comment |
The third game in the Mario & Luigi RPG series, released in 2009 for the Nintendo DS. Its Japanese name is Mario and Luigi RPG 3!!!.A mysterious disease, the Blorbs, are causing Toads to swell into giant balloon-like figures. This turns out to be part of an elaborate evil plan to capture Princess Peach and use her to claim the dark power of the Dark Star, an Artifact of Doom that is buried beneath the Mushroom Kingdom, and the villain behind it all is none other than Fawful, who makes his triumphant return from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. He tricks Bowser into eating a mushroom that makes him suck up Peach, the Mario Bros., and most of the Toads in Peach's Castle.With Peach, Mario, and Luigi trapped inside Bowser's body, Fawful takes over Bowser Castle, capturing some of his minions and brainwashing the rest. Bowser embarks on a journey across the Mushroom Kingdom to take back his palace and free all his minions, eventually getting (reluctantly) wrapped up in the battle against the Dark Star. Meanwhile, Mario and Luigi aid him from inside his body when necessary in the midst of collecting the three Star Cures needed to counteract the Dark Star.Control alternates between the pair of Mario and Luigi and, as the game's title indicates, Bowser himself, with Bowser utilizing his own unique twist on the Action Command-laden battle system the Mario and Luigi series is known for. One of the quirks of the game is that Bowser can't be controlled unless Mario and Luigi are inside his body. That's because of the new mechanic of the Vacuum Block, which allows Bowser to suck up smaller enemies or, less frequently, parts of the enemies that temporarily raise Bowser's stats. When Bowser is ingesting entire enemies, the screen cuts away to a battle inside Bowser between the Bros. and the enemy. After this battle is over, the outer battle resumes (unless Bowser ate the last enemy). Notably, this is the only way that Mario, Luigi, and Bowser can fight against common enemies in the same battle. Another feature is that while most of the world is the same format as the previous two games, a top-down view of the world, all the stages inside Bowser's body are 2-D, side-scrolling levels.During the March 2018 Nintendo Direct, it was announced that Bowser's Inside Story would get a Video Game Remake released in 2019 for the Nintendo 3DSnote skipping over Partners in Time in the process. Like the Superstar Saga remake, an extra strategy game mode centering around Bowser Jr. is included. The remake was the last Mario & Luigi title developed by AlphaDream before their bankruptcy and closure in 2019. note Though the last game that would credit the studio would be Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 later that year, with the studio being among those that gave developmental support. |

Parodied with the Wiggler. He tells Bowser to "take responsibility" for pulling up the Giga-Carrot by eating it for the Banzai Bill; when Bowser does, Wiggler gets mad and, rather than cough up the Bullet Bill as he promised, starts a fight! And the Koopa King needs to own up for his actions? Note that he got mad and attacked you not because you pulled the carrot up, but because you ate it, which he told you to do. When Bowser promptly defeats him, he will then whine about what a brute he is for beating him up in a fight he started. |

Unreadably Fast Text: One of the Goombas when Bowser is inside his castle for the first time after Fawful's takeover. Some of the Magikoopas as well; when Bowser frees them, they start discussing ways to show their gratefulness. Every Magikoopa apparently came up with a different plan and they all start arguing very fast about which one they're using. |

Tempting Fate: The things the Fawful Express Mole crew say before/during the battle with Giant Bowser are exactly the most idiotic things possible, including their entire plan via villain monologue and their weakness. Fawful at the beginning, giving Bowser an unintentional tutorial when watching him fight Midbus. Bowser, before entering his vault: "This is one place that stupid Fawful NEVER could break into!". Then he goes in and sees the train tracks... |

The Worf Effect: Like in every Mario and Luigi game, you fight Bowser at the beginning, and he's an absolute pushover. Justified this time, as his abilities are being weakened by Peach and Starlow. Even Bowser himself is taken aback he lost so easily. You even fight him later in the game at his full potential, and he puts up quite a fight. |

Bag of Sharing: The Bros. and Bowser share coins and items, although they cannot for the most part use each other's dedicated item — for instance, Bowser can only consume drumsticks despite also seeing mushrooms in his inventory. Neither party seems to question why they have access to more money than they've been getting from enemy encounters, or why they're able to sell each other's equipment and healing items. |

During the Boss Battle with Junker, a bucket falls onto one of the Bros.'s heads and you (the player) must guide them around, avoiding being crushed by Thwomps. This is very similar to the premise of the Japan-only Mario & Wario, where the fairy Wanda must successfully guide Mario through a level while one of various items is obscuring his vision. The first and most iconic of said items is a bucket. |

Stealth Pun: Midbus and Fawful. Pork and beans, respectively. Broque Monsieur and Broggy. Say "block monster" and "blocky" with a heavy French accent. "Broque Monsieur" and "Broque Madame" are also puns on "croque monsieur" and "croque madame", types of French grilled sandwiches. A Boo and a Koopa Troopa are in love. This gives Ghost in the Shell a new meaning. Nutsoglobin is a pun on "nutso" meaning "crazy" and "not so globin", where "globin" could mean anything in this context. How does Bowser lose all of his weight after getting fat? Running so fast on a treadmill he gets set on fire - burning calories. One of the locations in Bowser's Body is "Rump Command" and you go there whenever you need to save Bowser, i.e. "saving his butt". |

Any other Bowser Baddie with a shred of competence ends up working for Fawful. Lampshaded, where Bowser angrily shouts to his Goombas trapped in cages that while they're busy playing "Cram in the Cage", he gets things done! |

Angry Guard Dog: Broggy, Broque Monsieur's guard dog. He's pretty much pissed off at everything and can be unlocked as Bowser's final Special Attack. It also seems to have adopted his master's hatred of Mario since he'll growl if he comes too close. |

Wave-Motion Gun: Dark Star uses this attack as both itself and the Fawful bug, requiring both brothers to jump onto Starlow during the charge-up time or else take major damage. The original Dark Star (and its X variant) will also pursue the brothers after the attack for just as much damage. Bowser's fire breath acts the same way. |

Awesome, but Impractical |
| | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae |
comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: As Bowser, using the Vacuum Block to inhale small enemies in combat will set them up for the Mario Bros. to finish off. Conceptually, pretty cool, but unless a combat encounter requires it (such as Dark Fawful Guys threatening to drop a powerful bomb, or the final boss only being vulnerable while inhaled), it's generally better to make use of Bowser's higher stats and crowd-clearing Flame attack to eliminate fodder enemies. The Fury status effect gives Bowser a big attack boost while lowering his defenses if he's taken a lot of damage in a single fight. This will probably only happen in some of the tougher boss battles, and if you're not good enough at countering attacks that you take enough damage to activate it, you probably won't last too long. |

Rare Candy: The Beans, in a change from the previous games, directly increase a character's stats when used. However, they're only found in the latter half of the game, and no enemy drops them; they must be found by drilling. In the remake, there's the Farmer Boots, a piece of equipment that allows either Mario or Luigi to occasionally get beans from enemies by killing them. However, there's only one pair in the game. |

Weapons That Suck: Not exactly a "weapon", but the Vacuum Block allows Bowser to suck up Blitties, small enemies, as well as parts of larger ones. It's far from sucky too, as almost all enemies that Bowser encounters are hampered by it in some way, or have an associated enemy that can be sucked up. |

The final confrontation between the Mario Bros. and Bowser, shown over the credits, does not go in Bowser's favor. Mario and Luigi easily defeat him in a few hits and Bowser is left beaten without really harming either of them in return. |

Took a Level in Kindness |
| | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Video Game) / int_3dcc914f |
comment |
Took a Level in Kindness: Despite their strained relationship from constant bickering and stubborness, Bowser warms up rather fast to "Chippy", who is, from his perspective, just a random person he accidentally swallowed up. Though quick to inform them he's no taxi service, Bowser frequently tells them of their whereabouts and his intentions, even though he doesn't need to. When this "Chippy" of his starts fixing up his body, the Koopa's so pleased he offers to make them an honorary minion of his. As "Chippy" begins unlocking hidden powers, Bowser forcibly welcomes them into his army. Only when the Koopa King discovers at the story's ending Starlow was his "little minion" all along does he flip out. |

The Fighting Narcissist: Bowser is very open about the fact that he considers himself ravishingly handsome, and there are numerous moments of self-worship of his own physique, manliness and abilities. |

Climax Boss: Alpha Kretin. It's the last boss fought before Mario and Luigi can (momentarily) reunite with Peach before she's kidnapped by Fawful and the existence of the Dark Star is revealed. After that, Mario and Luigi can finally leave Bowser's body, opening up the second half of the game. The Dark Star very late in the game, serving as the final boss that Mario and Luigi fight inside Bowser's body alone. Not much later, Bowser finally takes on Dark Fawful, upon whose defeat the actual Final Boss of the game is revealed. |

Ungrateful Bastard: The Goombas and Bob-Ombs trapped in the Jailgoon enemies fall under this trope depending on who's rescuing them. If the Mario Bros. free them, they'll simply run away. If Bowser frees them, they'll toss a mushroom (or Drumstick in the 3DS version) at him, restoring his HP. |

If you get an excellent with Broggy Bonker, Broggy tackles the enemy twice, and then one more time followed by the 15 Blitties you collected. One of them lags behind. |

Toggling Setpiece Puzzle |
| | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Video Game) / int_442304c0 |
comment |
Toggling Setpiece Puzzle: Three levels inside Bowser require Bowser to interact with an object from the outside world to access and alter the level geometry: The Pump Works is located within Bowser's esophagus. By drinking from a statue, Bowser can flood the level, which allows the Bros. to swim, moves some obstacles, and rehydrates Bubble Bloopers. This can be reverted by having Bowser step away from the statue. The Energy Hold is located within Bowser's torso. By activating the Boo-ray machine (pun on X-Ray), Bowser can toggle certain platforms on and off based on the presence of the machine's light (or lack thereof). The Airway is located within Bowser's lungs. By inhaling from a source of cold air, Bowser can freeze the water in the area, allowing platforms to stay put and blocks of ice to form, at the cost of blocking some areas off. |

Badass in Distress: At one point in the game, Mario gets kidnapped by Sockops and Luigi must rescue him. Bowser has his moments of this as well, frequently getting incapacitated and asking Starlow to do something in his body to fix him up. Most notably, at one point, Bowser is locked in his own safe and thrown away somewhere unknown by his own minions. You aren't allowed to return to playing as him for a sizable span of time, until Mario and Luigi finally find him in the junkyard of Peach's Castle. |

Ring-Out Boss: The Tower of Yikk, Bowser's second giant opponent, requires that you punch it into the lake you're fighting at so you can hit its head. Made easier by how easy it is to stop him from escaping the water afterwards. Peach's Castle, when it creates a second black hole. You'll need to punch it into the black hole behind it and avoid getting knocked into the one behind yourself (it'll use an Always Accurate Attack to knock Bowser in anyway). |

Infinity -1 Sword: A-OK Wear raises all stats by a high amount and prevents all Status Effects. While you can only get it once you have the Star Rank and it costs a whopping 20,000 coins for one pair, it's possible to earn that much money by having Mario and Luigi go out and explore all the areas that Bowser explored at the beginning (as soon as Bowser rescues the Koopa Troopas). It makes the last two dungeons and the Gauntlet a lot easier. |

Temporary Bulk Change |
| | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Video Game) / int_49f4768e |
comment |
Temporary Bulk Change: A running theme throughout the game: The Blorbs causes Toads to swell up into massively round forms. Humorously, there's a Toad in Toad Town who always looks like this — he's just that big! Bowser can grow enormous to fight equally-giant bosses. After winning a battle against Midbus, Bowser's treated to a feast by his (brainwashed) Boos; they feed him so much fattening food that he plumps up rapidly. This is intentional on Fawful's part, as he needs to extract Princess Toadstool from his body, and creating a "Flab Zone" is the fastest way to do it. The Snack Basket Bros. Attack involves Luigi gobbling down dozens of desserts, bloating to a massive size, and slamming into the ground, creating a shockwave. |

You Have Researched Breathing: It takes about 30 minutes of in-game progression for Bowser to learn the exquisite art of lying on the ground with his spiky shell pointing up for the purpose of defending from airborne attackers. At no point in the game do Mario and Luigi ever have the ability to wear overalls, gloves, socks, AND shoes at the same time. They do eventually learn how to wear two or three of these four items at a time. The remake downplays this by having the brothers and Bowser start with three Gear slots by default. |

Honest Axe: When Luigi is rescued from sinking by Princess Lipid, she asks Mario if he dropped him or a "treasure of everlasting wonder". You don't actually get to choose: she automatically assumes Mario wants the treasure, even though Mario insists on having his brother back. It takes multiple tries for Mario to convince her that yes, the one he wants is his brother. |

Long Song, Short Scene |
| | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Video Game) / int_4cefd8a6 |
comment |
Long Song, Short Scene: Every overworld location has a remix of their track that plays when you control the Mario Bros. inside Bowser, but only some areas actually require you to actually do so. The "inside Bowser" remixes of Dimble Wood, Bumpsy Plains/Blubble Lake, and Peach's Castle Gardens will usually only play for a few seconds each when you're en route to minigames or subareas that play their own tracks. The only time you need to play as the Mario Bros. inside Bowser when he's in Cavi Cape is during a brief tutorial about switching control between them, so the area's "inside Bowser" version is likely to only be heard in snippets. The Toad Town and underwater Blubble Lake remixes can easily go completely unheard in a casual playthrough unless you specifically go out of your way to listen to them, as the areas are really small and there's nothing in them that changes Bowser's body for the Bros., so there's no reason to use them. Overall, the only remixes a player will most likely fully hear in-game are those associated with large dungeons inside Bowser, which are the Trash Pit/Energy Hold (the tunnel/Tower of Yikk), the Pump Works (Plack Beach), the Flab Zone (Bowser's Castle), and the Airway (Peach's Castle). |

| | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 |
comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Giant battles are introduced in this installment, but they work differently from the other Mario and Luigi games. They involve the use of the microphone, you gain Exp after battle and there are no finishing moves. The remake would remove the former two while adding in the latter. Also, they cannot be replayed, something the Remake even rectified. Ranks are introduced in this game but when Mario, Luigi and Bowser rank up, it just allows them to equip additional pieces of gear for the first couple of ranks. Mario and Luigi's next two rank ups allow them to shop at the Toadles Shop and the Star Shop respectively and the final rank for Mario, Luigi and Bowser gives them the Excellent!! Bros. Badge and Intruder Fangs respectively. The remake changes Shine to Boomerang and has it come before Flower with the latter also allowing the Mario Bros. to shop at Toadles Shop and adds in the Master Boss Rank for Bowser and allows the player to select from a list of bonuses with each rank up like in Dream Team and Paper Jam. |

Match In A Bombshack: In Bowser's Castle, Bowser winds up lighting himself on fire when running on a treadmill to burn off all the extra weight he put on. He finds the dark room he's doing so in to be the castle's Bob-omb storage depot, accidentally lighting one using his burning body that causes the rest to explode, sending Bowser flying all the way to the other side of the Mushroom Kingdom. |

| | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Video Game) / int_5560dbb5 |
comment |
Airborne Mook: Some enemies can fly or float, and are thus immune to hammers, shells, shockwaves or any other low-hitting attacks. Bowser himself is unable to hit them via normal attacks as they either fly too high or can easily dodge his slow attacks. But he can still suck them up... as long as Mario and Luigi are willing to fight. |

Shadow of Impending Doom: Happens three times to Bowser, by his own castle, then by the Tower of Yikk, then by Peach's Castle. The second time, he even tries to recall what happened, but gets squashed before finding out. As for the third time, Bowser had no time to react before it squashed him. |

| | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Video Game) / int_55e5b37c |
comment |
Bragging Rights Reward: Reaching the final Rainbow rank for both Mario and Luigi grants them the Excellent!! badge (which only allows Excellent ratings to fill the badge meter but offers very high bonuses for doing so), while reaching Final Boss rank with Bowser grants him the Intruder Fangs (which allow him to move twice in one turn). However, it takes so long to get to level 40 that you'll likely only get these rewards right before the Final Boss, and only with extensive grinding, at which point there's nothing left to use them on. |

Stumbling in the New Form |
| | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Video Game) / int_58075ef2 |
comment |
Stumbling in the New Form: Exploited by Fawful as part of his Evil Plan, in both cases involving Temporary Bulk Change: Fawful sells Blorb Mushrooms to the Toads, which causes them to develop the Blorbs, a disease that makes them so large and round that they are hardly able to move beyond awkwardly rolling around. This means that once Bowser has vacuumed up the main heroes, a large number of the remaining Toads are too incapacitated to keep him from taking over Princess Peach's Castle. Later, Bowser is treated to a banquet in his own castle as a reward for defeating Midbus. The food was cooked to be very fattening, making him plump up in seconds. This makes him too slow to run past the brainwashed minions who are now force feeding him the food. He eventually gets so fat that he breaks through and gets stuck in the floor, allowing Fawful to extract Peach from his innards unimpeded. |

Eviler than Thou: One of Bowser's main motivations to fight Fawful; only HE is allowed to kidnap Peach! This occurs again against Dark Bowser. Only Bowser is allowed to take over the Mushroom Kingdom! Though by comparison, the Dark Star/Dark Bowser is worse than Fawful. While Fawful wants to use the Dark Star's power to take over the Mushroom and Bowser's Kingdom, the Dark Star/Dark Bowser wants to destroy it outright and cover the Mushroom World in darkness. |

| | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Video Game) / int_6320eced |
comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: At one point in the game, the Bros. have a boss fight against Bowser. In the fight, Bowser will more than likely have no stats in common with the ones he has while being controlled by the player, having far more HP than he would have by that point as well as lower power and defense. In addition, none of the gear he may have had on will be in effect, he'll never use items (this is changed in the remake, where he'll eat a drumstick once when entering Fury mode), and never do more than an "Ok" with his special attacks. While normally Bowser's fire breath deals less damage than his punches, here, the flame is deadlier to the Bros. than the punches. |

Grievous Harm with a Body: The Scutlet boss that swallows Starlow occasionally spits her back out, as an attack towards the Mario Bros.. Amusingly, instead of catching her and putting her aside to safety, they delve into the trope too as they smash her right back at the boss as a counterattack. She's obviously peeved about it if the counter succeeds, before getting swallowed up again. |

Puppeteer Parasite: Chain Chawfuls are Chain Chomps brainwashed by a Fawfulized parasitic worm in their head. Bowser can inhale the parasite to kill it, which frees the Chain Chomp from the mind control. You don't get EXP for doing this except for in the remake, and even so, you get less of it. |

Guide Dang It! |
| | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 |
comment |
Guide Dang It!: The requirement for getting a perfect 100-point score from the puzzle minigame, where no matter how well you do on an individual puzzle you will only get up to 99 points. The trick is that it's an event triggered by clearing all five puzzles in less than two minutes. Considering the usual scores are for individual puzzles, this isn't exactly intuitive. Bowser has a self-inflicted status effect called "Fury" that activates randomly after taking too much damage in a battle, basically doubling his attack at the cost of halving his defense. This mechanic is only mentioned if you ask Broque Monsieur to explain status effects, and it is entirely possible to beat the entire game having never come across the Fury status at all. |

Door to Before: Mainly happens in Bowser's body, where you'll get an easy path back to the map screen after the boss battle (or right before it in one case). Outside Bowser's body, this also happens a few times, most notably around Chakron; he provides a both-ways pipe so that you can leave easily when you first get to him, and after getting his Star Cure, he'll offer to warp you to Toad Town (where your next objective is). |

Spared by the Adaptation: In the original DS version, after Bowser's fight with the Fawful Express, the train blows up into several debris that crush the Monty Bros. as they attempt to flee in a panic. In the 3DS remake, they manage to escape after the battle, and Bowser throws the now abandoned train on a nearby bridge, destroying them both as they fall into a ravine. |

Healing Boss: Durmite the caterpillar is able to recover HP by sticking a straw in the ground (Bowser's internals) and drink from a straw. This can be stopped at any time by dealing enough damage to the straw. When fighting Bowser Memories M and L, if M is KO'd first, L can use a 1-up mushroom to bring M back into the fight. The last two bosses each have the means to restore their HP entirely, and will inevitably do so. The key to winning the battle is to inhale the smaller entity healing the larger one, then defeat the smaller entity from inside. |

Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Parts of the game have Bowser growing giant in order to combat opponents too large for regular size, but not before they almost crush him to death. Done in a not as large scale by Bowser X, who enlarges himself as an ultimate attack trying to roast the brothers or stomp them flat in an escape sequence. |

It Amused Me: Fawful decided that Bowser Castle needed to be able to fly, converts it into a theater so he can perform in front of his minions, funds a railroad that travels throughout the Mushroom Kingdom, and turns Peach's Castle into a giant mech. None of these have anything to do with his overall goal, and he apparently did it all just because. |

Puzzle Boss: Several bosses need a very particular strategy (such as one specific brother attacking an appropriate weak point, or using the boss's flunkies against him) to defeat. |

Scooby-Dooby Doors: The Magic Window attack. The Bros. hop into a disappearing, reappearing window and continually hop out onto enemies in random order until you miss a hit; either Mario, Luigi, or both at the same time. The frequency of the hops speeds up as you continue to get it right, and when it really gets going, you can actually see multiple copies of the same bro onscreen at once. |

What Happened to the Mouse? |
| | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Video Game) / int_863fa679 |
comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Wisdurm is never shown leaving Bowser's body. The Miracle Cure, which is used to destroy the barriers on Peach's Castle, then is never heard from again. This is after the heroes talk about using it against the Dark Star. It was mentioned beforehand by Toadley that he was unsure if the Miracle Cure would destroy the barriers and take down the Dark Star, so presumably, it was used up just trying to get into Peach's Castle. |

Laser-Guided Karma: Bowser's entire history with the second Star Cure. Before the events of the game, Bowser entered the house of a sage named Kuzzle, who greeted him amicably and challenged him to solve a jigsaw puzzle. Bowser couldn't figure it out, and in a rage attacked him, trashed the place and stole his Star Cure. Having no use for it, he put it away in a safe in his castle. Cut to the game's events, and in his efforts to reclaim the Star Cure in a time of need, he gets betrayed by two groups of people he had previously treated well, is severely injured by one of them, is forced to solve a jigsaw puzzle to remember the safe's combination, and is finally locked within the safe himself. |

Absurdly High Level Cap |
| | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Video Game) / int_91526ff7 |
comment |
Absurdly High Level Cap: The game caps at Level 99. The final rank for all 3 characters is level 40, a good 15 levels above what you’re most likely to fight the Final Boss at, and more than enough to demolish it. Some of the rematches of bosses in The Gauntlet do reach Rainbow Rank in recommended level but the final challenge is recommended at level 45 (3DS)/level 50 (DS), only halfway to the cap. |

Gambit Roulette: Fawful slips into this territory. For instance, getting Toads infected with the Blorbs seems to have no other purpose than to draw Bowser out of his castle in concern for "his" kingdom and get beaten up by Mario, getting smacked into the forest where he'd accept the mushroom from Fawful in desperation for a means to beat Mario. The Blorbs have the added effect of keeping everyone busy with the epidemic and off his tail, effectively making his work invisible until it is too late. |

Caged Inside a Monster: Among the enemies encountered in Bowser's castle after Fawful takes it over are the Jailgoons, which resemble large living cages with feet and with a cannon and shield for arms. Each Jailgoon contains either a Goomba or a Bob-omb, minions that evidently remained loyal to Bowser and that Fawful thus locked away inside the Jailgoons. |

Eating the Enemy: After eating the Vacuum Shroom, Bowser inhales the Mario Bros. upon returning to Peach's Castle. The Vacuum Block Bowser later gets from Broque Monsieur enables him to control this ability in combat, being able to use it to forcefully inhale other creatures and send them into his stomach, where the Bros. can fight them. This ability is essential in a lot of Bowser's boss fights. |

Difficult, but Awesome |
| | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb |

Difficult, but Awesome: The "Excellent!" badge will only fill the Badge Meter with perfect attacks, but the bonuses it grants to Mario and Luigi are very powerful like x2 damage on one attack or 50% HP recovery with status curing. The "Excellent!!" badge is even more powerful, but will empty the Badge Meter if attacks aren't perfectly executed. The Magic Window Special Attack for Mario and Luigi will progressively get harder to keep going due to the interval between attacks getting shorter (thus requiring good reaction times), but can out-damage every other attack in the game since there is no limit to the amount of attacks you get in a single use. This is downplayed in the remake, where the attack was nerfed to have a definitive finishing move like all other attacks. |

Took a Level in Badass: Bowser (with the help of Mario and Luigi, of course, but still a welcome relief from the severe case of Villain Decay). The Shroobs in Bowser Castle. Before, they were just low-level Mooks; here, a pack of three of them is midboss-level power. Just take a look at their stats before and after. Fawful starts as the second-in-command Dragon, is downgraded to a shop owner, and is now the primary boss of the game. |

Interface Spoiler: When you first regain control of Bowser after waking him up via Funny Bone, the command for using his flame is crossed out, revealing to the player early on that Bowser somehow lost his ability to breath fire before Bowser himself actually finds out. |

Foreshadowing: The first enemies Bowser encounters are morbidly obese Goombas. It may see comedic at first and resemble the Blorbs, but the Chuboombas are carrying lollipops. Bowser is later subject to similar sweets that ends in the same result. |

Continuity Nod: There's an Optional Boss battle against cryogenically-frozen Shroobs in Bowser Castle. Mario informs a disbelieving Starlow that Luigi was instrumental during the Shroob invasion after she mocks him by asking if his "ferocious crying" helped. At the beginning of the game, Peach uses her Wish Power from Paper Mario to remove Bowser from her castle. There's a segment where Luigi gets stuck from the waist down inside a Sockop, a monster that looks like a green boot, a reference to the "Goomba's Shoe" from Super Mario Bros. 3. It even lets him walk safely over thorns and other hazards like the Goomba's Shoe. It's later revealed that one of the Sockops is named Kuribo, which is the Japanese name for Goomba. During the Boss Battle with Junker, a bucket falls onto one of the Bros.'s heads and you (the player) must guide them around, avoiding being crushed by Thwomps. This is very similar to the premise of the Japan-only Mario & Wario, where the fairy Wanda must successfully guide Mario through a level while one of various items is obscuring his vision. The first and most iconic of said items is a bucket. Bowser Memory M and Bowser Memory L's attacks are based on previous Super Mario Bros. games. Memory M finds a Super Star and charges through his enemies, or he finds a mushroom and starts breaking blocks. Memory L is chased by a ghost. A Shy Guy mentions Mouser while trying to remember the name of Bowser Castle. The 'Deep Peach's Castle' theme includes a harpsichord version of Cackletta's Theme as a background harmony. Fawful's old mistress would be proud. Exclusive to the remake, Dark Fawful's battle theme is a Dark Reprise of the Fawful and Cackletta battle theme from Superstar Saga. |

Evil Is Not a Toy: Subverted. The Dark Star overpowers Fawful to regain the energy he had absorbed from it, consuming Fawful along with it. However, the two seem to form a mutually beneficial relationship, with Fawful powering up Dark Bowser from within during its fight with the real Bowser, and the Dark Star's core lending its energy and assistance to Fawful in his own battle against Mario and Luigi. |

Finishing Move: Invoked by Bowser at the very end of the game, in which he pummels the dying final boss with four normal punches followed by one giant one. In the remake, every Giant Bowser fight ends with one in which Bowser rapidly punches the boss several times, uppercuts them into the air, and gives them a Megaton Punch to finish it. |

Chest Monster: Trashure (and Dark Trashure, later in Peach's Castle), a fairly regular enemy that doesn't bother trying to trick you. The chest opens at low health, giving Bowser the chance to inhale the coins inside. The regular attack also sometimes spits out coins (or mushrooms). It's also a bit of a Metal Slime, however, and tends to flee the battle. |

Cool House: Bowser Castle and Peach's Castle. They're both ridiculously massive in size and amount of rooms (four or five floors each minimum), and both can actually become giant robots. The former can fly to dodge missiles and fight against Bowser himself, while the latter becomes a massive robot which attacks via laser beams and black holes. Neither of them normally do this, of course; these are the results of Fawful's tinkering. |

Infinity +1 Sword: Broggy Bonker, Bowser's reward for finding all 15 Blitties — which isn't possible until the final level is unlocked. Broggy Bonker has amazing single-target damage, has a chance to dizzy enemies it hits, and a relatively simple method to power Broggy up. Its only downside is having the highest BP cost in the game. |

Only Known by Their Nickname: Starlow's name is mentioned all of once in the prologue, once in the ending, and once almost exactly halfway between. One can be forgiven for thinking of her throughout the entire rest of the game as "Chippy" — all of the good guys know her real name, but two are silent protagonists, and Peach spends most of the game captured or sitting in town. |

Dueling Player Characters: Midway through the game, the Mario Bros. fight Bowser after finally getting out from his insides. Bowser has all of the special attacks that he learned while in the player's command. However, he usually executes them rather poorly, despite being the only enemy capable of performing Action Commands. He also never uses defensive commands such as punching the Bros. when they hammer or ducking in his shell when they jump. To make up for this, he has far more HP during this battle than when under the player's control. |

Unique Enemy: Elite Goombules, which are fought exactly once in the Trash Pit, in a tutorial for the Green Shell. They never appear again, and for good reason; the game gives you the hammers after the fight, which defeats their only purpose. There's also the boss-exclusive enemies, including Leaf Guys, Biffidus, Junker Cans, Snawfuls, and Dark Satellmites. |

Bread and Circuses: Not only does Fawful win over the respect of nearly all of Bowser's henchmen, but he turns Bowser Castle into a theater. And even Bowser has to admit that his cooking is excellent, although a bit fattening. |

In the remake, every Giant Bowser fight ends with one in which Bowser rapidly punches the boss several times, uppercuts them into the air, and gives them a Megaton Punch to finish it. |

Boss-Altering Consequence: The Sea Pipe Statue can normally only be damaged by counterattacks, but if Bowser inhales it, then Mario and Luigi can damage it with their normal attacks. During Midbus' battle, the audience will throw food onto the stage whenever Midbus successfully lands an attack. Midbus will eat the food to heal himself on his next turn, but Bowser can also inhale this food to heal himself instead or give him buffs. If Bowser didn't rescue the Shy Guys from their cage and get their special move, then he won't use their attack when fought by the Mario Bros. as a boss at Toadley's Clinic. |

Starting with the Dark Star, the only plot events are these boss fights and the buildup for them, and if you just go right for these bosses and do nothing else, there won't even be any regular enemies. |

Shout-Out |
| | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Video Game) / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: The English localization seems to feature references to internet memes. Fawful's first line of dialogue in the game is "A winner is you!" and after the boss fight at the Toad Town clinic, Bowser uses the phrase "Cry more!" Enemies called Fawfulcopters may also be a reference. However, they don't go "Soi soi soi." After a Toad in Toad Town teaches the bros how to dig up special beans, he says, "They're a secret to everybody". Midbus' final form seems to resemble Ganon. Also, that logo on his shoulder looks suspiciously similar to the Pigmask logo in Mother 3... Remember the Boo and the Koopa who are referred to as "Honey" (the female) and "Darling" (the male)? Doesn't that sound familiar? One of the enemy types in Bowser's Castle is a robot cage with one of Bowser's minions trapped inside. Defeating it frees the minion. Fawful sings a song reminiscent of the Scooby-Doo theme when asking where the Dark Star is. Private Goomp, Sergeant Guy and Corporal Paraplonk each share the same rank and coloration as Tamama, Keroro, and Giroro from Sgt. Frog. |

Metal Slime: Both kinds of Trashure run away quickly if not taken out, but they can be inhaled for lots of coins when they open, and they have a chance to drop good equipment (Trashures drop a ring that increases earnings from insta-defeating tiny enemies as Bowser, and Dark Trashures drop an SP-regenerating band). Lakitu Kings and Glam Lakitus are rare (they're only found in battles with certain enemies as Bowser, and must be inhaled) and flee battle if they aren't killed fast enough. However, they constantly throw coins when they attack, and either drop equipment that sells for a lot or boots that increase coinage from jumping on enemies. |

Death of a Thousand Cuts |
| | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Video Game) / int_cadf2d2a |
comment |
Death of a Thousand Cuts: In the original game, the Magic Window uses a ludicrous amount of your SP and the individual attacks only do a quarter of the damage your normal jumps can do...but it will not stop until either you screw up an Action Command or everything on the other end of the field is dead. Averted in the remake, where the move can no longer be used infinitely. |

Taking You with Me: The Dark Star tries to suck in the Bros. as a final attack after its HP has been defeated in its fight. Fawful tries it on the Bros. at the end of the game. It fails, and actually frees everyone from Bowser's insides. |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Literally, in Bowser's case, as his final attack against the Dark Star, an ancient abomination of pure dark energy, is to continuously punch it into oblivion. |

Dude, Not Funny!: When Starlow mockingly asks Luigi if he vanquished the Shroobs with some "serious crying", he's visibly saddened by this. Mario tells Starlow that Luigi actually discovered the Shroobs' weakness. note Ironically, it was baby tears. Starlow quickly backpedals on her comment. |

comment |
Developer's Foresight: Before Starlow explains the star menu, she accidentally knocks Luigi to the ground, making him lose 1 HP. This is done to make sure that Starlow can show the player how to use an item because you can't heal at full health. All of the enemies that Bowser will One-Hit Kill if he stomps over them in the overworld have actual encounters when the Mario Bros. fight them. This includes the Borps, found in Cavi Cape, even though there's no reason to revisit that area as the Bros. except for the very small number of Beans found there. All the caged enemies that are in locations Mario and Luigi can reach have unique dialogue for the Bros. interacting with them. This includes the Shy Guys and Bob-ombs, who are right on Bowser's path and would only take a few seconds to get, while the Bros. are separated from these cages by a couple hours of gameplay. Relatedly, if the player did not open the Shy Guys' cage as Bowser before getting to the Toadley Clinic as the Bros., Bowser won't use the Shy Guy Squad attack in his boss fight. |

What the Hell, Hero? |
| | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Video Game) / int_d39e327f |
comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Broque Monsieur hates Mario since bashing in coin blocks "decreases their value" and makes business harder for him and thus will tell the Bros. to get out of his shop, albeit politely. Parodied with the Wiggler. He tells Bowser to "take responsibility" for pulling up the Giga-Carrot by eating it for the Banzai Bill; when Bowser does, Wiggler gets mad and, rather than cough up the Bullet Bill as he promised, starts a fight! And the Koopa King needs to own up for his actions? Note that he got mad and attacked you not because you pulled the carrot up, but because you ate it, which he told you to do. When Bowser promptly defeats him, he will then whine about what a brute he is for beating him up in a fight he started. If you don't break down the cage that the Koopas are trapped in with Bowser, and talk to them as Mario and Luigi, they'll talk about how cool Bowser is, and how he'll defeat the Bros., but then they realize that he didn't let them out of the cage they're stuck in, and remark that that's not cool. |

Non-Fatal Explosions: Accidentally setting off an entire storeroom of Bob-ombs does nothing more than send Bowser across the world map. At the end of the game, Fawful blows himself up, which not only doesn't harm Mario, Luigi or Starlow in the slightest, but propels everyone out of Bowser's body and only gives Bowser himself a spicy taste. |

Mirror Boss |
| | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Video Game) / int_d47d9b71 |
comment |
Mirror Boss: The final boss battle of the game is Bowser versus the Dark Star turned into Dark Bowser, a clone of him. One of its attacks is to punch him, which must be countered by Bowser's own punch, followed by a shell slam, which must be countered by Bowser's Shell Shield. He also uses Bowser's various abilities, such as fire breath, and even (when giant) mimics a Bowser Army attack. He even has a mini helper inside his body to boost his abilities as he needs them which can be dragged out to be fought by the also mini Mario and Luigi. Bowser Memory M and Bowser Memory L are a particularly bizarre example, as they're formed from Bowser's memories of battling the Mario Bros. and are fought by the same duo when they reach his memory storage. |

Tactical Suicide Boss: If the Monty Bros. didn't come out of the Fawful Express to bomb Bowser, they would have had a much better chance of escaping and winning — countering the bomb attack does a lot of damage to the Fawful Express, even more than an "Excellent" fire breath. The Dark Star is completely invincible unless you hit it with the Dark Satellmites it summons. Dark Bowser growing via help of the Dark Fawful Bug. Thanks to this, Bowser is able to punch his stomach and force him to cough up the Dark Fawful Bug. |

Contrived Coincidence: The first sage's plotline: Bowser just so happened to swallow her from the Giga-Carrot he ate earlier in the story. The brothers then find out she's the sage they beat as a worm causing Bowser's stomachache. Once they spot her, she flees into the Energy Hold area behind a blockade of Boo blocks. Some time later, Bowser — who has no idea about the brothers in his body or who the first sage even is — wanders around Bubble Lake to get to the forest and ends up fighting a giant lighthouse robot that just so happens to have a mechanism in it needed to clear the path inside his stomach so the brothers can chase Wisdurm into the Energy Hold. |

Shoot the Medic First: Bowser's Memory ML. If you take out M first, L will revive him with a 1-Up if given a chance. For a more indirect definition of "medic", one enemy is a Thwomp with a head cold that is more easily dispatched if you remove its ice pack first. The battle against Dark Fawful has his helmet, which heals him for 300 HP very often. You need to suck it in when it detaches. |

Insistent Terminology: Double Subverted with the Miracle Toadley Cure. At first, he insists Starlow refer to the Miracle Cure by its full name, but then he seems to drop the issue soon after. However, if you talk to him later, he's muttering the full name under his breath. |

Determinator: Bowser goes through a lot of abuse in this game, but despite getting squished flat multiple times, getting his usual trouncing from the Mario Bros., and getting hit with other numerous setbacks, he keeps on going and will not stop until he has what he believes he rightfully deserves (which is, of course, total rule over the Mushroom Kingdom and Princess Peach). Shown through one of Dark Bowser's attacks in which Bowser has to face an onslaught of dark versions of his minions. Bowser is initially pushed back several dozen feet by the mob and the counter consists of him charging back towards Dark Bowser and punching or shelling aside every minion that comes at him. |

Green Hill Zone: Subverted. The Bumpsy Plains would be an example, if not for the fact that you clear a sizable portion of the game (3 regions, 2 Bowser dungeons and several boss fights) before setting foot there. |

Laser-Guided Amnesia: After being tricked by Fawful, Bowser devours the strange mushroom that grants him the vacuum breath needed to defeat Mario with. Bowser basically goes Drunk with Power at this point, and swallows up everyone. Cue evil laughter before then collapsing. When he rouses from his slumber, he forgets everything. This works to the Mario Bros' advantage, as Starlow (operating under the alias "Chippy") points out, if he recalled what happened earlier, he would never cooperate with the heroes. Their journey to escape Bowser's body would be over before it started. It's mentioned that most likely the reason Bowser forgot his safe's combination is specifically because he just got hit by an entire train which damaged the memory rather than just forgetting it naturally. |

Why Won't You Die?: Fawful delivers one of these to Bowser, dropping his Affably Evil facade. At the start, Bowser was just a convenient pawn, and an unwitting dup of Fawful's scheme...now after screwing with Fawul's scheme at every turn Fawul says he hates Bowser as much as Mario and Luigi (Which Bowser takes as an insult being lumped together with Mario). |

Infernal Retaliation: One of Bowser X's attacks starts off with a simple fireball attack. Upon one of the Bros. hitting it back with a hammer, it sets Bowser on fire, causing him to rain flames on the Bros., then follow it up with a spiked shell ball slam. Bowser does it during a minigame in Peach's castle where a giant piranha plant sets his rolled-up shell on fire. He uses it to his advantage and rams the piranha plants to death. Later, Bowser and Dark Bowser set each other on fire, and both of them roll up into flaming spikeballs trying to tackle each other. |

Lampshaded when Bowser is treated by his brainwashed Boos to a victory feast consisting of cakes, giant hot dogs, turkey (a whole one at first, followed by several legs), doughnuts and ham. Bowser comments on how greasy, succulent and unhealthy the food is before declaring he's going to eat it all. The Boos also tell him the dishes are high in fat and calories. |

Dark Reprise: Fawful's battle theme is a slower arrangement of of his and Cackletta's in Superstar Saga, replacing the generic boss theme from the original. Symbolically, this shows that Fawful has surpassed Cackletta both as a threat and as a diabolical mastermind, all the while carrying on her twisted legacy. |

Wake-Up Call Boss: The Durmite for the Bros. She's the first boss in the game that can heal herself (though you can just destroy her straw to prevent that from happening), and the first Flunky Boss. Though not extremely difficult for that point in the game, she's definitely a step up from Scutlet. |

Theme Naming: Fawfulized enemies will have part of their name replaced with part of Fawful's name (Crocodile — Crawful, Chain Chomp — Chain Chawful, Monty Mole — Mawful Mole, etc) Many locations in the outside world are named after parts or ailments of the head: Cavi Cape (cavity) and Plack Beach (tooth plaque) are the most obvious, but then there's Bumpsy Plains (Otapuku Sougen — "Mumps Meadow"), Blubble Lake (Zutsuuda Lake — "Lake Headache"), and Dimble Woods (Ekubon no Mori — "Dimple Woods")note Many of the Japanese names are deliberate mispellings. "Otafuku" is "mumps", "zutsuu" is headache, and "ekubo" is Dimple. |
