Platinum Shroom
From Yb Timeline
The Platinum Shroom is a communication device that was first introduced in The Yoshi Bodyguards by Mack. It has become a staple of the YB and is often given to allies they meet. It began much simpler, however, as the Silver Shroom, which was only a communication device, then became a Golden Shroom, adding more features, then they overdid it with the Platinum Shroom. Topmonhit made his own rip-offs, the Palladium Fireflower, to move away from the YB.

Silver Shroom
First given to Topper by MDY, the Silver Shroom was spawned from his bottomless pouch along with a note and a key. The first model designed by the Star World Steel Union, which allowed for communications over a near planetary range without use of rerouting through different lines. This item became open to the Yoshi Bodyguards in it's early years, allowing for communication over long distances. However, when the missions became more universal, it was apparent that a stronger communication system was needed.
Golden Shroom
The Golden Shroom was Sneezier's first modification to the Sliver Shroom model. This model was routed through a central databank, which was uplinked through the networks of planets allied to Star World. The Golden Shroom allowed for communication over worlds, with no gap in the lightyears between planets. There was also an upgrade around this time Koop and Shuy were able to install, which allowed for short range teleportation, which has saved the Yoshi Bodyguards many times. Soon after it's development, Sneezier discovered that the device became more than a useful item by the Yoshi Bodyguards; it became a staple, always on their person. That is why he modified it one final time.
Platinum Shroom
The Platinum Shroom is the final form of the Communication Shrooms. Sneezier used his own technology to introduce hundreds of features. The Platinum Shrooms could uplink to the Clone Army Network, which ran off of the same system. The Platinum Shrooms also monitored the pulse and life signs of their attached members, which came of use in the Dark Ages. Sneezier also strengthened the network, allowing for communication anywhere in the known universe, enemy or allied world. The network also allowed for a databank, giving the Yoshi Bodyguards information on enemies, allies, locations, local wildlife, and anything else they desired.
With the merging of the Clone Army and the SWD, the network is being relocated. It continues to remain online, although many former Yoshi Bodyguard members have lost theirs. However, some continue to use them in emergency situations, calling on the remaining Yoshi Bodyguards to aid in their problems.
Palladium Fireflower
With Topmonhit wanting to separate his characters from the YB more, he created the Palladium Fireflower, then distributed it to his characters as The Cloud. It's just a Platinum Shroom with a different appearance, though.
Ruby Starman
A very hi-tech gadget that created for both civillian and military of the Galactic Union, a reformed Galactic Federation. It's publicly distributed by the government so everyone has one. It combines all exsisting gadgets from history such as cell phones, Poketch, Touch Screen, iPod, electronic database, handheld video games, PDA, and more. Like the Poketch, it is adaptable to most applications and programs. It can also download things from the net. They come in many forms such as a watch or pendant. It is usually shaped like a star. Some also come in different colors and appearances such as Sapphire and Emeraldand Heart Gold.
Trivia
- At some point after introducing the Silver Shroom, MDY commented that he was surprised they were still around, and had never expected them to become a recurring item.
- It became a sort of joke that more and more obscure items and minerals were used to create variants.
