to let them stay in her castle, but they decline since they saw a big hollow tree on the way back that they can turn into a Fresh home base.

Of course, when they move in they find out that the place is already occupied by a little camera robot named SuperMemeGenerator4, but he's excited to have some new roommates so it's not a big deal. Also Bob decides to live there too for some reason.

So there's the introduction, now some explanations:

Yes, Fire Lord is (or at least was) Mario. The bracelet he's wearing is basically a fire version of the Ice Crown. I went with him both so he could be a major character despite how long the timeskip is and as a nod to what becoming the Avatar did to him in SMG4 canon. His version of Gunther the Penguin is a monkey in a green vest named Terence. I haven't fully decided why Saiko works for him but I'm thinking it's some sort of Life Debt thing like Han and Chewey in Star Wars.

Since the Shroobs are mushroom aliens the war that ended the world is still called the Great Mushroom War.

Lily's entire backstory is still the same, except the apocalypse and the absence of the Crew means she got found and taken in by Diana, And has very clearly taken up her mantle.

Apart from Fire Lord, Lily, and a few other obvious cases, everybody has their canon ages and personalities. So Meggy and Boopkins ages are swapped from Finn and Jake's, and Apricot is a kid and a very different sort of person from Bubblegum.

Due to that and some other differences, (some obvious, others less so) this AU wouldn't really follow the same story beats as the show.

Melony ends up in Marceline's place in terms of her relationship with Mario/Fire Lord.

Most of the iconic Mario Species are either extinct or mutated/evolved almost beyond recognition, with Boos and Piranha Plants as notable exceptions, and Goombas as a prime example due to now being big pack-hunting apex predators instead of sapient footstools.

Apricot is actually Mario and Peach's however-many-greats granddaughter, and neither her nor Fire Lord are consciously aware of that connection. Apricot because the Apocalypse making it hard to map out family lines that far and Fire Lord because he doesn't remember that he's Mario and wasn't aware before All That that Peach was pregnant. Also, Apricot isn't considered human due to a mix of mutations during the apocalypse, interspecies relationships, and the fact that I'm convinced that Peach is half-Toad already (both here and in actual Mario canon). It'll be more obvious that she's not human if I ever draw her.

When SMG3 and Tari get introduced it's going to be as the previous iteration of SMG4's design and as an Android created by the same scientist who built the two of them.

Also, Luigi will eventually get introduced by way of accidentally falling through a one-way time portal, getting sent from E. Gadd's Lab before the War to the story's present day somewhere in the wilderness. His absence was actually a major contributing factor to everything going so horribly wrong. Also since he's Luigi and not Betty, and since the dynamic between twin brothers and fiancés is obviously very different, he's going to have a different reaction to Fire Lord than Betty had to Ice King.

[askthesprites]

What happens if either Mario or Luigi or both of them die? (Can Star Sprites outlive anyone?)

⭐: Implying that they even can die is an interesting choice. 🌙: You're exaggerating. They're tough, but still human. Have you seen some of the situations they got into? And then survived? They managed to beat Bowser when he had the powers of the Dream Stone! Huh. I suppose- And that's not even mentioning the insane heights they can fall without even a single scratch! Apparently they fell from a Shroob spaceship when those guys were a problem! I worry about the laws of reality when I think about those two still being alive. Okay, okay, we get it! And, uh, yeah, we can outlive people. Starlow and I aren't guardian angels tied to the bros or anything, we've lived for ages already! Or, something you people might consider "ages". (quietly) I just wish you'd actually act the part.

[successfullyshroobifiedsmbau]

Nobody has ever re-enacted that one ‘free lollipop’ scene from Chowder with Shrooboid Brat, so hereby! XD

This comic represents my headcanon regarding what occasionally happens when curious Shroob kids accidentally bump into Shrooboid Brat in his VIP room at the Koopaseum, before he shows up on stage after Petey Piranha’s all-too-iconic ‘supporting act’ where he devours Princess Peach.

[that-8-bit-guy]

With the announcement of a remake of Bowser's Inside Story and the successful remake for Superstar Saga, one must think how odd it was to skip Partner's in Time. Personally, it wasn't a very good game, but it was enjoyable. They made the Mushroom kingdom much more lively creative than just "Grassland, Desert, Iceland, Bowser". It had creative npcs, a good story, and the enemies were really good. SPEAKING off, you wanna talk of a very interesting line of similar foes? The Shroobs were it. Each one was particularly different and still had an overall similar design. This extends to some of the other bosses and Shroobified foes, but the branching designs of the Shroobs were pretty interesting. But yeah, the game doesn't hold up.

[bean-n-shroob]

......why did Princess Shroob change colors when she drank the potion?

Serious Answer? I have this headcanon that Shroob can change their chemical makeup to suit their jobs (Dr., RC, Blazing, Guardian) which would result in their color change. So the potion caused a temporary change in her chemistry, making her pink.

Joke Answer? She’s been bit with that love bug reeeaaal hard bro!

[the-shroobs]

Hello dear Shroobs!

I just wanted to let you all know that there was a Shroob-Toad hybrid called Shroad living in the Mushroom Kingdom you tried to invade, he’s an outcast because of the fact he’s half-Shroob

Bye!

((I lowkey love that lil guy, he's adorable 💜💜💜💜))

Wafers - @aliencatwafers’ Shroob Sona

This is my Shroob Sona, Wafers. She now is a 37 year old Guardian Shroob. Originally named YuW11r, Wafers was 21 years old during the events of Partners in Time (in the past). Her job was to help guard the Shroob Mothership.

YuW11r was a Star Shroob amongst the Guardian Shroobs. She did the most sit ups, pull ups, drills, etc, and pushed others to do the same. The Shroob became the leader of her platoon and held herself and others to high standards. At this point in her life, she LIVED for the opinions of the Shroob Princesses. If Princess Shroob told her to slit her throat, watch it bleed, and get mauled by giant beasts, she would do it without questioning it. This loyalty and competence got her immense recognition by the Shroob Princesses. However, the other Guardian Shroobs got extremely envious of her and how the authority figures would let her bend the rules. She would push the others even harder even when many of them nearly died in a few training exercises. Nobody told her how dangerous those exercises were.

They prayed for her demise.

YuW11r thought she and the other Guardian Shroobs were extremely close, closer than blood.

The others gave her that impression by acting polite and acted like they were her friend.

During the invasion, the Mothership crashed into Shroob Castle and The Rain (salty baby tears) caused the extinction of most of the Shroobs.

And yet, she survived.

She watched as her closest comrades withered away into nothing, and she was powerless to help them, as she was on the verge of death herself. A few revealed their true feelings and resentment towards YuW11r.

This completely destroyed YuW11r’s world. She was doing everything right, wasn’t she? Why didn’t everyone love her? The Shroob Princesses loved her, so shouldn’t everyone else? Shouldn’t the Shroobs love what the Princess Shroobs love?

She limped out of the Mothership with deep cuts from the sharp falling Shroob ship pieces.

Realizing that the Shroobs were defeated and possibly extinct, and that she had nobody to support her, she decided to start anew. It hit her that she had nobody to impress or live for anymore, now she has to do whatever it took to survive.

She adopted the name Wafers after she ate some old moldy wafer bars from a garbage can. It was absolutely delicious and the mold made it even tastier.

Nowadays, she is a wandering vagabond, fashion designer, and story teller. She spends her days traveling, people watching, pick-pocketing, drawing, dancing, and learning new crafts from the locals like basket weaving, hola-hoop dancing, metal blowing, and bracelet making. Wafers picked up snippets of Mushroomish from the locals. She also does odd jobs like pest control, teaching Shroob lessons, working as a security guard, or being a mercenary. Anything to afford rent and food (like mushrooms). She bought the fabric from a boutique and sewed her scarf and hat. Her hat and scarf are her comfort items. If she loses them, she cannot function, eat, or sleep. And if someone is dumb enough to take them, she will make them regret it and never forget their actions.

Wafers doesn’t care if others fear her for being a Shroob. She is extremely confident in her skills to fight anyone on her tail. This belief is solidified by her successfully fighting off any spies and authority figures in the past. She fought off several Koopa guards (if she knew that there were frozen Shroobs in Bowser’s basement, she would walk into his throne room and throw hands (or claws) with him).

Furthermore, Wafers has a medium temper - she’ll resort to snark and sass first before she will toss someone around (a need to assert dominance came from her training as a Guardian Shroob). She likes to establish herself in towns as someone to never mess with. While Wafers has become more weary ever since the Mothership crash, she takes everything literally. She only reads people at face value, is very blunt, and social cues make little to no sense to her. Wafers praises strength above all else and will never say no to a challenge.

As she gets older, learns more lessons, and reexamines her memories, she realizes why the other Guardian Shroobs detested her and that she wasted her life being a golden child. But, she also learns that nobody explained anything to her or respected her, they only valued her skills. After all, expectations change all the time.

[partysol-the-umbrella-wielder]

I decided to color in a sketch I made a while ago!! So if this doesn't look as clean as my other drawings, that's why.

Hurb be cookin!! She's teaching a guardian Shroob how to cook for the colony, since in theory, she would only have to teach one! They all seem to have a hive mind so it's convenient.

This is cute! Just don't question where she got a surplus of Vim :D

[the-shroobs]

Dear Shroobs,

Haven’t you heard of that one time the big turtle dragon guy tried to rule over the galaxy twice ?

Have you been affected by these events or were you simply too far to get concerned ?

[the-shroobs]

Have you ever met a weird alien called Orbulon? He's in a weird pig ship?

Guardian shroob: (None of us have.)

[the-shroobs]

Have you shroobs ever heard of plants iris it looks like this (gif below). If you did hear something about it, what are your thoughts on it
