1-Up Mushrooms Aren't Just A Gameplay Mechanic

Many people believe 1-Up Mushrooms don't exist in-universe and are simply a gameplay mechanic, this is far from the case. So for starters you can go to a Luma Shop and have a Lumalee transform into a 1-Up Mushroom, something that happens in-universe. Also, in Super Mario Galaxy you can receive letter from Mailtoad sent by Princess Peach, in it you are given 1-Up Mushrooms.

In the Mario & Luigi: Partner's In Time an Intern Shroob will give a 1-Up to a fallen comrade, and in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam the Juniors will use 1-Up Mushrooms on each other if defeated.

In Super Mario Run there is the 1-Up Mushroom Statue and the 8-bit 1-Up Mushroom Statue you can get further confirming their existence.

In the various Mario Kart games there as been various sponsors using 1-Up Mushrooms. There is the 1-Up Coffee which actually shows they can be used for coffees, which goes along with the statue's claim of them having a life-changing flavor. There is 1-Up Fuel which tells us in-universe 1-Up Mushrooms are used as fuel for karts and other vehicles. This makes me wonder if there is a chemical reaction between 1-Up Mushrooms and Super Mushrooms when you use one in Mario Kart. Finally there is 1Up Racing and 1-Up Mushroom Car Insurance.

Another notable on that seems to be a subspecies of 1-Up Mushrooms is the Reshreshroom which looks similar to them but with stars and instead and it refreshes someone. I bring this up because I believe 1-Up can have a dual purpose of either refreshing a fallen ally or revival. Now why would I say revival? Well……

As we know Paper Mario is canon and in Super Paper Mario we are introduced to the Underwhere aka World -1 where people go when they game over and have no more extra lives. This confirms the existence of extra lives which would be provided for by 1-Ups, and that someone can run out of lives. Written by Eris the Lorekeeper

Shroobsworth, is it hard to take care of Intern Shroobs?

shroobsworth: (...Indeed. It can be...)

Shroobsworth & Intern Shroob (M&L: Partners in Time)

I just really love the concept of showing a master and student relationship with regular enemies. It really shows that the Shroobs have been fighting for quite a while.

What do you do if you disagree with Princess Shroob?

[the-shroobs]

How do you guys feel about power ups, Have any of you tried any before?

Intern Shroob: (I give special mushroom to wake up Shroobsworth from sleepy time if bad guys hurt him. Princess tells me he's just sleeping but I get worried. So I like power ups! Super smart Dr. Shroobs also use red mushrooms to get real big and strong too!)

Since my current fanfic is about to have its last few chapters posted soon, this’ll be the last character bio for the time being. I, the admin, am also currently busy with a few projects that are not Shroob-related, but I certainly do hope that comics for this blog will be made again anytime soon.

Anyhoo, what we really came for:

Trivia about... Shuri and Ken.

Shuri

Full name: Shuri June Sakamoto

Age: 14

Gender: nonbinary/genderless (they/them)

Race: Intern Shroob

Most notable details: black ‘belt’ worn around their cap, shurikens

Likes: ninja things, shurikens, gymnastics, their twin brother, languages, singing, dumplings, sushi

Dislikes: being interrupted by anyone, humans, maths, physics, horror, candy

—

“I’m the elder sibling of the Sakamoto twins, and I’m a ninja who mainly specialises in throwing shurikens. Indeed, my brother and I prefer our ninja weapons over the usual laser guns that most of the Shroobs use to defend themselves from humans.

The ninja-ness has been inherited from both our parents, who were also ninjas, but rather than since birth, like us, they were that way since kindergarten and seeing something with ninjas on television once. Being a family of ninjas is quite cool, if I may say so myself, and I, myself, hope that our family will become the most notable ninja family among every living Shroob, even our monarchs.

Oh yeah, as a ninja, being nimble is also a mandatory thing, so it’s probably for the best that my brother and I both like gymnastics class at school, so we can put those ninja skills to a huge advantage, mainly to surprise the teachers, not our classmates.”

Ken

Full name: Ken Basil Sakamoto

Age: 14

Gender: male (he/him)

Race: Intern Shroob

Most notable details: black ‘belt’ worn around his waist, katana

Likes: ninja things, katanas, gymnastics, his twin sibling, languages, reading, dumplings, sushi

Dislikes: being interrupted by anyone, humans, maths, physics, horror, candy

—

“I’m the younger sibling of the Sakamoto twins, and I’m the ninja who mainly specialises in wielding a katana. Rather quite, my utmost favourite katana, which my father never used upon receiving it as a child, so he let me use it instead. And yes, we ninja Shroobs use such weapons rather than laser guns, don’t @ us, as the other 9th graders don’t do so either.

Our parents, Chuck and Nana, have known each other since pre-school, are ninjas since kindergarten after a television show about ninjas that inspired them to become that way, fell in love in 1st grade and got married after graduating from college. They originally planned to spend all of their twenties being nothing but ninjas, but halfway there, Shuri and I suddenly came, and since, we’ve gone through a genuine ninja upbringing, so here we are, a family of ninjas that’ll hopefully be recognised as the most notable ninja family among Shroobs anytime soon.

I, too, am very nimble as a ninja, and my favourite course at school is gymnastics, where Shuri and I always put the emphasis onto ninja skills, of which the teachers may or may not approve, but the two of us surely do.”

Trivia about... Jade.

Full name: Jade Cassidy Yazawa

Age: 15

Gender: female (she/her)

Race: Intern Shroob

Most notable details: round glasses, slight overbite, traditional braces, white triangle kerchief with an image of an atom on it

Likes: science, botany, cartoons, sci-fi movies, ‘animals’, wandering, computers, astrology, pumpkins, Bec

Dislikes: maths, humans, politics, chocolate, school, being called a nerd

—

“I’m John’s friendly rival due to our intelligence that overpowers everyone else’s. Unlike him, others have called me a nerd back in elementary school, especially because of the large, round glasses I’m required to wear due to the fact that I’m also nearsighted. However, ever since discovering the existence of my iconic triangle kerchief that spots an image of an atom, nobody refers to me as ‘nerd’ anymore. Instead, I’m now the ‘triangle kerchief girl’ to most of the others, and Jade to the ones like Marcia and John.

Like Marcia, I also have no parents, since I’ve lost them to the hands of those nasty humans, but unlike them with their siblings, I’m an only child. I live with my Grandpa on an island that we discovered by ourselves, and I have a pet Tashrooba named Becquerel, or Bec for short. He’s quite mischievous and sometimes a little demanding and impatient as well, but he does surrender for some good food often.

Aside of an own bedroom, I also have a greenhouse of my own, in which I plant lots of flowers, fruits and vegetables, mainly pumpkins, which are my absolute favourite. Ever since first getting the greenhouse back on my old home planet, I gained so much interest in it, and that focus on plants eventually turned into me becoming a true green thumb.

At middle school, my favourite course is also science, but I also have my interest in computer class, astrology and certain languages. The most boring class is definitely maths, if I have to name something that’s worse than politics. And to be honest, I wish that botany was also a class in middle school, but for that, I’ll have to keep on studying until I can finally enroll in college, where they do seem to offer that as a course.

Oh, and I’m also very eager to do ballet and gymnastics regularly if I’m not focusing on school or botany. I’ve done that ever since the age of two and a half, and that may’ve been quite an advantage as I’m quite agile nowadays, especially in situations where Grandpa and I co-operate to defend ourselves from humans. I simply jump off of his back with a good spin every now and then, and flash my laser gun whenever the humans seem off-guard! Isn’t that nice?”
