'''Beans''' are collectible items that have made an appearance in five [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'']] games to date. Additionally, the [[Beanish]] are a race of bean-like people.

Beans are plentiful in the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', and while collecting them is entirely optional, they will help [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. There are four kinds of beans in the game, and each are acquired in a different way:

 

*[[File:BeansWoo SS.png]] '''Woo Beans''' are green and are usually found after fighting enemies like [[Beanie]]s, [[Sharpea]]s and [[Tanoomba]]s.

*[[File:BeansHee SS.png]] '''Hee Beans''' are yellow and are awarded as prizes in minigames in [[Stardust Fields]] ([[Border Jump]]), [[Hoohoo Mountain]] ([[Mysterious Mine Carts]]), the [[S.S. Chuckola]] ([[Barrel (minigame)|Barrel]]), [[Little Fungitown]] ([[Star 'Stache Smash]]) and [[Chucklehuck Woods]] ([[Chuckola Bounce]]).

*[[File:BeansChuckle SS.png]] '''Chuckle Beans''' are red and are the most common type. They are hidden underground. When [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] come across an "X" or some other distinguishing feature on the ground, Mario can perform the [[Luigi Dunk]] to pound Luigi underground. By popping out of the ground at the spot of the "X", Luigi will uncover a Chuckle Bean. If Mario is pounded on by a hammer and turned into [[Mini-Mario]], a ! sign will be over his head if there is a Chuckle Bean under him.

*[[File:BeansHoo SS.png]] '''Hoo Beans''' are brown and the rarest type. They are found in invisible [[? Block]]s in seemingly dead end areas. By jumping around, one might uncover one of these Blocks, always containing one Hoo Bean. Additional invisible ? Blocks containing five or seven Hoo Beans can be found in [[Joke's End]] and the [[Koopa Cruiser]] after it is repaired. In the remake, if the [[Secret Specs]] are equipped, these invisible ? Blocks can be seen to make Hoo Beans slightly easier to collect.

 

As a final supply, there is a pair of [[Oho Jee]]s south of [[Oho Oasis]] running a [[Surfing Minigame|surfing game]] that awards all type of beans except Hee Beans.

 

All beans can be taken to the [[Starbeans Cafe]], where they are blended into stat-boosting Bean Juice for Mario and Luigi.

 

During the battle with [[Queen Bean]], she spits out a bean when both of her arms are degenerated, which needs to be jumped over. If Mario and Luigi stomp on the bean, it will spawn a Beanie.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', beans are optional and can boost stats. These beans are called Heart Beans (which adds a point to the player's HP), Special Beans (which adds a point to the player's SP), and Power Beans (which adds a point to the player's attack power). An [[Emoglobin]] in the [[Energy Hold]], a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] in [[Toad Town]], and [[Toadsworth]] in the [[Toad Square]] provide information about beans.

 

The [[star menu]] allows the player to see how many beans they have collected as well as the total number of beans in each area. It also allows the player to use beans in the consumable item list where they are categorized by bean type. There are 251 beans in the whole game. Most of them are collected from beanholes – flashing dots underground in [[Bowser's body]] and X-shaped bean symbols on the ground of the overworld – by using [[Drill Bros.]] and jumping out. A small number of them can be collected from characters by doing sidequests: 15 from [[PR Toad]], and 39 from [[Kuzzle]].

An oversized Bean appears as a healing item for [[Crawful]]s, and also an attack by [[Magifoofa]].

In the game's remake, ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', Defense, Speed and Stache Beans (the latter of the three being renamed "Flex Beans") have been added to the game. Multiple beans can be dug up in one drill spot, and some beans are also obtained after defeating the giant bosses. After talking to a certain Toad in [[Toad Town]] who gives information about beans, any sections with uncovered drill spots will be marked in the map.

Like in other ''Mario & Luigi'' games, beans are a collectible in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', to the extent they were in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', where they boosted the brothers' stats upon eating them. Beans are marked as Xs in the ground, and upon Mario digging one up gives the player a bean that permanently boosts one of the brother's stats by one stat point. Unlike the earlier games, there are Beans for all of the stats rather than just beans for Power, HP and SP (which was changed back to BP as of this game).

Beans are only dug up in the Real World. If the player pauses the game and goes into the Beans section in the Collection Menu, they can find a list of all the areas with beans and how many they've found and how many there are in each area. Stat DX Beans that increase the aforementioned stat by three points can also be obtained from Golden Beanies as a drop and from [[Kylie Koopa]] upon completing a Level 3 puzzle within the goal time for the first time. Beans can also be gained from equipping the Wellington Boots/Farmer Boots, which may turn coins into bean drops. There are a total of 143 beans that can be dug up in the game, with there being 24 of each bean (with the exception of Speed Beans, which there are 23 of) to find.

 

*[[File:Heart Bean.png]] '''HP Beans:''' Pink beans that increases a bro's HP.

*[[File:Bros Bean.png]] '''Bros. Beans:''' Green beans that increases a bro's BP.

*[[File:Power Bean.png]] '''Power Beans:''' Orange beans that increases a bro's POW.

*[[File:Defence Bean.png]] '''Defense Beans:''' Silver beans that increases a bro's DEF.

*[[File:Speed Bean.png]] '''Speed Beans:''' Blue beans that increases a bro's SPEED.

*[[File:Stache Bean.png]] '''Stache Beans:''' Brown beans that increases a bro's STACHE.

Beans returned in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', acting the same way they did in both ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' and ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''. Like in the previous two games, the number of beans collected in each area can be viewed in the menu, this time from the Collection screen. Beans are dug up from X-marked circular spots on the ground and walls, and can be collected with the [[Trio Drill]] ability on the overworld. Beans can also be obtained after passing the Know-it-all Toad quizzes. In addition to this, the [[List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam#Wellington Boots|Wellington Boots]] return and cause enemies to drop beans when defeated. Finally, countering [[Petey Piranha]]'s chase attack may give a bean.

DX Beans also return. The [[Bad Nabbit]] mission gives the player these beans after each battle with [[Nabbit]], Finally, the [[Paper Broozer]]s' barrel throwing attack may sometimes cause one or more of these beans to appear when countered.

*A man in Beanbean Castle Town says that most of the [[Beanish]] people are too lazy to search for them, which is why there are so many Chuckle Beans scattered about the land.
