While Bowser is possessed, he retains his normal appearance and personality, although with multiple signs of the Elder Princess Shroob's influence; he flashes purple, has purple eyes, and has an afterimage effect and purple clouds around him. The music during the Shrowser battle is the same one used during the earlier battle against Bowser and [[Baby Bowser]].

Shrowser is the only boss in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' that can only be defeated with counterattacks. He is also one of the few bosses in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series with this condition; the others include [[Ludwig von Koopa]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' and [[Thunder Sass]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. Because the brothers are unable to attack during the fight, Shrowser cannot be targeted, and the name normally never appears in-game; however, it does appear as a string in the ROM that is translated in some releases of the game.<ref name="TMK"/><ref name="hexedit">https://youtu.be/Yl28eQHFYn0{{dead link}}</ref>

In ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' [[Super Mario-kun Volume 37|volume 37]], [[Baby Bowser]] is possessed by the Elder Shroob Princess instead, in the very last chapter of the ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' arc. Unaware of what happened, he goes to Peach's Castle and find the shroom-ified Elder Princess Shroob and eats her, becoming possessed by her. Shrowser then meets with Baby Mario and Baby Luigi and attacks them. The babies are unable to attack Shrowser, but Baby Mario talks to Baby Bowser, telling him to not succumb to the Princess' control or he, as his rival, will never have the satisfaction of beating him. Moved by his words, Baby Bowser fights to expel the princess from his body, ending up defecating her and breaking free from her control, much to her humiliation.
