SHROOB MOTHERSHIP [0518]

Guide to the Shroob Mothership in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Learn how to navigate, collect items, and defeat enemies with Kylie Koopa's help.

Alright, you've made it to the Shroob Mothership! First things first, let's get you situated. As soon as you land, make sure to save your game. You'll see some platforms to jump up; head up there to grab a Max Mushroom, then find the exit to the next room.

Now, you'll need to use the babies. Throw them up onto the platform to your right. Once they're up there, have the adult Bros. Spin Jump over to join them. From that ledge, use Baby Spin to reach an even higher platform for two Ultra Drops. After that, head to the right to exit.

You'll find yourself on a long track. Grab the items scattered along the way. Again, throw the babies up onto the ledge ahead and continue forward. You'll come across a gate; use Baby Drill to go under it and snag some coins. Drop down to reunite with the adults. Grab the Copy Flowers, and then get ready to fight some Guardian Shroobs. After you've dealt with them, keep moving forward. You'll see a slotted area – use Baby Cakes to fit inside and grab some items, including a Drain Badge. Once you've collected everything you can, proceed to the next area.

Time to get the babies to the top floor of the mothership. Once they're up there, have the adult Bros. walk over to the Event Block. Watch as it sprouts wings and flies away – seriously! Follow it through the dark corridor. Whenever it stops, quickly switch to controlling the babies and hit the switch directly above where the block is. This will light up the area, allowing the adults to interact with it. Keep doing this as it flies down the hallway until a wall eventually lowers. Regroup with the adults at the exit and move on.

You'll find another Event Block here. Hit it, and don't worry, this one won't fly away! It'll create a path leading to the entrance. While you're here, it's a good idea to head back to the entrance and save your game again. When you're ready, head through the doorway to the north.

Use Baby Spin to reach a ledge with some coins. Then, step on the blue switch to open the way forward. Uh oh, looks like you're about to be ambushed by Princess Shroob and her goons! But don't worry, Kylie Koopa arrives just in time to save the day and help you all make a daring escape. Continue through the door, grab any items you see, save your game one more time, and then head through the next doorway.

Kylie will spot a giant keyhole on the side of the ship. Remember that key she found back in Gritzy Caves? It looks like it might fit here! She inserts the key, but instead of opening something useful, it triggers a trap door, sending you all plummeting out of the mothership! What a way to go!
