When [[Princess Shroob]] is disguised as [[Princess Peach]], she holds a Shroob mushroom to her face. Shroob mushrooms have been rarely able to speak, such as after the Elder Princess Shroob gets defeated. Shroob Mushrooms surround the conquered [[Toad Town]] and [[Shroob Castle]], appearing in various shapes and sizes; it is not clear if these are all transformed Toads or simply planted by the Shroobs as part of their conquest. They are a reference to the {{wp|red weed}}s in ''{{wp|The War of the Worlds}}''. | ||
In ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', both princesses are shrunk into two Shroob mushrooms by the babies' tears, though their eyes are retained and they are still able to talk in this form. Despite this, only the Elder Princess Shroob's mushroom is present in the next chapter. | |||
